Pennsylvania and Ohio all haiI!,

The returns as far as received from the Buck
eye State indicate the reelection of Gov. Wood,
and the success of the Democratic ticket gen.
orally. Should Ohio spew Scott out Of her
mouth, at this juncture, when he has just been
parading that State in full feather, it will be
Notifying indeed, to the Wing party. These
evidences of Democratic strength in Ohio, are
sure indications of the triumph which awaits tho
gallant Pierce next month in the Buckeye
State.

turns, and our anticipations are nobly realized.

gressmen elected. For Supreme Judge and
Canal Commissioner, also 1000 or 5000 demo-

in Pennsylvania, and admit that Scott has now
no sort of chance.
