WILLIAM F. JOHNSTON.

Too much commentator cannot be bestowed by
the Wings of the whole Union upon the unweared
and very efficient efforts of the Governor of Penn
sylvania in the late arduous campaign for Governor
in the keystone State, as also in the Presidential
campaign.

death of the late Governor Skunk, WILLIAM +.

Wing principles and the true interest OF noble old
Pennsylvania, took the field and made canvass
over the State chich ,rH nerg be forgotten. Knowing
that his right and just knowing that the
arisans who had cheated the honest people Of Pennsylvania
1914 were attempting similar fraud in endeavorng foist

Il may not be inappropriate, illustration of the moral
force in which Governor JOHNSTON moved the State in
his brilliant campaign, to here state the effect il had upon the
of exGov. Isaac Hill, Of New HAMPSHIRE who had
gone into the Keystone State eecioneeng aid the
of Cass ard Butler. ''Why, (said he,) Governor

The Locofoco organs seek to obtain comfort in
their defeat, by insisting that the running OF Van
Buren, was the cause of it, and that sngle-handed
Cass would have been elected over Gen. Taylor.
The returns from the several States where Van Bu-
rem did get votes, prove the very reverse, and make
il doubtful whether, if Van Buren, had not been 4
candidate, Gen. Cass would have got half dozen
States in the whole Union. The New York True

the matter Alright, and thus speaks:

REMEMBER pLAQuEMINEs !

In 1914 the country was astonished by intelli-
gence that the parish Of Plaquemines, lying at the
mouth Of the Mississippi, had given nearly one
thousand majority for Mr.. Polk, and thus carried
the vote of Louisiana against Mr.. Clay. As il
was well known that this parish never had given
and could barely give five hundred legal votes, all
told, surprise and anxiety were naturally excited,
and, on inquiry, it was found that steamboat had
been chartered at New Orleans and loaded down
by the vagrants and loafers who had no right TO
vote there, by whom and their hackers the Plaque
mines polls were early surrounded. The few Wings
who attempted to oppose this vany were beaten
of the ground, and the illegal Locofoco votes poured
in by the hatfu until the conspirators had polled as
many as they desired The total vote Of Plaque.

as follows:

The total vote this year, il viii be seen, is SIS,
and both parties have done their best. The Loco

The Present Crisis.

The importance of the present crisis in
the progress of our cause cannot well be o.
yerrated, nor can the necessity of a true ap-
preciation Of it and wise action in it, by the
a~bolirionists. With thrilling interest we
have watched the events of the few months
past, connected with the slavery question, in
their successive developments, and with a
deep and almost painful anxiety we look upon
the present posture OF our cause. TIL times
are full of promise and of peril. They offer
us a great and speedy triumph, or a shame
full discontinue, as we wisely read and heed
their message, or mistake and disregard it.
If the abolitionists are equal to this trial, as
they have been to so many before it, and
with a firm integrity and calm courage. and
clear insight for The present and foresight for
the future, they press or their way as the
propagators of a Great Truth, they must be
victorious. A thousand signs give promise
of it. All the jarring elements of broken
sects and parties are gravitating toward thai
result, and nothing can defeat il but our own
imprudence or desertion of principle. But if
seduced from their adherence to principle, BY
the allurements of popular favor. and a hop,
Of speedy victory, these pioneer reformerl
leave their high moral position TO enter thu
Government and become members of q poll
teal party, their faithfulness must be disas
tIous TO the cause they love.
