PROSPECTS IN PENNSYLVANIA,

PROSPECTS IN PENNSYLVANIA.
Every day adds strength to the general belief
that Pennsylvania will, at the coming election,
be found in the front rank Of the proud army Of
Wing Slater, if she does not even lead the van.
Our own intelligence, from gentlemen as compe-
tent to judge as any in the State, in addition to
accounts from sources which never yet deceived
their friends, induce us to place great confidence
in the declaration of an intelligent and infiuen-
tia Pennsylvania to us on Saturday, that :" all is
well in the Keystone State, from the Ohio to the
seaboard." The following extracts will show
what others think of it:
From the Phladelpha Inquirer of Saturday,
GENERAL MARKLE-It is quite apparent to
every careful observer of the present political
campaign, that the prospects OF General Markle
have greatly improved within the last few weeks.
new impulse seems to have been impaired to
his cause, and hundreds are now ralyng to his
support with warmth and enthusiasm, who before
were apathetic and Indifferent. In the West,
the General has made many new friends by his
appearance among and intercourse with the peo-
pie, at Allegheny, Huntingdon, and the neighbor-
ing counties. His cause is evidently onward
ln this part of the State, assure our friends
of the interior, that The Wings will do their whole
duty. Markle will leave the city and county
with noble majority. If the other parts Of the
State will do any thing like as well, he will be
elected, and by majority OF at least 10000.
Mr. CHANDLER, of the Philadelphia U. S. Ga
zette who seldom errs thus talks of the prospects
of General Markle
We know he is gaining friends rapidly in the
city and county of Philadelphia, in Bucks Mont
gomery, Lehigh Northampton, Chester, Della
ware, and Lancaster; and we trust that the same
influences which are producing this result in
those counties, are producing similar effect in
other parts of the State. We look upon his cleo.
ton as certain as any future event about which
men may be mistaken. Let every Wing do his
duty on the day of election, and Markle will be
elected.
From the Richmond Wing Of Saturday.
PENNSYLVANIA AND New JERSEY Both O. X.
beyond peraduenture Within "a hours, we
have seen three letters from as many dsconnect-
ed sources, from as accurately informed men as
any in Pennsylvania stating that these two States
will most unquestionably vote for Mr.. Clay. The
Wings may BET upon this information, if they
will bet at all.
The day of brag and buster is nearly over To
induce the Catholics to vote as Church. as
unit, for Polkery, is the last desperate and dis
credtabe hope for the party in Pennsylvania.
The Philadelphia Chronicle of Saturday, neu-
trail paper, in an article upon "the coming cleo
tions," says:
ave are lockers on here in Vienna but had
we the prophetic vision of old Hague, we think
we could use it in the present instance to more
advantage than he oftentimes does. For instance,
on venture, we predict that Clay, Frelinghuy-
sen and Markle will have majority in the city
and county of Philadelphia at the coming cleo
tions-and that the Native American city and
county candidates, with one or two exceptions,
will be triumphanty elected. Stick pin here.
SKUNK IN THE WEsr.-The Pittsburg Amer.
can, in speaking Of the Polk Convention held in
that city on the 18th, says:
In their ranks were many who carried badges
for Polk, Dallas and Markle, and one flag passed
through the streets with Polk, Dallas, and -
the last having been obiterated. Many of the
banners bore but the two names. Skunk is a
doomed man.
| We have been assured from various quarters
that several delegations from WestmoreIand had
Planners inscribed "Polk, Dallas, and Markle,'
which were taken from them at Turtle creek,
and that some whole delegations returned in con-
sequence.
One thing this convention fully displaycd-that
the jig is up with Mr.. Skunk.
