Our LOco-Foc0 brethren have bavled them
selves hoarse over the Pennsylvania AMI ONO
elections Well, il is not the first time In the
history of patriots and politicians when 1t
could be said they shouted before they got out oil
the woods. But the tone of the sanguine and en-
thusie st;c gentlemen who give the cue to the
hallooing fraternity has been very essentially
lowered within few days. Intelligence had
heen, within that time, pouring in from various
quarters, which leads TO whispered AMI melan-
choly forebodlngs that, after all, Scott il like
" TO be elected" Such is the language of the
boosters already. Meanwhile the Wings arc
steadily and earnestly at rcork in every debata-
bic quarter with zeal and resolution that is
the surest harbinger of success The conyic-
tion seems 10 be nowhere shaken that Scott's
election is absolutely certain, if the Wings
only poH their entire rOte. The LOcO-Foco ma
ioritv On Members Of Congress in Ono has
dyjndled TO the merest bagatelle, demonstrate
inc that that State cannot be lost to Gen. Scott,
except BY supineness that is impossible to
imsplne and folly to fear. IL Ono does not
go for Scott, the coming election there VIII
disclose backward movement such as
modern politics has not paralleled. Ii Scott
do MT outrun the Wing ticket at the last cleo
tior sufficient to secure the State, then will the
calculation of every sound judging politician
in the country prove TO have been the merest
chaff and tuStlan.
In regard TO PENNSYLVANIA, the causes OF our
late defeat there are plainly seen. Some OF
them could not have been avoded-such, for
example. as the great want of interest felt N
the election, aud the impossibilty of securing
certain potent elements in support OF the State
ticket. Others there were, however, which
could have been removed, and the omission TO
do il was the dictate Oftimldlty and folly. Had
there been done what could have been done,
then We should have come out in Pennsylvania
lust as well as we had any right TO expect, and
lust rs well as we should need 10 have come
out in order TO have demonstrated that the State
was absolutely certain for Scott; and thus fln-
ished AT 3 blow the labOrs OF the campaign, by
making it plain that an overwhelming triumph
was in store for the Wings
The result of the present survey OF the state
of things in that State, is now an entire conil-
dence that il can be carried for Scott. Reliable
accounts from there establish the fact that the
Wings are now doing and have done what they
before might have and should have done 80
that no obstacle exists to carrying the state
except what arises from the damagingniluences
of the late election. These are recognized ana
acknowledged as imposing additional labor upon
the Wings, but they are not considered rs oner-
inc anyyitsl and substantive impeachment to their
sweeping the State This can be done. And So
far as we can see, and hear, and judge, the Wings
mean to do it. A careful examination OF the
whole ground leads us to the conclusion, that If
the Wings do not carry the State it will be their
own fault, and that their want of the holiness,
energy, and industry the emergency demands,
will be the sole cause of their defeat. But We
do not mean to intimate the lack of either;
for We have good ground TO reposc confidence
in them all. J. $. T.
