The Vote in PCHnsylvania-Dem
Ocratic MaiCritY 1000.

There con no longer be any doubt of the
result of the election in Pennsylvania. Our
opponents, of the Fremont and Fillmore
party, have bargained away their principles
and bought and sold each other--have mar
ried aud re- married, but all in vain. They
are beaten at every point; their ranks are
shattered and broken, and terror and dlsmay
fills their camp. They are not only beat
en-, but worse than all, they, by corrupt
and unnatural union, have lost their own
self-respect and the respect of all honest and
honorable men. They are conquered and may
never hope to rise again. The old Demo
cratic battle-ship, which has ridden the wa
ters of the political sea since the days whet
Jefferson was her heImsman, still t1oat
proudly in Pennsylvania, bearing aloft th'
stars and stripes OF our country.
The Democratic majority in Pennsylva
MA will, when the official vote is counted out
stand at about 1900. There will not b
any material variance from this figure. Fit
teen Democratic members OF Congress hav
been elected. This is a gain Of ten owe
the last Congressional vote. The Republ
cans have a majority in the State Senat
and the Democrats q majority in the Hous
of Representatives. The democrats hav
also a majority oil joint ballot in the legisla
ture. This secures a Democratic Unite
States Senator, to be elected next winter
Such victory, at such time, over the con
bined forces of fusionisa is unparalleled

The Fremont party has evidently offered
premium for the biggest and most ridieu-
lous lie that can be invented this year. The
New York Herald and the Tribune are con.
tending eagerly for the prize, and the Tribune
is going to win it. The story about the tpo
Fremonts caps the climax.
In order to get rid of the effect of the proof
that Fremont is Catholic, the Tribune now
saws that there are tDo Fremonts--that both
have been in the army--bcth have lived in
Washineton--both in Caifornia--and thai
they look exactly alike. And then it adds
that it was the other Fremont who has at
tended the Catholic church. The Irib1n'
published this story, and then got it up il
pamphlet form, and it is circulating all oVe'
the country. Think of that, gentlemen
T'wo Fremonts,, Look just alike Cam
tell t'other from which! Wonder if Jessie
can. In fact there may be some doub
which it is that is running. There is bu
one way of ascertaining that. The shark
who got Johnny nominated would take nj
one but the owner Of Mariposa; and he will
n,. own that six months after the election.
But, remember, there are t'oo Fremonts

The Vote in acknowledgements
Majority 8 600.

We have not before US, the official vote
Of Indiana. From the most reliable author
ity We can get in reference thereto, the
Democratic majority for Governor, will stand
at about 5000 There are six Democratic
members of Congress elected, and five Re
publican. The Legislature, like that OF
Pennsylvania, has Republican majority in
the Senate, and Democratic majority IN
the House; Democrats, a majority on joint
ballot. There are two United States Sena
tors to be elected in Indiana. AS the Leg.
islature stands, both will be Democrats

A Democrat and Republican were hold
ing q conversation about the time Of the
State fair, when the Republican remarked:
"You must acknowledge, MIR. H., that all
the Intelligence of tho country is with Fre-
mont. The Irish and Germans and other
foreigners are ignorant and the worst class
of Americans 90 with them" This is fair
specimen of Republican arrogance and self
esteem. The party opposed to the Democ-
racy has always claimed all the decency and
intelligence. AS the Democrats have been
in power over three fonrths Of the time since
the Government was formed and as Jefer'
son, Madison and Jackson were Democrats

for HucglaMan. How the Voic
Stands.
No better estimate can be formed OF the
tremendous Democratic triumphs IN 'he
States which voted on the l4th OF oetooer'
than to compare the returns with the last
general elections in those States in lo54.-
The figures stand thus:
Indiana then 10000 against the Demo-
Gratis; now 5000 in their favor. Democrat
ic gain on the popular vote q goo.
Pennsylvania then $1,000 against the De
mocrats; now 5000 in their favor. Demo
cratic gain $4,000.
Ohio then $4,000 against the Democrats
now, say 90 900. Democratic gain 6o'ooo
Thus-in the three States--the Demo
Gratis have gained on the popular vo'e' Il
two wears, 1891 900 votes! The like OF 'hl
tremendous popular revolution was ncVe
before seen in this country.

xcpn if Before the People.

Keen it before the People, that there Is
not a word in the Cincinnati platform, nor
in the Democratic creed that favors the ex',
tension of slavery into the Territories; De-
mocracy asks that the people be allowed TO
fix their own institutions, without interfer-
ence of Congress, or any other outside pow
or: the South only asks to be "let alone. "
Keep it before the People, that this is the
language of the Cincinnati platform, "lhat
we recognize the right of the people OF the
Territories including Kansas aud NeorasKa'
acting through the the legally aud express :
ed will of majority of actual residents anu
whenever the number Of finhabItants Iustines
It, to form Constitution with OF without
domestic slavery, and be admitted into the
Uninn upon terms of perfect equality witt
other States.'' What can be more fair
But the Black Republicans want to contro
the people by fcreign power. Such is thel
idea Of "freedom -
Keep it before the People. that the Dem
ocratic creed is "Non Intervention by Con
gress with slavery in the States and Terri
tories, and popular sovereignty" This wa
the basis of the Compromise of 1850, b
both Democrats and Wings, in Natlonu
Convention, and rightly applied to the Oh
ganization Of the Territories in 1854. Bt
this right of the people to please themselve
in forming their domestic institutions d''
pleases Black Republicans who are oppose
to having the people exercise this power
They fear the people, and will not tru
them if they can prevent it.

That Union Ticket.

The Black Republican sheets are Fah''hs
about frauds, and at the same time are Ia
hornu to effect one of the most bare faced
frluds vet attempted. 1t is we'll known that
the Republican Committee and the Fillmore
Committee met in Philadelphia on the 10th
inst. They held meetings in separate rooms,
and the Fremonters sent two propositions
for fusion with the Fillmore men on an
electoral ticket. The Fillmore Committee
rejected both bv a vote OF 90 to Z. Here
are the resolutions as reportedbJ telegraph
on Saturday: H-. .Hra'I ,.t .#E
na,lg ..fsf- . PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 10.
The following resolutions passed the Fill
more and Donelson Executive State Com
! mittee to day, by vote of 20 to =:
Resolusd, That we deem it inexpedient
to make any alteration in the Fillmore and
Donelson Electoral ticket in thisState, and
we are firmly convinced that any interfer-
ence with it, would be the means of giving
the State to Mr.. Buchanan instead of de-
feating him.
Resolved, That we decline to accept either
of the proposition of the North American
State Central Committee, satisfied that the
electoral ticket in the field in which all op
, posed to Mr. Buchanan, can successfully
unite, and uncompromising opposition ant
to defeat, under any and all circumstances
his election. .......

the Fremont and Fillmore parties in Penn

Opposition Death T'EarOCs.

The opposition are reluctant to confess
their bad defeats in Pennsylvania and India
ma. They seek, by lying about it, to reduce
our majority in the latter State, and to en-.
tirely change it in the former. They also
insist the Democrats have but five Congress-
men from Ohio, when they have eight. Bad
policy, gentlemen. You are only njuring
your own friends. The sooner, like Capt.
SCOTS coon, you come down and submit to
your fate, the better.
