| Ih1s Would give bne Union ucket 444
electoral votes, or 27 more than q major
ity.
But though these elections are indeci-
siye, they will be of great influence in
giving encouragement or encouragement
to our Union workers, No earthly power
can prevent our triumph IN November,
but it is of great Importance that that tri-
umph be overwhelming. For this reason
we still look with anxiety to these cleo
TONS
In PENNSYLVANIA no state officers are
chosen by general ticket. Members of
Congress are, however, to be chosen, snd
an active contest is being wsged in many
Districts. The result will, however, hardly
be fair test of the strength of the con-
testing parties, as the full vote of neither
will be polled except in the doubtful dis
tricts. In 1862, Pennsylvania sent twelve
men from each party to Congress. The
aggregate poll of the State, at her most re-
cent elections, is as follows:

Members Of the present House.
In the XIV District, Joseph Bailey was
two years ago the candidate of the War
Democrats and Republicans, and was
elected by 2,2l9 majority. We give above
The vote for Auditor IN his district He IL
now the candidate of the Union party.
The Democrats carried the State, two
year ago, on the Congressional vote, by
9,819 majority.
We shall probtbly carry every district
which went Republican in 62. although
we may lose in the Third, Fifth, and Fif
teenth Districts. On the other hand we
are quite sure of gaining il the Fourteentb,
Sixteenth, Tweuty-frst and Twenty fourth.
and may carry several other districts
which were Democratic two years ago.
INDIANA is at present the most doubtful
State of the Union. If she gives Union
majority next Tuesday, we shall expect Lin
coin to carry every State except Kentucky.
The Order of American Knights have
wrought their hellish work to perfection in
this State. Thirty thousand of her legal
voters are today in camp, nine-tenths of
whom-aye ninety-nine hundredths of
whom-would vote, If allowed, for Governor
Morton, the soldiers friend, and none Of
them are permitted to vote, except at their
homes. The contest is desperate, and neith-
er party will have 8 large majority. Butif
any man can carry the State rightit is Oil !
yer P. Morton. He is making a gallant
fight and is hopeful of SUCCESS.
The rival candidates for oslJgress now,
and the vote of their respective districts at |
the last election (lS62, are as follows: |
