We have not tho full returns from all.parts of the State, but it is confidently assumed that Mr. Wright's majority is increased beyond the number he obtained over Mr. MATBOX, in 1849, which was 9,788. Wo suppose the majority will be some 12 or 15,000 votes.
Wo have two whigs in the balance of the present Congress in the next, we shall have one only—Mr. l'arker, of the Richmond District. All the balance of the districts have gone against the whig*, making the Congressional delegation stand ten to one. The election of Miller, .English, Dunham, Lane, Hendricks, Davis, Mace, Eddy, Chamberlain, and Harlan, all democrats, is admitted, leaving us only Mr. Parker as a "nest egg" to rely on for the future. Tho majority of Mr. Davis in this district, is supposed to be about 1,500 votes^ though at one time, wo hear ho was awfully alarmed about his prospects. Tho democratic State ticket entire, will bo elected by a majority not far behind the Governor's vote.
In this part, of thu State tho whigs haTO gained several members of tho House, and two Senators, Combs, of Clay, and Simpson, of Parke. D. H. Eckels, of this circuit., is also beaten forjudge, pretty largely by Mr. Hughes, of Bloomington. Those are tho only crumbs left to comfort those who feel sorry for tho general result in the State.
THE STATE ELECTION. Yet these and similar arguments equally unIn(liana seems to be wedded to her idols, and true nnd fallacious are employed by our demowill take her own course, regardless of the fa-J cratic friends to encourage the timid and therly care her patriotic whig citizens have forj mislead the unsuspicious. But the Macedonihor. The more Joseph A. Wright runs forj an cry, "I am a democrat, hut I will vote for Governor, the more he cannot be beaten, and Oen. Seott," is too universal to dream of anythe whigs may as well lay on their arms until jj,»ng short of a triumphant victory. The nosaid gentleman is satisfied to retire from the
field and leave tl.e race to others. Of course,|
prudent whigs never thought of posilire success in the late race, though sanguine members of' the whig party entertained sotno hopes upon tho subject. The party owe much to Mr. MCCARTY for engaging in a contest which promised so little in the beginning, and at some future day, they should not forget to reward him. Wo know it was much against his feelings to make the race, and lie only entered it by the urgent solicitations of many warm whig friends.
We do not know what consolation to offer a majority of our readers it is idle to indulge in vain or useless regrets. Our motto is, when one kuows ho is right, to fight on—fight ever, and trust to the coming of a fairer day. We havs another contest near at hand, when we shall bo lod by another chieftain, oue who has seldom known defeat, aud one whom all true Americans must delight to honor. Be ready for that conflict do your duty to that leader, to yourselves and to tfie country, and leave tho result to tho fortune of war. The people stood up manfully in defence of Jackson, of Harrison nnd Taylor, and we think they can hardly do less for Scorr, who stands as fair before tho American people, a* either of the foregoing, who have occupied the Presidential chair. Be ready for the 'id of November throw vain regrets away, aud we shall yet brush the dark clouds from our horiaou and lot iu the bright rays from tho sun light of correct principles and good government
Returns for Senator.
The following is the vote for State Seu&tor, from the counties of Vigo, Sullivan and Clay, from which it will be seen that Michael Combs, (whig,) of Clay county is elected:

(Vtub's majority 67 When it i# recollected that this district is from five t« seveu hundred votes against the whig*, the above may be considered a taU race for Mr. Oomb.v We presume Mr. Ouokerly will consider himself laid upon the shelf for many years to come. His party have mean ureably repudiated him, and that too at a time when democratic service! were most needed.— This is too hard to bear patieutly, but we suppose Mr C. will liAVc to take It.

But* Election and Sign* of the Timet. Oar State has again witnessed another gubernatorial election. The free sovereigns of Indiana bj virtue of the elective franchise so wisely guaranteed to her citizens by the constitution, have again chosea their Governor and officers of State. The remit, although far from being in harmony with our anticipations is by no means an argument from which our adversaries may deduce the conclusion that Indiana is irredeemably mid. The election of Governor no more proves the true strength of a particular party, than the promotion of men to each and all the county offices, indicates the prevailing party in their respective localities.— Local causes and sectional influences, independent of party organisation, will and must Exercise their legitimate sway in such elections. In the re-election of Gov. Wright we see nothing, there can be nothing, to frighten the whigs of Indiana from the Presidential contest. The present positions of the two great political parties exhibited by the recent election i# no criterion by which we may safely judge of their future triumph or defeat.— Because Indiana has chosen a democratic Governor, does not argue that she will go for Gen. Pierce—because the enemy are victorious now, is no reason that they will be triumphant in November next—because Indiana has elected Joseph A. Wright, it does not necessarily and unavoidably follow as a legitimate sequence that Franklin Pierce will the next President.

But Mr. Hughes, the "disorganizer" is probbly olected, and what will the Journal tell the people? Will it lecture them for sustaining disorganizes? Hero is another case which the Journal will manage to stave off without telling voters frankly what a very great enormity they have perpetrated. The editor can abuse Mr. H. for boing a candidate, but will not arraign and abuse those who supported him. This, he might think was "running it into the ground," though indeed, Mr. H. is no worse a man than those who sustained his claims for the Judgeship. Notwithstanding all that may bo done for the Journal it will put itself into a fix.
Vioo COUNTY FAIR.—The Fair for this county was held at thu Court-House on Saturday last. It was very well attended by agricultur al men, but they failed to bring forward much for exhibition. It seemed they could not take that tnuch interest or trouble to promote the most important of all sciences—one iu which they have a direct interest, and in which all classes of society depend for life. It is singular that such apathy prevails in Vigo, upon this, the greatest branch of all industrial pursuits.
We presume the association will publish a list of the premiums, which will show the extent of this exhibition. Frederick Marklc presented the largest cabbage heads we ever saw, and said he had plenty more of the same sort. A fine sample of sweet-potatoes were also exhibited, the owner of which we did not hear. R. St. John had some fine saddlery present there was also some good pork barrels, Ac.— No butter, no jeans or liusey or carpets or blankets, nor cheese, no boots, shoes or hats— pretty muck no nothing.
S. B. Gookins made an address at the close, which we understand is to be published. We hope tho next af fair will bring out more of evefy thing made in the county.

to think of defeat. In the east, the west, the north and the south are found the monuments of his towering greatness, which thunder home to men the matchless name of their honored architect. In vain are the foul arts of calumny and reproach hurled at the venerable head of this worthy champion. In vain do partisan pretenders attempt to traduce his name r,.id spotless fame. The signs of the times abroad are prophetic of a certain victory to our gallant leader. Men of the west whigs of Indiana, with such prospects before you of ultimate success as each successive day reveals, how can you hesitate to buckle on tho armor of whig faith and go forth to battle in your praiseworthy enterprise. Let each and every whig resolve, icill, and proud Indiaua may yet bo redeemed from the depths of democratic thraldom. j. IT
O* The Journal puts down Mr. HVQIIES as a "disorganizer," because he ran against Mr. Eckels, who was nominated by a convention. Let us see how this will work. Judge Kinney ran against the nominee of a convention, and was supported by tho Journal will the editor also call Judge K. a disorganizer? Certainly not, because this will be considered a very different case, although precisely similar, except the candidates belonged to different parties.

ONE DIME TO THE MEMORY OF WASHINGTON. It has been suggested by the Press generally, that a box be placed at the polls on the 2d of November, in which all disposed may place a small donation to be appropriated towards completing the NATIONAL WASHINGTON MONUMENT now building at Washington city. It is a good suggestion, as that National work lingers along too slowly, for the want of means to prosecute it. Such a noble work to the memory of so great and so good a man ought not to languish for the want of means.
We are authorized to say, that a box for the above purpose will be placed at the polls in this place on Tuesday, Nov. 2d, for the above purpose, and a committee will promptly remit to Washington, all donations that may be placed therein, for the noble purpose above contemplated. Mr. John H. Barr will prepare and mark the box, and it is hoped that every voter who enjoys the inestimable right of suffrage, may feel it to be a glorious privilege to be enabled to contribute something to the glory of the "Father of his country." Eveiy voter should contribute at least a dime,or as much more (a small amount) as he may think proper. O* Remember GEORGE W ASH1NGTON.

Free Soil Movements.
„A. L. Robinson, a respectable citizen of Vanderburgh, and who had received the nomination of the Free Soil party as a candidate for Governor, attempted a speech at this place on Monday night last, but had not proceeded far before he was so much interrupted by missiles, noise and confusion, etc., as to make him give up his speech. A very large portion of the audicnco wished to bear the speech, and gentlemen present made efforts to preserve order, but without effect. Mr. R. stated that he had made similar speeches iu Evansville, New Albany, Madison, Lavrcnceburgh, and other parts of the State, but this was the^rsl tinu he had been interrupted. The Court-Houso was pretty well filled with our citizens, the Sheriff was present and commanded the peace, the Marshal was also present, but Mr. R. closed about 8 o'clock, and the audience went home.
We believe nothing of this kind has ever happened before in Terre-Haute, and this is a stain which we feel persuaded all will be sorry for hereafter. Iu a free country, no gag-law should be permitted. Free speech is too dear a right to resign quietly, under any circumstances. However much we deprecate the opening of questions which have already disturbed the peace of the Union, from the centre to the circumference, and as much as we may question the taste which relishes the discussion of slavery iu thit country, where wo have noue of it, we still stand opposed to public disturbances of this kind, where no one need attend

If these are permitted to be trampled under foot, free speech, the freedom of the press, and individual and public liberty will soon sink to a common grave. We are strongly opposed to slavery agitation let tbe peculiar institution be managed by the States where it exists, but if in this country, people will go to hear such lectures, they should be protected in their undoubted rights. We never go to hear a speech, without we think we shall be able to listen quietly, being willing to combat what we may hear, at some other time or place. If we cant do this, we stay at home. &

PAUL, MINNESOTA TERRITORY, Oct. 8th, 1852. S
Friend Donaldson:—f.A In my last I gave yon an account of the Minnesota river and country above. Perhaps a general view of the Territory, with all its advantages, disadvantages, Ac., would not be unacceptable^
HISTORY.
It was organized in 1849 a Governor, Secretary, and three Judges appointed, who all proved to be of the right stripe, except the Secretary, who was removed, and his place filled by a most worthy citizen, Capt. Wilkins.— Judge Goodrich was also removed, but without any cause known to us. For talent, tact, and firmness, our bar and bench will compare with those of most of the Stales.
Most of the offices are filled by the people, who bold their election on the second Tuesday in October, annually. Sheriffs, Counsellors, Magistrates,and Constables are elected for two years Clerks appointed by the Judges Representatives, annually—the votes are by ballot. The materials for representatives, however those selected have as yet been mostly of a second rate class, being thought more available, I suppose. Our political character is generally considered democratic though, the whigs have succeeded in getting a majority, I believe, every year in both houses. We also havea Judge of Probate, who holds his office two years, aud is elected by the people—he has a clerk, appointed by himself.
As respects our "code of laws," the Governor told me some time since, that they cannot
be, or are not_ surpassed by any State in the 90S 904 'Union.' f- 'I,,, 7, RELIGION.
At the tim# of our organization?* there was no church, no minister nor house of worship, except a small log building, occupied by the Catholics. Now the scene is altogether changed. There is one Methodist., one Baptist, one Presbyterian, (New School) and one Old School now under contract, one German Methodist all of which will compare well with thechurchcs in Terre-Haute but the Methodist, which is not quite so large as the one in your town. The congregations are of respectable sise, and make as good an appearance as those in any of your towns. The ministers are hard to beat in any country—they are principally sustained yet by the different Home Missionary Societies. ?v SCHOOLS
Are sustained mostly by a direct tax on the different Districts though partly by a fund set apart for that purpose from the county revenue. Congress has granted the 36tli sec tion iu addition to the sixteenth, for school purposes but as we are only a Territory and not entitled to vote for Scott, neither are we entitled to the benefits of the school lands until we become of age. But the character of our citizens may be known, by the interest they feel in tho support of four good schools six months in the year, by direct taxation.
And another evidence of their standing may be inferred from their firm stand in the great cause of
TEMPERANCE
As I have so often spoken of this movement of our people, that little more need be said now, only that we not only succeeded in pass ing the law but we are as much determined to see that it is enforced and for the purpose a regular military company, composed of the right kind of men, has been organized, and are now prepared to execute the law whenever resistance is made.
Whig and Democrat, seem to be only secon dary terms now, and the question is, is be a thorough temperance roan
AGRICULTURE
May next claim our attention, as it iS the most important feature, belonging to our Territory. The land in the immediate vicinity of St. Paul is poor and broken, extending in a N E. direction some 8 or 10 miles, though ma ny beautiful lakes and never-failing streams, and some good mill sites though no timber to saw. After we get 12 or 1-1 miles in an eastern direction, we find rich prairies and more timber, but not enough this extends down to Point Douglas, at the mouth of the St.. Croix river, and includes a large portion of thecoun try between the two rivers,
The land is really beautiful along up the Mississippi most of tho way for 200 miles North, and some fine farms are already made and all kinds of western produce raised in abundance, This information I received from gentlemen residing in, and visiting that region.
Between the Mississippi and Minnesota riv ers the land is rich—large prairies, yet plenty of timber for farming purposes—up the Min nesota, I think it is unsurpassed by any of the adjoining States water is furnished mostly by lakes, of which there are a great many some large, others again would probably be more appropriately called ponds—the water in all, I think, is clear, cool, and pure.
Choice locations can now be had and claims made, and improved, and many will no doubt be worth 10, 15, or 20 dollars an acre, the very day it is bought at $1,25
COMMERCIAL FACILITIES. We can safely say that our commercial facilities equal that of most of the States we have about 300 miles of the Mississippi below this, navigable for fine large packets, arid one hundred more above the falls, which is navigated by one small boat, and above Sauk Rapid* it is said boats will ultimately be built, which will run 200 miles further up. The Minnesota is navigable near 200 miles, with one considerable rapid about 30 miles from tbe mouth.— There are many snags and logs in the way though there has been no accident on this river yet it is very crooked and but little current, in ordinary stages*'* A
The St. Croix is regularly navigated^ or 30 miles, which is. more properly, a lake that far, with little or no current perceptible. Up this river is an abundance of pine, which will supply our lumber men for centuries.
Raro river, 30 miles above the falTs, now supplies all the logs «sed at the falls and this place.
Steam Beats still make their weekly tnps, but not without much difficulty—we have three mails a week by the river. Lumber is becoming more plenty, though there is but very little, if any, seasonal, to be bad, such is tbe demand—the prices range from $10 to $18 a 1009 weather boards $15,00.
INDIANS.

-he Minna«ta
I stae these facts that
farmers may see what inducements there are, for coming to this country, and the prospects of a good price for all they caa raise*
The information I have given you has been obtained from most reliable sources, and from personal observation. When exploring the Minnesota, I was, among others, accompanied by an old farmer of 30 or 40 years experience who says he thinks no portion of Indiana, Illinois or Kentucky, equals this valley for farmings Along old Indfan trails, and near villages, we see fine blue grass, as large and thrifty as it usually grows in other countries.

Congress—Barbour, 324 Davis, 824. Circuit Judge—Eckles, 476 Hughes, 70.). State Senator—Combs, 662 Cookerly, 499. Dnnlavy is elected Representative, Pinckley, Clerk Riddle. Recorder Laven, Sheriff Conaway, whig, Treasurer Grimes, (w) and Puckett, Commissioners Peyton, (w) Surveyor.
In Washington township, Capt. Osborn beat his opponent largely, 229 to 153. This shows very commendable home popularity. Dunlavy was the re-location candidate fur Representative, which question absorbed all others in the contest. *4 -T-

In the two great Presidential contests which resulted favorably for our Whig opponents, the people were deluded by a false enthusiasm for military renown, and there is no doubt that the ScoW lesders calculated largely upon getting up an excitement in favor of their candidate by a similar resort-—Journal.
In the Presidential contest which resulted in the defeat of Mr. Clay our opponents were deluded by the cry of "Young Hickory." and the Pierce leaders are now trying to get up a similar delusion in favor of the man who baa always opposed western interests, As Mr. Polk waa measurably unknown and succeeded, our opponents are trying the same trick with a -'greater unknown," and with less capital, ho ping for tbe same lack upon less material to secure success. The same trick seldom sue eeeds twice, once generally suffices. Harrison slew tbe great Van Bores, the magician of the north Taylor vanquished the greater Cass who Jinked his sword in a stamp. If Scott, a greater than either victor, canoot put to route a less than either of tbe vanquished, we shall think the world is going by contraries, and be surprised at nothing. But we apprehend no danger. The case is Seott eortss Pierce, before a jory of the people. One has spent 40 years in the public service, comieg out as bright s* a diamond. The other 15 ves in New Hampshire west to Congress and Mexico, and left so trace of greatness behind bio. Ver&et—fcr iepice* a-.d merit, Seott eheoye nittorbv*.
