THE PROSPECT IN PENNSYLVANIA.
GERMANsrowN, (Pa.) Oct 10, 1874.
10 the Edstors Of the Tribune:
You correctly say in the Tribune, that the sue
of Skunk, in this State. by the paltry majority
Of three four thousand votes, is no criterion by
which to judge of the resulkof the Presidential
eection. My calculation is andI have seldom fail
ed in similar calculations, that Pennsyl vania would
be safe for Clay, skunk carry it by 10000 and now.
since his majority is not over half that number,
deem the State as sure for Clay as if the Election
had already b20nhed, and his success declared
The Skunk men fully calculated upon $1,000 ma
jority, two weeks ago and had the. elsction~been
deferred two weeks longer, Markiewould have UNI |
doubtedly been elected. You may set down
Pennsylvania certain for Clay and the Tariff, by at
least 5000 majority. =. Very truly yours
The Game-A Locofoce from the interior boast
ed rpcentlv nresenca that thew intend TO get
all the Wing abolitionists TO vote for Mr.. Brney,
while the Locofoco abolitonists would vote for Mr.
Polk. We have no doubt that this game will be
tried 1t was played with some success last year,
especially in certain towns of st. Joseph county
but we trust and believe that the eyes Of the Wing
abolitionists already opened fthey are not,
such boasts as we have mentioned viii open them
wide anil clear. Every vote cast for Mr. Bssnsy ~
thrown away. He has shown that he views it az
all a farce, by conserving to take locofoco nomi-
nation for the State Legislature. It is equivalent
to abandoning the Abolition nomination for the
Presidency. Detroit AdU.

Sc of the essential doctrines Of Holy Scripture, and

her standards and further that the Genefai Con-
Convention is not suitable tribunal Tor the trai
and censure of such and that this Church IS not
responsible for the errors OF individuals WnetheT
thew ore members Of this Church or otherwise
The Louisville Courier gives the annexed &C
count Of a recent scene in that city
Tremendous Observation-Disclosures Cro'cd at
| the a. Rig 9e0f'-C Onverts-ChsTches Deserted
Weeping and Prawng-The excitement IN TINS
community in regard to Millerism, IS much great
er than we had supposed-much greater than one
who had not visited the "Bg Tent" could imagine.
| The scene presented there on Sunday night, was
certainly very remarkable one. The immense tent
was filed with thousands of persons every seat ana
spot OF ground being occupied, and still thousands
| had to 20 away unable even to get inside. Inc
churches throughout the city were almost entirely
deserted, so eager were all to hear the doctrines
| held by Miller and his followers expounded. A
| mons the vast assembly in the great tent, we no.
t;ceG peope of every profession and every class Of
society," The high, the low, the rich the poor tne
arisocrat the democrat, the preachers, saints and
| Sinners men, women, children, and niggers- all
crowded and damned together, and almost snhoca-
ted with the dust, heat and smoke. After the ser
mon had been preached--and it was very reason
able sermon. which none could object to-came a
scene which beggars description. 10 De reailzeo'
| II should have to he seen. The mourneTs or con-
yerts of whom there were very large number,
threw themselves into the dust and dirt around the
pulpit, and for nearly an hour, men and women
were praying, singing, shouting grooming and weep
! inc bittegly. The negroes appeared to be very
lgenerally alarmed, and hundreds Of them were cry
ing and making the most hideous noises. The
preachers did not set any certain time for the de-
struction Of the world, but stated that they were
expecting it hourly. and would watch and pray I'M
til it did come.
