The news of the election in the keystone" State con-
hnues, indeed to be of the most gratifying character With
gallant Berxs, and her THOUSAND majority to lead
the van the stad and faithful old democratic counties are
pouring upon perfect avalanche of good dings The
rout OF the federal forces complete for not only have
the democrats elected their governor and canal commits
soner by malortes ranging from $4,000 to lS,ooo but
they have also succeeded in electng overwhelming
majority TO the Legislature, which last year, largely
the other way.
We cannot repress the heartfelt qualification which
this result affords u.s. in common with every true demo-
crat Not only we delighted that this powerful old
Commonwealth has thus in thunder tones, pronounced
her approval of the course OF the national administration
on the great questions of the tariff and the war; but is
to us equally ground of felcitaon that the same
diet noby sustans the present truly patriotic and
ceen State administration of Pennsylvania.
If we would apply sobriquct to Francis R. Skunk it
would be that OF the Anti-monopoy Governor With
what unloitering fidelity, with what total disregard
of political consequences and personal opportunities,
has not this honest hearted German governor, under
every possible trying conjuncture, stood by the rights Of
the many against the encroachments of the few With
what fearless independence has he not, time and again,
nteposed that great buwak OF constitutional freedom
the veto power-as an mpregnable barrier in the path
way of arrogant and aspiring interpretations! He has
told these associated Responsibilities: Thus far may We
be permitted TO come but farther" His messages
this respect abound in sentiments of pure and practical
pubcanism and exhibit every page proofs of the gen
uincness OF their authors democracy, and OF his devotion
to the great truth in political science which is forever
either forgotten opposed by opponents-that over
mans Individual and business pursuits government has
no functions to exercise, other than lei then. alone
This elementary principle in the democratic creed was
happily enforced by Governor Skunk his speech at the
Berks county Harvest Home to which we may no doubt
in some measure attribute the mammoth majority which
its hardy population have poed in his favor What
democrat would rejoice the election of such rep
resentatve of his principles
We have received no additional returns to those we
gave yesterday, except that Armstrong has given
two hundred majority for Skunk Several weeks
must necessarily elapse before we can furnish the
full vote, as, under the election laws of Pennsylva-
MIA, her volunteers in their country's service in
Mexico also permitted to vote at the place of their
encam pment We learn that full arrangements were
made, through General Patterson receive the result
of their ballots; and unless the cunning Mexicans on
that day Gas was well said by Pennsylvania edtor)
manage get up battle, to prevent the exercise Of this
right, anticipate heavy majority in the Churubusco
box for Mr.. Shunk but it may be long time on the
road.

To the Editor of the Union

The very liberal terms offered by our government hav-
ing been conemptuousy rejected by the Mexcans per-
NIT me to suggest important reason why If ever
make terms with them, should secure to ourselves
little OF their territory than has hitherto been de-
manded.
In the recent negotiations, we asked an unexclusve
right of way the isthmus of Tehuanepec the OBJ
ect evidently being to and better route for
our commerce and communications with the Pacific than
the tedious navigation around Cape Horn. Extending
domains already do to both oceans, shorter and
more feasible route between them than either of those
named must evidently be to us an object of paramount
national Importance Indeed for really good practical
be and expeditions route of that kind could hardly
in view of the magnificent future, pay too much at what
ever cost might obtain It.
But there is every respect much better route than
either that to the Columbia, that by Tehuantepec, any
of those the sthmus In short, there is
persuaded better route than any OF those which
hitherto seem have engaged the attention of either our
government people, and one that as or should be- en-
ttrely leithn own territory The route to which
alude is that directly the connenffro the port
of Guaymas the gulf of California, to the Preside de
Rio Grande, distance of less than hundred miles, and
Nth impeachment an the whole distance to the construe
ton of railroad From the Presidio the Rio Grande
easily be made navgabe to its mouth; or, if prefer
red the railroad may be continued TO that point from
the Presdio by way OF San Antonio and Nacogdoches,
to Natchitochcs, on Red river.
In either of these NODES cargo of goods may be ia
ken from the port of Guaymas on the Pacific, and in
three acees be placed in the Ne1 York and Boston mar
kes This route would have the advantage of not only
being by far the expeditions channel of communca-
ton for us between the Atlantic and Pacific but of lying
in healthy latitude, and requiring less of transhpment
warehousng, and reshpment than either of the others

thing could desire; and that is, that it should lie
