Vote for Congr,s.me" In Prnnsyivania.

There are people who seemed to be iniat-
uated enough to suppose that the Democracy
of Pennsylvania would fight, like Swiss mer-
ceuaries, in any cause and for any princi.
Piles their leaders might espouse that they
would sustain Buchanan in 1858 against
Popular Sovereignty as checrlully Us they
sustained him in 1856 when he was com
mitted for fair play to Kansas, The Off
cial returns Of the Congressional vote at our
late election will enlghten such individuals,
aud enable them to form u better estimate
Of the honesty and intelligence OF the Demo
crazy OF this State. Ia 1856 James Blu
chnana received $50 500 votes, and clear
majority of 705 over both his competitors

only represented in y modified form the
odious features of his policy. received but

Az. 10 1856, the Democracy carried tif
teen out Of the twenty-five Congressional
districts--at the late election the lecompton-
ties were in minority in every district
except the Tenth Legion" where Dimmick
escaped defeat by u majority Of less than
l400, by constituency which has in former
times sent Democratic Representatives Ia
Congress by larger majorities than any 9th
er district IN the United States. The Con.
gressional vote speaks volumes Of popular
adherence of I.ccompton tests, the English
bill tinality, aud the persecution of Douglas.
There is no State more devotcdly attached
TO the Democratic party, for the sake Of
the party, than Pennsylvania, rs she has re-
peatedly shown; and il is this devotion alone
which has given even decent show of
strength to the Iecompton Congressional
candidates, for many thousands voted for
them who totally disapproved Of their
course, and whose mental verdict when they
heard Of their defeat, was like that Of the
Western jury - ''served them right. -

MuRpKK AND RonBxsy.--At an early
hour yesterday morning the body Of man,
apparently alderman, was found lying across
the track of the Galena Railroad. at Win.
field station, Du Page county. about &c
miles from this city. A terrible wound was
found in his side. but there were no signs Of
his having been run over, his clothing not
having been disturbed. The conclusion Of
those who examined the body was, that the
deceased had been set upon by Williams, rob

by accident. This conclusion was fully
confirmed by the finding OF ritied money

counts, the body had not been identified.

We observe that the late Legislature has
created new State Oficer-a Comptroller
which, we believe, is to be elected by the peo-
pie, next fall. This will make an addition to
the State Ticket-and there will have to be
elected the following officers:
A member of the Board Of Public Works
an Attorney General Supreme Judge; and a
Comptroller. For the Public Works, we sug-
gest Gen. II. H. Dodge, OF Cuyahoga-6r At
