The great all absorbing topic in Pennsylvania
since the expulsion of the rebels from Maryland
has been and is still the coming elections which
take place on Tuesday week, October Ia. There
is not "a town, village or hamlet IN the whole
State which is not discussing the subject; and all
classes OF society from the wealthiest iron found

est interest in the result. do not remember a
single instance in American history, since the
Revolutionary war, in which the people have
shown great an interest in politics ms in the
present occurrence and when parties have been
more anxious TO win There is evidently great
object 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 L remained few days, prominent
Democrat told me the county would give a ma
jority of at least eight thousand votes. However
i think it would be rather imprudent to take any
specifications of that nature as an index of the
majority to be given by the sixty nine counties
composing the State of PENNSYLVANIA. prefer

lican leader told me the other day on that sub

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-
tionment. This State belongs to the Democrats
by majority of at least seventy five thousand
votes; and although great many Republicans
think OF electlng 1t least ten members, none ell

my Republican friend tells me is true (and his
testimony fully corroberates the Information /

vana will seDsibly modify the majority in Con-

ranks, to which the State belongs, from thirty

A great opposition exists against Thaddeus
Stevens in the Lancaster district Elk President
Buchanan, who lives in it, is said to have given
$40 900 IN order to defeat him. All the Repub-
lican papers in the State try to conceal their ap
prehenson under an appearance of confidence,
which deceives no one Like their New York
contemporaries they affect to denounce the Demo

denunciations available But the violence of
their language. well the stupidity of their
accusations, betrays their fears Very poor, in
deed, must be the party which recurs to Islander

no other arms in its deiease but those allowed in
