PRSysYLvANIA, ONO and INDIANA hold their
state Elections tomorrow, and We hope for good
news from each, though we regret to say that
the Union vote of Pennsylvania viii not be
polled out as fully as will that Of our opponents.
There has been too much unwise confidence and
exultation on our side, and too little solid,
earnest, systematic effort to enlightcn. arouse,
and bring out the voters. We hope for two OF
three gains OF Members OF Congress, but there
are several chances for losses alSo. We entreal
every Pennsylvania Unionist to do his utmost
TO bring ont our full vote even in counties and
districts where the result is already certain.
We see no reason 10 doubt that Ohio will 60
right, showing Union gain of several Mem.
bers Of Congress--one of them in place Of Cox,
and (wo trusD another in place Of Long.
Indiana may 60 against us. because her sol'
diers cannot vote unless at home, where scarce
" fourth Of them can be. But all our Home
vote viii be out, and if we lose the State it vii
only be for want Of the Soldiers votes. The
canvass has been most thorough. and tho vote
is certain to be heavy. We hope for Gov.
Morton's election, but DO not by any means
consider it certain.
Unless tomorrow night should be stormy,
we shall probably be able 70 give pretty full
returns on "wednesday morning.

The County Of Oneida gave Lincoln aud

canvass and on the fullest vote ever pollod: yot
in 1862 this was cUt down TO 4ol for Governor,
while the Republican Union candidate for Con

she gave the Union ticket l,0ii majority.

DIANA.

The enemies of the National Administration
carried this State in '62 by over Ten Thousand
majority, giving them Senate, House, and State
Officers, except Governor, who held over, aud
who would most gladly have cooporated with
them in passing IN act whereby the absent
Soldiers Of that State would BIO enabled TO vote
In the ensuing elections; but the Indiana, like
every other Legislature, would do nothing OF
the kind They had carried the state through
the Acknowledgement Of The Soldiers. aud they
were not 80 green as to help fashion club
whereby their own heads would surely be
broken. 80 the Soldiers of Indiana cannot
vote this year unless at their respective homes.
Uereupon we find clamor raised against the
alleged Partially wherewith furloughs are being
granted TO Indiana soldiers-UniouisLs being
iurloughed freely. but Coppe-hoads rarc'y or
not 1t all. We know not how the fact may be,
but sincerely trus. that this complaint ID well
founded. When all the Unionists that can be
spared from the field have gone home, there will
still be not less than Ten Thousand ma
iority of Uniousts over Copperhoads among
those deprived of their votes by the refusal OF
the late Copperhead Legislature to pass
Soldiers Voting law. IL seems TO US that this
IL quite as much swindle "a our aide ought TO 10
asked 10 stand by that refusal. We apprehend
that il is quite all our friends in Indiana can
afford.
Why is tive ask the dumb dogs once moro
that 10 single Democmtic Legislature has
ever passed Soldiers Voting Law The
voters aad journals Of thei. party have for years
been clamorug that furlougbs were freely
granted to the Republican soldiers OF New

case have they chosen TO prelude oil Partially
by fayoring and passing Soldiers Voting law.
