aus pROgpEol In ILLINOIS AND INDIANA.
hsrs aFs no two states in the Union whose political
sospts are watched with intense interest BY the
,n,s At srgs than ths States Of Illinois and Indiana
Z tro states from whose citizens have been received
,g ~ prssut canvass such contradictory statements
! r.gsrd 70 the relative strength Of the democrats and
,5.ck republicans We have desire 10 incite false
.,ss Or 70 produce false impressonsno wish 70 lu
friends into a Of fatal security wien the note Of
alarm should be boldly and repeatedly sounded but after
careful survey Of the ground and careful perusAl Of
s,yhing calculated throw light upon the real state
n public feeling and public sentiment in these States We can
ys At no other conclusion than that the eleven electoral
votes Of Illinois and the thirteen electoral votes Of lnd
ana will be cast for Buchanan and Breckenridge beyond
an peradventure. We aware TO use homsy German
saving that paper refuses ink and that the pre-
acions and calculations freely put forth during q
presidential canvass have frequently their origin in wishes
and not expectations and is therefore with Uome hesA
ian that we give expression positive belief in such
positive terms.
Rut We are not alone IN the employment Of such une
ouiyoca language in regard to the Of Illinois and In
diana That confidence is faly shared BY the public men
and he public press of both States and is based upon the
feeling sentiment and action of their people in their con-
yentons their primary assembages, and their mighty
mass meetings HWe favored yesterday" says the
Cincinnati Enquirer Of tbs l6h with interview from
veteran democrat OF this city, who has spent some time
lately in travelling through the State Of Illinois Our in
forant took particular pains to ascertain public senti-
rnent on the presidential question, and he is convinced
from manifestations that be saw that the State will vote
for James Buchanan by ! handsome majority. In that
yart Of the State called Egypt the people nearly
imous in his favor Senator Douglas, Col Richardson
and other leading democrats perfectly sanguine Of the
Stateh
As further evidence Of how the contest going in Hi
nos we take the following from the last number Of the
Qsncy Herald one Of the reliable and best demo-
cratic papers in the State. The Herald says
in the present contest the democracy Of Illinois are
thoroughly and efficiently organized and
wheming triumph the foe just
crown their efforts in November the rise and
on the dry Of election. Mr. Buchanans majority Ere
mont win be larger than any before given the
Col Richardson's majority Bsse will exceed that
before given any candidate for governor OF Illinois and
we shall makea clear gain Of three and probably vs
bers Of Congress- besides securing large majority the
legislature. In these convictions cannot be mistaken
The signs are right.
There is not an abolition know-nohing in the whole
State Of Iinois-not one, If you can-that will
hazard dollar to back his ridiculous boast that the
mics Of the democracy viii carry the State. This sig
n6cant fact If they really believe what they say-i they
really entertain skeleton of hope that they will carry the
State-they wouldn't hetae bully and buster
about it, oih cash sg But they know in their hearts
there hope for Illinois they indications that
deceive that the State for Buchanan Richardson
BY larger majority than before and in their defeat
here they snuff disaster throughout the Union and
all hope Of in the presidential Toour demo-
cratic friends out of the State, well those it,
say unhestatngy bet your last dollar oursef stand
ready do that Illinois will 20 for old Buck Here we can
get no bets Of this kind"
From Indiana oil advoes, public and private are
equally as decided and encouraging The Cincinnati En-
quirer says:
An intelligent gentleman in Lafayette sends the fol-
lowing letter shout the prospect in Indiana II agrees with
what get from other sources and believe II viii be re-
allied BY resulp Here itis:
