Secretary Of the Treasury.
Progress of the Canvass.

The signs of the times in all directions ind-
cate the triumphant election of ScoTT and
GRAHAM. We give below a few specimens
Of the letters that we are daily receiving. The
cause of the allied Fire-eaters and Freesoilers
is losing ground in all quarters-and we shall
no doubt be spared the creation of Cabinet
with SoULE, JOHN VAN buren,, PRESTON
KING, VENABLE, Governor BROWN, and Gov
ernor CLEVELAND, for its members. We an
mex extracts from our correspondence:
INDIANA.
A correspondent writes from Madison:
al believe the Wings of INDIANA will do their
duty without finching. We have found several
in this end of the State who are recent converts to
Scorr"
Another writes from Indianapolis:
81 am satisfied, from every thing have seen and
heard, that the Wings of INDIANA will now fight
to the election harder than they ever fought be.
fore, and if prudent counsels prevail, it does ap
pear to me the State will give ScorT q handsome
majority in November
Another, writing from Rushvic, says:
"The prospect is very hattering in this county
for US at this time. Ifthere is nothing new to turn
the scale between now and the election, Rush will
turn up three hundred for ScoTr and GRAHAM.
Our State election coming of in October for State
officers, will probably go Democratic by small
majority; and, if it don't exceed five thousand,
we will pull the State up for ScoTT in November
easy. WRIGHT, the Democratic candidate for
Governor, ia a very popular man, and is can
didate; but the State has gone SO largely Demo
cratic for the last ten years, that can't calcu
late for certain on this election. We sanguine
though of our candidate for Congress in J. L. Ron,
INsos's district"
A letter from Jasper county, Indiana, says:
"There is no mistake but that q large number of
the Germans in this county will vote for SCOTT.
There ia a clear majority Of Democrats in this
county of 450; but mark my prediction, that the
majority for Pierce will not be 200 in this county.
Indeed, have heard intelligent Germans say
boldly that ScoTT will get majority. This how
ever, think, is too much"
Another from Indianapolis says:
81 hear Of great many changes in favor OF
SoorT and GRAHAM daily. Some of them are
within my own personal knowledge. farmer

day, remarked that he was Democrat, but that

dollars to cancel the debt; which did Ano.

PENNSYLVANIA.
| correspondent writing from Reading says:
"Our prospects throughout PENNSYLVANIA are

| Another. writing from Edensburg, says:
This county last October gave Governor Bio
