ries of the election Of bishop for this diocese So
far the low church party have elected every thing
bat there is evidently going to be struggle for the
place of bishop. DR. Tyng's friends are very san
gune OF his success; but the advocates Of Dr. Bow
man, the opposing candidate, are straining every
nerve TO insure his election. Both parties indeed
seem 70 have selected their best meta and observe
IN the list OF lay deputies the names Of of the
most eminent men in the country. DR.. Tying is a
very powerful and popular clergyman, with a mind
peculiarly constructed to enchain his audience He
has had a most brilliant career in the Episcopal
church, and exerts very commanding influence
DR.. Bowman, his competitor, with whom have
personal acquaintance, is clergyman Of enlarged
views and unquestionasle talents He is probably
one of the best pulpit orators in this State, and is
truly pious and good man. There are few pastors
who maintain stronger hold upon the affections of
their congregations than Samuel Bowman, Of Lam

Well, we shall see!
The news from Texas is most inspiring The
certainty of annexation has wreathed the face Of
every democrat with smiles; and the assurance that
this great and vital measure of the late contest is
about to be crowned with success, has even taught
the wings to applaud the frmness the admnistra-
ton in bringing aboutthis result Mr.. Buchanan the
present accomplished and experienced Secretary
of State, in his tour through northern Pennsyl-
vanla before the great issue was decided, well
in all his speeches during the contest, was on no
question more eloquent and convincing than on
that of the remuneration of Texas to the Union.

assemblage present on that occasion. To him, in
whose hands the vast correspondence on this ques-

enabled most effectually to sustain the cause Of
President Polk. Indeed, in Pennsylvania Texas

that the aged could forget it. Thus, fresh, new,
and captivating, it became here, in our glorious

the money and the misrepresentation of the wings.
And now, when the promise of the democratic pa

feel reioiced indeed. We are induced to exclaim,

There is no one, however, who contributed more
to the proper understanding Of the absorbing sub
