Im LATE PENNSYLVANIA ELEcTIoN.-We pub
lish In another column full returns Of the late Penn
sylvanis scton, with comparisons, for future refe
renee. We also give list ofthe Judges elected for
the Supreme and District Courts, and the names
and politics of the members of the Leg elect
These lists. we have thought. would be useful to
our numerous readers having business, or connec-
tons of various kinds, in that State. This is the
first election Of Judges under recent amend ment Of
the constitution Of Pennsylvania The Supreme
Court Judges are elected for term of fifteen years.
and the District Judges for ten years.
We have mentioned the cause of the defeat of
Judge Campbell, on the democratic State ticket
for the supreme Court Bench, namely-that ap.
peals being made in his favor, by his friends, on the
ground Of his being Catholic, the ultra -Protes-
tant interest among the democrats, in Philadelphia
and few other counties, rallied against him. in
consequence Of which he Iost about 5000 votes,
part of which were transferred to Judge Coulter,
on the whig ticket who, by that means, was elect
ed Some of the democratic papers, We observe,
charge upon Mr.. Cameron, late u. S. Senator, and
President Of bank at Middletown, Daurhin coun-
ty, the fact of his being concerned in the intrigue to
defeat Judge Campbell. The latter, it seems, was
the favorite of Mr.. Buchanan; and Mr.. Cameron,
who is opposed to Mr.. B., it is alleged, took that
means to show that Buchanan cannot command the
vote Of Pennsylvania for the Presidency. 1t is also
charged that Cameron caused the defeat of the
democratic candidate for Senator in the Dauphn
dstrict by wkich the democrats have lost the con-
troll Of the Legislature; and thus, of the pa
pers expresses it, the party have only achieved
barren victory by the late election.
This result has caused great indignation among
q m morsa M NJ nd Mr.
and his allies are denounced by the friends of Mr.
Buchanan, in all quarters, as "treacherous and
trafiickipg politicians We should mention, also,
that, under the influence of Cameron, democratic
county ticket was nominated in Lancaster county,
by the friends of Cass, and received, at the late
election, abeut 1000 of the 5000 votes p,lled by
the democratic party in that &C unity. These ma
neuvres have, doubtless, been made for the pur-
pose of weakening the influence Of the election on
the prospects Of Mr.. Buchanan. But there can be
no doubt that he will receive the support of Penn
sylvania as candidate for President, in the demo-
cratic national convention, next spring.
We take the present opportunity to correct very
common error, in the impression that the democra-
tic strength in Pennsylvania lies principally in the
German counties, so called. This is not the fact,
as is shown by the late and former elections. The
German counties proper are Adams, Blair, Hunt
ingdon, Berks, Carbon, Dauphin, Franklin, Ian
cas.er, Lebanon, Lehigb, Montgomery, North.

In contrast with these, we may compare the vote
Of the counties which were principally settled by
people Of New England origin, viz Bradford, Erie,
Crawford, Luzerne, Mexican, Potter, Pike, Susque-
