INDIANA AND T1truo!s
In Inlin".a and Illinois, ous friends arc ut

cry part of the fo;mcc State; while eden and
a host Of ablo speakers arc working with de-
termination in Illinois, aud arc Jy no means
without q hope Of carrying tho State, not.
withdrawing the largo majority against us

In Ohio, Pcndlcton, Ward, Thurman and
others, arc all dcn!:ny heavy blow. upon the
radical front, with every prospect Of SUCCESS

toral vote for Seymour and Blair.
THE NoRlu- WESTERN STATES.
In Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin, the
battle is being we'll fought, and our friouds
aro very enthusiastic in their efforts to place
these States III the Democratic column. It
is not ut all probable, viowing thciy condition
from, the present stand poiat thal we may rc-
ceive the victory in Ill these States, except
Iowa even in ,i.at our friends arc not
without hope. The popu':r changes have
bech largely iii our favor, and Will continue
70 be 50 UP To The election; but whether s,ili
cient to overcome The enormous radical ma
jority Of The past, the result alone will toll!

as beyond radical hope. Tho Democracy arc
"oarying the war into n frica" in shoso
oe"tol, with vengeance In neither Of them
1lavc the dcciplcs OF tho mum candidate boon
able to measure q respectable number for at-

That they may succeed, is by no means I'M
probable.
DELAWARE AND MARYLAND.
Delaware, as usual, is sure for n Democrat
10 majority. Eiaryl;:i,d stands side by side
with her sister 8 &c, an,i will roll up q ar.c
Democratic minority.
TIL SOUtIIIRN STATES.
Throughout the South tho Union sou,i.
ments of the people arc gaining strength,
and their supporters arc daily organizing meet

the Union and the Constitution has been oDcc
moro fought in that portion Of tho coun.

make their shouts Of victory heard East of the
mountains.

radlca''sm which has so long boon upon it, it
will not DO from the want of energy and want
OF action on tho part of our noble. hearted
democracy. They arc making excellent local
nominations, aud zcalously working for thoir
