THE ELECTIONS.

The ELECTIONS.
PENNsYLvANIA-Wo is certainly reelected
The "Harrisburg Reporter" of the 10Th, states his
majority at 1852. The Jackson-men have received
the news of this Victory with exultaton. 1t has in
splred them with new spirits-and they confident
OF success at the electoral election of the I'd. The
following is the printed Circular of the Executive
Republican Committee of Phladelphia
Philadelphia, Oct. Is, 1882
"SIR-Authenuc information received in the City of
Philadelphia places beyond doubt the reelection of
GEORGE OLE as Governor Of Pennsy vania, by hand
some majority This result, cheering and triumphant
for the good of Democracy Jackson ensures the
success of the Electoral Ticket, with vote immensely in
creased In the late contest political alversares
poyed all the arts they could DEVISE and all the influences
that could be impressed TO their assistance they aid
cd also, to very great extent by local preudces
and animostes, having conueXion with the n aonal
Administration The whole force of the enemy, arrayed
upon its most favorable ground has therefore been met
and dscomtted and this result the more important be-
cause II is generally conceded, that the
ner unless by majority many thousands could have
shown no change in Pennsylvania confidence in the
patriotic wisdom of Andrew Jackson.
owe hasten TO communicate this important nelligence
which must be cheering 10 every friend of our country
oil its republican existence 1t is subject of American
rejoicing not confined TO State boundaries such we
are assured that you will join hearty congratulations
"P ;. Official returns 1850 majority for Wolff
Inc other party are attempting to rally-but if
the reader recollects how the shattered ranks are
depicted by Milton in the Halls of Pandemouium
he may Judge of the desperation of the National
Republicans. About 100 of them assembled at the
adjourned Convention in Harrisburg last Monday
and they determined to drop their own ticket, and
TO adopt the Ant-Masonc Ticket-that is to saw to
abandon Clay, and TO take up Writ! And yet they
tell us III their Address that, ain making this sacri-
fce for the safety of the Constitution, let us not be
understood as abandoning our candidates Henry
Clay and John Sergeant. We do not abandon
them! We have every confidence and every rea-
sonable ground to expect they will be elected i But
we cannot sacrifice the flatterng prospect of de-
1eatlng Gen. Jackson, in his supposed strong
hold of PENNSYLVANIA Inv urpSpntnp IN otr
nents In this State, divided front"
This determination to abandon their own ticket,
was not so easily effected in the Convention. The
Baltimore Republican has "a letter from Harris
burg dated the 10th instant, which states that
There were much Earring and confusion among the
Clay men who met at that place i'm convention on
the rst of the week. TO decide upon the course to be
pursued by the party reference TO the Presidential
Election The whole of the first day was spent
without coming to any decision and finally on the
second day, after much wranglng, they determined
to support the Writ ticket; but some of the members
protested against the arrangement, and declared
ther determination TO support the jackson ticket,
and not suffer themselves TO be trafficked aWav in
such manner."-The Harrisburg Reporter saws
that the measure carried " with but few dis
sentlng voces.-Alany ofthe members ofthe convem-
ton, evidently entered into this measure with great
reluctance. One gentleman on the floor of the CON
vention stated, that he detested any thing like
connexon with polluted thing as anti-nlasonr1J!
Another gentleman stated in his place, that he view
e.
pubicansm in Pennsylvania"
The Doylestown Democrat alfirms, that " A
number OF the most rational Clay men are opposed
to this measure, and i'll Pittsburg, Northampton, and
several other places, will not support it, 1t is our
opinion that it will strike Mr.. Clay's flag uncond-
tionally, and adopt Mr. Wrt's.-lf So there can be
no doubt which way the electoral vote of the State
will CO."
The following paragraphs from the American
Sentinel shew how this new Coalition is received
IN Philadelphia and in Pittsburg:
"TRoUBLE IN THE WIGwAM-We understand, that
the anti masonic committee Ct suPsraendeace for the
city and county of Philadelphia had meeting on the 18th
inst and dsclamed all connexon with the lay party
They that their electoral ticket which has been adopt
ed by the Clay men, is pledged vote for WIN. irt.
Many OF the an'i,nason attribute the defeat OF Mr. R
ner to the iSnprdeRt address of Messrs. Randall Har-
per 20. IT is not worth while for these gentlemen TO
quarrel about their ckets-Gcnera JACKSON will beat
"em singly or combined by an immense majority.
MORE TRoUBLE.-The Statesman, the leading Clay
paper ia PittsbUrg is against Writ and saws that the
electoral ticket pledged support the latter cannot bv
P0SSibHy, De eectedThe editor of the Statesman al
though he had not heard of the doings of the National
hepubhcan Convention at Harrisburg Monday last, ap-
pears TO have been perfectly aware of their intention TO
abandon Mr. Clay. He says:
GA convention assembled Harrisburg on the 18th inst
ihen and there has doubtless been determined how the
leaders OF the National Republican party will bestow their
votes and Influence On the "a month"; the Uofeys
oil the party will act for themselves"

@ette, whose editor, we understand is High Mason,
will probably do so this morning. by authority is Bit
ter pill, but it must be swallowed.
81 he anti-maSonic candidates for President aud Vice
President, will be swept by the board in this State. Not
less than twenty-five thousand will be the majority over
WUt and EHmdker.-The democratic party is so fully
brought into action that political masonry will be an
initiated forever in this great commonwealth"
The Coalition will fail in Pennsylvania as it has
done IN Ohio, and as it will do i'm New York The
elements OF opposition cannot stick together. Mason
and Anti hlason do not cordially concur. Both par
ties have views of their own, aud both suspect each
other OF treachery. The thing cannot, will not do
depend upon it!
