PENNSYLVANIA.
PROGRESS OF THE CAMPAIGN-A REVIEW OF
THE SITUATION.

Pun ,DFIPUIA Sent I5.-NOw that Vermont and
Maine have spoken overwhelmingly in condemnation
Of Seymour and Blair, the loyal people of the nation
naturally turn to Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana
for a response in October worthy of the cause and
their candidates. Pennsylvania is in no degree
doubtful The Republican candidate for Auditor and
Surveyor-General will be chosen in October by GER
family not less than Gen. Gearys majority in 1866
III O and il is more than probable that the major
XIV will he from 10000 TO $500 The counties of the
State will send TO Philadelphia the largest Republi-
can majority given since 1850. when Gov Curtin
had over 81 co., This city has been confidently
claimed by the Democrats, and had the election
taken place 80 days ago they wOuld have succeeded
hy a small majority. But the development OF Sey-
HOur and Bairs policy ia the late Rebel states las
30 clearly demonstrated the inevitable hmIts OF
National Democratic victory that business men ana
friends of law and order generally here eithef De,
came lukewarm in the Democratic ranks OF aTrayed
themselves on the Republican side. lhe Republican
demonstration in the city last mght was me most
Imposing ever made here b. any party, ana u was
gotten up with less EFFORT than ever before III nut
oonfrlned the hopes Of the Republicans, and feel
safe in assuring you that the RcpubhcanS VIII carry
Philadelphia IN October. b. from 3OJO 70 JOJJ, ana
Grants majority Ill November Will not be less than
$1,000.
Tie certainty of Republican success in the State
has made political efforts both sides center IN ms
city and IN several close Congressional districts ne
Legislature VIII be largely republican. Even last
year when the Democrats carried the State by gJO,
HE Legislature decidedly Republican. THIS
near the Republicans Will gam one ana perhaps TWO
IN Philadelphia; two Ia Franklin and Perry, three IN
I.vcoming, Union and Snyder, one in huntingdon,
GifHn and Juniata and one ln Indiana and West
'anoreland. The Republicans vii probably lose one
Senator in the place OF Alr. shoemaker III lu1eTne,
and there will be "a CLOSE contest IN the franklin
and Adams district, bat O1k for the election OF Col
Dixon Republican. II 50, the senate VIII nave tnree
Repu blican majority At Use worst the hepuDllcahs
will have one majority a. the senate ana hoI less
than 20 in the House. Republican United states
