Since the Presidential election Of 1856, the Ad.
ministration, or national" Democracy, has been
completely. overwhelmed in Pennsylvania, and the
government Of the State, in ell its various branches,
Is now in the hands of the Black Republicans. In
their hands it is likely to remain. Should Senator
Douglas receive the Charleston nomination. it is pos
sihle be may retrieve affairs, and carry the Keystone
State II not we regard it as for Seward. Last
year Illinois would have gone in favor Of the Free
soilers but for the herculean efforts Of Douglas II
he 10 not candidate, the chances are about ninety
nine out of hundred that it will vote for the nomi
nee Of the Black Republicans in November, $780,
Minnesota, Oregan and Kansas, are all sure for Sew
ard which, without counting New Jersey, California
and Indiana-in which States the Freesoilers enjoy
first rate chances-elects him, or whoever may be
nominated, with eight votes to sparel
This is anything but attering calculation, but it
Isl nevertheless, very probable calculation. And to
it might Yery reasonably have been added the three
electoral votes Of nominally Slave State Delaware.
The Black Republican, will make powerful effort
in Maryland and Missouri, but we think those States
may DO relied on in the coming struggle.
Now for some Of Expectations Of the Tribune:
Thus far we have not counted upon Southern aid.
Can our candidate hope obtain the vote OF Slave
holding State He will doubtless receive q large
popular vote from that section of the Union and ii
the non-slaveholding whites Of Delaware, Maryland,
Virginia, North Carolina, Missouri, Kentucky, Ten
nessee and Texas understood their true interests and
the precise objects Of the Republican party, they
would rise nasse wrest the control Of those States
out Of the hands of the Negro Aristocracy and give
their electoral votes to our candidate. That they will
ultimately spurn the yoke that crushes them aspire
to the dignity of true manhood, and expe from the
soil the hlightng Of compulsory labor ID
tain as the DEGREES OF Providence Then these freed
will take ample retribution upon their naughty
oppressors. They will neither cut their Threats, nor
sack their plantations but they will marry their
proud and portionless daughters resusctate their
worn and worthless lands, making their households to
be glad with increase and their hills and vaies to
| smile with abundance. The hope of the country
rests in the nonslaveholding whites of the South.
| The day Of their enfranehsement draweth on. Its
blushes already purple the horizon.
The above is principally nonsense, but it is not all
nonsense We will now conclude with this extract,
setting forth the deliberate opinion Of the Tribune
| Republicans must then, 90 arrange their pro.
| gramme that they can, beyond contingency, carry
| Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Prudence will as
| sign Indiana to the same position. Can we secure
the electoral votes of these States? Unquestionably
| we can! The same elements that combined last
i Autumn to return members to the House of Repre-
sentatves need but to unite in the Presidential cleo
| ton, and our success is sure.
