A great discrepancy seems to exist as to the
democratic majority in Pennsylvania. The fol-
lowing is the most reliable.

turns of votes in the city, show 36 038 for Scott
democrat, for Canal Commissioner; and 81, ,604

CoLUMBUs-Oct. l6th.-Messrs Groesbeck
Pendleton, Miller Cox, Cockerel, and Hall, the
democratic candidates for Congress in the lst,
3D. 9th, 10th, 18th, and 10th Districts are elected
and dispatches indicate the success of Messrs.
Pendleton and Lawrence dem, in the 9Th and
10Th Districts. The Medill and Burns Districts,
are not in as yet.
CINuNNATI-Oct 16th-The Gazette, SAYS
that the Republican majority in Ohio is 80, 900,
and that the American vote is less than 10000.
INDIANA.-Indianopol Friday, Oct I7th-
The election of the Hon. a. P. Willard, DEM
ocratc candidate for Governor is conceded.
The Republicans have majority in the
State Senate and the Democrats in the
House. The Denis. elected 5 congress
men, and the Reps. 3 certain. Three
Districts are still doubtful The Hart
ford Times had special dispatch from
indianapolis on Wednesday, saying, that 8
Democratic Congressman were elected in
Indiana. This would be gain of 6.
LATER.-Special dispatches to the Bos-
ton Post, dated Philadelphia Oct 18th,
3 ? M. says: Majority certainly not less
than 5000, probably 900. Is Congress
men elected. Democratic majority in the
Legislature decisive, and this against all
the factions. The greatness of the battle
field Of Pennsylvania, and the splendor of
the Democratic triumph can hardly be ex-
aggerated. We have nothing to qualify
in our comments, and nothing to utter ex-
cept only, the majority This, is hardly
ascertained; we have majority in the
House of Representatives, Ii Members of
Congress, and majority in the popular
vote.
Great and even fearful as was the ex
element, the election passed in peaceful
and quiet manner, and all the parties
looked to the ballot box as the great arbi-
ter In commenting on this fact, the
Pennsylodnian says: We doubt much if
the same number of votes, amid so much
intense feeling, have ever been polled
anywhere, with so few exhibitions of angry
contentious, or disorderly conduct.
KANsAs.-General Whitfield had been
elected Delegate to Congress from Kansas
Territory, by the Pro-slavery party His
election was unanimous By a preamble
and resolutions, which were adopted by the
citizens of Florence, it appears the Free
State party regarded the election law as
invalid, and of no effect; and they conse-
quently refused to vote.
DEMOCRATIC VICTORIES result
of the elections held thus far in the seve-
raj States, for the next Congressman, show
gain of forty-two members in ten States,
for the Democracy. If the elections yet
to he held result as in 1854 when the on
position carried everything their own way,
the House will stand in the Thirty-ffth
Congress, 121 Democrats to 113 Opposi-
ton. The prospect is that the Democrats
will secure working majority over all 9TH
ers.
