OCTOBER ELECTIONS.

PENIS YI.v ANIA-The Geographic returns pre-
sent rather a confused tumble, from which we
have siiied lie following facts
In II cou ties the vote for Canal Commits sion-
or shows Wing gain on the popular vote over
that of last year, of 4l92, when the Locos car
ried tie State by $50. They have probably
elected their man this time, but by much re-
duced ma or ty.
Legisidtme.-The Locos have carried the
Legislature, but their majority is reduced from
last year. As far as heard FROM the Wings
hgye elected 10 the House 80 members, and the
Locos 81 Ia the Senate the Wings will proba-
bly, have two majority. The District comprising
Armstrong, Clarion and Indiana counties, will
settle the question.
Members ef Congress.-The Wings lose four
members, including Levin, (Native) and gain
one il place of Job Mann. 1t is not, however,
certain that he Wing candidates are beaten in
he 18Th and 18th districts. The vote is close,
and the reiu rs are not all in.
OuIo.- Gorernor.-The Locofoco candidate
for Governor is elected by a plurality of some
10000.
Legislatwe-We see no reason 10 doubt that
the Wings have carried both branches of the
Legislature, which secures the return of Mr..
Ewing to the Senate.
Members IF Congress.-The only change po-
ILLEGALLY in the delegation is in the 2lst district,
where Norton S. Townshend, f. S. Loco, takes
the place of Joseph NJ. Root We are glad to
see that Lewis d. Campbell is reelected. Hi
ram Bell succeeds MIR. Schenck, and John
Welch succeeds Mr.. Vinron.-.aias.

The Freeman VS.. THE AGE.

The Woodstock Age last week spoke thus
sensibly of The attemp: 10 make Free Democrats
out of the Democracy of the State:
snow, il is our opinion, that there has been
enough of this foolery, and the Democrats OF
Vermont had now better get themselves into a
line ready to march with the National Demo-
cratic party, that in two years from next Novem-
Der wil.elect Presiden. of the United States,
more iriumphantly than ever has been elected
a similar officer stree the formation of this
Union"
To which the Montpelier Freeman, too scru-
pulously vlriuous to admire any thing but the
pure wickelness of aboitionism, thus indignant
ly replies: Sentinel
Foolery' Very well, it may be with sonnet
with those who came into the union with no
honest purpose-with those who came forward
in open convention and deliberately voted for
the strong free soil resolutions forming the noble
platform of that union with no intention of being
governed by the principles therein embraced,
and who have ever since, in supporting the free
soil nominations, been acting under the mask
OF ypocrcy-wi,h all such the course they
have pursued has indeed been fooery, and a
foolery too, from which the sooner they clear
themselves, the better it will be both for their
reputation and for the party with which they
have been acting; and we sincerely hope that
they will take the advice of the Age, and, with
out further delay, get themselves into line.

for the support of Cass, or some other dough
face, or STAKEHOLDER, who will need all their helm
before he is elected SO very triumphant:y ns the
Age seems 30 confidently to predict Yes. with
the implied admission of the Age for Itself. and
those for whom it is authorized to speak that
thew have not been acting in good faith, we

from last years union, good one; and should

From Teras BY the arrival of the Steamship
Galveston, we have late and interesting news
from Texas. The Legislature adjourned on

IN November. The War bill, as it was called,
was lost by tie in the Senate. II lad been SO
amended ia the House, as not to take effect nn-

was not money enough in the treasury, indepen-
dent OF the School Fund, to pay The expenses

the United States to the State of Texas for the
purchase of portion Of her northwestern terri
tory to the people," 1t farther required the
Gosernor 10 convene the Legislature, 10 take
hnll action on the subject, after the ,ole BY the
people should be ascerlained.
This bill was vetoed By the Governor. who
objected that the Legislature had no righ. to

pie, and that some discretion ought to be left

ing State vote upon it. Moreover, he objected
that the imperative direction to the Executive
to convene an extra session of the Legislature.
was IN direct violation of the state Constitution,
which gives to the Executive, and to him only.
The power to convene the Legislature on extra
ordinary occasions. The necessity which would
require an extra session of the legislature lie
says, must therefore be judged and decided by
HIM alone.
The Judiciary Committee of the Senate 10
which the Governors veto message was referred
reported that they, with single exception, hear
tlly concnrred IN the belief, that the Governors
objections were plausible only, and not valid or
indispensable The Senate passed the bill over
he veto, but the House, by vote of twenty sew
en- to IL, sustained the Governor, and the bill was
lost.
