THE GAME OF BRAG.

The black republicans have boosted SO long and SO
loud in regard to their overwhelming strength in West
Pennsylvania, that many timid people ont of that
State have permitted themselves 70 be influenced by this
stale electioneerng trick TO greater extent than they
would perhaps be willing to acknowledge 1t is, after all
but political game Of brag che hands win show in
November next The following bold Hbrag sput forth by
the Albany Evening Journal
Fifty dousand IL now the lowest figure which the
Western PennsylvSnan willing to put the majority for
Fremont with which they expect TO the Allegheny
mountains The BUCCANEERS in the eastern part Of the State
cannot begin to overcome 1t"
II is fair to presume that the papers published in west
orn Pennsylvania well posted up in regard to the
political sentiments OF the people OF that part Of the State
as the editor OF the Journal possibly be Let hear
what they have say in regard to this fifty thousand
black republican majority We quote from the Psburg
Post:
"Lot no man, for a moment, suppose that we have q
shadow OF misgiving 10 the Of the democratic
State ticket II have felt any anxiety this sub
jec we feel none We feel thrice confident that
shall triumph over this coalition, and beat the sionists
handsomely and when do, beg all friends Of the
Union 10 remember that the democratic party ha, beaten the
combined and drilled forces OF the abotionist the Fillmore
men, the freedom shreksrs the Fremoners, the Kansas
beeders the nothngs in grand oongOmested
mass Of corruption"
The Pittsburg Union also says;
"Ir LOOKS wELL-Conversations last evening with num-
Der OF gentlemen from the surrounding counties who IN
attendance State fair satisfy that the prospects Of
the democracy in the western counties in reference the
coming elections cheering. Prom Greene, Wash.
ington Fayets, westmoreland, Somerset Cambria and
Blair the indicate that the democratic win
largely increased over that Of last year"
correspondent Of the paper at Ebensburg writes
on the I'D Instant

majority for the State ticket 80 per cent last fall She
cannot give less than 900 majority and may 20 ZOO We
,av - our sister counties, do likewise
owe have repeatedly challenged the opposition to bring
on their big guns and mountain boys In discussion
They dare not.
"Recoect Cambria good for 900 for the State ticket
These statements fully corroborated by private ad
wees from western Pennsylvania. We bsve seen num-
Der Of estimates in regard to the probable vote Of the west
ern counties prepared by gentlemen whose opinions and
predictions entitled to the highest consideration In
Of these estimates have we seen greater conoe
sion to the oppositon-end we mean by opposition the
combined vote Of the black republicans and know-notb
ingsthan majority Of thousand for that portion Of
the State west Of the Aeghanies Two OF the estimates
put the figures as low thousand FIVE hundred
with such majority, a majority twice as large the
black republicans win attempt to the Aleghanies
to meet the gathering swelling, overwhelming columns Of
the democracy Of eastern and northern Pennsylvania
