We, the undersigned, the Democratic State
Central Committee of Indiana with pleasure
announce to you in our official capacity, the
glorious aud important results Of the election in
Indiana, held on the 14th inst. s.. ...- rs.f.-
,TBnough of the returns have reached us from
all parts of the State to enable us to state posi-
lively that the Hor. AsHBEL P. WILLARD is
elected Governor, and Hon, A. A. HAMMOND
Lieutenant Governor, by more than SIX
THOUSAND MAJORITY; that the whole
State Ticket is elected by correspondingly
large majority-and that already we have cleo
ted SIX members Of Congress certain, and
probably eight members. The State Legisla-
turc joint ballot, will be largely Democratic.
This result is highly important in every re-.
spcct Itshows that the State is essentially
and positively Democratic, and can and will cast
her vote for BUCHANAN for President and that
the Democratic nominations for President and
Vice President willlundoubtedly succeed in No
vemher. The result Of the State election in
Pennsylvania is also most satit@ctory, and taken
in connection with Indiana, effectuolly concludes
and prostrates the prospects of the Fremont
or Abolition party, throughout the Union The
votes of Pennsy and of Indiana added to
those, Southern States which are known to
be safe for Buchanani makes the election of Bu.
chanan and iBrealinridns b fixed and settled

mains for you to perform Look to the vote of
November for President. Keep up your active
organizations. Hold meetings in your counties
and townships, and keep your people active, wide
awake, and on the alert Let no apathy exist
IN consequence of your supposed or positive
strength. Do n8trlet your enemies catch YOU
unrrepared and Sleeping at your posts when the
great election day, the first Tuesday in Noyem-
bor shall arrive. Take every voter to the polls,
and give the day to your cause and to your
country. We have won. a great victory, let Us
net lose it by Indifference or neglect. Orc
great irm,fnal rally ycomplctes the work which
we hayeso gloriously begun, and have so gallant
