cT1TC ELECTIONS.

occur the result of the very latest intelli-
gen'' 90 PENNSYLVANIA.
:, this State the election was held on the
-. =" :.st,rt, for Governor, Canal Commission
Vs. u,orbers of Congress, and State Leglsla-
F'' "' A. n the Governor, the result is still in
, ,l. and we presume nothing short of the
uO": ~, r.turns will determine whether Long
olDN ~ ,bo Democratic candidate, or Johnson,
T,1oraI candidate, is elected. With regard
,to Governors election, we copy the fol.
Loving teIegraphic dispatches 10 the Baltimore
Gun Of Wednesday morning, being the latest
s..onnts received. Which of them is correct,
20 will not undertake TO say. From all the
rrbts before us, we think the Pennsylvanian's
.,o,ompnt is nearest the actual result:
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 17-2 P. NJ.
The Pennsylvania has just issued an ex-
fra containing reported official returns from
The whole State, showing Johnson, the wing
candidate, TO have majority of eleren UOtes
over Longstreth. Johnson is believed 20 be
elected, hut by less than 100 majority.
johnson Elected Governor.
HARRISBURG, Oct. 17-6 P. NJ.
We have received returns from all the coun-
ties in the State, more than two-thIrds OF WHI.L
are official, and Johnson's majority over Long
s,reth is over 500 votes.
It may be asked, how comes it that IN an
rndoubted Democratic State we are run so
,,ose, We think we can solve this mystery.
I.brson. the Federal candidate, came out and
.,I,n,ed himself on the Free Soil Platform"
I'D as the Free Sellers had no candidate for
Governor of their own, every man of them
voted for the Federal candidate. The thing
rru he different in November. The Free
So1ors will vote their own ticket, and take
tom The Federalists thousands OF votes that
,ysrs cast for Johnson. These are facts and
., chow that il is so, Painter, the Democratic
candidate for Canal Commissioner, is elected
nv upwards of 1000 majority. We have lost
me member OF Congress, from present appear
,rces, and the Legislature will be Wing on
ioiot ballot. From the causes above stated,
,be result in Pennsylvania we do not regard
a,any test whatever of the strength of Tay
Ior in that State. We feel as certain as we
ever did, that the old Keystone will cast her
vote for Cass and Butler in November next.
We will stake our reputation this predic-
ton.
OHIO.
The result in this great Western State is
,rrIv uIorious for Democracy. There was no
nsmocrat who entertained hope that we
coula succeed in electing Col. Weller, the
Gallant Democratic candidate for Governor,
for the reason that Ford, the Wing candidate,
yyas an out-and- out Free Soler, and was run
BY lha: party as their candidate. Indeed, ii
was calculated by Democrats that if Ford was
Dotelected by over Is 900 or 90 600 majority,
the State was safe for Cass, for the reason that
The Van Buren, and Adams ticket would in
November take at least 10000 or $4,000 tha
Ford received. Now mark the actual result
The official vote will be required to determine
whether the gallant Weller or Ford is Cover
a
received, it would appear that Weller NDem.
IS elected by small majority. We give from
the Baltimore Sun OF Wednesday, the very Ia
test despatch:
Ohio EiectIon--WcIlor said to he Elected
WHEELING, Oct 17-9 P. Nj.
The Democrats here now positively asser
that Weller has undoubtedly been electet
Governor of Ohio.
We have gained two members O: Congress
and, according TO the latest accounts, the State
Senate is tied, and the Feds have a majority o
4 in the lower House. Set down the Buckeye
State as certain for Cass and Butler, by {
handsome majority.
GEORGIA..
In this State the election was for member:
of Congress only The result is that there ar,
4 Democrats and 4 Federalists elected tn,
same as in the present Congress. The foot
ing up of the popular vote, shews that thu
Democrats have a ajorty of some five or 81,
hundred. This is no fest of the majority which
the State will give for Cass and Butler in No
Yember. Her gallant Democracy will the,
give the Democratic ticket at least 800 or ?,
900 majority.
SOUTH CAROLINA.
This State elected members of Congress an
State Legislature. Somehow We cannot as
certain from the Charleston papers who are thu
members of Congress elect. The Legislature
elect IS we'll ascertained to be for Cass ant
butIer, although the Charleston delegation
almost unanimously Taylor men.
). CARoLINA,-Since making up our Stat
election news, we have received the Charles
