PROSPECTS IN INDIANA.
" J. c. PARSONS, esq"

In a postscript TO business letter, written a few
days ago from Indiana one CT the most prominent
lawyers of that State says that the prospects for thu
triumph of the Republican acknowledgements thera
grow brighter and brighter every day. The Demo-
Gratis of that hitherto stronghold have lost their conf
dence in the leaders Of the party and are much divided
while many of them have become converts 10 the Re-
publican cause and others show a supineness and
indifference which they care not 10 throw off, From
all parts Of the State come dings Of new accessons TO
our party and desertons from the enemy. Many
prominent Americans, too, have become disguste6
with the procedure Of the managers of the Bell Everett
party in other States and have boldly and plainly
announced their preference for "Old Abe" Of the
West over all the other candidates in the field Tbs
fact s that the farmers and mechanics Of Hooserdo
like the honesty and planness Of Mr.. Lincoln,
and admire the determination and perseverance,
which enabled him 10 rise from even the paths
which they are not ashamed 70 tread 10
the proud position to which they confident he will
soon be elevated. In the northern aud middle portions
of the State the enthusiasm for him is widespread and
glowing, and even in the southern part he Is rapidly
gaining ground; and it would be surprising II the
Republicans gained a decisive victory even in @ tbs
Pocket" which, You know, has always been a strong
hold of the Democracy. Cassius VI. Clay hss made
speech two in that portion OF the State a. least
the borders of il and he has done great deal OF
good and of the best s'uwpers in the State have
also been canvassipg the southern counties. No spot
will be left unvisited and under the inspritiDg sgns
which come to them from every hand, and their own
ardor and thorough organization, the Republicans have
eminent prospects of success
Gallant Gen. Lane is making O splendid fight, and
the enthusiasm he creates wherever he speaks eepe
cally among the young men, among whom ne is ev~
erywhere favorite is almost unbounded The energy
and spirit with which he conducts the canvass are
everywhere applauded and the candidates for other
offices are following his example noby. The speak
ing talent of the whole State is fully enlisted for the
campaign and such men as Judge Morton, Caleb Is.
Smith, Colfax, Cumbaek, Gordon Harrison Ia grand
son Of Tippecanoe), any many others, are on every
available occasion addressing their fellow citizens Of
every party on the political issues before the country
Republican meetings very frequent, and SONS
mass meetings viii be held in the course of the next
few weeks, which will equal any held in any other
State. Every town has its Club of Wide Awakes or
Rail-Sphtters, who enthusiastic intelligent and
Torking, and along the Wabash, White, whitewater
and Ohio rivers, among the prlries of the northern
part Of the State end the hills of the SOUTH and alp
through the heaviy-timbered, fertile regions of the
middle and eastern portions of the State the cause
your paper so ably advocates is steadily aud in many
places rapidly gaining ground with the masses. Tbs
success Of the State as well as the National ticket Is
considered as certain by those who are competent to-
