The election in Philadelphia on Tuesdny, re ,
salted ill one of the most coMplete Democra
tic Victories on record. Nearly everything is
"Denmeratic, and by increased majorities.
For City Treasurer, McGrath, Democrat, has
; Potts, Knew Nothing, 15,438 ;
/and, Republican, 3,75'2. The vote for City
Commissioner is divided about in the same
way. Out of 24 members-of the Select Coen-1
ell, (including those holding over,) 21. are
‘Demoerats. They have also a largo majority
in the Conmon Council; The - election was
'Very orderly—Democratic pollee - M - being on
duty,

It is quite evident that Elrod Scott has lint
few friend.; in Philadelphia, and that the fol
lowers of Si""i), though still numerous, are
rapidly
The YU)* Efectioii.—The Democrats of York
carried their= municipal election ou SatAday
week, for the first time in forty years. '''s/tle
majority for Peter Mclntyre; ihr Chief Bur
gess, WU 0/te hundred and thi rig jive ! "Wait
ed a long time. Got 'eni at twit:"
The Michigan Democracy.—The vote cast at
the recent judicial eleetibu in' Michigan, ex
hibits large Democratic gains sincc the ilresi
dential election. The Democrats. have gained
in every county excepting four, and in these
their loss is but 553, while in twenty- four
counties their gaixrds 8,547; Net gains in
twenty-eight counties, 7;9011„ Other,eoun ties,
the official votes of which aro not yet pub
lished, will, it is said by the Detroit Free Press;
increase this gain.. The signs of
,Black Re
publican decay are cisiblc in Michigan as
they are in Ohio, in the gallant and growing
State of lowa, and in old Connecticut where
the Democrats surprised the country by elect
ing half the Congressional delegation.
Aar Order has been restored on the Balti
more and Ohio Railroad. On Sunday, freight
trains were sent out from Baltimore under mili
tary guard, and at Jackson Bridge were tired
uputtby the rioters. The fire was briskly re
turned, and one of the rioters shot dead, and
others wounded, Thelrains -then passed on,
Oa Monday, military companies went out
with the trains ,. as on Sunday, butno collision
ensued. A large body of the strikers then show
ed a disposition to come to terms, and, since,
a number have been taken back into the em
ploy of the company. Thirty or forty will
nut be re-employed, and the worst of them will
be arrested fur riot, &c.
efirThiring the late Presidential contest
the ,iy•zsition were busy in eudeauring to
create - the inipressiun that Mr. Buchanan
would dill withdrawn by his friends. This was
dune to induce the belief that his friends were
doubtful of success; but the inlc with which
the articles were 'written was 'wasted, The
Bartle party is now attompting the mne game
by asserting that Lien. Packer is t 5 bu with

Au analysis of the bill, exposing its great
injustice, was given in a preceding ninnher of
this paper, and our readers are, therefore. fa

the people to a sense of their peril in tune to

prevent, if possible, its passage th . gli the
Senate, we will rc-state the nutleri', *acts, and
ask-that body to pause in its ac ani .until the
voice of the people can be clearly board,
if it has not already reached the capitol.
The bill is framed to favor the Pennsyl

What Modesty'
An abolition paper up in ".Virilteut's Dis

"David Wilmot received the views or his
nomination, sitting quictlt at home, in the
midst Of his family. Ik:either : he nnr his
friends, kept 'open house' At Harrisburg or
elsewhere. 1k (lid wit find it necessary to at

What a retiring, !limiest, unambitious man
Mr. Wilmot is! When the Convention that
nominated him was in session, he was
at home, in the midst of his family,"
not thinking of such thing as his selection

The census act provides thaE no one sl all

that the policy of the abolition leaders is to
