PHILADELPHIA, Sept. "a, 1869.
The approaching gubernatOral election, though
thus far characterized by no outward exhibitions Of
enthusiasm, Is still being carried with energy and
Industry on both sides. The absence Of the usual
Amount OF political camor Is accepted by the sages
ana prophets Of the democratic ranks as prognosti-
eating success and would have 1t believed that they
ore sufficiently cons0led by this fact to give up all
unnecessary effort 1t is quite evident that this is
little piece of party strategy, and While on the sur
face all il apparently quiet beneath there Is scene

every effort to win, and If they do not, which Is the
most likely result Of the campaign 1t will not be

81 persons not at all credtabie 10 the party, and
were decidedly obstreper0us and threatened dire
vengeance ana destruction. Siace the change land
they have been seectedI the new men and their
friends think it is ali rigat and according to their
views the ticket comprises all that remarkable
purity, officially and morally; Intelligence, liberty
prosperity and justice, and long string OF verbal
party lodges ana slang The other faction, how
ever, do not recognize this. as their own moral, So
Clal ana political eminence Is fearfully blurred by
such sly destinations. 1hey carry long faces and
spin pathetic yarns and pronounce what martyrs
