Inc following statistics of the last two cleo
tons IN Pennsylvania win show the relative
position of parties in that State. In 1854 Mr..
Pollock, supported by the Whigs. and Amer
leans, was elected Governor bv the following
vote = Pollock 20l ZOOS, Bigler tDemocratl
l6l,OOl Pollock's majority 81. 0O7. At the
same election the vote for Supreme Judge, the
Wings and Americans supporting separate
candidates, was as follows :--Smyser tWhig)
1871, Black (DemocraD l67 .OlO, Laird
eAmerlcan) l20,576. In 1866 there was a
fusion OF the opposition on Canal Commits
sioner, but 1t was not complete, and the Dem
ocraic candidate was elected. The vote then
was = Nicholson CFusion) l49, 745, Plummer
lDemocrat) l6l, 2Sl, Williamson (Independ-
ent Republican, 1926, Cleayer independent
American) 1906, Henderson CWhigJ 2203,
Morton (Amercian) 67S -Plummer's plurali :
ty over Nicholson 1886 but il there had
been perfect union, the opposition would
have had 27l7 majority
The result of the October election has gem
orally afforded a sure indication of the result
for President. Thus in 1913 the Wings car
RED the State election by about 800 plurality.
Taylor obtained $4,000 plurality. In 1852
the Democrats carried the State election by
$1,000 plurality, and the State gave Pierce a
plurality of 10000. So it viii be the present
year. If the union ticket carries the State by
10000 majority, we can safely count upon a
majority twice as large against the admins
tration III November. There is one element
operating against the union ticket which
Fremont will not have to encounter. That
ticket will not receive the support of the ma
jorily of the German voters, because fits con-
nection with the American party, but thou
sands Of Germans who will now vote with the
sham Democracy on State officers, will cast
their votes for Fremont. Whatever the meas
ure of success therefore which attends the
union ticket, will be largely increased in No
vember, if, as is anticipated, union electoral
ticket is formed.

The sham Democrats of Virginia have dis

ODE.
One morning of she first sal fall,
Poor Adam aud his bride
Sat in the shade OF Eden's wall
But on the outer slde.
They heard the air I'VE them famed,
A light st, on the swari.
An they saw before them stand
The angel of tn Lord!
Behind them smiling in tie morn,
Their forfeit gaFden lay;
Before them, wild gilh rock and thorn
The desert stretched away.
She, Blushing in her fig leaf auit
For the chsJs galh OF old;
He signing Ger his bitter fruit
For Eden's drapes Of gold.
"Arse" he said, ''whv lock behind
When hope is all before,
Ard patient hand and willing mind
four loss may yet restores
d" leave with you a spell whose power
Can make a desert glad,
And call around you fruit and flower
AS fair as Eden hat'.
" I clothe your hands with power to lift
The curse from of your soil;
Your very doom shall seem gift,
Your loss gain through Toll,
Go, cheerful as the humming bees
To labor as to play"
While cleaning over Eden's trees
The angel passed away.
The pilgrims of the world went forth
Obedient to the word,
And found where'er they titled the earth
A garden of the Lord
Once more, oh, white-winged Angel, stand,
Where man still pines and grieves,
And lead through Toll to Eden's land,
New Adams and new Ewes!

The EIeclions.

We present, this morning, all the returns
received from Pennsylvania, of the result of
the election on the I4th, received by telegraph
up to four o'clock this morning. They are
not as favorable as we could wish, or as we
expected, but we are not without hope that
the Republicans have carried the State by
some four or five thousand majority. But
few of the Western counties, where our

The Boston Journal, which is generally we'll

The people are heartily sick of the trading politi
ticians, and will repudiate them in nearly every

Colonel Dewitt does not stand the remotest
chance of reelection. He declined nomina-
tion, declaring that he would, under no circum-
stances, be a candidate. The people will help
him keep his word. And as for the Republican
ticket for senators ard county officers, it will
sweep over all opposition like new broom Our
friends of the Journal need not borrow any trou-

county. 1t can sustain the cause and the candi.
dates of the party of freedom, without hiring or
buying the support Of the unprincipled political
traders and wire-pullers, which, in nearly every
c1pnty in the State, have trodden the party under
their feet, and roll up a much heavier vote for
Fremont and Dayton than could have been by
any means secured, through a coalition with par
ty whose leaders can be brought up to sustain
those candidates only by the spoils of office and
the selfish hopes of immediate personal reward.
