CLOSING Statement of yow Reporters Second En-
pioratto,, for the Campaign Of ls4S, of the State
of Pennsylvania
Your reporter, to VIII ON was committed the agree
able, but difficult, duty OF asceranpg, as far as pos
sible, by tour OF the State the probable result in
Pennsylvania, in anticipation of the general cleo
uon of the 9TH of November, having passed through
the interior of the Commonwealth, stopping two
days at Philadelphia, one at Harrisburgh, and two
in this city, with three days passage along the line
of the canal and having freely consulted all parties,
and ell the signs and indications OF the popular
sentiment available along the way, asks leave to
report That at Philadelphia he saw nothing from
The result Of the October election to warrant the
impression that the democratic majority IN the
State had been extngulshed but that the result IN
November depended upon new element 10 the

strong vete from both Of the democratic factions for
Mr. Tallmadge. One of the most prominent of the
Der nburners has asserted that Mr. T. be elected
without the aid of single whig vote. This may be
TO- but the election alone will determine the truth Of
the assertion. 1t may different aspect alto.
