pENNsYLYANIA ELEcTIoN.

At the last accounts from ihe, State, Shunk's
(Dem,) majority over Irwin, (WGig) was
about " 900. "A correspondent Of tho N. Y. Tri.
buDc, (Whis) says:
All the figures received arc disastrous TO
the whig cause. Locofico counties in
crease their majorities and whig counties fall
of. Ii is no longer aqueslion who will be
elected, but how large Shunk's majority viii
be.
A year ago, the wings claimed PENNSYLVANIA
as new accession to the list OF Wing Ststoh--
This year. the Governor and the Legislature are
Democratic, and the Wing Presses are assuring
their readers that they never expected It" would
be any thing else."
A frank declaration of democratic principles
earlier made upon the subject OF the tariff, would
have saved the change last year, and deprived the
wings of what has sproved short-lived victory.

Ger Linn, of Allen Co., The candidate for
Recorder,who though he received the regu-
lar nomination, ran on the boiling ticket, is
the only regularly nominated Democratic
candidate in that county who has been de-
feated. The old story of sitting on two
stools and finding the floor, has been exactly
verified in his case.

PRoGREss OF FREE SUFFRAsE--It must be
cheering TO the mind Of overy true Drmo-
crat, says the Cleveland Times, to read SEN
,ments like the following coming
from tho press, in country where thGre is
the name without the spirit of liberty; and
where monied suffrage is controlled by
wealth and honor: The extract is from a re-
cent number of the "London Standard;"
"To speak plainly-unipersal suffrage has
aow prry little terror for as. Our expen-
ence of the humble classes, which is toera-
bly, extensive, satisfies us thatthe class below
the ten pound franchise, are class much
more to be trusted than the mass Of those
who occupy ten pound houses. You will
almost always find the working man much
more intelligent and better disposed man
than the small employer-the lodger than
the lodging house keeper--thc customer at
at chander's shop, than the keeper Of that
shop. Thanks to the exertions of cur ever
to bo honored clergy, and afer that unrivalled
body of teachers and bsnefzctors, thanks to
Lord Brougham, Mr.. Charles Knight, and
the aUseful knowledge folk," wonderful
change has been wrought in the habits of onr
working men, even in cities and towns--a
change, which, If ii pmceed as il has pro-
ceeded hitherto, will, we predict, cause tho
mos, jealous guardiansof the rights Of rank
and property, and the rteres!s Of order, 10
have new views Of universal suffrage"

THE ELECTION

The Cincinnati Enquire: speaking OF the cleo
ton in our State says
"Considerng the day, we arc only surprised
that our friends have done go well. We do not
conceal the fact that we very much regret the
result-and particularly the loss Of the Senate.
We shall hnve something else than numbers to
contend with hereafter. The power ofthe wings
has been secured by fraud, in single district,
and by fraud, if fpractcable, will be maintained.
STILL the democracy should rot, and will not
despair. We can yet redeem the State. by the
discharge Of our whole duty,--and TO that end
we shall, at proper time, have some sugges-
tions 10 offer TO our frends, For the present,
we are defeated.-nol conquered
The changes in the State, it will be seen, ara
as follows: In the Senate, the wings have gain
ed Senator in Perry, Morgan and Washington,
in The House, the following changes have been
worked by the apportonmens. The wings have
gained one in Morgan, one in Summit and Por'
tage, one in Muskingum, and one in Trumbul! =;
and have lost one in Belmont aad one in Cuya-
hoga-- making a gain of two members. The
democrats have gained one in Brown and Cler-
mont, and one in Columbianu; and have lost one
in Butler, one in Guernsey and Coshockton, and
one in Knox--making oes of one member
There is Aoaiing member in Stark, the delega-
tion from which county was last year equally
divided. 1t is legitimately democratic loss,
for IT hus gone to q whig district. Upon the vote
in stated ds,rists, the democrats have gained one
in Jefferson. one in Delaware and Marion, and
one in Wayne--and havo lost one in Darke and
Shelby.

WING OPINIONS AT THE SoUTH.-A portion of the
southern PRESS and the New Orleans Bee in particular
has expressed decided dsapprobaton to the sentiments
advanced by Mr. Webster in his recent speech Spring
field, in Massachusetts,. 1t so happens that these
points which noticed by the southern wings, the
ments of Mr. Clay coincide with those of Mr. Webster
The objections urged against the latter will apply with
full force the former, and thus they array part of the
southern wings against two of their most prominent pub
lie men, In the following extract the strong appreciation
to Mr. Clay of these objections strkingy apparent
We desire put upon record (says the New Orleans Bee
the deliberate convictions of the wing party in the entire
SOUTH dissent fom Of the positions assumed
by Mr.. Webster in his speech before the Massachusetts
wing convention. That distinguished statesman declared
that the wing Congress should require of the President
distinct specification OF the objects which he expects
attain by the further prosecution OF the and that until
the President should satisfactorily explain this the
wings should refuse appropriations for the leyyng and
equipment of troops No man whose patriotism is not
dces can, for instant endorse Mr.. Webster's views.
What! withhold supplies until Mr. Polk furnishes full and
satisfactory explanations Of the conduct and final objects
of the war And suppose Mr. Polk did choose satisfy
Congress Would Mr.. Webster have the national legisa-
ture because of the Presidents criminal silence, refuse
single dollar of supplies leave in Mexico without
dwnde away by conflicts with the foe,
by assassnations diseased Would such policy
be inconceivably base in ITSELF and, question of
expedency certain consgn its advocates to popular in
fanny and execation No. no Mr. Mlers method of
storing peace is the far eectua patriotic and praise

journal, of defending repudiaton &c and insists that
public opinion will enforce all the States pay their debts
Upon this point he thus pointedly writes:

The Times accompanies the letter with editorial re-
hearsng the history Of the State debts, and then charging
the federal government with having paid bills which
il issued JAM H. 1882 when Comwais still supposed

The Wnmor PRovIso-The editors of the Memphis
{Tenn) Appeal had heard of the glorious result
State late the 2lst ulmo but hoped that
statements from time to time, OF the certain victory which
awaited our friends would prove correct They say
"We anxious to know whether the democracy of
that noble State will rebuke Mr.. Wmot and stand up
faithfully to the old position of Buchanan Dallas, and
Ingersol the slave question, and also whether they
have fully escaped from the thradom OF selfish and
wise protective tariff principles
The democracy of Pennsylvania not disposed to
adopt the views of Mr. Wimot in relation to the proviso
which he proposed, and which is referred to in some
quarters matter of much importance to over
come every other consideration They believe with Mr.
Dallas and Mr.. Buchanan that the peculiar institution
especially referred to in that provso is which to be
properly regulated only by the people among whom il ex
lists that the States OF this Union in which it exists alone
have the power abolish it, that the people of those
States in which does not exist have the right to adopt
it, if they fit; and that there is good to be attained

became satisfied that the democracy of the State dis
posed to mind their own business and leave the business
of their neighbors TO be attended to by them.
So far the principles of the tariff of 1916 are

leading federal papers of the State made that law one
