This certainty that the Democratic party
has obtained a majority in both houses IL
the Legislature. has thrown . cloud over
the joy of the Union party. Forit is now
sure that the Democrats will have a ma

four 10 six votes in the II ,use. The
Governor will thus he bound hand end
foot. and must prepare for a very bitter
war with the Legislature. And this time
tho Dam ocratic lealcrs in the legislature
will curb their opposition so much the
less. As they assert firmly that the Union
party has gained It's victory in Indiana
only by the most frautlulent means.
