PENNSYLVANIA ELECTION.

The total overthrow and dispersion Of the
'spoils' party in nsylvania, is regarded
NJ indicating, with unerring precision. the
annhilation Of Hunkerism. The hopes al
the Cass men are extinguishcd. The indie
pendent papers, without IN exception, SO
far as we have seen, concur in this view Of
the matter, aud pronounce the Presidential
contest, to be substantially decided.
The New York Day Book declares the
returns 10 he
decisive ngains, tho very absurd and
unwarrnntnble pretension Of the Locoiocos
to continued existence OF their extensively
smashed and disloca,ed party. As for
Lewis Cas-, the idea ol forcing the unlorlu-
nate old gentleman into TIC horrors of such
defeat as awaits him three weeks from
Tuesday, il the Old lIunkers persis, in thus
exposing him to public ridcu!c, is positive.
~ cruel Van Buren, has fully accomplish
ed bis pnrpose--that there shonld be no
Locofoco party without him fnr its hend,
and his friends in possession Of the offices.
Neither no nor the party will ever do
ouch more mischiie to ono another, or any
one else.
"Pennsvlvania never before gave ma
jori,y for Wing Governor, though in 1886
il gave small plurality for an old nn,i-ma.
sonic candidate when their were two Lo-
co(ocos running against him. This is some
what significant Of mortal weakness in
the Locofoco party in that State. It's legs
will hardly carry it through the 9Th at Nov
i is - gone sucker" beyond n peradven-
turc. The party is "perlcc,ly united
thcrc--as much so rs bullock is when he
il knocked on the head but it will he skin
ned and cut up before long. There has
been no division in il there, about slavery
extension" or nny other issue likely 10 he
involved in the Presidential election. Csss
men aud Van Buren, men went together for
the gubernntorial candidate. as ii for the
purpose Of showing what nm utterly extinct
humbug the whole Of the old Locoioco par
tyis
'''cho only remaining question MS tn the
Presidential election is. how fer States
Cass will get, not how many--that is no,
the word"
The N. Y. Sun SAYS:
1.-THE result does not surprise us. We
have predicted and expected il, and have no
more doubt tina, Gen. Taylor will he elected
BY the people, than We have that the sun
will rise tomorrow morning"
The New York Globe, n Van Buren, pa
per says:
"The news Yesterday threw the support
ers Of Cass into an attitude Of consideration
and despair. The most favorable tele-
graphic news they received was-'There
is hope TINT Longsireth ia elected bv n
meogrc majority The chance for Cass
is utterly hopeless. Most earnestly On we
wish we could make the sume remark in re-.
laton 10 the chances of raylor"
The n. Y. Herald thus concludes long
article on the recent State election:
.Dnrng the next three weeks the con
test will rage 6errelv. bui the supporters Of
Gen. TAYLOR have yi~ibly the vantage
ground" and the chances ARE more ,hnn
over in his favor The Van Bnrcn purity.
il is likely, will sink into oblivion. from this
dnv forward. The friends Of Gen. Cnss
will make prodigioas efforts, hat we doubt
not they will he overwhelmed in the con
test Of the next three weeks. MS much as
Mr.. Van Buren, was in 1910"
