early been so favorable to the Democracy OF the coaI
try as to-day. IN whatever direction we turn, th
voice of hope and words of feheer greet us. The pee
pie already begin to take courage for the future Den
oeratc gatherings everywhere are large and enthus
astic while Radical are small and spritless. Th
1 whole party seems smtten with the weight of gull
i which is upon its leaders.
4 INDIANA AND ILLINoIs.-In Indiana and Illinois, ou
friends at work nobly and energetcaly for the
dempton of those States from the stigma of Radical
ism. Hendricks and others on the stump, and ar
enthusiastically received in every part of the ore
State; while Eden and host of able speakers arr
working with determination in Illinois, and are by nj
means without hope of carrying the State notwith

these States except Iowa. and in that our friends
not without hope. The popular changes have been

public meetings. The tide of enthusiasm and popular
feeling is all on the Democratic side.

are doing battle most gallantly. The Nutmeg State
land where will you find greater is going to fully
maintain its position in the Democratic fold while n
New Hampshire the hardy Democracy are laborng ar

That they may succeed is by no means improbable
DELAWARE AND Observation-Disclosures as usual, is
sure for Democratic majority Maryland stands side
by side with her sister State, and will roll up large
Democratic majority.
Union sentiments of the people gaining strength,
and their supporters are daily organising meetings in
numbers. There is reason to be encouraged with
hope that Notwithstanding the schemes and villanies
of the Congressional Qnirks, Gammons and Snaps in
behalf Of the Titmonse satraps, we shall have good
account of the in which the battle of the Un
