We have hitherto rei'rained from spec
ulaions as to the result Of the Presiden-
tial election in Pennsylvania. We have
no desire to deceive our friends by false
hopes, or advance opinions unauthorized
by facts. An insight into correspon-
dcace with all parts Of the State, and the
reports ofpersous of good Judgment, who
speak from personal observation, guar
anty the belief of the reasonable and the
unparalleled, that the TdylOr and FW-
mare ticket w,H obtain the electoral vOte Of
Ills State By a large majority.
Since the nomination of Van Buren,
the aspect ofthings has changed in Penn
sylvania. While that nomination will
command $4,000 Locofoco votes, it can
not obtain more than 1000 Wing free
soil votes. Had Judge Mclean been
nominated at Buffalo, some five thousand
Wing votes might have been cast for him
on the slavery questions; but Wings can
not vote for candidate who is the real
author of the calamiles springing out OF
the Jackson administration, and who, has
hitherto borne the uppellation of NORTH
ern man with southern principles" from
his anti protection, anti'improvement and
pro. slavery views.
In addition to tho losses of the Loco
focos, from the the nomination of Van
Bnren, we must also take into the ac-
count, in our calculations, the very large
support that Gen. Taylor will receive
from their rank and file. There is hard
/ ly Rough and Ready Club in the State
that has not Democrats enrolled among
its members. No strong party prejudl'
ces are to be overcome in supporting
General Taylor, while his lberaity o.
character concliates all in his behalf

Whj,mnm AGAINST yyhi,,nnn.

Mr., Whilman,in his speech, peared to
be exceedingly mortified because we as
serted hat he erpectcd something, which
he knew would not take place, thereby
impeaching his honesty. We will give
a portion of our reasons for the belief
that is in us.
speaking of the probability of Gov.
Bebb calling an extra session of the
Legislature, in his address to the district
he says:
ut is to be hoped that sense of right
will yet overcome parlizan interest and
feeling in him, and that he will perform
his duty"
In his address to the people of Ohio,
he says:
ave have no hopes that he will accede
to that request"
Again, in his address to the district,
he says:
Il entertain no doubt that sufficient
number of the patriotic memters Of the
opposition = \ will cooperate with
The democrats, to remedy the difficulty as
far as possible, by continuing the Gov
ernme Mt in existence, and by providingi
for Convention to form a new Consti-
tution."
In his address to the people of Ohio
he says:

to attempt to palm off law,na nncon.

their steps " " ~"
Thus believing, we are forced to treat
the subject as ifno power existed to rem
edy the evils, save that which exist il

Our readers will excuse the ad jectiyes.
We simply wished to show Mr.. Whitman
that we had reason for our faith. We
add no comments. Most of the gentle

The Breslau Gazette contains the

that intelligence, therefore, appears to be

VOLUNTEER CLOTHING.
We have certainly no wish 10 place
General Cass in any position. where we
would do him injustice. We have no
wish to make any charge against him that
is not sustained by documents. We have
no desire to charge the Eagle with at
tempting to screen It's Candidate at the
expense of positive proof. But it persists
in denying that bill was reported by
the Military committee, in the Senate Of
the United States, the proper construc-
lion of which would reduce the pay for
volunteers clothing, 81 per month. 1t
copies from Adjutant General JONES,
that "Cass had no agency in the cOastruc.

that "the volunteers were paid $3.50 and

The law does not simply say that the
volunteers shall "receive clothing in kind
at the same rates, according to grades, as
the regulars" but this is done, "in lieu
of the money which, under existing laws,
is allowed to volunteers" And when
Adiutant Jones construed the law, he
construed it correctly; and when the de-
parlment construed the law, they violated
its provisions, that is all. They saw the
influence it would exert, and at the OK

porant fact-there are scarcely any ne
groes among The abOlilionists, while we
have large numbers among us. If the

The papers of,his city publish a letter
from General Taylor, explanatory of his
position, and alluding to the criticism
which his nomination by detached parties
has elected. In his letter he declares
himself IA Wing in principle, although no
party man; he says he is the peoples can
ddate, that he has been nominated by
all parties; and that he consented to serve
from the hope that it would cause the
canvass to be conducted with candor, if
not with kindness. He says that he has
accepted the nomination of tho Wing
Convention, which assembled in Phlla-
delphia, with gratitude and pride, and
refers to his previons letters, particularly
that one addressed to Captain Allison, tor
his views on all necessary subjects. The
General concludes by saying that it cleo
ted tolhe exalted station OF President OF
the United States, he will endeavor to
cement the Union, and do all in his pow
er to establish the happiness ofhls coun-
trymen on an enduring basis.
