Pennsylvania Election.


After having given up the elections in
Pennsylvania next Tuesday, Democrats
have been suddenly inspired with hopes of
success. We hear that letters have been
received in this city by Democrats, declar-
ing that arrangements have been made by
which it is hoped the party will be saved
from the consequences of an entire route
What those arrangements are, we have not
been informed. We learn from the Wash
ington Organ of the Cd inst, that ftfy
thousand dollars had been assessed upon the
Democracy of that city to help carry Penn
sylyania, and that the several States had
been called upon to swell the corruption
fund; but it appears that it is not altogeth-
er upon the power of money that the DEM
ocracy rely. The Organ AYERS that
The whole State of Pennsylvania is parcelled
ont into sections, and into each section one of
the faithful" is sent to bargain with every
prominent anti Buchanan leader, that the
Democrats shall cast their Uotes for the anti
buchanan candidates for auditor General
and SUrUeyor General ifthe anti Buchandnites
UiU sustain the buchanan candidate for Canal
Commissioner
The sham Democrats have ascertained that
unless some such intrigue can be accomplished
in Pennsylvania, on the l4th of this month the
sohoIe Union ticket will be elected, and Buch-
anan will be shown so weak, in his own State,
that he will be promptly abandoned by the
whole SOUTH But if by surrender of the
sba 6 ~;
General and Surveyor General, they can secure
the election of the Buchanan Canal Commits
sioner, the sham Democrats will claim that the
contest was made upon that officer, and that
his election manifesis- the strength of Buchan-
an in Pennsylvania! And thus these wire
workers expect to fool the Union men of that
State into this trap-and to gull the South
with the idea that Buchanan is strong in Penn
sylvania, because, forsoOth, the Buchanan can
didste for Canal Commissioner has thus been
elected!
We have it from men who are members of
the sham Democratic Clubs-men who hold
Office under this Observation-Disclosures who
know what they say, but who despise the base
trickery of their associates, that this is the
game these political tricksters are trying to
play out in Pennsylvania!
And this is the atrocious plot by which
the Buchanan Democracy hope to do some
thing to break the force of defeat in the
elections next week, and to prevent the
whole South from deserving their ranks
and uniting upon the national American
candidates. But they are playing a deep
er and more prohigate game even than this
We have information from Philadelphia
that they are CoLoNIzING VOTERS FROM OTHER
STATES IN PENNSYLVANIA, AND EXPECT BY A
WIDESPREAD SYSTEM OF PIPELAYING AND
FRAUDS UPON THE BALLOT BOX to save them
selves from humiliation. These are the
means resorted to by the party which re-
lies upon the virtue and intelligence of the
people for success! These are the arrange
mentS which have been made, and which
prompted Senator Brodhead to write to
the faithful at Washington that the "battle
was fought and won" in Pennsylvania, for
Mr.. Buchanan. These are the arrange
ments which have given encouragement
within the past few days to the intriguers
and managers here.
