hesitation in saying that RITNER will be elect

indicate the feelings of the people, they show
a most unexpected gain to the cause of the

On the first Of January, 1879, the Feteral
Treasury will owe about $9,O00t00 to tie

Will Congress again go through the farce Of

is nothing lie tie sponge for wpi1g cut

will recommend the issue of more irredeemabe

than it can collect from its new Executive ex-
actions ut the ustom-house, to pay the sala-
rles of the office holders. 1t will not collect
surplus enogh to pay even legal interest on
the $9,O00,000. Meanwhile, this economical

twelvemonth, more than $4O,OoO,oo0.-

Ohio. No returns have, as yet, been received d
The campaign has been Throughout very
spirited one, and there is no doubt but the
strength Of both parties has been fully drawn
out. The inspectors election SO far as heard
from has been favorable to the Wings, but it
is believed, that except in the large towns, lit
tie can be knownsof the true situation of the
parties by its result. This election will prove
an accurate test bfthe strength Of the two
great parties--the Van Buren,, Sub-Treasury,
and the Whig--in Pennsylvania. The old
splitting of parties-the Wolf Muhlenberg
and Anti-Masonic distinctions no longerexst,
or have but very little influence. Wolff po-
litically defnnct, and buried in the custom
house, and Muhlenberg is in Austria and for
gotten. The people Of Pennsylvania fully un-
derstand the issue, and upou it they act. There
il no fear Of the Wings Of Pennsylvania. No.
thing but want Of numbers can prevent their
success, and that they do not want in numeri-
cal strength, we most fervently hope, and most
honestly believe. They say, they will elect
Joe Ritner for their Governor, and we believe
they have done it. We believe that this cleo
ton has developed a revolution in the Key

which the last year has Witnessed in most Of

account of those labors and anxieties that are

dinary falsehood and trickery that has marked
this above all other elections that have come
under our knowledge. Falsehoods the most
bare-faced, misrepresentation the most vii
lainous, subterfuges the most shallow and
bare faced have been the matters with which
the Democratic prints have been for months
overburthened. From tile surly mastiff that
growls at the door of the sub-treasury, to the
most starvelling turnspit that barks on the
frontier--from the great Extra Statesman at
the seat of our State Government to the wishy
washy Packet on the fartermost confines of
the territoty, the most vile, blackguardsm, the
most sickening slang, the most venomous VI
tuperation, the most criminal SANDER and the
most abandonedVfals have pouredn one
everlasting flood, with an impudence equal to
that of the prince Of fallen angels himself, and
with disregard for consequences which could
only be possessed by the most abandoned of
the human race. It's over. Thank Heaven
