now arrayed against them, yet, having unchanged
faith in their own purity, the Democrats Of Penn
sylyania have marched undaunted against their
naughty foe, and have secured triumph, under
the circumstances with scarcely parallel in po-
litcal conflicts. The thiriyscpea thousand ma
JOriiy against il has not only been overcome in a
single year, but the most reliable returns of the
late election show the election Of its State cand-
date by a majority Of upwards of ten thousand
roies
But, in addition 10 the triumph secured to the
Democracy Of the Old Keystone, by the election
of Canal Commissioner which exhibits its strength
in the State, the Democratic party has elected
majority Of members to both branches Of the
Legislature. The Senate, which has had small
Opposition majority for some years, has been re-
generated, and will be now in the hands of the
Democracy. The election of the distinguished
and veteran patriot and Democrat, WILLIAM
WILKINS, in the Allegany district, and the ster-
ling young Democrat, of York, WILLIAM H.
WELSH, settles that question. The ma iorty
in the House of Representatives is not yet ascer-
tained-but enough is known to give the assn
rance that it will he large enough for all g useful
purposes"
We can, therefore, congratulate the brilliant
galaxy of Democrats, who occupy places in both
Houses OF Congress, upon the important fact,
that the Senate of the United States will receive
another member from Pennsylvania worthy of
the keystone Of the Federal arch" We, then,
| say, ''Well done, stout old Pennsylvania You
have Just given us, by your recent conduct, a
| glimpse at the approaching good time coming
when Democrats of the North and South can
take each other by the hand with cordial conf
| dence, and hearts swelling with gratitude.

"HAVING SWALLOWED IN THE ROLL,
I'LL ZEN ROLL IN THE SWALLOW"

A facetious though not prolific cockney whom
Buwer has made famous. after breakfast, and be-
fore getting into the Swallow omnibus, uttered
the above All must admit the wittcism to be
good one. The eockney thought it 50 good that
he repeated it erery morning, and, indeed, it
found its way into his obituary.
The National Intelligence of Thursday last in
accounting for the result Of the elections in Penn
sylvana, has the following:
"This result, which was not unexpected by US,
is ascribed to various causes by the Philadelphia
Journals. They say that not only did thousands
Of roters throughout the Slate absent themselves from
the polls, but" SC.
We are afraid the hieiigencer is falling into
the habit of repetition.
We think we have seen the above in the
columns Of our respectable contemporary more
than once.

The North american and United States Gazette
of the 10th instant, has the following:
The Election.

Meagre and imperfect as the returns re-
ceived ut the hour at which we put our paper to
press, it is not difficult to discern the result of
the election Yet that result cannot, for certain
obvious reasons, be regarded the triumph Of the
Democratic party, The defeat Of The Opposition,
in far as the distinctive political principles of
either were concerned. Though it was NOT clear
before it is manifest nop, that a number of acct
dental and irregular issues controlled a vote
which, third and casting vote in a close con-
test, was sufficient TO determine the event The
chief of those issues the liquor question, and
the league organized in opposition to the present
stringent law of the State upon the subject has
carried the day.
