You have probably noticed the condition in which
whigery is placed in this State The declnaon of
sion from which it is impossible for them to recover be-
fore the election Their State central committee met
week ago in indianapolis to fill the ticket, but could not
soil candidate, and the balance refusing it. The conse.
quence was, they had to adjourn without nomination
They called convention to meet the third of May, to fill
the ticket but the idea of candidate commencing in
May to canvass the State is preposerous am inclined
to think they will let the election go by default If they
make nomination. it will be merely matter of formal
ity, 10 keep up show of organization
We will certainly gain two members of Congress this
summer We will beat Embree and Dunn and we have
almost an equal chance to carry Thomson's district.
There also ehance to run democrat in SMITHS dis
triCt
Hon John L. Robinson, of this Uhe third) district, is
likely to be the only old member returned to the next
Congress. Perhaps Rockhill may-uncertain, though.

their duty in the States which yet to vote for

will not have working majority there. The following
