The great all absorbing topic in PENNSYLVANIA
since toe exnulsion of the rebels from Maryland
has been aud is still the coming elections. which
take place on Tuesday week, October la. There
Is not town, village or hamlet IN the whole
State which il not discussing the snpject ana all
classes Of society from the wealthlest IRON found
er,down to the poorest coal beaver, takes the Vl-
est interest In the result do not remember a
single instance in American history, since the
Revolutionary war, in which the people have
shown so great an interest in politics a. IN the
present occurrence and when parties have been
more anxious to win There i evidently great
object at stake in the present contest, and this ex
plains the efforts made on both sides IN order TO
secure success.
As far as / can Judge By what heard and saw
in the interior Of the State and principally in the
mining districts which / visited, there is hardly
any doubt that the Democrats will carry the
State by very strong majority. In Bucks coun-
ty, where j remained a few days, prominent
Democrat told me the county would give a ma
jority of at least eight thousand votes. However
| think it would be rather imPrudent to take any
specifications of that nature an index of the
majority to be given by the sixty nine counties
composing the State of Pennsylvania. / prefer
to take as an estimase what prominent Repub-
hcan leader told me the other day on that sub
lect. Il should be surprised. said be- ''if the
Republicans were able this time to elect seven
members of Congress out of twenty five to which
the State Is entitled in virtue of the new appor-
tOnment. This State belongs to the Democrats
by majority OF at least seventy FIVE thousand
votes; and although great many Republicans
think OF e'ecuDg at least ten members, none en-
terrain the idea of carrying the State " If what
my Republican friend tells me is true land his
testimony fully corroberates the information

yania will sensibly modify the maj ority in Con
gress and will take out from the Republican
ranks, TO which the State belongs, from thirty
six TO forty votes.
A great opposition exists against Thaddeus
Stevens in the Lancaster district. Elk President
buchanan, who lives in it, Is said TO have given
SO 600 IA order to defeat him. All the Repub-
lican papers in the State try 10 conceal their APP
prehensiOn under appearance of confidence
which deceives no one. Like their New York
contemporaries they affect 10 denounce the Demo
Gratis traitors to their country cause, and ina
CINE all sorts of vile ratagems 10 make their
denunciations available. But the violence OF
their language. as well as the stupidity of their
accusations, betrays their fears. Very poor i'm
deed, must be the party which recurS To Islander
and calumny as Neapons in war against its ad
versary especially when its adversary EMPLOYS
no other arms in its defense but those allowed in
