Two districts remain in doubt, viz; the 22d, COM
posed Of the counties of Crawford Mercer, and We
mango, represented by Mr. Garvin (dem.,) and the
23d, or Erie district, represented by Judge Thomp-
son, (dem.)
In reference to the former, We have before US an
extra of the Mercer press, edited by Mr. Garvin,
which puts down the majority for FareIy, the wing
candidate, IN Mercer county, at about 800. His COM
Petitor, Morrow b. Lowrey esq, resides in Crsw-
ford county (Which is also the residence of Mr.. F,)
where there Is usually democratic majority Of from
600 to 700 But the Pittsburg Chronicle says: sin
10 townships in Crawford county the majority for
Fanely (whig) is l27, being gain Of 227 on Mr..
Folks majority in these districts" We have seen
no returns from Venango county, which usually
gives about 500 democratic majority. We regard
the result in the district as doubtful, although the
wing papers confidently state the success Of Mr..
| Farrelly.
From Judge Thompson's district, we find rumors
in the wing papers Of a very heavy majority in
Erie for his competitor, Campbell, (whig,) and Of
less than hundred democratic majority in Clarion.
II these reports are confirmed, Judge Thompson has
failed Of reelection.

We stated on Saturday the rumor that Susque.
hanna county had given from $50 to 200 majority
for Mr.. Wimot. We have since received the
Bradford Reporter, published at Towands (Ihe res
idence of Mr.. w, (which gives Mr. Wlmot 306
majority in Bradford county far received. TIC
"a county (the residence Of Mr. White, the tariff
wing candIdate,) remains to be heard from. The
Bradford Reporter says:
"VIcroRr! VICTORY We have met the enemy,
and again they Our whole ticket is elect
ed. We have achieved one of the most glorious
and triumphant victories all opposition, that
ever won by the democracy of Bradford. Wings,
apostates renegades, and ederaists, are all routed,
horse, foot, and Dragons. Our victory is COM
plete. But we arc too full ofjOy over the result
xpatiate upon the subject this week. We give in
another column the returns as far as we have been
able to collect them. They not official, but will
be found very nearly couect-qute enough so for
all practical purposes. They insure the election of
every candidate on our ticket. The day
ceedingly inclement from morning till night. Had
been more favorable, we would have increased our
maortes fifty per cent.
ave had marked the majority for Mr.. Wilmot,
in this county at 600; and if the weather had been
fair, would have carried it far above those fg-
ures. The majority may not, however, exceed
400.n

Extract Of letter TO the Editor ofue Union, dated
"PHrLApELPHIA, Oct II.
"Wilmot's election pIeases us much. Wherever
the tariff question has been plump and square,
there we have done well. Where our friends shirk4
ed it, we have lost. Look at Northampton, &c
Westmoreland Luzerne, &c Then at Bradford,
county of Phiadephia, and Chester"
In connection, we give the following article from
the New York Journal of Commerce:
"PENNsYLvANIA.--lt is not to be denied that inn
portant political changes have taken place in several
| counties Of Pennsylvania during the past year, as
indicated by the results of the recent elections par
tcularly in the coal and iron regions; and perhaps
the wings are right in attrbuting them to the pass
age of the new tariff law. When men have been
long pampered at the public EXPENSE it requires
more disnterestedness than most possess to be
willing to submit to any abatement of the spoils
But if this is the ground Of their dissatisfactions
why do they expend tupon men who have exerted
themselves to prevent the passage of that law, and
in favor of the tariff Of 1892 Such was the case
with every democrat in Congress from Pennsylva.
mia, las well as every whig,) except David Wilmot
from the district composed of Bradford, Susquehan-
ma, and Tioga. Yet he is probably reelected,
while several of those who voted against the bill
have had leave to stay at home.
Whatever gains may have been made by the
wings at this election, nothing at all has been gained
in favor Of the tariff Of l842 and nothing can be-
unless by the defeat ofDnvid Wilmot"
