The World* of 19th inst, sare: The Radicals have noiuiuated iu ono of the interior counties of the State for the Assembly a man who forged the name of a former of the AiiWolj to & ©;U. Almost evcrv Radical paper in the State has indorsed the nomination, aud claims that the man is pure, honest, and upright. Surh is the Kadidal idea of purity and virtue. If the radicals up iu New York can swallow a forger, they are dueed sight more depraved than we took them to be. We should like to see the rads down this way dare nominate a forger for Assembly, we tell you the RETORT EKand the H'sklwsa would bow 1, and make Centre county too hot for him to stay. The democracy of western Penn sylvania have acquitted themselves nobly. Nearly every county has in creased its majority or cut down that" of the radicals. Even old, stiffneckeil i Allegheny, has been thinned down by the democracy as with a terrible j rasp. Much credit attaches to the j Pittsburg Po*t, the able organ of the , western democracy, for this cutting down) of radicalism |in that section, j Had the democracy of the east done as j nobly as their brelhern in the west, Pennsylvania would have gone demo cratic. The democracy of western j Pennsylvania have for the last few ? years made the same noble record for J themselves, and never seem to falter, j but push right through, aud at each J election come out stronger than before. We must follow their example in the east, if Pennsylvania is to be demo cratic. All honor to the gallant democrats of the west. The Slate Election. The result of the late election in this Mate is known to every readei of the REPORTER. The radicals have car j ried Pennsylvania by an increased ma jority. This result was unexpccted > and surprises every oue, in view of the utter failure of Grant's administration and his own imbecility and incompe tency ..and the most unheard of frauds that have been committed at Washing-, ton and Harrisburg. These matters , of themselves should be sufficient to damn any party aud admisistration ia the eyes of any honest people, and bury the guilty party beyond resur rection. Yet, with all this odious weight of fraud, corruption, perjury, usurpation, and tyranny, hanging upon the shoul ders of the party in power, radicalism ha? triumphed in Pennsylvania—has received an endorsement of its acts at the polls. With these heavy sins rtstiug upon it* which have received the condemnation of all the leading honest radicals who have denounced Grants administration and who seem to have deserted it as rats do a sinking vessel,and in the face of the exposures bv the democratic press of astounding frauds and rascali ty by radical office holders, we looked for a withering rebuke of the den of thieves who are stealing every dollar of the people's money and enriching themselves, and we had a right to ex pect a result from that now exulted over by the radical press. But, we cannot believe that the re sult is an honest expression of the peo ple. We are not prepared to believe that the masses of the people of this old commonwealth have be come so demoralized that they will knowingly endorse such outrages as have been committed under the pres-' cot national and state administrations. We do yet believe that the great ma jority of the masses are honest and de sire an honest administration of pub uc affairs. Then bow account for the recent radical and victory increased majority? Can there longer be any doubt that corrupt influences have been used, and that frauds have been perpetrated, aud that the millions etolen have been employed as an elec tioneering fund by the derperate men in power, to detent tlie honest will of the people, and to prevent that deserv ed rebuke which these bad and reck less men saw was awaiting them ? But might responsibility for our de feat rest upon democrats, by any mis take on their part in the conduct of the campaigu? We make loud pre feasions for honesty, aud we do assert that the democratic masses are sincere in their profession, and in their loud denunciation of the great radical frauds. With our profession of hon esty. .ve must make honest nominations and place men of undoubted integrity upon our ticket and then we can go before the people with perfect consis tency, and fight the devil with fire. But where we fail in this we battle against the wind. Democrats are sen sitive as to whom they vote for 'and will not go for dishonest men, which is a good trait and shows that our party is worthy the confidence of the people. When, therefore, occasionally a dis honest man gets upon the ticket it al- I ways tills with disastrous effect, ! Fighting tiro with tiro, is sometimes resorted to, h"t that, wo take it, is no! |as good and cflcctivo as to fijht lite : with water ; or, nssomaolton say, "light I the tricksters oftho radical party with ! the tricksters in our own party." W c !do not believe in this, hut hold that | the thieve ion the radical ticket should ! be met and fought by houust nominee* I upon the democratic ticket, and tin 'honest mrn of other parties will give j us their aid aud \ ictory will be certain. I If the democracy have made any mis | take iu its nominations that may him driven honest men from a cord! l tip poll of the ticket, let us in the fiuun profit by the lesson and see that men are nominated who can look ether I honest men in the face, and victory j will be easily achieved. The derm cratic party must keep it< orgaiisia liou pure ifil will triumph. The .New | York democracy, as we tuciiiiciie in a recent issue of the lit nut i t;, haw Let a uoblo ixuiupie.

The Pittsburg Post, of 10th iiist., contains a leader upon " 1 he Presiden cy , M and starts with the deelarali n that no Democrat w hose name has been connected with that high office,should be placed in nomination, as it thinks there are no chances for suoees- with such a leader. The Post then winds up, hitting upon Col. Thomas A. Scott, as the man for 1872, and re marks of him as follows: Pennsylvania elects the uoxt Presi dent Whoever receives her twenty six electoral votes, will receive the twenty-one electoral votes of Ohio, the thirty-three electoral votes ot New York, and well nigh sweep the other States of the Union. Can the Demo cratic party afford to put forward, as their staudard bearer, a man who cau not carry the Keystone State ? No ; a hundred times no! Can the Democrat ic party and the Conservative men of the nation name a man who will sweep the State of Pennsylvania and with it the State of Ohio beyond the slightest shadow of a doubt ? Acs ; a th< usai.-l times yes! That man is Colonel Thomas A. Scott, who can be the next President of the United States if he chooos to give the people his services. We must bridge the chasm that ex- ] i>ts betweeu the Democratic and the, Republican parties, so that the tens of j thousands who are tired of Radical cor- j ruptiou and misrule may come over to i the side ofConstitutional government. 1 We have bridged it with platforms,' founded and laid in tho highest priu ciples of justice and right, and yet the teus of thousands hesitated and feared to trust the passage way. I.et the gulf be bridged by the man himself and then they will come without hesita tion. Than Thomas A. Scott, of Pennsyl vania, no fitter man for President could be found, and no competitor will cuter the field against him, as the champion of the Radical party, who will bear any sort of a comparison "with hint. He knows the American peo ple, their wants, and what will be con ducive of the greatuess and grow th of every material interest of the naticu, better perhaps than any public man in America. It has been a part of the business of his life to visit every part of our domain and acquaint himself with the necessities and resources of each locality. Ilia great executive ability is known and aeknowledgi-d everywhere. Under the inspiration of his genius the great R.R system of the world has been perfected. He has not built up corporations merely, but he has taken hold of the fragmentary and uncompleted railway'lincs, and fused them into a mighty and compact union, binding together the shores of the At lantic and Pacific, expanding into a mighty net work over every Mate, and bringing into the great marts of com merce the products of the remotest part of the nation. As Assistant, but actual, Secretary of War under President Lincoln, he perfected the machinery of govern ment, brought the most perfect order out of chaos, and made possible to at tack the rebellion at ever)* point, de monstrating that his knowledge of State was equal to the knowledge that directed his unapproachable commcr cial enterprises and made bis name celebrated in all the commercial and political centres of the world. Had the elections iu Ohio and Penn sylvania resulted differently; perhaps it would not have been necessary to thus have urged the selection of Col. Scott, but as the matter stands, the nation has a right to demand his ser vices. It is idle to talk of electing Demo cratic candidate for President without carrying the State of Pennsylvania. Colonel Scott's majority could not be less than fifty thousand, a fact which will be admitted by men of all jmrties. Nor would his personal popularity be less in the other Stales of the Union, and no where would his fituese for the office be questioned by liis opponents. - ♦ The Nineteenth District. A short time since we called atten tion to the extraordinary and unex pected result of the late election in the Nineteenth Legislative district, com posed of the counties of Franklin and Cumberland. The Press yesterday truly spoke of it ns usually Democrat ic by front ten to fourteen hundred majority. Judge, then, of the univer sal surprise that met the recent an nouncement of a majority of eight hundred for the Radical ticket in that district! Every-body at all cognizant of State politics said, or at least thought, this is a fraud. We called on the County Committees to probe the matter to the bottom. Yesterday, confirmation of our belief reached us through the Press, which published this special dispatch : CARLISLE Pa., October 17,1871 Although, by the official vote <>i the Cumberland and Franklin district, Weak ley's majority is eight hundred and three, the Democratic Senatorial Return Judges refuse him his certificate. This outrage is perpetrated on the advice of Charles h. Muglaughliu, Democratic District Attor ney. It thus appears that the impudent and notorious fraud has met some check. The Ruturn Judges, acting under the advice of u legal officer, have refused to consummate this villany. We are not advised of the course ol their action. They may have acted on the practice sanctioned by Judge A1 lieu i), of this city, when the Return Judges were told by him that they might throw out returns which tlu-y believed lo be fraudulent.

Polygamy 's Punishment Salt Lake, Oct. 20. —The Court was occupied all day with tho lliyvkins adultery case. The cross-examination of Mrs. Hawkins elicited nothing materially new. Fho testified that Ilawkius gave no reason for asking tho other women for his wives, except that she has had her day, and it was proper that he should have some one else. She said she had home him sev en children tip to the time he took another wife. The defense offered no testimony except to prove the marriage of Hawkins with the second and third wife. (Ten. Maxwell spoke lor the prose cution, and, a.-suniiug that the defense would rest upon the plural marriage as being a part of a religious faith, lie argued that polygamy was in direct violation of poth ecclesiastical and common law. lie conclucd nt a late hour. For the defense it was contended that Hawkins being a Mormon lie bad no intention of committing a crime, and the intention was essential to con viction ; that iherc was no law against polygamy. When bo took twenty wives he could not be guilty of adul tery, because lie was legally married to the women, according to usages ami customs of the Mormon Cliurch- The jury came in during the with a sealed verdict which on being opened this morning was found to eon tain tho decision "guilty." The court room was crowded and the announce ment created much sensation. Ihe counsel lbr the people moved tho court that the defendent bo taken into cus tody, which motion was stoutly resi-t --cd by defendants attorney's. The prosecution, however, were firm in their demand that the case should take the ordinary course. The United States Marshal accordingly was directed to hold Hawkins a pris oner. Time ivas allowed to prepare a motion for a new trial and arrest of judgment. Penalty of the Utah statute for the crime of adultery is imprisonment not exceeding twenty years, and not less than three years,or by fine not over one thousand dollars, at the discretion oftbn court. This is a test case and virtually places all polygnmists at the merry of the fi.vt wife, who under the net is the only party who csftn instilnlt proceeding against the husband.
