PENNsYLyANlA-The Boston Journal gives
the following good reasons why Pennsylvania
may he looked upon as sure for Fremont at
the November election, however the State
election has gone-on which, as yet, there is
no certainty.
In the first place the Quaker vote was not brought
out In any considerable number, which vote will be
given to Fremont in November. How large this
vote may be in the state have no means Of judg-
ing, but it is quite numerous.
Secondly, there is a large German Fremont vote,
which was thrown against the Union ticket on sc
count of its American odor. This estimate
high AS $4,000. We know that in Pittsburg alone,
tncTc were uNc nuuurcd tcrluau voters canNasscu,
who were expected to vote aganstthe union ticket,
but who will give their support to Fremont
Thirdly, there is reason to believe that Demo-
Gratis have largely increased their vote by impCrta-
tions from other states of men who will be wanted
nt home on the day Of the Presidential election,
and who consequently will not figure there in Bu-
chanau's vote. How largely these frauds may have
been perpctrated We have no means of Judging. The
Democrats have control Of one hundred and sixty
Of the hundred aud niuety-fve election pre-

used, the opportunities for fraud ample. We
believe that the Pennsylvania electoral law requires
prolonged residence in a city or ward to the
privilege Of voting. The payment of a tax is evil
dence Of qualification, md inscriptions may be
made upon the assessors books until within about
ton days of tho election.
Fourthy there is reason to believe that large
portion Of the Fillmore vote was actually thrown
against the union ticket. We learn from the Tele-
graph that benjamin F. Butler Of Lowell, the most
knowing and influential man in the Buchanan
ranks in Ma aSsachusetts, and one Of the delegates
to the Convention at Cincinnati, said yester riay,
whilo speaking Of the Pennsylvania election, that
it would be found that tr,ntV hiotNaHf mcuL'rs ot

u2',d the BurhlH1n State ilrkCt We have u conir-
nation of this statement from the lips Of gentle
who is recently from Pennsylvania, and who
heard leading American declare at Lancaster,
within week, that three fiesn H9UvspR iW-
Hor' Am'rcaus rhp r0s pi,dg'R 10 cm the union

Taking all these facts into consideration, we are
warranted in making the assertion that while the
Democrats cannot increase, and may materially di-
minish their vote next month, the Fremont vote
will be larger than the union vote, after max
ing due allowance for the detection Of the Fillmore
Americans. There are tens Of thousands Of voters
in Penusy sylvanil who indifferent, or hostile to
thc union ticket in this election, who are kcenly
alive to the issues which are before the nation The
Democrats, knowing that their cause was growing
To but-p ban and
this election. They have spent money TO enor-
nous amount, and have completely exhausted all
their expedients and polled their heaviest VOTE

they drink. The most corrupt ofall practices-that
