PENNSYLVANIA.
We rive brlow IN exhibit Of the results as far rs re-
cciyed from Pennsylvania. 1t will be seen that there is
mot 4 remnant ut hope left 10 the Opposition. We are
informed BY 4 gentleman Of undoubted veracity, who
had mingled in all the circles of Philadelphia, that the
Opposition were so conscious OF the utter impotence of
their struggle, that they laugted at it themselves as lu-
dicrona. and Biidle himself has said he was ready TO
Hing up-the idea of resisting such an overwhelming
expression of public opinion being absolutely vain; yet
the Intcliigcncer does not see that the probability OF the
success of his party is at all diminished ! Does the
editor suppose that there is Il man Of the slightest intel
ligencc. who believes that he believes himself:

tanned by the Opposition, all have been carried by d.
unfinished maiorities, save in Philadelphia.
In the Allegheny district, carried by Bi1dle's brother,
former Opposition IMPURITIES, sometimes going beyond
100, is reduced, as TO member OF Congress. to $50 and
tlc minority carried the other way Tor members OF AS
scmbly.
The same thing has happened in Mr.. MKennan's dis.
trict; and in AIorris's, which the Opposition have barely
secured by i mragre majority for the present %incumbcnts
in Congress, but have lost in both Congressional dis.
1ricts their members of the Assembly.
OF the eight Senators elected in the eight Senatorial
districts. gerrymandcrcd al the late called session Of the
Legislature, to secure them all to the Opposition, they
have not, VIC believe, succeeded in one.
OF the lower House, there is not the least probability
that they will have over one-third.
OF their Congressional districts, they have lost the
two they most relied on, viz: that of the seat Of Govern
,ncnt, aud That of Adams and Franklin, and their strength
is greatly reduced in others.
In the Democratic district, there has been a great
gain Of the popular vote. In Buchanan's, they ran no

againt the regular nomination. In Sutlerland's they did
The same thing, and also in Beaumont's, and were de-
teated, nevertheless, in al.-GiOJc.

Pennsylvania Scnatc.-Eight members of this body
arc chosen annually, and 1t is 4 significant sign oil the
times 10 find that of the eight this year the friends of
Van Buren, have elected all! Yet the Senate in its out
rageous proceedings last winter pretended TO represent
popular opinion.
CoLuMBA CouSrY.-Pctriken, the Democratic can.
didate for Congress, has a majority over MIR. Reynolds
of $50. Frailey, for Senate, majority over Scitzingrr,

Bucks CorSrY.-ln addition to the glorious victory
the Democrats Of Bucks county have achieved, in re-
clecling their Senator, General Rogers, and the whole
Assembly ticket, they have also elected Sellers their She,
riff, by II majority.
Mir Morris. the present member, is reelected to Con-
7 gross by a small majority-173; his majority in 1884 was
over 800.
Mr.. Ruckman, the Democratic candidate for Congress,
was brought out at Il very late period, and a general i'm
preston prevailed that he could not succeed, or he would
have been elected.

ESQ. TO the Stale Legislature. Benjamin Woodruff was
elected Sheriff by q majority of ~ votes over r. ii.
