Correspondence of The N. Y. Tribune.
LAFAYETTE Ind, Nov. 10, 1856.
In THE TRIBUNE of November you attribute the
disastrous result of the election to the vote Of forty
thousand unnaturalzed foreigners So as the Irish
immigrants are concerned this s perfectly true. They
voted like one man, against Freedom and Fremont
for Buchanan, Breckenridge and Slavery But the
Germans acted otherwise The more intelligent among
them rallied Enthusiastically around the glorious banner
of the Pal finder and over one-haf of the entire Ger
man population Of Indiana cast their vote for Fremont
and Dayton in spite of the bitter and mpudent denun
citation from the corrupt Buchanan wrepuerS and their
obedient ckspttes the Irish and the uneducated Ger
MANS In this With District of Indiana, james VIII
son. Republican candidate for Congress- has solely been
elected by the German vote, and Germans have re-
duced the O1-Lne majority in Lafayette at the Octo-
Der election from 279 TO f., glorious change during
two short weeks We have further abundant informa
ton from oil parts of Indiana that the better class of
Germans stood up for Fremont and Dayton, and hope
therefore that you will modify your sweeping charge
against the immigrants of this State.
But what then has lost us Indiana There are sew
eral causes which have told fearuy against US. Owing
to the unfortunate fusion with the Fillmore party of
this State for the Gubenatoria election, our Republ-
can Central Committee has unws ely RETAINED from
actively cdnNasslnS the southern part vi inudud,
where FImores chief strength rests. Here live the
descendants of the old Kentucky settlers OF ladiana
who cherish yet prediction for the peculiar iDsti-
tuition without schools, they have no abundance Of
il tellgeuce; the cry of "Abslitionists makes them
shudder and the infamous charge of g disunion,
which the BUCCANEERS constantly brought forward
against the Republicans, frightened these benishted
sons of the Egypt of Indiana completely out of their
wits And TO this portion of State, where clear
exposition of Republican principles was most needed,
our leading men failed TO send Fremont speakers
and Fremont documents; for, owing to their unfortu-
late alliance with the Fillmore party, they thought an
efficient Re publican canvass of Southern Indiana might
ALLEVIATE the feelings of the Fmomners and endanger
he result of the Guberuatoral election The result of
this tempoIzing policy is not only the defeat of Judge
Morton. who was basely betray cd by the Fillmore
psrty. but the lose Of this State to Fremont. The
lesson to be draw from this disaster will be most use
full We know now where have to throw our
Republican shells for the campaign of ls6o, and IN
daunted are full Of spirit and enthusiasm Tor our
glorious cause we hope to send i'll 1858 an entirely he
publican delegation to Congress. The northern aud
central portion Of Indiana breathes the proud spirit OF
the Ordinance Of 49, and with John c. Fremont as
standard bearer for 1860 we are sure to overcome
the Democratic majority which the Southern counties
Of Indiana might roll up. ISpIAsA
