The Result in Pennsylvania and Ohio.

As usual, says the Sandusky Register, the
Locofoco papers are claiming Ohio and Penn
sylVania as certain for their Presidential can
didate, because, at the State election, their
votes have been cast in favor of their State
Ticket A moments reflection will show
that such result does not necessarily follow /;
and further, that tits not even probable. In
reference to the result in PENNSYLVANIA, the
Cincinnati Gazette calls attention to the fact
that in 194S, Governor Johnston, (Whig)
"was only elected Governor in Pennsylvania
by the meagre majority of 297 votes, while
the Democratic Canal Commissioner had A.
500 majority. Three weeks afterwards, at
the Presidential election, General Taylor car
ried the State by Is 500, showing Whig
gain of S,4O0.over that for State officers on
ly 2l days before. No intelligent Politician
will pretend that Gen. Scott is not a much
stronger Candidate in Pennsylvania than
ever General Taylor was, and the apparent
present increase in the vote for Judge and
Canal Commissioner, in that State, is no evil
dence of party strength there, as it will be
seen in many counties where the Judge and
Canal Commissioners have majorities varying
from 800 to 500, the Whig Candidates for
HCl8OCES VI Tie 44c0iStftluTe hlO COulliy OlIl-
GERS have been elected" Another eircum-
stance has operated strongly in favor of the
opposition in the recent State election in PEN
nsylvania. Judge Woodward, the Locofoco
Candidate for the Supreme JuGgeship. is a
strong Native American, and received the un-
animous support of the Native American
party in that Stale. Our opponents therefore,
owe the election, certainly, of one of their
Candidates, and probably of both to the CO.
operation and assistance of their Native
American allies. We hope this fact will not
be lost sight of, in November, by our natura-
lised citizens, Our adversaries are welcome
to all the capital they can make out Of a
triumph gained by such coalition.
In Ohio. the returns. as far as received,
show large decrease in the Locofoco MAORI

that full vote has not been poled; which, as
the past has shown, always operates more to
the disadvantage of the Wings. than of the
Locos. 1t is also well known that many, who
at the State election, voted for the Loco
nominees, to whom they felt bound by local
ties and organizations, will cast their votes in
November for Scott. The Old Hero has many
friends among the Opposition, who viii give

The recent result, in this State. although
not yet definitely ascertained. abounds in en-
couraging indication, that if the full Whig
strength is brought to the polls, in November
--an object which the effort at the State cleo

vote of Ohio will certainly be cast for Scott
Let every Wing remember this important
truth. There are, in this State. nearly $4,000
School Districts; and since 1874. there has

two Wings in District have not voted
