INDIANA AND ILLINOIS.
| In Indiana and Illinois our friends are at
work nobly and erergetical'y for the re-
demption of those States from the stigma
of Radcalism. Hendricks and Others are
on the stump. and are enthusiastically re-
ceived in every part of the former State
while Eden and host Of allie speakers are
working with determination in Illinois,
and are by no means without hope Of car
rying the State, notwithstanding the large
majority against US two years ago.
OHIO.
In Ohio, Pendleton, Ward. Thurman
and Others are dealing heavy blows up the
Radical front, with every prospect Of sue
cess. 1t is claimed that the change in the
GerInan vote alone. in that State, will Sc
cure its electoral vote for Seymour and
Blair.
THE NORTHWESTERN STATES.
In Iowa. Minnesota, and Wisconsin tho
battle is being We'll fought, and our friends
ATE very enthusiastic in their efforts to
place these States in the Democratic col
umn. 1t is rot at all improbable, viewing
their condition from the present stand
point, that We may receive tho victory in
all these States except Iown-and even in
that our friends are not without hope. The
popular charges have been largely in our
favor, and will continue to be so up to tho
election but whether sufficient to- over
come the enormous Radical majority of the
past, the result alone will tell:
PENNSYLVANIA.
From Pennsylvania, the keystone in the
old Democratic arch, the news is not only
good, but cheering. Our friends are san
guine Of success. They are pressing the
enemy back at every point along the whole
line, and intend that their .ront shall be
final and complete on the 81 of November.
NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY.
New York and New Jersey are conced-
ed as beyond Radical hope. fhe Democ-
racy are carrying the war into Africa" in
those States, with vengeance. In neither
OF them have the disciples Of the mum can
didate been able to secure a respectabls
number for attendance attheir public meet
| ings. The tide Of enthusiasm and popular
feelings Is all On the Democratic side:
NEW ENGLAND.
II, all New England our friends are do.

State land you will find ereater?) is going
to fully maintain its position in the Demo-
cratic fold; while in New Hampshire the
hardy Democracy are labofing ariently for
the Success Of tho "faith that is in them"
That they may succeed is by no means i'm
probable.
DELAWARE AID MARYLAND.

side with her sister State, and will roll up q
large Democratic majority.
| THE SOUTHERN STATES.
Throughout the South the Union sentl-
ments of the people are gaining strength.
and their supporters are daily organizing
meetings in numbers. There is reason.to
be encouraged with hope, that notwitli-
standing the schemessand viilainies OF tho
Congressional Quirts, Gamrnons and Snaps
in behalf of the Titmouse satrnps, we shall
have good account of the manner in
which the battle of the Union and the Con-
stitution has been once moro fought in
that portion Of the country.
rnE WESTERN STATES.
From the far Western States come the
words of cheer and the indications of sue
cess. Our friends ip California aud Ore
gon promise to "be in at the death" of Rad
icalism, and make their shouts of victory
heard east of the mountains.
| MICHIGAN,
in our own State "the work goes bravely,
on We have cheering accounts from all
sections, Our friends are, active and de-
termined, and it, the State is not redeemed
from the blight of RadicaIism which has so
long been upon. it, it win not be from the
want of energy and want Of action on the
part OF our noble.hearted Democracy
They arc making excellent local nomina-
tons, and zealously working. for their sue
cess: Let them ..iail not, falter not. weary
not in well doing"
