THE TRUE FRIENDS OF THE COUNTRY.

We find in the Albany Express the names OF
more than five thousand citizens of the city of New
York who pledge themselves that at the ensuing
election they will support no candidate who is in
favor of further agitation OF the slavery question
in Congress, or who is known or believed to be
hostile to the peace measures passed by the last
Congress, or who is in favor of reopening the ques-
tons involved in them for renewed agitation. This
is broad and solid platform, upon which may
unite all the friends of the Constitution, of what
ever party, throughout the country.

in PENNSYLVANIA, the Democratic candidates
for Governor and Canal Commissioner are elected.
Their majorities varously estimated at from six
to Sght thousand.
The Legislature is probably Democratic in both
brHches. The members of the Senate holding
ov& are, Democrats l3, Wings 8. Eleven new
Senator's are chosen at this election, Of whom il is
supposed the Wings will have six and the Demo-
Gratis five. If this is correct there will be Demo-
cratic majority of three in the body. Sufficient
| returns have not been received to form estimate
of the relative strength of the two parties in the
Assembly, but there is doubt that the Democrats
will nave the preponderance.
The Hon. JOHN B. GIBSON, JEREMIAH S. BLACK,
ELLIS LEWIS, and WALTER H. LowRIE, the Demo.
cratic candidates for the Supreme Bench, are cer-
tainly elected. There is some doubt of the sue
cess Of Judge CAMPBELL, the remaining candidate
of The same party. The returns indicate that he
will be beaten by RICHARD COULTER, one Of the
Wing candidates.
In ONO, SO far as is known, the Wings have
been defeated by the combined forces of Locofo-
coism and Abolitonism. The plurality of Gov.
WooD over the good and experienced candidate of
the Wing party will probably be l0,OOOsvotes. OF
the results as regards Judicial officers and members
of the State Legislatures have no definite infor-
nation.
