upon the elections Of last Tuesday as
follows:
Though the vensl Commonwealth Of
Pennsylvania is bought as cattle in
shambles, The cause Of the country is not
hopeless. If that Commonwealth consti-
,uted The whole republic, and venality
was its cornerstone. we might well de-
SPAR. But luckily, such is not our sad
condition. There are enough other States
to save the whole. The Tribune makes
this clear:
