Pennsylvania.
Brief and transitory are tae ,riumphs oi
whiggcry. Aweek agothey he'd it all their
own way. They claimed Georgia--thcy
claimed the governor in Ohio by or 5000
majority, and Pennsylv ania they claimed by
at least 10000. But what changes week
will bring forth! As more full returns come
in, every despatch whites down their ma
Jorities, until, finally, instead Of iriumphing.
they find theinselver beaten in every guar
ter! Georgia, Instead of whg, shows large
democratic gains. III Ohio, even with the
aid of the Barnburners, they emerge from
the smoke of the battle, dreadlnlly beaten
on the congressional delegation, beaten in
the legislature, and in all probability, bea-
ten on governor; and in Pennsylvania,
where they had the help of the bank demo-
Gratis, Of the Natives, barnburners, and abo-
litionists, they lose severalconsressmen, are
beaten at least 1000 Gil canal commissioner,
1000 in the popular vote on congressman,
and there is even a probability that they
have not elected their governor.

them in November, and will thus give the
state to Cass by 10000 or Il, 900 majority.
And what else can they expect from Penn
sylvania? III that state, besides the abol-
tionists aud barnburners, whose aid they
will lose in November, thousands Of bank
democrats, as they are called, voted for
acknowledgements who are in favor of re.
charterng some 10 state banks whose char
tiers expire the present year, and TO the re-
charter Of which the democratic candidate
for governor was opposed. Thus pehuSyl-
vania may surely be regarded fully as safe
for Cass in November as Oaio--indecd the
candid wings claim neither state.
