Pennsylvania, Ohio and Iowa.
The pending 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 Wilmot by a
large majority. The Democracy of the "Keystone"
are standing too high Constitutional ground. We
give the following specimen Of their resolutions.
They all breathe similar spilit: -,.
"Resoloed, That the democracy of York county
cordially approve of the policy of the national ad-
minstration, and believe that under the wise and
eminenty patriotic counsels of President Buchanan
and his able and experienced cabinet the foreign and
domestic affairs Of the general government will be
so directed and controlled to result in the contin

Res0Lued, That we have unlimited confidence in
the political integrity. the high moral character and
the faithful public services of Gen. VIM. F. Packer,
the democratic candidate for governor Of Pennsyl-
vania, and that the numerous qualifications he pos
for the gubernators chair of his native State
entle him to the earnest and hearty support of the
democracy Of York county.
Resolped, That the recent decision of the Supreme
Court of the United States in the case of bred Scott
os j. F. A Sandford is fraught with interest to
the people of this country, and calculated have
important bearing upon the future destiny of our
Union, and that clearly recognise the sound

Gov. Chase, the back Republican candidate for
Governor in Ohio is evidently alarmed, and is work
ing with desperation for a reelection. The Cincin-
natl Enquirer of late date says:
eve conversed yesterday with a gentleman of
observation and intelligence, who has been spending
a 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-

idea of putting the blacks on 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

have been taken without judicial sanction has been

Seward and Beecher, and zealously preached and
amplifed upon by few fanatcal preachers in our

ly demonstrate that the reign of Fanaticsm and
Black Republicanism 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

as we were the first to bow down to receive them,
will be foremost to arise and shake them from US.
