THE CONSERVATIVES OF PENNSYL-
VANIA-THE ELECTION.

We beg leave, most respectfully to pro-
pound one question to our Conservative friends
in Pennsylvania, and to request them to weigh
well its import. If the Conservatives have
been compelled, from sense Of duty, to
abandon Mr.. Van Buren, in consequence Of
his adoption Of the Sub-treasury scheme and
its concomtants, how can they support the
election of Gen. Porter for Governor, when
they have every reasonable assurance that he
is friendly to this measure, and will, in the
event of his election, use his whole influence
to insure its SUGGEST Can they forgive in
Gen. Porter, what they have SO signally con-
demned in Mr.. Van Buren,! The Conserva-
tives should remember that Mr.. Van Buren,
has said through his organ, that the fate of
his administration depends on the success Of
the Sub-treasury, and that he will sink or
swim with it. 1t is therefore not abandoned,
though studiously kept out of sight, to the
nursery canticle: Hush my babe, lie still
and slumber," and the approaching elections
will be made subservient to this fatal mea-
sure! Should it succeed, the fate of the
Conservatives may be read in the proscrip-
tive course of the Globe in relation to them,
and in the recently recorded denuncia,ions Of
Mr. Henry Horn, in the following memorable
words:
II "Iesolued, That the delegates of this ward
be- and they are hereby instructed not to place in
nomination for any office, the name Of single ndi
vidual who is connected with any bank or banking
institution either director, stockhoder or borrow
err or who is liable to the suspicion of conservatism
which is only another name for federalism"
For ourselves we declare, that we would
not support for office the dearest friend we
have on earth, if we believed he would use
the influence of that Office to promote the sue
cess of the Sub-treasury, and we should find
our justification in the paramount duties that
every man owes his country. TO our Con-
servative friends we say, let discretion save
them from fatal inconsis,ency-save them
from the anguish Of an error Of which they
may feel ashamed" and the "remorse which
comes too late"

not the author of the assault that branch of ser
vice, over which he presides.

BETTING ON ELECTIONS. is an old maxim that
:" a wager is fools argument" and such we think
it will practically prove to those who bet in favor of
Porter's election in Pennsylvania. The bet offs 900,
offered in this paper. some time since, by Loco
foco ii is proper to-say, is taken up.
In passing through Philadelphia, the other day,
we heard bet offered of 10 to l. in favor of Ritner.

But to the Enquirer :

"Tuckahoe's communication addressed to the
People Of Vrenia--snd when he told them, that they
We're abandoned by the Press" &c. &c.-ln terms so
general as that they may be supposed TO embrace this
press, we thought due TO ourselves, ss well as to the
public, to notice it have done II Is now due to
the Globe always courteous, always liberal towards us,
on more than occasion awarding Us much more
merit than deserve, thank for It's explanation"
We canuot hut admire the true Christian
forbearance displayed by the editor Of the
Enquirer. II was one Of the divine commands,
that, {" If man smite thee on one cheek, turn
to him the other" Our friend does more.
The Globe, through its columns, gives him
blow over the head with the club Of Hercules.
The veteran CRASHES his teeth. The Globe
pats him on the cheeks and he, forgetting
the wound, kisses the hand that scourged
him, and talks Of too much courtesy having
been extended to him more merit awarded
him than he deserved, and remains thankful
for the last, until he gets another eastigation!
We pray to be preserved from such sac
complished friends" as all these.

MAINE ELECTION.

The general election for State officers and federal
representatives, took place in Maine on Monday
last. Both parties have exhibited in the contest
extraordinary degree Of spirit and exertion, and the
ultimate general result is yet doub full. The parties
were nearly balanced last year; Kent having been
elected but by small majority and there was little
reason to expect any material change since the vote
of last fall, unless something was calculated upon
from the moral influence Of the late results in other
States We have returns from most Of the towns of
four countess Cumberland York, Kennebec, and
Lincoln Cumberland District now represented by
Mr. F. 0. J. Smith, has been for many years the
Jackson Van Buren, strong hold, but was reduced to
doubtful character by the vote Of lastyear 1t seems
still to be balanced and no choice of Congressman
has probably been made. Nathan Clifford, (Adm,)
is elected to Congress in York.

reasoning.
The opening article Of this anomalous periodical,
and of which we have been speaking, is headed,

Treasury tras not rotcd docn and could not be tocd

which amounted to nothing at last for it did not
form the basis of any legislative action, in conse-
quence of its coming suddenly up when the oppos-
ion were all unguarded and many absent, owed its
success to that accidental circumstance. We know
thar two members who would have voted against it,
were standing in the Post Office, at the time, uncon-
scious Of what was passing inside and others, who,
in the hurry of the moment, answered az rather
from the force of habit OF voting with the party than
any desire to sanction the resolution would have
voted against il, and did vote against it, under other
circumstances The best REPUTATION OF all this claim
is, that his principle and every essential princi-
pie" Of the Sub Treasury Bill was SO repugnant to
the sense OF the House. that it was directly voted
dcwn on fire different occasions, in all its guises.
