Pennsylvania AND OHIO.

State Of Pennsylvania, We have had oppor-
| tunities 10 know something of the spirit n
which their State Elections have been pre-
pared for and contested, and of the pOrtents
OF those Elections.
PENNSYLVANIA is naturally one Of the best
Scott States in the Unon--One of the easiest
to carry for the Hero of Chippews by a large
majority. 1t is deeply interested in the pro-
duction of Iron, which has been greatly de-
pressed under the Tariff Of 1916, and, though
a little better now, is certain TO be depressed
again so soon as the Iron-masters OF Great
Britain shall be inlpelled to reduce their prices
Gen. Scott is personally and widely beloved in
/ Pennsylvania, while Pierce has not particle
of strength there but what was given hun
by his nomination at Baltimore A full vote
and fair animated contest insures the State
TO Scott by large majority
Resting in the consciousness Of this
strength, his friends have as yet done very
little in the way of the organization aud con-
centration of their forces They have gone
into the State Election split up into half a
dozen local factions. Temperance and Rum,
Slavery and Anti-Slavcry, with dozen other
side issues, have served to distract them.
They went into this weeks contest as thor
Ougbly disorganized as party could be. Thus
in Pittsburgh, where we spent Sunday and
Monday, every body was anxious as to whether
Joe Barker should or should not be chosen
Sheriff; while nobody. seemed to know or
much care what would be the result as to
State Officers Temperance was certain there
to injure the Wing Legislative ticket which
was pledged to the Maine Law, while the fact
that our ticket in Lancaster was against the
Maine Law caused it to be cut there badly.
, These two Counties allegheny and Lam
/ eastern will give at least Three Thousand moro
majority for Scott than they have given for
the Wing tickets. And so it will be through
out the State if the Wings now take hold in
earnest, organize every County and Township
thoroughly, and prepare to bring their whole
force to the polls.
Wcpassedncarly through the State on the day
ofElection, and everywhere heard the same sto-
ry-the State tunctiOnares working for dear life
on the lines Of State Canals aud Railroads, but
the Wings treating the contest as of no Ma
tional Importance. For instance, in one town
ship q canvass of the voters has been made,
and there are just Sixiy-ORe Pierce men within
its borders and these cast .ffly-niRe votes on
Tuesday, while that same township has serenity
fire Scott voters who did not go near the poll.
II was much like this throughout Merchants
were away ON business, whom nothing would
induce to be absent from the Presidential con-
test, and nearly all were intent on personal
rather than political ends. There are Twenty
five Thousand Wing votes in Pennsylvania
which have not been pOlled at this Election.
We might have carried Philadelphia Coenty
triumPhanty, and perhaps saved the State
Ticket, by conserving 20 coalition with the
Native American party. BY electing l.. C.
Levin TO Congress, and one or no Of their
County Ticket, We might have taken the rest of
the County Ticket saved one or Two Members Of
Congress, snd sent Our State candidates out of
Ihilade phia several thousands ahead But if
the Wigs had done so, they would have been
accused Of iayOring Natyisr, and Gen. Scott
would have been held TO answer foT it. IL was
better to lose ground nov than to risk the
alienation Of the Adopted Citizens at the Pres
idcntial contest. IL is perfectly certain that
the term Of probation required Of immigrants
By cur Naturalization Laws never can, never
will be extended. The single effect of keeping
up the Native party is to give consequence and
position 10 3 few individuals at che expense of
setting tens Of thousands of Adopted Citizens
agairst the Country's true interests and their
OWN II cannot be that the majority of those
who have been Natives wiz consent to be used
for these purposes much longer
We do not seek to disguise the peril which
TIE heedlessness and follies OF Cur friends in
Pennsylvania las created Their ad7crsaries
vii Of course shout, exult, hurrah and burn
powder, as IT Is their perfect right 70 do. Their
ccme frcIn the i.st has been TO bully. bet and
brag the fainting voters into belief that
Pierce must be chosen, and thereby secure
their end II the canvass be spirited and the
vote all polled, Scott must be chosen and ",
think they know il. But if they can Brighten
a tenth of our voters into torpdity, they msv
perhaps outnumber the residue To avert this
disaster, the most strenuous, concerted and ian.
mediate exertions are requisite We believe
the Wings Of Pennsylvania are aware of thsir
