One of our correspondents writes US from
Indiana:
1--WE think the Republican cause is all
right now in Indiana, without a reasonable
doubt, both for the State and Presidential

ing able, in October, to elect ten out of the
eleven representatives to be elected to Con-
gross, and Republican legislature that will
send the right sort of man to the United

"TwAs ALWAYS THUs."-The Ameri-
cans of st. Louis arc very indignant at the
manner in which they have been swindled
by the Democrats. The latter cheated
them in everything They promised to

The Democrats of La Crosse, Wis, did
a noble thing the other day. The German
paper published at the place named the

Democratic party, and declared in favor of

a box containing copies of the Stern, and
carried them to convenient spot, where
they burned them. This done they brayed
in unison and went home.

SOUTH has gone over to the Breckinridgc

Express is the only authority we have seer
