THURSDAY. NOV. /, 1888.

Pennsylvania notwithstanding the
large majorities which appeared in the
first returns received against the adop-
ion Of the new Constitution, it is now
confidently announced that the amend
ments have been carried BY majority OF
about twelve hundred. Some Of the
Northwestern counties gave almost an
unanimous vote for them-scarcely man
being found to rise up and bless 1.-The old
Ioof.' We are not acquainted with all
she changes made by the new Constitu
zion, but as far as we are informed of
them. they must be advantageous. One
most excellent provision is, the c1r,ail>
ment OF the enormous patronage of the
Governor-and another, the exclusion oil
negroes from the right OF suffrage
doubt not the State will gain in credit
aud character by both Of these changes.
1t was justly remarked, that, a stranger,
who might happen to read their news
papers during the late canvass, would
suppose The people Of Pennsylvania w ere
running for Governor two OF the great
est scoundrels in the commonw ea!,h
Heretofore the Governor has had in his
gilt almost every Office in the State, and
hence the bitterness and excitemen,
which have attended the election of ,ha
ofhcer. Another good effect was pre-
dicted during the canvass from the adop
ton of the new Constitution, which ~,
sincerely hope may be realized. Til,
American Sentinel Ga Van Buren, paper
declared, that, il it were adopted, tn,
State would be ..forcuer lost TO Van Bu
rem" Under this aspect of matters, W,
cannot but conclude the people of Penn
sylyania have done good thing.
