Elections.

Tomorrow, the 18th, important elections
take place in this State, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Iowa, and their results will indicate, more
OF less directly, the verdict of the people
,lpon the Buchanan Administration, whose
policy and measures arc on trial before the
people in every canvas.
In this state we are to elect Judges of the
Supreme Court; State Auditor Treasurer;
Attorney General; and Superintendent of
Public Instruction; also, members of the
Legislature County officers, and eleven
members of Congress; on the latter will be
concentrated the great struggle between
Lecomptonism and anti-Lecomptonism or
rather between the Administration and
anti-Administration parties. The opposi-
sition have now six members they are
confident of carrying two other districts, and
may triumph over four of the Lecompton-
ties, leaving Mr. Buchanan with but one
feeble and reliable supporter in the House
from this State.
In Pennsylvania, a Supreme Judge
Canal Commissioner, and twenty-five mem
bcrs of Congress are to be chosen. TIT
present Congressional delegation stands /!
Democrats to 10 Republicans. The com
biued opposition to the administration ex
pect to gain at least four members. 81.
In Ohio, a portion of the State officer
are to be elected, but the great struggle vii
be for members of Congress, of which 2
are to be chosen. The present delegation
now stands 2 Republicans to Democrats
The former are confident of increasing thei
representation three or four, and We believ
they will, in spite of the power excerted b
the Executive and the activity ofthe Fedora
Office holders.
Besides two members of Congress:
Iowa elects Secretary of State, Auditor {
Public Accounts, Attorney General, Registe
the zzSt,l-a Land QIiia 4
Judges and members of the Board of Edr
cation The opposition will carry the Stat
without difficulty.

The Louisville DeNocrat, one of the most
able and honest Democratic sheets in the
Cnion-onc that commands the respect of
its opponents, while it maintains the prin-
ciples of true Democracy, has fallen under
the ban of the Executive autocrat. 1t has
with some straining Of conscience-support-
ed the Administration through its whole
course, except in its Kansas policy, and
even In that, it yielded a hasty assent to the
English compromise, and has steadily add
hered to the dubious compromise, in order to
keep, if possible, within the pale Of the Ex-
ecutive party. But during its discussion Of
the Kansas question, it uttered some plain
and cutting truths which are not forgotten
nor forgiven. The infinite meanness Of the
persecution and the intolerant, proscriptive
spirit exhibited N the following statement
fram the Demoerat, is almost incredible.
The administration is daily making. itself
more iniaagus and odious in the country.
It's partizaaS here are proclaiming truce
upon what they declare dead issue, while
tbe-President is visiting with his vengeance,
even those who have Frustrated themselves
at his feet and are inrploring mercy. These
disclosures present rather a hopeless case
for the anti-Lecompton renegades who have
yielded to the tyrant, trusting in his for
bearance, to forget their rebellion. If Har-
neys repentance brings no oblivion and
pardon, what hopes can the vascillating,
weak knced Law have, after all his disgrace
full humiliation and treachery. The Demo-

We do not know any such things of Mr..
Gavitt. The testimony in our possession
among which are long Auditory notices
from the Enqujrsr's own columns-proye all
the above allegations to be false We know
Mr.. Gaytt only as a former efficient officer
who in the discharge of his duties received
the appreciation of all classes. In all his

the above abuse, filled his columns with

regard to the difficulty between DR.. Hatchitt

himself that he does not censure Mr.. Fitz-
williams for the act alludedto. He believes
he caught his arms to prevent fight, as it
was his duty as a peace officer to do. More
over, DR.. Hatchitt says he did not blame
Gavitt very much for striking him, for he
(H.) had provoked it by blow first at
Gavitt for ali offensive word uttered by
him. He has SO little feeling upon the old
affair, which occurred more than two years
ago, that he will give his vote for Gavitt as
the most competent and reliable candidate
for Sheriff.

Rsgn Col. Forney, in giving his reason for
making his revelation of Mr.. Buchanan's
per6dy at the Haskin's meeting at larry
town, says: "Tarrytown was the scene
where the treason Of Arnold to the Amer
lean army Lad been disclosed and denounced
seventy-cight years before, in September,
1850. l. was right that another treachery
to the great principle of the Revolution
should be exposed and held up to public
view on the same spot. 1t was right that
unofficial men, private citizens, should meet
on the ground hallowed by the noble deeds
of the poor private soldiers, Paulding, Van
vert and Wiliams-should meet in that
place to admonish their countrymen against
the new atten pit to establish false doctrines,
and to punish all who woald not. accept
them"

gn 4 man was nearly torn to pieces on
Monday, near Louisville, by two bull dogs
He was walking along the road when the
dogs suddenly jumped on him, one Selling
him by the calf of the leg, and the other
attempting to catch him by the throat. He
had presence of mind enough to throw up
his arm in defence of his throat, and the
dog seized him by the arm, tearing away the
clothes and flesh in terrible manner. The
other dog tore the flesh from his leg, sever
ing an artery. He then caught Young by
the top of the head with his teeth, and liter
ally tore off the scalp. The other dog fast
ened his fangs in his breast, and they had so
completely worried and bitten him, that lie
was almost exhausted and entirel " overpow-
cred, and but for the timely assistance Of a
neighbor would have been killed outright.
The man attacked them with club, and
had much difficulty in getting them loose

Louisville Democrat. We know some OF
these parties aud their operations. They
are welcome to all they can make in this
contest. They will be very glad to dlSown
all this before it is through. What IS done
against the Democrat is a small matter; bnt
the general crusade of Lecompton IS war
upon the Democratic party, and, If success
ful, will defeat it with absolute and fatal
certainty 1t has been carried so far, that
all men of sense are beginning to see the re-
suit. These factionists, who are warlng
upon the best Democrats of the North, must
be checked up, OF the Democratic party will
find out the extent of the damage done,
when it is too late to apply a remedy. All
over the North the Democratic party have
either opposed the Kansas policy ofthe Presi-
dent or ignored the issue altogether; and
vet there are no better Democrats IN the
Union; and We still hear of the determine
ton to enforce the Lecompton test. And IN
the South men talk of this question as the
cardinal point in Democratic policy. Per-
severe in this, and the party is out OF power
in 1860. 1t requires no great sagacity tc
see that result; indeed, we don't think any
man of common understanding and In
formation can fail to foresee it.
