0TThe recent election in Pennsylvania
shows the "sober second thought of the peo-
pie" On examining the figures, it will be
seen that the coal regions have undergone a
complete revolution, their vote being given al
most entirely to the Wing ticket. What is the
cause of this, but the policy which has closed
the iron FORCES, causing the coal works 10 sus-
pend for want of market, and taking bread
from the mouths of thousands of poor honest
laborers! Pennsylvania has been swept over
as by tarnado. its avenues of trade choked
and lis prosperity checked; how could it result
otherwise than in spontaneous combustion OF
political elements through which the people
are seeking to recover their lost ground? Penn
sylvania, more than any other, is the test State
of the Union on the great American policy oil
''Home Protection" and slow as her people
generally are to awake and move, they have
now spoken in thunder tones, their desire foI
new men and new measures, that this policy
may be preserved.

OEAfter the result in Pennsylvania, is
there friend TO Gen. TAYLOR, in this State,
that doubts our ability to carry it 1ext month?
Let him look over the matter, and he cannot.
Mr.. Folks majority was only 2,3l4 votes, a
very small number in State casting near one
hundred and forty thousand votes. A change
of one vote in each township in the State will
give il 10 Taylor. Can that not be Effected
Let the true character and principles of Gen.
Taylor be made known to the occupant of ev-
cry house in Indiana, and he cannot fail TO get
the State By thousands of majority. The most
effectual way of accomplishing this is by fur
nishing the People with documents, in which
these matters set forth.
Let the friends of the country be active. Go
into the townships and see that every thing is
ready. Let every man who desires the REDEEM
tion of the government from the hands Of the
spoilers, and the elevation of pure-hearted old
Patriot TO the Presidency, be brought 10 the
polls, and all will be we'll.

How DID THE LocoFoco FREE SolLERs VoTE?
The response 10 this interrogatory has been
made by the ballot-box. In this city and coun-
ty, these free-soil champions voted very gen.
orally for Weller. When in Congress-, and
the anli-slavery petitions were presented, this
same Mr.. Weller denounced them as hellish
deSignS-as Uicked and incendiary-yet 10
show how glaring and revolving can be the
contrast between profession and practice, the
''free-soil democrats" cast their vote for the
man who thus profanely denounced them!
Our exchange papers, that have reached US
from the neighboring counties, tell the same
story, and for the benefit of those whom it may
concern, we copy the following from the Cler-
mont Courier:
"Of one thing we are convinced beyond all
doubt, and that is, the entire want OF good
faith on the part of the iOcofoco free sellers OF
this county. towards the wings whom they had
induced 70 abandon their old association. 1t
is evident that while the wings of the free-soil
party have adhered TO their candidates, the To-
cofocos have, almost TO a man, abandoned
these candidates, and voted for Weller, MOI
ris and Norris. We are glad they have shown
the cloven foot thus early. We now say TO
those wings who have been thus basely de-
ceived, come out from amongst them! They
labor only 10 delude you. Trust not 10 loco
focoism in any shape or form il may assume.
Vote with the great conservative whig party
the only free-soil party-which conclusive
ly proved It's attachment TO the principles you
profess. Gin. GGE.

Total,

From this it appears that there are 62 votes
for Taylor, rs for Cass, and % doubtful or neu-
trail votes; if these doubtful votes be added TO
the 62 Taylor votes, it will give 80 votes for
Taylor, or a majority Of ii on the joint ballot.
And it is not at all improbable that these vo-
ties rOiH be cast for Taylor, for in some cases
the question of preference has been raised, in
many instances; while a preference has not
been expressed for Taylor, the candidates say
that in no eUent caa they support Gen. Cass.

PRESIDENTIAL ELEcTIoN!I i'm WIscoNsIN-We
learn from the Milwaukee Sentinel, that the
Legislature of Wisconsin have made no pro-
vision for the election of Presidential electors
In that State. The Sentinel says:
A bill for the purpose was introduced into
the Assembly; passed by that body; subsequent-
ly amended in the Senate, thence returned to
the Assembly, and there, through some culpa.
BILE neglect, dropped. Our State, therefore, is
without any law prescribing how and by
whom our Presidential electors shall be cho-
sen, or when and where to meet and ballot, as
the Constitution of the United States requires
them to do, for President and Vice President
This defect, though not fatal. is a serious one
and might embarrass the election.

SOUTH CARoLINA.-A correspondent of the
Charlesy Courier says that the impression
which has gone abroad that the Legislature
will cast the vote of this State for Gen. Cass
is groundless and without proof, and says the
probabilities are all the other way, appending
the following as the probable vote on joint
ballot, compiled from the most reliable infor-
nation:

"A BLAST ON THE OLD WING HORN.

n Didst on the VIA wing morn!
Its clarion notes for me!
And fling to the breze of morn,
Our banner unsoiled and free.
Oh, give me the men TO rule,
Who corTuption's tide will stem,
And steer the ship through every shoal,
While our Taylor holds the helm.
A blast on the old whig horn!
Let il ring through every vale!
Till all, where It's notes are borne,
The glorious summons hail.
Let il ring out long and loud,
Till il thunders through the land
And misrule her head hath bowed,
Before Taylor in command.
A blast on the old wing horn
Till it rings out loud and clear,
Sound the doom of those who scon,
OF the peoples voice TO hear.
Oh, give me the men in power,
Who have noble aims and true,
In shine or when iempests lower,
With the good of all in view.
A blast on the old whig horn!
Till on every mountain heard.
While high above, with Plumage torn,
Scars our storm tossed Eagle bird.
His pinions he bathes in the light,
As DER Buena Vista's plain,
Till victory speeds, with eagle fight
To where Taylor leads again.
A blast on the old wing horn
Sound it louder, louder yeti
1t proclaims gladstone dawn,
When the sun OH high is set.
Then come, when soundeth the horn,
Gather from city and plain:
Our flag on the breeze is borne,
And our Taylor leads the van.

Who SHALL MAKE OUR LAws?-THE PEOPLE
OR THE PREsIDENT?-The Presidential contest,
" hich now is at hand, says a contemporary, is
mainly TO determine who, for the next four
years, shall make the laws for the people. OF
late, the most important laws and the most
momentous public acts have been made or de-
feated by one man, instead Of by the people,
through their elected representatives. Are
the people willing'to have the whole power
taken out of their hands, and lodged in an IL
responsible indivdual-for the President is
only nominatly responsible for his doings?-
Experience has proved fully and conclusiyely,
that it is impossible to impeach a President,
let his usurpations and abuse be as great as
they may. A bad and unprincipled President
will always contrive 10 secure SO great an In
luence that it would be in vain to impeach
him. Consequently when a bad man is once
raised to the Presidential chair, he may act as
badly as he pleases, and he will be sure to be
sustained by all those who depend on his ia
vor. One of the principal means of reward
ing favorites is the arbitrary use of the ueto.-
BY the exercise OF this prerogative of tyrants,
he can at his discretion control all legislation,
and effectually neutralize the will of the peo-
pie, to favor the designs of few favorite par
tisans, men who stand pledged in return TO up
hold him in opposition to the just Indignation
of the people. If Gen. Cass should unfortu-
nately be made President, he ALONE will be
the true lawmaker of the country, and we
shall have a Democratic Republic only in
name. IL, on the contrary, the great and good
Zachary Taylor is elected he will be the Presi
dent Of the people and of the whole country
He will pay perfect respect to the voice Of the
people as lawfully uttered by their constitut-
ed agents, and he will veto no bills where
their wishes are constitutionally expressed
Let the people bear this in mind. Let them re-
member We live under democratic republic,
and that il is in entire opposition TO all repub-
lican principles, for one man TO hold all the
power, which he may do, and some of our late
Presidents have done, by usurpation. Let
them remember that there may be Republic
in name anda DcspOtism in fact, as is the case
now in France, and as will inevitably be the
case here, if Lewis Cass is suffered to enter the
Executive Office of the United States.

DESERVING IN MICHIGAE.--Almost every

who have recanted Locofocoism, with all its

cident occurred in the course Of the proceed

the Detroit Advertiser:
Alexander Davidson, ESQ.,, of Detroit, be-
ing present, was loudly called for. MIR. Da-
