Pennsylvania, Ohio and Iowa.
The pending canvass in these States is full of hope
and encouragement. There can be no doubt of the
election of Gen. Packer, the Democratic candidate
for Governor of Pennsylvania, over Wimot, by
large majority. The Democracy of the keystone"
are standing too on high Constitutional ground We
give the following specimen of their resolutions
They all breathe a similar spirit:
"Resozred That the democracy of York county
cordially approve of the policy of the national ad
ministration, and believe that under the wise and
eminently patriotic counses of President Buchanan
and his able and experienced cabinet the foreign and
domestic affairs of the general government will be
directed and controlled to result in the contn
ued prosperity and glory of our common country.
Resolred, That we have unlimited confidence in
the political integrity the high moral character and
the faithful public services of Gen. VIM. +. Packer
the democratic candidate for governor Of Pennsyl-
vania, and that the numerous qualifications he pos
sesses for the gubernatora chair of his native State
entle him to the earnest and hearty support of the
democracy of York county.
ResotDed That the recent decision of the Supreme
Court of the United States in the of Dred Scott
j. F. A. Sandford is fraught with interest to
the people of this country, and calculated to have
important bearing upon the future destiny of our
Union, and that clearly recognise the sound
policy of its doctrines, and give unqualified
sent to its vital principles
Resolced, That we steadfastly maintain our un-
qualified hostility to all secret political associations
whose object is to prescribe, on account of birth
religion, those who seek an asylum upon our shores;
and that We look with confidence to the speedy and
total overthrow of the republican party, whose Sec
tional doctrines calculated to array one portion
of our country against the other, and thus weaken
the bonds of that common Union which has made
our people free, happy, and prosperous"
Gov Chase, the back Republican candidate for
Governor in Ohio, is evidently alarmed, and is work.
ing with desperation for reelection The Cincin-
natl Enquirer of late date says: --..
awe conversed yesterday with a gentleman Of
observation and intelligence, who has been spending
week or two in Fairfax county; and he informs us
that the county will give not less than eighteen
hundred majority for the Democratic State ticket
That will be heavy gain. We also have informa-
ton from other counties of the State that assures
OF large gains on our vote of two years ago. The
idea of putting the blacks on a social and political
equality with the whites, together with the acts of
the late legislature, is daily driving voters from the
Republican ranks and enisting them in the service
of the Democracy. The prospect now is that Chase
will be badly Pdyned on the 11th of October, and
that bis colleagues will be iR little better condition"
The Democrats of Iowa are also in high spirits
They speak with confidence of redeeming their
the Iowa Reporter the following resolutions adopted
in johnson county in that State:
"ResoIued, That our country may we'll be proud
of the high legal position our United States Supreme
Court has taken and honorably maintained amongst
the judicial men of the world, and that while we
look to no other authority but reason for poti
cal faith, gratied to know its opinion to be
in harmony with the doctrines always advocated by
the Democracy, in regard to the Constitutional pow
and political rights of the States and Territories
ResolUed, That the recent reign of mobocracy in
our State by which the lives of our fellow citizens
have been taken without judicial sanction, has been
the practical enforcement and legitimate fruits of
the "higher law doctrine as expounded by Greeley,
Seward and Beecher, and zealously preached and
amplifed upon by few fanatical preachers in our
own State.
Resolued, That the recent elections in Iowa clear.
ly demonstrate that the reign of Fanatcism and
Black Repubicanism is at an end, and that at our
next October election the Democracy will arise in
their power and shake from them every shackel Of
Republicanism by which she has been bound, and
as we were the first to bow down to receive them,
we will be foremost to arise and shake them from
Resolued, That johnson county pledges herself to
the State that the "gravel train shall make the con-
nections and be in "on time with the " shovel
and pick-men on the second Tuesday of October
next" ...-,--. ,4
The men who are thus struggling in these States
with the demonism of black Republicanism, are na
tional Democrats Shall of the South desert them
Shall We class them with the abolitionists? Never
They have our gratitude and admiration for theil
unfaltering and selfsacricing advocacy of our Con
stitutiona rights; and feel that their triumph
the polls will be to large extent triumph for u
also. May God speed them in their noble work =
