PENNsYLvANIA.-We make the following extract
from private letter, written by leading Pennsyl
vania Democrat: 81 believe that shall carry the
general election for State officers, in this month"; by
majority of from seven 10 thirteen thousand, and
the Presidential election in November by a
majority of from $4,000 10 100000 If we should
even lose the State election, of which have no APP
prehension, think that we would still carry the
Presidential election by ority of at least 5000"
These we know to te the opinions of gentleman
whose calculations are reliable, and his facilities
of obtaining information upon which 10 base them,
are fully equal to those of any man in Pennsylvania.
There is no questioning the importance inev' tably
attaching 10 the results of the several State elections
to take place Tomorrow but there is this marked DIFF
ference to be noted If the Democrats sing handed,
carry Pennsylvania against the now perfectly united
opposition, the game will be up, and nothing can
prevent that and many other Northern States going
for Buchanan and Breckinridge in November; it, on
the other hand the Democrats should even be de-
feated by this united opposition, it will decide moth
ing at ALL since ii is hardly possible that the same
union could be effected in November, or brought 10
bear with anything like the same effect although we
know that it is contemplated, and that the Fremont
ers defer bringing out any electoral ticket, and the

Fimorites let theirs remain purposely incomplete, to
be ready for combinations or bargains after tn result
of the State election shall have been known.

Nz- The Herald of Saturday has certainly very
strange article, one which cannot but surprise most
of its readers who are capable of being surprsed-
The assertion that Professor Hedrck is or ever was,
a prominent and influential Democrat, will certainly
be news to all the world and the rest of mankind
We don't pretend to know very much, Blu; we do
know who are the prominent and influential Demo
Gratis of the State and we also know that Professor
Hedrick is not one, if, indeed, he has ever been
Democrat In an editorial experience in ;his State
beginning in 1847 and continued up to the present
time, we never once heard of Professor HedEick's
name as a Democrat, much less prominent or infu
entail one We doubt much whether he ever voted
a Democratic ticket in his life.
Again, the Herald says that Van Buren, ticket
was gotten up in this State in 1848, by prominent
Democrats, regular supporters of the so-called Demo-
cratic party. Now had they been regular supporters
of the Democratic party they could not have gotten
up Van Buren, electoral ticket, for the regular sup
porters of the Democratic party went everywhere for
General Cass Will the Herald favor its readers with
the names of the Prominent Democrats to whom it
alludes We can place our hands upon The records
of the period alluded to- and show that the Herald is
wholly i'll error and its article is calculated 10 mis-
lead lis readers for the SIMPLE reason that its state
ments are totally at variance with the facts of the
case, andhave no foundation.
Professor Hedrick, F. P. Blair, and other Southern
traitors, who attack the repeal of the Missouri Com
promise, do no more than what the whole body O
MIR. Filmores supporters are doing every day. Ane
as fer Reeder and all that crowd at the North whC
have left the Democratic party because OF its devo
ton 10 Southern rights, it is certainly wrong tor tn
Herald to say anything hard about them, for the!

Pennsylvania Ohio, Indiana and Illinois
Every day, almost, we hear of men OF additions
notions, who can no Logger support the Democrat

0a- The political excitement in Pennsylvania is
very great, and will continue TO increase if increase
be possible, until after the election of the 14th, and
then it will not cease, but be kept up until after the
Presidential election on the 4th of November. Why
is that while our friends the friends of the Const

lively apathetic. This is wrong, and we warn the
Democrats and those noble old line Wings who have
come out for Buchanan, that it is unsafe. We, too,
must be up and doin give must be prepared, every
man of US, to go to the polls.

HORRIBLE STATE OF AFFAIRS IN AFRICA The

in the Honolulu Religious Journal he furnishes
picture exceeding in horrors anything we had vet be-

PandemOnIum customs as those which he records
"Scarce any of their bloody customs have been
abandoned since they first became known TO Europeans.
They will even pave their court yards, palaces AMI
even the streets market places of their villages or

buchered before the arrival of his successor,
which put stop TO it, only to increase the flow OF

remaining living wives were buried alive amid dan
cling, singing, and bewailns, the noise of muskels

through their cheeks The executioners struggle
for the bloody office, while the victims look on and
