The Political Canvass.


HAGRlsBUro Pa. July &C. 1855
The horoscope Of nnsyyana politics begins 10 assume

Id. Myers in the Hid, and Kelley in the IVth
Districts will DO ronomnatcd and undoubtedly reelected
although in each Of tho districts efforts are being made
through the influence Of Senator Cowan and his nstru

who represented the Spring Garden District from 1853 to
1860 threatens to run against ONe, and Waborn, the
CITY Postmaster in order 70 save his Office, is willing TO
take hazard Of the game against Kelley But whether
this is So or not both those districts will be represented
By their present members. Although the Coppcrhcad OPP
position to Kelley extremely volentparticulay since
he voted against the of Tennessee on the ground
that the coorcd people not allowed 70 vote by Con-
sttutional proyisonthey fear encounter with him since
his humiliation Of George Norhrup the Democratic can
ddate 10 the last Congressional canvass You will reco
loct that Norhrup challenged Kelley TO discuss the Pot-
zeal issues. Tie result was the most overwhelming
destruction Of political demagogue ever known IN his

SO firm in the present Congress that hckmans inends

completely consolidated the party and 10 man can be re-
turned either TO popular higher branch of the Ma

the stern Congressional majOrities.
There a fair chance for beating Srouse IN the Schuyl-
kill District and for electing Republican IN the wilkes
barre District represented by Dennison. There is
dissatisfaction among the Ish in both Whether Wlll

be carried In the days OF james ii. Campbell, when 1t

hard chase understand that Dawson declines, and II IS
evident that his party will require younger and more ac

Republican candidate. At the very worst the delegation
will stand as it does the present Congress with, as
have said reasonable chances for two out OF three Of the
districts now represented by the opposition.
