The Prospects.


The prospects for the election ofthe whole
anti-Nebraska ticket in Indiana are not only
encouraging, but they render the fact almost
certain. The feeling among the PEOPLE is
such, that all party distinctions are wiped
away TO make room for this one question:
1t is true that those who hold the Offices, and
those other leaders of the same certain fac
ton who desire to secure these Offices when
they drop from the hands of their present
possessors, are using every endeavor to rally
the old party which gave them the Offices
but they are fighting against public opinion.
The people of Indiana are no longer to be
gulled by these Office holders and Office seek
-ers. They are no longer to have opiaions
crammed down their throats, without think
ing for themselves whether it be proper or
not to swallow such s;rff In other words,
the people are wide awake and fully deter
mined to have their own way for once, with
out dictation from any source.
whole ticket opposed to the Machine Demo-
crat ticket, or opposed to the Nebraska Dem
ocrat ticket, are fattering indeed. AS the
Lafayette Courier, an old Democratic paper,
says-from present indications every one of
the peoples candidates will be triumphantly
elected, also the Peoples State ticket, and
an overwhelming majority of the Peoples
candidates for the Legislature. There is the
best Of reason for so thinking. Take the
vote for Governor at the last Guberna;orial
election, at which 10. Wright received over
10000 Of majority, and it only requires a
change of seven votes in each township in
the State, to secure the election Of the Peo-
Piles candidates. Does anybody suppose
there is township in the State that seven
Democrats cannot be found who will vote
with the people, in opposition to slavery ex-
tension and free whiskey, From every part
of the State the cheering news reaches us
that hundreds Of Democrats are throwing off
the party yoke, and entering into the contest
with zeal that knows no abatement. In
diana must and will be redeemed. The PEG.
pie have determined to send no more dough-
faces to represent them in Congress and be
bought by Southern slavocrats, or frightened
into the support Of measures directly the op-
poste to all their former professions, lest the
Union be dissolved. The shame that has
crimsoned the cheek of every Indianian, in
view OF the fact that our State was the most
servile of any OF the free States, on the vote
for the Kansas Nebraska nfamy, will be
wiped out OF the 10th of OCTOBER. The
people have everything to encourage them
in this contest. Iowa has led off and set a
glorious example. Every Northern free State
will follow suite, and, our word for it, India
ma will not be behind the foremost of them.
The party leaders begin to realize the hope
lessness of their cause, and have summoned
TO their aid the slave holding Douglas, and
other foreign influence. But it is all in vain.
The Augean stables must and will be swept,
and nothing short Of a miracle can prevent
