Pennsylvania Eiection.
The sod Keystone Is herself again.
II is not only with the pleasure usually take in re-
cording party victory. but with feelings Of pride and
gratitude that we present. and have presented from day
to day. the glorious triumph of democratic principles in
the old republican Commonwealth OF Pennsylvania on
the second Tuesday Of this month The eye and heart
Of the democracy in every section Of the Union were
turned with intense anxiety and interest to the result OF
that election. Pennsylvania is known to be emphaii-
cay democratic State; and the two three defeats
the party may have sustained heretofore in consequence
of too much reliance upon its own strength and BY many
sound democrats suffering themselves be led astray by
the glded promises and pledges made BY and for the
available candidates selected by their INSCRIPTIONS

cement with imperishable endurance, the union which
has again brought that great that noble State to her old
place as the "Keystone OF the federal arch"

We had intended refraining from offering any COM
mens upon the recent exhilarang achievement in the
Old Keystone, and from congatuating her honest, in
flexible conquered democratic people, for their
brilliant victory until full returns received from
all the counties and districts in the State. But for
