PHILADELPHIA, July 81. 1872.
Editors OF the Register:
Mr.. BuckaLew is 10 be the nert Gov
srnor Of this STATE. This is the
prophecy Of prominent and well.
informed politicians Of both parties.
Buckalew's record is stainless and
the disaffected Republican papers and
politicians, led by Colonel Forney, are
20 numerous that the success Of the
Democratic State ticket seems to be a
foregone conclusion. Grant and his
advisors say that the State may be lost
to the Republicans in October. yet re-
deemed in November. But facts do
not support this opinion. Forpey is
Grants great card in this State. Now,
though the Press may probably con-
tinue a lukewarm support OF Grant
and Wilson, after the defeat Of Hart
ranft and the downfall Of the Harris
burg wing, have good reasons for be-
lieving that Foruey secretly dislikes
Grant and that that heart OF his, best-
ing under his benevolent ribs, would be
reioiced by the election Of Horace
Greeley. It is therefore possible that
the Press may pull round for good
Greeley" Atsny rate, the course that
Forney is now pursuing, political and
personal. is injuripg the cause of the
Presidential candidate that the Press
ostensibly supports. The personal hos
tilty between Forney and Cameron
lends q peculiar and piquant bitterness
to the campaign in Pennsylvania. The
envenomed hate and envy Of years is
concentrated into this last great pitched
battle between Cameron and Foruey.
II Cameron falls in this year Of our Lord

it is-in short, it resembles everything
in the way of big flights that is perfectly
sublime and heroic. 1t is fearful even
to think Of; inexpressible thoughts
crowd down to the point Of my pen,

painted much blacker than he really is,
and the same may be said OF Senator
Cameron referring TO the coloring of
his enemies. He is said TO be crafty
and disiDgenuous, but / have personal

old style gentleman Of great affairs and
