day for the election in Pennsylvania, when a
governor for three years, a canal commissioner
for three years, Judge Of the supreme court,
twenty-five members Of congress, Legislature,
and county officers are to be chosen. 1t is, of
course, an election Of great importance in its
national bearing, as well as in view Of state
interests. Of the members of the present
congress l6 are democrats and whigs.-
Eleven Of the sixteen democrats voted for the
Nebraska BILL That measure, however, does
not appear to be SO much question in the

which the democracy is arrayed with a bold

are creeping in the grass, begging know
nothing and abolition support.

by the slave power, on the very first opportu-
nifty, the solemn compact forced upon our
fathers by its representatives, whereby the
territories now known as Nebraska and Kan
sas were cousecrated forever to freedom, has
absoIved Us from all compacts or agreements
outside the federal constitution, with refer
ence TO slavery, and we now take our stand
distinctly on the principle that all territory Of
the United States must henceforth be free ter
ritory, and all states hereafter must come in
as free states
The New York Herald says thus the New
York wing party, with its free soil and aboli-
ton mercenaries, is now broadly before the
people as the coalition anti-slavery party
No more slave territory, no more slave states !;
and the merging Of all other party considera-
tions in the ''sacred cause ofhuman freedom, Y
is its platform. Disunion is, of course, the
ultimate object in view, and the success Of the
Seward programme will bring US into the high
road to disunion There will be no escape

HE Cars REPLY. The answer Of Russia
has been officially notified by Austria to the
representatives Of the Western Powers. The
Independence Belize gives the substance Of the
answer mainly that Russia expresses surprise
that Austria should have transmitted such pro-
posals to ST. Petersburg, unaccompanied by
any concessions on the part Of the Western
Powers. Russia therefore rejects them. The
Gar infinitely regrets that he has not been able
to accept the last overtures made BY Austria.
He considers that lie has made every concession
compatible with the honor of Russia. and il
only remains for him to DO the same as his en-
emies, that il to try the eventualities Of war
IN order to arrive al some solid basis of negOtIa-
tions.
The Emperor Nicholas has directed his
general-n-chlef to pass the Pruth with his
troops from strategetic motives and Russia
will keep herself upon the defensive within her

offered to her. The Emperor On his sides will
AVOID increasing the complication of the war,
