be the same. We are assured by intel-
gent correspondents, in whose judgment
and correctness we have every reason to
confde. that Pennsylvania will unques-
lionably 60 against Jackson, both at the
State and General elections. The pro-
ceedings Of the great meeting of natural
lied Irishmen:--the secession of the
Pennsy ylvania Inquirer, and several 9TH
er important papers:-the public renun-
Citations Of many persons of consequence:
confirm these anticipations, which were
rendered probable in themselves by the
course Of the administration. General
Jackson may have hattered himself-in
the iniatuation Of wholly unmerited tri-
umph-that there was something magical
in his name and popularity that would
"stand any thing" But there is, after
all, very little magic in this matter-of-
fact world; and when the General UNDER
took to counteract all the plans g. strike
death-blows at all the interests of Penn
sylvania, it was really not unnatural to
expect that Pennsylvania would take the
bit between her teeth.
Should oul expectations in regard to
these two great States be realized, we
confess that we shall hail their return to
good principles with peculiar satisfaction
independently Of its effect upon the
present election--as cheering indica-
ton Of the praclicability Of our institu-
tins. The great states, and especially
those which include our most populous
cities, are the parts Of our territory in
which our system is most severely tried
and where the tendency to anarchy, the
chief danger to which we are exposed, i.
most imminent. If we find in those
quarters that after temporary abcra.
ton, the ascendancy Of good principles is
restored by the natural operation of the
government, and without the interven.
ton Of convulsions, we may conclude
that our constitution has within it a prin.
ciple of durability, and will weather with.
out difficulty the various shocks which
in common with every other, it must o.
course encounter.
The success Of the Jackson candidate
for Governor in Kentucky is the only un
favorable event that has recently occur
red; but this, considered as an indie catiol
of tho probable vote on the Presidential
question, is neutralized by the success o
the National Republican tickets for 1t
Governor and for the Legislature, where
we have a handsome majority. The
failure Of Buckner is attributed, no doub
correctly, to causes independent Of poll
tics: and there cannot be a question tha
the vote of the state will be given to Mr.
Clay. Indiana has been boldly claime'
by the Globe for Gen. Jackson; but tn
last accounts assure US that there is de
cided National Republican majority
the Legislature, and that the vote Of tn
state will certainly be given to Mr.. Clay
Alabama, from the last accounts, appear
to be added to the anti-J ackson states.
Such being the state ofthings through
out the country, we feel ourselves at
thorized to repeat, that the prospect {
defeating the reelection Of Jackson is
with proper exertion--exceedingly fi
vorable. We have no motive for excl
ing false hopes, but we think it Mnportar
that the circumstances which promise
good result should be distinctly knowr
because the tendency Of such knowledg
is to rouse to eXertion. Great exertio
will be necessary. The retainers Of tn
corrupt cabal who are now in possessio
Of the Government will strain evel
nerve to the utmost; they know that I'll
struggle is with them one for life ar
death. But the battle is clearly again
them: and if the adher rents of the goo
cause maintain with spirit and vigor tE
positions they now occupy--as we cal
not doubt they will--they will certainl
carry the day, and achieve by far ii
most glorious and important political TT
umph, that has yet been obtained und'
the present constitution.
