The Change in the Wind.

| AT the Democratic Headquarters in New
! \ Ork, says the Herald, attention is especi-
! ally absorbed in the PENNSYLVANIA cam
/ paign, and adviceS from there show that it
IS assuming great activity all over the State.
Large meetings are being held in every d-
| rectlOn. The one at Pittsburg last week
was immense. Addresses were delivered
! by Hon. Austin Blair, the war Governor of
Michigan, and by Messrs. Morehead and
Marshall, two of the most distinguished
republicans of Western Pennsylvania. 1t
is claimed there are 1000 Liberals in AL
legheny county alone.
All accounts from the State declare the
election of Buckalew as certain. The
Cameron men, on the contrary, are equally
confident, and openly boast of having col
| Onized $4,000 negroes in various sections.
Should these negroes be permitted to vote
| it may change the result; but measures
will be taken to prevent this fraud on the
ballot box. Democrats claim that they
will come from the country to Philadel-
phia with $4,000 majority for Buckalew,
and this majority cannot be overcome by
| any fraudulent figures in that city which
the Cameron managers can control.
Accounts received by the committee
from Ohio are Of a very cheerful nature
Discreet democrats are of the opinion that
Ohio will elect the Liberal ticket i'm Octo-
Der, and assign the following reasons: The
Cincinnati Commercial, confessedly the
most able and enterprising paper in the
West, circulating in every part of the State.
! IS supporting the Liberal ticket with earn
estness and ability, while its contemporary,
the tOtksbtGtt, the leading German paper
in the West, is equally jealous in the same
cause. Several other German papers have
lately come out for the Liberals.
The Concord On. H. Patriot says: Lib
eral men in New Hampshire and Connec-
ii :ut are specially requested to note that
the demand is just now SO great for votes
by the Radical party, that prices must rise.
First class influential men are good for
good for 81 ,OOO leach; second quality ought
| to bring all the way from $500 to $3.50, and
middliDg and common from 500 upwards
! and not cent less. The Radicals have
their hands in Uncle Sans pocket and are
able to pay. Make them do so in all cases
where they attempC to make merchandise,
and then vote as yon please; that's the
way to treat the scoundrels.
Forney's Press says: The Ring Journals
| affect to believe that Hartranft's chances
are frightening. Their pretended conf
dence is weak delusion to keep up the
| tagging spirits OF their followers in this
city. In Western PENNSYLVANIA. Hartranft
is losing ground daily. In the east, the
classification" that grew out Of his nomina-
ton has grown daily, while in the north
ern tier of counties, he will be beaten over
whelmingly.
No wonder Henry Wilson said in the
U. S. Senate that he would sink a hum
dred millions in building the Union Pacific
Railroad, and he cared nothing about the
lands given. to that infamous corporation,
| when he had in his pocket 1000 shares of
Credit MObilier stock, worth $4,000,
which he had neither bought nor paid for.
Inhis Swampscott speech, last year, Wen
dell Phillips said that g the Republican
party is dead; the only mistake is that it
fancies it is alive and resists BURIAL If
any further evidence of its death is needed
it may be found in its corruption, which
