| PHILADELPHIA, Nov. IL, loiV
| DEAR SIN The victory in Pennsylvania over the
sub Treasury party is complete; and unex reced Is
the defeat 10 their file leaders and the rank and file,
that many Of them still cling to the hope that some
mistake has occurred ia the returns of the election, or
that some mistake may be made in summing up the
aggregate vote; they resolved that they could not
and would not be beaten, and they find Il hard to
realize their and unfortunate condition They
do not however since the defeat Of their candidate 10
SO overwhelming, even talk of Kendals alternative,
a defeat Of General Harrison civil war" Many
Of them quietly pocket the aron whilst others, who
have bet largely grumbe at the postmasters, and utter
curses both loud and deep against those who they al
ege, deceived them until the last moment and conse-
quenty caused immense losses to their deuded dupes
The vote for the Harrison Electoral Ticket is
1922 more than was given TO the Wing Congres
sional candidates the 18th October-the Harrison
being increased in all the counties except Centre
and Warren, in which counties the difference in favor
of the Congressional candidates is bu, 25 In
the counties Of Beaver, Bedford, Clinton, Delaware,
Huntingdon, McKean Somerset, Washington, and
Philadelphia city and county upwards Of s1S5O0 who
voted on the 18th for the Van Barren Congressional
candidates only refused to vote for Van Buren, on
the 30th of October but actually poled their votes for
the Harrison Electoral Ticket. This pointed rebuke
to Mr.. Van Barren was given by old-fashioned and
unchanged Democrats-these may be classed with
their Democratic anti-sub Treasury brethren in the
Conservative ranks.
The calculations Of your old Conservative friend,
Judge Sutherland have been verified. pennsylvania
has thrown off the shackles Of the hnmbug sub TIea
sury, and her have declared themselves forever
free from Executive dictation" Few men in Penn
sylvania has done more, throughout the campaign,
than Judge Sutherland in aid Of the of the Old
Hero. His time and talents have been increasingly
devoted in the successful effort to defeat the sub Trea
sury candidate in old Democratic Pennsylvania. The
Conservatives have voted and carried the State for
Harrison which act was Declaration of Indepen-
dence Of another description than the mscalIed decla-
ration signed by the deserter from Democracy, Mr..
Van Buren,, on the 4th of July last
These Democrats who have thrown their influence
and votes against Van Buren, account Of the sub
Treasury have every to expect that one of the
first acts of the new Administration will be blot out
the act from the Statute Book known the lnde-,
pendent Treasury, alias sub Treasury.
Yours, &c.
An original Conservative and Unchanged Democrat.
| NoTE BY THE ED MAp.-From all quarters Of Penn
sylvania, and from members of both parties we are
happy TO learn that Conservative Democracy grow
ing wider and deeper and more comprehensive every
day. Watchword; Democracy; united and onward
