October Elections.
Pennsylvania, Ohio & Indiana.
ONEJUMP FORWARD,
AND
Two Jumps Backward!

Our Republican friends feel jubilant, and
not without reason. They have elected
their candidate for Governor in Pennsyl-
vania by from $4,000 to 10000 majority;
in Ohio by $4,000 to $4,000: and in Indi-
ana by from 5000 to $4,000. They have
also elected d large majority of the mem
bers of the Legislature in all Of these
States.
That at the first blush such news is dis
couraging, g,-stunning to the Democracy,
We are free to admit; but on a closer ex-
| animation Of the elements of these Repub-
lican victories, it must be admitted, we
| find much to comforrtte Democracy, and
to abate from the jubilation and confidence
Of the Republicans. Let us briefly review
the victories in their order:
PExNsYLvASIA-In this State the Doug
las and Breckenridge democracy under
took to form perfect union on State
ticket Foster, their candidate for Go
vernon, undertook to sail between the two
wings. The consequence was, he was
coldly supported by both, while the whole
Bell and Everett party was driven into the
support Of Curtin. We find thus, on com
pairing the late vo,e with that OF 1856, that,
Foster received the buchanan vote Of that
year and Curtin the Fillmore and Fremont
vote ,;nif,I Of the came year Ibus

MoRrA1IrY IN OrrAwA-We understand
that quite number OF children are fall
ing victims to that fell disease, malignant
sore throat, in Ottawa Over one hundred
and fifty children have already died, some
adults have been attacked and the result,
we believe, has also been fatal 1t is pre-
cisely the same disease that has swept
over some cities in New York, some two
wears ago, and with the same sad results.
If we mistake not, there have been some
few cases in this vicinity, during the last
spring, and We believe some have been
treated very successfully Perhaps, tho
the type of the disease was then not SO
malignant as now, when it must be consi
dered as regular epidemic.-La .SaHt
Standard, 10Th
Our friend Of the Standard has been i'm
posed upon. There have been nunbe,
of cases Of sore throat in Ottawa, and a few
deaths, but certainly not tithe of the
mortality the above would indicate The
disease is easily managed if taken in time

como to their senses. 1t was no affair of

Such was about the line of Mr.. D. s
speech, but expressed in that terse, ner-
vous style we cannot pretend to initiate
The argument was certainly not new, but
it is one that is crushing in its force where
ever repeated, and during this whole con-
test has not been successfully assailed.
By the time Judge D. concluded, there
were at least 5 1000 people at the depot, and
a perfect stream still pouring in from La
Sale street. The locomotive gave a couple
shrill screams, Judge D. hastily clambered
on board, and was of, amidst the firing oi
cannon, the playing of the Ottawa band
and the deafenins shouts of the multitude.

Let the democracy of Illinois take cour-
age by the example of their brethren in
Ohio and Pennsylvania. Notwithstand-
ing the uuhallowed coalition against them
at the October election they have gained
THREE and perhaps FOUR members Of Con
gress in each of these States. A gain oi
at least one member of Congress can be
made by our friends in the Peoria district
if the democracy do their duty kellogg
made himself so odious during the las!
session of Congress, that he must lose
largely among the republicans themselves
and can easily be defeated if the democra
| cy stand by their arms.

list, showing that the fight was between
the two wings of the Democracy on one
side, and the Bell everett and Republican
party united on the other. Now what en-
couragsment is there in this to the Lincoln
men?
In November there will be Bell ticket
in the field which will take of from this
Curtin vote at least So 0u0,-the Fillmore
vote OF lS56,-leaving him from $4,000 to
60,00U behind the Democracy. Now one
of two things will happen between this
time and November Either the Douglas
and Breckenridge party will unto on one

Lincoln; or the Douglas and Bell men viii
unite, and again secure the defeat Of Lin

luton adopted by the Bell Convention

and formed and electoral ticket, adopting
these resolutions:

Insurrectionary Plot In Virginia.

There seems to be an insurrectionary
plot fomenting among some Of the negroes
in Princess Anne and Norfolk counties,
Va. Tho Norfolk papers of Saturday
bring us various accounts in regard to the
affair. The Argus, of that city says:
Several negroes have arrested in Princess
Anne. and their confessions, (thoush in
some cases extorted) have developed the
same story, and led to further arrests
The confessions show that a rising was
contemplated at Hickory Ground, in Nor
folk county, tomorrow Sunday night,
and that the matter was instigated by free
persons, some Of them free negroes Two
arrests have been made in Norfolk city,
and the trail is fully struck.
The citizens Of the two counties have re-
sorted to vigilant measures to suppress
this vile conspiracy, and to detect all of
tenders Of all colors. Active patrols have
been organized-and gone to work. We
advise all suspected white persons to quit
the parts between two days" On Thurs
day Light white man named Flynn was
shot dead by patrol party in Norfolk
county, on the line Of the canal, about II
miles from Portsmouth. There were seve-
raj men engaged in ditch.ng; and they
were camping out in that neigh borhood
The place was suspected, and their tent
visited by the patrol for search When
the patrol approached the tent and hailed
the man Flynn came out and aimed his
gun at Mt Warner, one Of the party but
before he could fire, he was shot dead by
another Of the party. At the same mo-
ment a negro darted from the tent and
escaped into the woods A free negro
named Dick Smith, has been shot also !;
he, however IS no. dead We understand
tina, he was shot while running from some

rest him for some iucendiary expression

censed, and the leading gentlemen OF the
