INDIANA.

Our returns from Indiana, says the St. Louis Republican, leave no doubt of the Democratic in that State. They indicate that Porter and probably the whole Republican State ticket is elected. The Republicans claim the Legislature and their claim wjll probably have to be conceded. — It insures the election of a Republi-? can Senator in place of Mepunald) Democrat. It appears, too, that the Republicans gain one Congressman changing the delegation from six Democrats, six Repu licans, and one Greenbacker, to seven Republicans apd six Democrats. This sums up the whole story of the defeat, and certainly It is bad enough. The entire truth may as well be recognized and the duty which it imposes prepared for. It would be ungenerous to upbraid the Indiana Democrats for this reverse, yyjjich through them, falls on the whole party. We believe they did their whole duty; we believe, tooi Indiana is a Democratic State to-day as it was four years ago. and that the fact would have been exhibited last Tuesday but for the extravagant use of money in the State by the oppo site party, apd ft ip cheering to be told that the fact will be exhibited at the election in November, when the weight of Hancock’s good and great name thall play its full part in the contest.
