The August Elections.

North Car0llnd, 1ehncsSct, hid'dnid, ~
lansas and Texas. We give in another
column full lists of the candidates put up by
the several parties.
In INDIANA ten Members Of Congress are
t. be chosen on the 4th inst. The canvass
has been an unusually able and thorough
one, and the prospect is favorable Tor the
Whips. In the last Congress the delega-
ton from this State stood eight Opposition,
one Opposition Free Soiler, and one Wing
now we shall be badly disappointed If 1t
does not count three or four Wings.
In the Ist District, there is no Whig nom
inee, but L. @. De Bruler, Independent, has
been working hard and will get all the Wing
votes the probability is, however, that
Lockhart, Opposition, will be elected by at
least 500 majority. In the lind District c.
l.. Durham is the Opposition candidate for
reelection, but Roger Martin Whig, has
crowded him in the canvass and will crowd
him in the election There is a chance
that he may beat him, but our expectations
arc not very confident; Dunhan's majority
in Is49 was 500. In the Hid the Wings
think they will elect Col. Watts over John
l.. Robinson, (whose majority in l5i9 was
S0O) and we may say that the National
Councils would lose nothing by such
change. In the WITH we think Samuel w.
Z L al. Nj
G.. w. Julian will have leave to stay at
home. The District is Whig and on fair
fight such as this must give sufficient ma
ority. The Coalition which elected Julian
in 10 has lost its virtue and fallen into con-
fusion. The Vth is largely and certainly
Opposition. In the With two Opposition can
didates have been running, but one of them
has withdrawn and German will no doubt be
reelected In the With +. w. McGaughey
is running on the Whig side, and has been
hard pressed Oh account of his surprising
and unaccountable vote In favor OF the
Fugitive Slave bill. In the canvass he has
been obliged to defend that bill out-and-out,
as the only way to justify his course in this
respect, and will lose a great many Whig
votes. Still, as there are two Opposition
candidates and good deal of discord in
that party, he has not a bad chance ; be-
sides, nc will get some Loco-Foco support,
for the very reason which alienates por
ton of the Wings His majority in 10
was l,lOO. In the With District David
Brier, Whig, is running against Daniel
Mace Mr. Brier is strong and popular
man, and got good vote in Al, but we
shall by no means be surprised if he fails
now In the lXth Schuyler ColiaX, one of
the ablest and foremost of the young men
of the State, is the Wing candidate against
Dr. c. n. Fitch, who represented the
District in the last Congress. Colfax per-
formed distinguished part in the late
Constitutional Convention, is deserved
ly popular among men of all parties
and will get larger vote than any other
Whig could hope for. We shall be disap-
pointed if he is not elected. The candi-
dates have been stumping the district and
more thorough canvass could not be
made. DIR. Fitch will lose largely from his
recreancy to the Free Soil pledges he gave
previous to his former election. His ma
jorty in 10 was 300 In the Xth Samuel
Brenton, Independent Whig, has been can
vassing very energetically against James
W, Borden and James Crabs. There is a
chance that in the division of the Opposition
fierce Mr.. Brenton NAV be elected.
In this State the Fugitive Slave Law has
been an important topic IN the canvass. In
some districts the feeling of opposition to
it has been warm, but in most districts
there has been manifested no general or
very resolute disposition TO seek its modih-
cation. The Presidential question has also
been a good deal considered the Wings of
Indiana are unanimous in favor of Gen.
Scott, while the Opposition go for Gen.
Lane, the Marion of the Mexican War
and the Hero of the West"
In KENTUCKY State officers as well as
Members of Congress are TO be chosen on
the 4th Hon. Archibald Dixon, the Whig
candidate, will have very close pull for
Governor, aud the probability is that we will
loseit. Cassus NJ. Clayis running indepen-
IDENTITY for this Office on the ground of
Emancipation, and is severely blamed for So
doing Ia certain quarters. 1t is thought
that as the State recently decided against
Emancipation the question should be allowed
to sleep for the present, but we do not see
