of the opposition, that had expressed the opinion
that Indiana would cast her vote against the Demo-
cratic State and National tickets. never expressed
such an opinion publicly or privately, to friend or
foe; but, on the contrary, have said to all men,
and everywhere, there doubt of the result;
and that Indiana would give a large majority, both
in October and November, for the Democratic NOM
nees. My opinion is not changed. have visited
more counties than any candidate OF either party,
and assure the national men of Indiana that ma
ority of her citizens are determined that she shall
be heard, declaring herself for the Constitution and
the Union, and the Democratic State and national
nominees
And in addition, in my judgment, eight Congress
sional Districts will certainly elect Democratic Rep

hope, that the two doubtful districts will do like

1.-The dry weather, which has continued for two
months past has been most disastrous to the crops
in North Alabama. Cotton will not exceed half an
average, if as much; and corn, with the exception
of some districts blessed with occasional showers,
will prove almost a total failure-many large fields
not averaging barrel to the acre, and on thin or
exhausted land not bushel."
