STATE ELECTIONS Decentralization FOE State
ofcers take place to-day in three important States
to wit, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana. Iowa
and Minnesota, which usually hold their State
elections to-day will this year hold them on the
9th Of November, IA connection with the Presi
Dental election. These elections to-day will
necessarily be viewed az foreshadoxing the result
Of the Presidential contest In November Each
Of these States to-day chooses Its Representa-
In the next Congress, while Pennsylvania and
Indiana elect their Governors and Legislatures
also, and the latter full ticket Of State officers
Indiana chooses her Governor for a term of four
years, Pennsylvania for three; while In Ohio a
Judge Of her Supreme Court, Attorney General
now to be elected. The Legislatures to be chosen
in Pennsylvania and Indiana will each have to
elect United States Senator
There will be much interest felt in the result Of
the Congressional convass In each of these States
but the great test will be the election Of Governors
in Pennsylvania and Indiana. Especially will
this be true OF Pennsylvania Next to New York
That is regarded the pi votal State on which de-
pends the success or defeat Of Mr.. Lincoln There
are but two candidates in nomination, Mr. Foster,
democratic, and Mr.. Curtin, republican All
branches Of the opposition to the republicans are
united in support Of the former The divisions
OF the democrats the Presidential question have
been very nearly kept out Of view, and both wings
Of the party viii 60 into the contest anxious to
achieve victory from which each expects i'm
portant advantages Ii the election in Pennsyl-
vania and Indiana to-day, or in either Of these
States, goes against the Republicans the prestige
of success which rurrounds the republicans will
vanish, closer union between all the opponents
Of Mr.. Lincoln will be formed in all the oubtful
States and the canvass will be renewed under
such essentially different prospects, that the defeat
Of the republicans may be predicted with the ut
most confidence. .--. ..

The ELECTIONS To-DAY.-The excitement pre-
vailing In political circles here concerning the
probable result Of the various State and Cong res
sional elections which transpire to-day, is hardly
second to that which will surely exist on the rst
Tuesday of next month when I Rresiderit is To be
elected. The only question here in connection
with those elections Is, VIII the Republicans be
defeated in Indiana and Pennsylvania! Some Of
the Democrats and Union party men are sanguine
that they will be defeated In Indiana, and alto1
them evidently calculate upon the election Of
Foster i'm Pennsylvania. II is but fair to say, fur
Their, that the Republicans In Washington seem
to be rs sanguiDe of beating Hendricks In Indiana
and Foster in Pennsylvania as Of carrying Ohio
to-day The truth is, IL Foster be elected, 1t 4,
hardly possible that Lincoln can be elected Presi
dent by the people next month. Hence the in
tense excitement with reference to this Pennsyi
vania election existing here just now We frankl,
admit that we are in fog with reference to wha
the day may bring forth; our own opinion being
that the Pennsylvania result Is among the mos
uncertain things conceivable. Both parties tn,
Republicans on one side and the Breckenridge
Bell, and Douglas Interests combined, on the other
have labored on this occasion In Pennsylvania a
never before, spending money like water also
We advise all to keep perfectly cool for twenty
four hours, when something like rational con
cluson to what 10 to be the result Of the Presi
dental election In November may be arrived at
P.S.-Since writing the above we have received
letters from Pennsylvania that leave little doub
on our mind that Curtin (Republican) will bea
Foster fusion DernocraD for Governor, this Oh
Of October, in the year of Our Lord, 1860.
