How is the election going in Pennsylvania is n
question hcIuenily asked by both the lends and
aud enemies ol tie Government. The latter hail
with delight the assurance ul Purdy that the inmor-
/ tai democracy will be MAJ shalled that day and
carry the ally fJefersua Duyis in tGiumJ 10 the

misapplicd judging fiom the ed orias OF his disloy-
al jOGI nal and therefore not prepa ell 10 set
down his assertion truth. We do not believe that
there is enough of the defendants Of the cowboys
76 and the blueighs of Isl and their followers TO
elevate Judge Woodward TO that respons ble posi- ion
II there then truly will tie South have cause 10
ICjoce. do HOl believe that the honest voters OF
Northumberland county will suffer themselves to be
deceived aud misled by such specimens OF humanity
as Truman Purdy, aud his designing clique-lhat
they will array themselves against the GOverhulen
the soldiers akd the soldiers candidate ON the "a
tuesday OF uelobtr next, with false view that
they hre voting Tor peace, which only be secured
by the strong arm Oi the Government. Sustain the
the government like paIrios should, and peace will
soon dawn UPON our unhappy county but break
that GTin by setting up factions against the govern
ment, and war wuh ls horrors will be upon us in
earnest, and anarchy and confusion will reign su.
Prrme. To get peace through that channel you will
hareo night TIL you undo all that has been done and
then commence anew give way TO your pnTty pre-
judce AID encourage us as much us you present
oouIse encourages The rebels and We will guarantee
peace with united country Ia short nue.
