The State Elections.

Inc STATE Elections or pennsylvania. Ono
and Indiana are held this day. The electors of
Pennsylvania will choose Members of Congress.
eleven Members OF the State Senate. full set
of Members of the Assembly, a Judge of the S.-
prcme Court, Canal Commissioner. County
Judges, Sheriff.. and other local officers In
Ohio are to be chosen Members of Congress a
Judge OF the Supreme Court, Member OF the
Board Of Public Works. and County Auditors.
Recorders, &c. In Indiana. in addition to the
Congressional Delegation the Governor. Lieut.
Governor, Legislature and local administration
generally have to be elected.
lii these elections we confidently expect that
the Wings will gain considerably upon Their cp-
pOnents, especially in Pennsylvania and Ohio.
In lndianan we look Tor one or two additional
members of Congress, but our hopes are not
very sanSuine, and we prefer to wait till the
votes are counted before indulging in feeling
of certainty. We presume the State Admins
tration and Legislature will remain as hitherto
i'll the control of the Sham Democracy
In Ohio there has been comparatively little
excitement with reference to the State and local
officers, while the Congressional canvass has
been more animated. Though the last Icoisla-
ture districted the State for the express purpose
of giving it to the Opposition, and the Wings
accordingly have to work at great disadyall-
tage, we rely upon gaining two or three mem
bcrs of Congress, In several districts the Oppo-
sition is badly split up, and in others the Wing
candidates are likely, by dint of personal inhul-
cnce and hard work, to secure their election,
against heavy odds. Our special hope is that
Hon. Nelson b. Odds, in the XIIth District. may
be among the defeated. and that his place NAV
be supplied by Samuel Galloway. The State
election proper will have littl: significance
either way. turning as it will upon local con-
sderations. If a Governor and Legislature
were to be chosen, the Wings would sweep the
State, so general is the disgust at the conduct
OF the present Legislature but, as it is. we must
wait till next year.
In pennsylvania we expect to make a gain in
the Congressional delegation. and that Wing
Judge OF the Supreme Court will be elected
Changes i'll the Legislature arc also to be look
ed for: these will, however, be due mainly to
local causes, and will have no decisive bearing
upon national politics.
We repeat that we do not entertain very HIGH
expectations with regard to this days work in
either OF these States. Pennsylvania and Ohio
we do not doubt will vote for Winfield Scott
but they may to-day fail to vote for his friends
Him they have long known and honored as the
| lllustrlous soldier, civilian. patriot. and him
they support in many cases from considerations
that outweigh party names and predictions
The present contest will at any rate give NO
adequate indication of what will be done on the
I'd of November. The vote will not be so full
nor will the votes be cast for the same party
