THE ASPECT OF PENNSYLVA.
MA.
We should not be at all surprised to find the
October local elections in Pennsylvania Tesnltin
the defeat OF the Democratic nominations Nor
would such result at all impair our confidence
ia the success of the Buchanan electoral ticket
for Pennsylvania in November. Its very or
binary occurrence IN that State to witness such
apparent Inconsistencies because in the first
place. it is a common thing to introduce any
and every species of political coalition into the
State contest, and in the next place, the local
feeling on such occasion oyerwhelnls all other,
leaving the Presidential struggle to stand for it
self upon its own grounds. These causes viii
operate with unusual actiTIty at the polls in
October, and hence orr conclusions. The Thig
party has there as well as elsewhere, re-bapti-
zed itself Republican and adopted the banner OF
abolitionism. The old natiYist party, having
committed itself to ACKNOWLEDGMENT, and
thence adopted the title Of Americans, has made
it psint for some years to keep up its organic
zation in Pennsylvania merely for the purpose
of PLAYING into the hands of the anti-Democra-
tic forces. 1t has invariably transferred itssup
port with special exceptions, to the Wing tick
Ct, the conditions being the incorporation there
upon of certain of their nominees. The same
course has been pursued the present season,
and there is little doubt that, in the October
State election, every political element of HOSTILE
ty to the Democratic local nominations will be
absorbed by tine Republican tickets and, as
matter of course, if those tickets don't triumph
pretty generally, the fact may be set down as
next to a miracle IN the history OF Pennsylvania
politics
Bat the "Rcpublicans" have not been so for
tunate in inducing the Americans to cOalesce
with them on the Presidential question. They
certainly made the most wonderful efforts to that
end They got up a bogus American conven-
ton in this city. They packed it with abolition
lists and Wings. They placed cx-Mayor Conrad,
of Philadelphia, author OF Jack Catlc, regu-
lar and rabid Wing, abolition, Maine-aw, I'M
scrupulous politician, in the chair; and they put
Ex-Governor Johnston, another violent WING,
though by no means pattern of sobriety, iii
nomination for Vice-President The neXtmovc
was to induce the genuine americans to accept
Johnston for DODelsOn to secure Pennsylvania;
and had this fLse succeeded, the next would have
been to substitute Fremont for Fillmore, by sac
rificing Dayton. But the Americans were not
willing to be sold out in this manner, like sheep
in the SHAMELESS, to the highest bidder. And al
though the Herald in view of the money sent to
Pennsylvania by the Republicans" observes,
in vocation Of the non-remunerattve results -
lit is well known that Pennsylvania and New
Jersey are politically the most corrupt States
in the Union. In their local legislation men
are put fsp for purchase precisely Ike cattle an

It is true that Frederick Douglass, the col
ored traitor, who denouuccs orr Constitution
and government at every step, has taken the
stump" for Fremont, and may be semitic Penn
syIvania to influence the ABOLITION vote. 1t is
also said that Mrs. Cove Nichols, the "frce-love
lecturer" who holds in ridiculc the sanctity Of
the marriage tic, spurns Mt every idea OF reveal
ed religion, and denies the authority 6f any law
to restrain ,nen and women in the qualification
of the most unholy desires, is publicly engaged
in advocating the claims of Col Fremont, and
might be sent in to assist Mr.. Douglass in his
work The Rev. Mr.. Beecher has openly an
nounced from the pulpit his resolution TO unite
the interests of church and state, by abandon
ing his clerical duties ito use his own wor'!s)-

Phillips, the Kansas correspondent Of Che Tn
bune assures us,J ''HHtI utter tic election" so
as to aid the Republican party IN maintaining
'shrek for freedom in aid of Col. Fremont
OF course this scheme, too, is designed to ope-
rate on Pennsylvania, and Col. Lane, with his
two thousand Free Suite warriors, received his
cue from the Herald and Tribune to oppose Gov.
Geary's pacific movements, lest quiet in Kansas
might cut oil, too soon, the "Republican" hopes.
But, notwithstanding this vast conspiracy to I'LL
the country with mischievOus agitation, to up
root the whole social and religious principles of
the community under the combined lead of ne
gro traitors free lover scnsualiSts, FouTieTitc in
idels, clIurch-miilitant QuiXOttes and temper
ancc fanatics we do not believe in the possibility
Of weaving the State of Pennsylvania from its
first love and converting 1T into great hot-bcd
of sectional strife, blasphemous irrclgion aud Ii
centiouS amOurs, for the triumph OF tree-thlnk-
ing, frce-lovc, and Fremont.
Pennsylvania is too thoroughly Democratic
to be considered doubtful in such a crisis. The
case is too plainly presented to her TO deceive
her this time in her clcarsightcdBcss She gave
the Wings a majority of 353 for Harrison in 1870,
because the extraordinarily bad times were uni
vcrSally attributed to the course ofAIr. Van Blu
rem, and because Mr.. Van Buren, himself never
was popular in the State In 1913 she gave her
vote for Gen Taylor, because he was procIai'n-
ed to he Democrat, and because she was orisi-
nally in favor of nominating him as such. in
all other cases when not subjected to such de-
ceptions, she has always exhibited herself zeal
ously in favor of Democratic principles and
Democratic candidates. She gave a majority OF
1000 for Van Buren, in 1910. She gave one Of
eleven Thousand for Pierce in 1852. In Buchan-
an, she has an additional reason for maintaining
her position. He is her ''favorite SON." She
has been seeking his nomination for many years.
She has never before been found with so popu-
lar Presidential candidate. Mr. Buchanan is
one of whose commanding talents. OF whose
statesmanship she is honestly proud; and it is
not likely, therefore, that she will throw away
such an opportunity to distinguish herself in
distinguishing the man of her exclusive choice.
0fcourse it is just possible for this motley ar
ray ofopposing banners, if united, to overthrow
all calculations. But, we repeat that while we
are not at all persuaded the State election will
result in favor of the Democratic ticket, we feel
a perfect confidence in the SUCCESS of Bucahnan
in November, and nothing but the evidence Of
the balot-box would be able 90 persuade us to
the contrary.
