Of Pennsylvania the most cheering intelligence
in relation to the prospects Of the Wing party
at the coming Governors election. From the
North and the Northwest, from the Wes. and
the central counties, are OF The mos, encouraging
character. In this section Of the State the
Whig majorties will, in all human probability
exceed The most sanguine expectations formed
and expressed at The Time of the nomination
We conversed recently with an intelligent gen.
ileman OF the interior, one well acquainted with
the State, and informed, by recen, intelligence,
from most of the Southern, Central and Western
counties, who assured US of his conviction that
the Whig majority cannot be less than twenty
five thousand. 1t is our habit 10 regard the fu.
iure in The least sanguine light and though we
believe that we are from the state of public SEN
tment, entitled TO such majority, we dare moi
promise it. But, unless every testimony errs,
the aspect of the canvass is mos, favorable, and
promises, with confidence, a great Wing TIL
umph.
This result is to be anticipated not merely
from The immediate evidences of its advent, but
from The character OF our people and the history
OF our politics since the era Of A. The patri-
otism OF the keystone has never lrifed with any
crisis Of the country. Honest, earnest and sin
cere, il has met every duty, in full confidence
that the same spiri, guided those who ruled the
public councils. When, therefore, gentlemen
like James Buchanan, John X. Kane and George
NJ. Dallas assured them that in voting for James
X. Polk they were sustaining the Tariff of 40
and The protection of Pennsylvanas peculiar
interests, they judged them from the honest
standards of their own bosoms, and were de.

The wrong, and sense of modification at having
been the victims OF so miserable fraud, deter
mines them in their resistance 10 it. The Kane
counterfeit which won,he vote of Pennsylvania,
was hardly more deceptive than the Admins
lralion jugge that represented the effects of the
European famine as the results of the Tariff of
46. This latter bubble has burs, before the
time fixed by The hopes of the Administration
and the people of Pennsylvania see their coal
and iron interests sacrificed without a hope of
reaping The dream harvesis promised by the
party, from European necessities. The pres
ent price and future prospects Of grain, and the
clouds already gathering darkly over the coal
and iron interests reawaken, with redoubled re-
sentiment, the attention of The cheated people
of Pennsylvania 10 The fraud of l844 and they
cannot fail 10 recognize in every act Of the pre-
sent national administration bitter and settled
hostility against every interest cherished by
their Stale.
In no quarter of our Union is there spiri,
more quickly and slernly alive to the call of The
nation against foreign foe than in Pennsylya-
MIA. All parties have We'd in their readiness
10 offer up their quotas Of sacrifice TO the present
war But while the duties of patriotism abroad
have been thus nobly answered, those a, home
have not been forgotten. Pennsylvania, by the
unanimous action of her last legislature pro-
claimed in tones not 10 be misunderstood, her
Interchangeable determination never 10 sanction
acquisition for The purpose of extending slavery
This being now the only recognized, the only
imaginable object of our present war, funless
we regard The establishment of Southern and
slave supremacy as an admitted object, and the
erection Of national debt, and the exacton of
a direct tax as its Legitimate results )--Pennsyl-
vania cannot, wilhou, inconsistency almost
grolesquely disgraceful, sanction it. The can
didate of the national administration in Penn
sylvanla. Mr.. F. r. Skunk, has distinctly an
nounced his adhesion TO all The acts and doc
irines OF Mr.. Polk; and those who vote for him
are driven TO The necessity Of indentifying them
selves with The support of every measure of
Mr.. Polk, from his Mexican war down TO his
Harbor Veto.
The confident prospeo, Of Wing triumph
in Pennsylvania doubtless arises from the state
of The public questions before our people but
il also receives great auxiliary promise from the
character ofour candidate. From the Keyslone's
hundred thousands no individual could have
been selected as candidate more justly popular
than James Irwin. Few men so faulless in
personal and political character have been pre-
sented for The suffrages of the people His
history as an individual, illustrating The rise of
worth and energy-his career as
a public man, proving that those who are the
las, 10 seek honor are the earliest to find il, and
that those who are true TO the people never
have reason 10 complain that the people are
false 10 them are full of interest and inslruc.
iion His benevolence, unostenlaiious bui ac-
tive, his integrity public and private. his lofty
and speiless purity of morals, these are merits
not likely TO be overlooked by people like
those OF Pennsylvania. Gifted with mind
naturally clear, bold and correct, aud expanded
by enlarged study and public experience, Gen.
Irvln would make. and will make-lor we re.
gard his election as cer'aln--a Chief Magistrate
worthy The frs, State in the Union. Moderate,
liberal and free from policncal acerbi,y, he will
be found decided, enlightened and elevated in
the supPor. Of every Pennsylvania interes, :;
