PHILApELplA, Oct. Is, o'clock, A. M.
Hail Columbia Philadelphia is sdecidcdy u
nion and the State is also Union by very hand
some majority. Good morning. d. j. c.
The undersigned heard something like sup
pressed oath from one of the Democratic arith-
meticians, who was still employed on the count
| as between Cessna and Bramwell, but who SEEM
ed to have suddenly forgotten the number to car
ry to the next column of figures. A little fell
low in corner who, was told, is first rate
Democratic landlord, said he didn't believe the
dispatch was true. A half dozen other Dem
ocrats quietly suggested that it was a little too
| early to tell about the State. At this juncture
the editor of the Gazette boltel into the room,
with despatch from Chambersburg stating that
McPhersons majority in Franklin county would
| not be over 100. and offering to bet his old hat
on Coffroth. A smile passed over the faces of
the Democrats, whilst corresponding frown
darkened the physognomies of the Abolition
lists. The latter slowly ''skedadded," and then
to keep up their spirits, began playing off some
practical jokes. Will, the aid of a young DEM
ocrat, who, had got himself into bad company
they palmed off on the crowd some very ugly
returns from Bloody Run and West Providence,
and afterwards succeeded in making even a GER
tain editor believe that Allegheny county had
given only 800 Abolition majority. After the
perpetration of these ''sells," the undersigned
lay down on a settee to sleep. lie was soon
wrapt in the arms of 1foe.tee.as (being in a
| lawyers office, he presumes, was the rcason).
| During his short sleep, he dreamt that Whar-
toms Digest and Websters Dictionary had been
stuffed into his head through one of his ears.
| When he awoke he found his head buried be-
meath q pile of books, which was used as a pill
| low for some other head attached to body that
stretched itself out over three or four chairs.
On extricating himself from this predicament,
the undersigned looked around the room and
saw the remains of the preceding nights gath
ering, a correct inventory of which was as fol-
| lows:
| Sc cigar stumps.
election tables.
| l briar root pipe.

young Democrat who helped to ''selr' his
brethren, laid out fast asleep, on shutter.
! The undersigned then went home, expecting
that in less than week some of the ''bressed
counterbans" set free by Abe's proclamation,
would be in possession of his premises, which
expectation was founded on the solemn telegraph
ic fact that Pennsylvania had endorsed said proc
lamaton at the polls. But, he has since learn
cd, by way of the Berlin mail. that the State
has rone Democratic and that the telegraph was
.'slinhty previous on the night of the election.

article to I'D. J. c." if you know who he is,
so that he. too. NAV find out which party has
carried the State9 You will please excuse my
abruptness in signing myself.
