JOSHUA OSBORNE, Esq State Senator from
the Loudoun District has declared his determination
TO support Mr.. Adams. The changes all over Virgil
nla are considerable. As the time approaches, the
conscienccs of men begin resume their Just empire
over the passions. Intensely engaged az the public
mind at last is, in consideration of this great question:
three months would ensure the defeat of the

.se,o Pork.-The grossest frauds are practised
upon public creduty with regard to the vote of
this State There regular system for effect main
tanned i'll the Jackson prints-a system of affected
confidence and outrageous misrepresentation. We
call attention particularly, the following observa-
tions from the Albany Chronicle of the 3Oth Septem

Up and dong.It rejoces us to know and to be able
to assure friends that in all parts of this state the
friends of the present aInin*tra are Thoroughly
organized, and zeaousy actively and efficiently cn9a
ged in the good work In parts of the state it is
true they did not enter the vineyard until the eleventh
hour hut az far vigilance and industry make u
lnen;s for delay, they will atone for it. Our triumph
although
exact extent of that triumph depends greatly upon I'M
wcaried vigilance, and unremitting assiduity We
ought not TO be, and not be- satisfied with
bare triumph: but We must make that triumph SO signal
and decisive, that 1t may long remain lessen future
dcmagogues and unprincipled MISUNDERSTANDING
them the utter hopeessness of attempting to lead the
people OF tins great state into palpablc abandonment
not only of principle but of their own interests for the
sake OF assisting to elevate to power few restless md
ambitious political asprants. We do not say to our
tricnds-contnue TO bestir yourselves and make sure
of twenty electors for they sure already: bnt wa
do say to them-eave honest means unemployed TO
make Of tcenty-sir electors by the vote of the
people; thus giving to Mr. Adams orr electoral col

such exertions as the He'oises themselves making
in behalf of their sinking and desperate there
is dti!y doing this; for with the exception of
the third the sepen, and the tre districts which
choose FIVE clectors--thcy have not another safe
district in the state. This alone shows that is very
possible to elect by the people toeyine electors for
MIR. Adams: and when much be done, il surely
is not looking for too muc-especialy with the spirit
which now prevails among the friends of the admins
traton-to expect TINT they ciH do enough to eject OF

syIrania.-Thc news from this State continues
to be highly and increasingly favorable. The PIila-
delpha Gazette, Jackson paper, yields centy of
the tytree counties in the State to the Adminstra-
ton at the coming elections and the papers from the
interior of the State speak of spreading d5may in
the Jackson ranks. The following ragraph is from
the Bucks County lntcigencer, published in inghans
district:
in ennsylvaDia the changes in favor of the Adni-
nistration have struck terror and dismay into the
Jackson ranks, and many of the oldest politicians
among calculate with great certainty on the vote
of this State for the Administration. On sAe re-

An estimate Of the votes in Bucks County in the
