The Crisis ut hand !

The choice of ELEcToRs Of President
and Vice President Of the u. S. will
take place TOMORROW Friday, Nov.
4th) in the great States Of fPESNsyLvASiA
and ONO. We need not say, that the
result in the first named State IL looked
for, both by Wings and Tories, with no
little anxiety. On MONDAY following,
NOV. 7th) Electors will be chosen in
Maine, New Hampshire, Connecticut,
Delaware, Virginia, Georgia, Mississip-
pi, Louisiana, Kentucky, Indiana, Hin.
ois, Missouri, Mary land, and Alabama.
In New York, the polls for Electors and
officers of the State government continue
open three days, commencing on Mon
DAY, the 9TH inst. The day following,
TUESDAY, Nov. 8,h) Electors nre cho-
sen in Vermont, and on MONDAY, the
9TH inst. in Massac chusetts. Rhode Is
land elects on WEDNESDAY, the 18th
inst; New Jersey, on the 18th and 18th;
North Carolina and Tennessee on the
l7th Of this month. ii will be seen,
therefore, that the States, which probably
hold in their hands the decision Of the
contest now pending-the most important
this country has ever witnessed-nearly
all vote on one day, viz. on MONDAY
NEXT, the 7th inst. The result, in all
its parts, Gun scarcely be known here by
the 10th inst, but enough probably to de-
termine its complexion with sufficient
certainly. In connection with this we
submit the following article, in reference
to Ohio and Pennsylvania, from the
National lntelIigencer Of Saturday last.
God send, that its patriotic and confident
predictions may be realized to the letter,
in every debateable State!
From the National In,eIIigen er Of n urdny last.
OHIO AND PENNSYLVANIA.
These two powerful States lead off in the
great contest which is now soon To decide the
fate Of the Union for veal or wo. The cleo
ton Of Presidential Electors takes place in
both Of them on Friday next, the 4th Of Mo-
vember. In the first named of these States
an arduous struggle has just terminated, and
resulted in the signal triumph Of the friends
of the Constitution and the opposers of offic-
ial dictation. In that contest the Wings of
Ohio discharged their duty nobly; aud the
victory which crowned their efforts gives as-
surance not only Of their own success in the
approaching struggle, but it has cheered aud
animated their brethren throughout the ianc
above all, has given fresh vigor to the hopcs
Of the patriots OF Pennsylvania, and is hailed
as the presage Of victory in that great COM
monwealth. The power arrayed against them
there and every where, by the Government,
it is true, is great. The influence Of office,
and the use Of the public treasure, give to the
office hoders,we know, AN immense advantage.
They fight for the spois, and fight as men
having every thing at stake; but the ndepen
ent voice OF the country is against .hem-de-
cided'y against them, in our opinions; and let
that voice be but fully expressed in the COM
ing contcst-let the Wings every where re-.
pair to the polls-lct them, IN short, initiate
the zeal and determination Of their adversa-
ries-and as sure US the day comes victory
perchcs on their standard. That the Wings
much stronger than their opponents, We
have no more doubt than We have Of our own
existence; we have abundant evidence of the
fact, and could exhibit conclusive proofs of il,
were il worth the while. The returns OF tho
recent election themselves establish the fact.
The aggregate majority Of the Administration
party for members Of Congress did not exceed
S,OOO votes, and there were 10000 votes less
given than hnve been polled at former elec-
tons. Every body knows enough Of the dis
tlnctlve character Of the two parties to know
that ffths, If not nine-tcnths Of these
10000 belonged to the Wing party. There
is no cause, therefore, for dependency, nor
does it. we are happy TO say, appear to. be-
felt. On the contrary, the best spirit is manir
tested throughout the State. Conscious of
their strength, the Wings ere determin to.
put it forth, and the language Of confidence,
rings from one end OF the State " the other.
We confess we partake Of this confidence
We know that il is only necessary for the
Wings Of tho State to will il, and they GER
tainly triumph. A general rally, and the Spoils
party, with all its train Of anarchists and revo-
lutionists, are roated beyond rodemptioD.--.
Let every Wing in the Commonwealth sol.
emny adopt and faithfully act up to the two
following resolutions, proclaimed by the
Wings Of the Green Mountains, and their.
victory is sure:
"Resoiped, That we esn beat Martin Van
Buren,.
"Rssoired, That we wii beat him."
To the Polls, then. To the Polls,
