The eyes Of all politicians are turnedupon
the keystone State. LIS almost certain to
be the controling power in the election of the
next President, and therefore every move
made and every change effected becomes Of
the utmost importance. That the Republ-
cans are daily gaining strength, there cannot
exist doubt in the mind of observers Of
passing events. That our readers may un-
derstand how the battle is going, we give
some Of the more recent indications. f''
Hon. Charles Gilpin, formerly Mayor Of
Phi adelphia, an old line Wing, strongly
counted on by the Fillmore and Buchanan
men, is out for Fremont and Dayton.
Buta short time since the Fillmore men
claimed to have more papers in Pennsylva-
mia than the Republicans. Now they have
about thirty, while ninety-three support the
Republican nominees, and the change still
goes on. We cannot take up space with the
names Of the papers that have recently en-
rolled themselves on the side Of freedom.
Hon w. D. Lewis, late Collector of lhe
port of Philadelphia, has followed Henry
Horn in The support Of Fremont and Dayton.
John G. Kunkle has been re-rominated for
Congress from his district in. Pennsylvania,
by Convention of all shades of opposition
men. A letter in mentioning the fact says
2" We have two Fremont papers in this
county, (Daurhin) with large circulations,
and Fillmore none. In Lebanon county,
part of this Congressional district two pr.
pers are published, which preferred Fillmore
some time since, but they have both hosted
the Fremont flag within the last two weeks. -
Letters received at Washington, since the
recent State elections, state that in Lancas-
Ter county, about one thousand changes have
taken place favorable to the Republicans
We might give many additional facts, but
these are deemed sufficient to satisfy the most
incredulous that the Republican forces are
being rapidly augmented in the Keystone
tate. The Union of the south upon = Bu-
chanan. as evidenced in the recent elections,
will tend to unite all opponents to slavery
extension under one banner, while the other
forces in the North will divide upon Fillmore
and Buchanan. -....... ... s,..r.s
Viewing the contest in this light which
the facts so to sustain, the prospects of car
rying Pennsylvania aro resolving into a GER
tainty that admits of no dispute.

aay~ There is a report in circulation to the
effect that the Republican candidate for Sheriff,
Mr.. C. w. Norton, will support Mr.. Fillmore
for the Presidency. This we know to be erro-
neous, as we have frequently heard Mr.. ~ ex-
press his determination to support Fremont,
both before and since our county convention,
and we should like TO see the man who has
heard him express contrary opinion. No man
on the Republican ticket will support Fremont
more cordially than Mr.. Norton .-..

In the Daily Toledo Commercial, of the
14th inst. we find the proceedings of the re-
cent democratic county convention, held at
Bowling Green. Gilbert Beach, E-q, pre-
sided, and James Bloom acted as secretary.
The most important thing done by the con-
vention was the adoption Of the following
resolutions, which were presented by j. N,
Westcott, chairman Of the committee on reso-
lulions:
ResOlced, That Popular Sovereignty, or
the right of self-government, is the inherent
and inaenable right of every people and lies
at the very foundation of democracy; this
right belongs, as we'll to the citizens of Ter
ritories as TO those Of States and denial
of that right, or any attempt to limit or
abriIge the same agans. their consent, is to
re assert the doctrine Of colonial inferiority
and dependence, against which our revolu.
tionary lorefathers reyolted, fought and con-
quered. - .
RfSolge1, That confidence in the inteli-
gence, virtue and patriotism of the people,
and in their disposition to do right, has always
distinguished the Democratic party from their
opponents and hence their Willingness that
all matters, however important, even ques-
tioas involving lie and death-freedom and
slavery-should remain where they are un-
doubtedly safest, in the hands Of those i'm
mediatcly intnrested-the people.
/ ReSol0eI, That that narrow bigotry which
proscrbes men on account of their religion,
or attempts to disfranchse them on account
Of their birth place, finds no place, either iu
I the creed, or in the hearts of Democrats
capability-honesty-patriotism-being the
true passports to popular favor and dtstinc-
lion,
Resoyoea, That we heartily endorse the
nominations, as well as the platform, of the
Cincinnati Democratic Convention that IN
James Buchanan we recognize the upright
: honest ciuzen-the sound and able champion
of democratic princi pies the eminent and
patriotic statesman;-alsc in John c. Breck.
I enridge, we recognize nomination pre-emi
nentiy Ut 10 b. made and we predict for botf
the unanimous support of the Democracy 0
The nation, as well as triumphant election
We hope that every man who endorses th'
present administration, the Cincinnati plat
form, DC, &c, will vote for the nominees o
that convention. Ii the vote is confined t.
this test it will truly be all on one side, fo
we don't believe that one out of every ten
among the Wood county Democrats, woul(
! sanction the sentiments Of the resolution.
The following are the nominations made
For Commissioner-M. Tracy.
Sherih-Lorenzo Borden. @
Becorder-S, Besancon. ...
Coroner-G. L. Avery.
