PENNSYLVANIA ELECTION.

PENNSYLVANIA ELECTION.
There can no longer be any doubt that the
National Administration have received sig
nal defeat in Pennsylvania far more severe
one than VIC had dared to hope for. Making |
all allowances for incomplete returns, and
from unexpected occcssions of democratic
votes from unrcported bye-places, which,
whenever q necessity arises, are found able to
poll very largo vote where there are but
small number of inhabitants, it is quite sure
that the Administration forces from Pennsyl-
yania will make but lean show in the next
Congress. In this Congress there are 10 dem
ocrats to 10 of the opposition From 3 TOT are
all that can be now counted for the Admins
tration in the next in any degree and half OF
those are avowed opponents of the Presidents
latest Karsas policy. We do not consider the
Administration defeat as an out-and-out Re-
publican victory, because some other elements
entered into the contest, and aided in produc-
ing the result. But that the result will
strengthen the Republican cause wonderfully
in all the free States which have not yet held
their elections, is beyond dispute 1t is a
prelude to the great Republican victory which
must come in 1860.
\ few extracts from papers OF different pol
itics will show the significance of this result
to the public mind.

tFrom the Philadelphia Newsl
The victory of to-day is the harbinrer Of
"a good time coming" and indicates, in the
most unmistakable manner, that in 1860 the
people OF the entire country will rise in de-
fence OF their rights,a place an honest man
IN the Presidential Chair.
From the N. Y. Herald
" c presume that very few of our intelli-
gent readers will be surprised at the results
OF the late elections in Pennsylvania, Ohio.
Indiana, and Iowa. The seeds of demorali-
eaton and discord which were sown so liber-
ally by the disaffectcd leaders and Presiden-
tlal asplrants among the Democratic mem
pers OF Congress at the late session, have pro-
duced their natural fruits in the dsinterra-
ton and defeat of the party in the Keystone
State, and in the opposition victories else
where, of Tuesday last.
