A prominent democrat, who was in our Office yes
terday brings good news from sister State Of
Indiana. He enjoys good opportunity Of beng
well informed, and is thoroughly acquainted with
the political movements that are the taps, and
the elements that will into the ensuing contest
He is sanguine from all that be can learn, and from
the present appearance Of things that the democratic
State ticket viii be elected by larger majority than
it was in 1856, and that We shall choose quite as
many members OF Congress as we did then There
is an excellent chance Of supersedng the republican
member Of Congress in the h district by demo-
crat. Davis, the renegade dem JcHa who is running
against Secrest for Congress, in the district be
is confident will be badly beaten. Hovey will share
the ame fate the lst district. English will,
doubtless be re nominatcd aud re elected and also
Hughes ia The Sd, despite the desperate efforts
which are being made 10 defeat bin. The Indiana
democracy are aroused. and are preparing TO give
good account Of themselves. Indiana IS = very re-
liable democratic STATE. having never since 1880,

cratic party. She contributed largely 10 the cleo
tion of Mr.. Buchanan for President, BY choosing
Willard GOVernar in October, 1856, which, with the
sUspieiOus result in Pennsylvania, at the same time,
virtually settled the contest, and made the pres>
Dental vote a mere fJrmalify It will rejoice our
democratic friends all over the Union to hear that
our friends there are confident Of maintaining in The
future, the laurels they have won ia tAe past.
