tests, have the indications thus early
been so favorable to the Democracy o.
the country as to-day In whatever
direction we turn, the voice of hope and
words Of cheer greet us. The people
already begin to take courage for the
future. Democratic gatherings every

Radical ones are small and spiritless
The whole party seems smitten with the
weight of guilt which is upon its leaders
INDIANA AND ILLINOIS.
In Indiana and Illinois, our friends
are at work uobly and energetically for
the redemption Of those States from the
stigma Of Radicalism. Hendricks and
/ others are on the stump, and are enthusi-
astically received in every part Of Indi-
ana, while Eden and host of able

in Illinois, and are by no means without
hope of carrying the State. notwiths

In Ohio Pendleton, Ward. Thurman,
and others, are all dealing heavy blows
upon the Radical trout, with every pros

In Iowa, Minnesota aud Wisconsin.
the battle is being we'll fought, and our
friends are very enthusiastic in their ef-

New York and New Jersey are con-
cedcd as beyond Radical hope. The De-
mocracy are carrying TIE war into At

In neither of them have the disciples of

may succeed is by no means improbable. |
DELAWARE AND MARYLAND.
Delaware, as usual, is sure for Demo-

roll up large Democratic majority.
