WHAT SAYS PENNSYLVANIA.

A series of resolutions have been introduced
into the democratic House of Representatives
in Pennsylvania, condemning the new Tariff
Bill, and instructing their Senators and Represen-
tatives in Congress TO oppose any change or mcdi-
fcation Of the present Tariff laws. These resolu-
tons were passed unanimously! What say the
democracy Of Connecticut! Will they permit lhem-
selves to be cheated and their industry ruined here

VIII De what are The chances-what are the proba-
biiihes OF the approaching Presidential election
How will the vote come outl Is there larger
vote than usual to come out1 What is the num-
ber OF the neurals in the field? In order TO under
stand these queries, and to answer them accurate
ly, we present our readers with the following very
Interesting table, showing the aggregate vote at the
State elections of 1910, also at the Presidential eec-
ton ofthe same year, together with the aggre gate
vote at the recent State elections, including an es-
innate the number of voters for the present year,
according TO the principles promulgated by The
National Mteligeneer in an estimate recently pub
lished by them Here is this curious table,
The New York herald., 1844-10-18

Estimated from reported majorities and votes.
BY inspecting this table it will be that in the
State elections of lS40, few months previous to
the Presidential election of that year, the whig ma
jority was As. .093 in the nineteen States. The
wing pleurality when we take into account the
abolition vote-then thrown for the first tlme-was
Al, ,443 over the democrats. At the Presidential
election In the same year we are presented IN the
same States with incre ased majority OF ", 600 In
the nineteen States without any abolition votes at
ALL This was an absolute majority Of the whole
In the whole States OF the Union at that time, is
well known that about las 900 votes were taken in
favor OF General Harrison over Mr.. Van Buren,
Now what are the facts Of the present year az
contrasted with those presented in lS40f most
singular state Of things, indeed, meets our view.
We are, 1t is true, presented with democratic
plurality over the whig party OF 81 ,Sl5 but have
the existence OF a new party In the same States at
those recent elections taking 37,045 votes thereby
placing the democratic party in a minority against
both the wings and abolltionsts of 6, ,233. Here is
seen the remarkable position OF the two parties
when contrasted with that occupied by them in
I840, and the singular Influences which have pro-
duced such strange result In the brief period OF
four years. Neither the Journal of Commuce-
nor the NesCs-nor the Tribune, presents an accu-
rate view of this position OF affairs. The Journal
Of Commerce bases its calculations and opinions on
comparison Of the Presidential election OF l840 with
the State elections of 1874, when it is well known,
with few exceptions, greatly increased vote is
generally taken in Presidential election over that
taken in a State election and that II is almos,
certain that very considerable increase will be
manifested in the coming Presidential election
over the vote taken in the recent State elections
We present, therefore, the two parties, according
to the recent results, in the position Of almost per
feet equallty-neither possesses superiority over
the other They almost equally matched
Neither have a majority. The only advantage
possessed by the Democratic party, arises from the
separation and organization Of the abolitonists in
he free States.
With this view Of past events, the next inquiry

The Great Procession OF the Dem oeratie


great turnout OF the various democratic clubs
OF this city and Brooklyn took place IN the Park
yesterday evening" The occasion was the pre-
sentaton Of beautiful silk banner to the EN-
plres." There was magnificent display of ban
rs-torches-discharge of rockets-geat cheer
ing and some speaking. but only by some OF the
minor "guns" The great anxiety appeared TO be
to march in procession and accordingly the masses,
numbering about five thousand, speedily adjourn
ed and paraded the principal streets in democratic
rank and file.
A similar turnout of the whig clubs took place
on the afternoon of the previous day. These fight
ing clubs, with all their noise and parade, cannot
serve the cause of either party We know nothing
of their individual composition, and pronounce no
opinion on the truth or propriety Of the violent src-
lures on the character OF those connected with
them, which appear in the organs OF both parties
the probability is, that they do know each other
pretty well. But what we mean to say Island we
have the concurrence of all intelligent and good
citizens who are not mad with political feeling
that these miscellaneous organizations Of all sorts
of characters, the only qualification tor admission
into which, is fierce and reckless partzanship, are
disgraceful to this free republic. They are nightly
filing Park Row, Broadway, and other streets
with violence, blasphemy, and disorder, and il il
certainly very little to the credit of some of our
respectable citizens that they give countenance to
such dangerous, demoralized, and worthless poll
tical associations.
