The truth is, that a Pennsylvania approver and en dorser of Mr. Buchanan’s policy, who is unin fluenced by personal or pecuniary considera tions, and who has paid any degree of atten tion to the political events of last year, is a cariosity. - -There never was a party moro completely and thoroughly Tylerlzed,than the Administration party in this State. The won der is, not that the Administration candidates received so few votes, but that they received so many. On the test questions of making a finality of the English Bill and the persecu tion of Judge DouonAs in Illinois, there are absolutely no persons at all in our State agree ing with the Administration, except those di rectly influenced by its patronage. On thoso issues, fairly made, tho majority in this State, instead of being some 60,000 or 60,000, would have more nearly approached 300,000, if the honest sentiment of our whole population could have been expressed, For tho Democratic party we have nover had, and nover can have, any but the warmest feelings of attachment; but when it tempora rily lost its proud and noble position as tho champion of great and enduring principles and Hunk into a'mere representative of official ty ranny, it as fhlly deserved chastisement and rebuke as the Israelites did when they forsook tho true worship, to bow down before a golden calf. The punishment has followed speedily upon the offence, and it is our earnest hope that adversity will teach wisdom, and the whole party be warned of the folly of adhering to the falling fortunes of a faithless Adminis tration, and be impressed with the necessity of sternly rebuking it. There never was an election where the right of suffrage was moro intelligently and effectively exorcised, ex cept among thoso who, against their own convictions of justice, sustained tho Adminis tration while they felt it to be in the wrong. Tho lesson should prove a wholesome one; for If anything will teach men the stern necessity of obeying tho wishes and demands of their constituents, the sight of the eight Locompton traitors— Landy, Phillips, Jones] Owen, and Jones Jehu G., Dewakt, Beilly, White, and Gillis, gibbeted by thoso whom they so shamefully betrayed—should have that elject. Henceforth let us hope the Bepresentatives sent to Congress from our State will ever re member that this noble old Commonwealth has ttie first claim upon their affection; that her people will punish those who betray them, and reward those who are faithful. Nopaity that dares to outrage her sentiments can hope to receive her support. Hor appeals for pro tection to tho great interests which form the basis of her material prosperity and her do votiQn to tho groat doctrine of Popular So vereignty will command rcspoct, and her Be presentntivos will not forget that jealous con stituencies watch with ceaseless vigilance their conduct, and will hold thorn to a strict accountability. The more cloaely the result is scanned, the more overwhelming does the victory appear. In tho First district, which Florenoe carried in 1866 by 2,200 majority, he is now in a mi nority of nearly 2,000—a change of 1,000 votes against him. In the Third district, which liAnoy carried-in 1850 by 1,147 ma jority, he is now defeated by 729. In tho Fourth district, which Phillips carried'in 1866 by 262 majority, over both his competi tors, he is now defeated by 2,936. In the Fifth district, which Owen Jones carried in 1858-by nearly 2,000 majority, a majority of over 2,000 is now thrown against him. Iu tho Sixth district, which John Hickman carried in 1860 by a plurality of a fow hundred, ha now has a large majority. In this district, in November, 1856, tho combined Opposition vote against Mr. Bcohanan amounted to 1018 more than that thrown for him. A,t the late election, both Hiokman, anti-Lecompton Democrat, and Bkoomall, Bepublican, have polled more votes than Manley, the Lecompton candidate. Lecomptonism is in a minority of about 8,000 in the district. In the Seventh district, Chat man, Democrat, had amajority 0f2,167 in 1866. The voto is now vory close—tliore will, proba bly not be 100 majority either way—but it is supposed Lonoenecker, the People,s nomi nee, is elected over S. L. Hoberts, tho regular Democratic notnineo. Iu the Eighth district, Berks county, the immortal Jehu G. Jones had 6,644 majority in 1856. He is now beaten by Schwartz, an anti-Lecompton Democrat, by 46 majority. In tho Eleventh district Dewakt had in 1866 a majority of 8,318. This yoar he was opposed by Camp bell, People’s nominee, and Cake, anti-Le compton Democrat, and has scarcely moro .votes than he had majority in 1866.' Hois prhhably in a minority of about 7,000 in tho district! In tho Twelfth district 'John G. Montooheky, Democrat; was cioctod by a majority of 2,894 in 1868 ; now Scranton, Pooplo’s nominee, has a largo majority. In the Thirteenth district, Dimmiok received in 1866, a majority of 3,566. Now there is some doubt whether he has been re-elected, and if he has been, his majority is but a few hun dred. In the Fifteenth district, Allison White had a majority of 1,111 in 1856. How he is badly beaten—perhaps by 2,000. In the Sixteenth district, Am. received a majority of 2,047 in 1856. Had he been re nominated, ho would probably bavo had a larger majority thrown against him this year than ho received in 1866. As it is, Mr. Fisuer, the Democratic nominee, i 3 reported elected by a few hundred majority. In the Seven teenth district, Wilson Beilly had a majority of G 74 in 1856. He is now, it is supposed, de feated. lirtbo Eighteenth district, the Opposi tion had] at the November election in 1866, a mojority of 1802. This year, Henry D. Foster, haring been nominated as an anti-Lecompton Democrat, and the Democrats of bis district ge nerally being on the anti-Lecompton platform, [ has greatly reduced the Opposition majority. In tho Twentieth district, William Mont gomery, one of tho steadfast anti-Lecomp ton - Democrats of the last session, had in 1866 a majority of 1,127. At this time wo are without definite returns from his district, but have little doubt that his majority now will be double or treble that of 1856. In tho Twenty-fourth district, Gillis was olected in 1856 by 683 majority. Ho is now badly beaten. The districts wo have not enumerated wore eanied by the Opposition in 1856, and are carried now by their candidates by greatly in creased majorities. , It requires very littlo skill to estimate the condition of public sentiment in Pennsylva nia, with these returns before tho reader. If the Democracy of Pennsylvania have any as pirations for future success, they must seek for it by planting themselves boldly and squarely upon the Anti-Lecompton platform. The-candidates who aro defeated, many of whom are personally excellent men, have Mr. Buchanan and his polisy to thank for their overthrow. The second chapter in the bißtory of “ tests ” has been written by tho stem hand of an. indignant people. Let time-serving and power-worshipping politicians be caroful how they invoko a third! re-election of the Hon. John G. Davis, the able and independent Democratic member of Congress from Indiana, is another of the healthy and encouraging signs of the times. .

Yetj my only faintly idignation and, . policy of the •rlplivo means :co it npon.tho .d. There are voted for the v t Letter from “ Occasional.” [Correspondence of The Press,] Washington, Oat. 13,1858. Thoreßult of tho'olection in Pennsylvania has been greeted in offloial oirolos in this olty pretty much as was the handwriting upon the wall, with its terriblo import, by the trembling Belehnsaar of old. It has driven the iron deep into tho heartaof those who would of themselves oreot a proorus toan bod upon whioh to out down or stretch out every Democrat to thoir standard. And it is patent to all that the Administration test can now only be known as the Administration’s fol ly. The result, indeed, is regarded, even by those nearest the throne, as the most astounding revolution that has evor talcen place in politics. The Union.) of this morning, after attempting to eompare it to tho political revulsion of 1854, daw dles off into its usual fanfaronade and the most hopeless platitudes. It yet continues to indulge in those ompty objurgations which have already produced for its masters suoh a heavy orop of dis asters. It has oven tho hardihood to claim that the fosult in Pennsylvania followed an adherence to prinoiple on the part of tho President and his Ca binet, when tho faot is notorious that nothing could have produced such a oataatrophe but the desertion of prinoiple on tho pnrtef those to whom had been entrusted the creed of tho Domooratio party. The Star of Monday evening looked forward to the election of the Joneses, Owen and Oloncy, Lindy, Floronce, Reilly, Allison White, &0., &o. ; but It now appears that even Dlmmfok is in dan ger, and that Glanoy himself has been gloriously defeated, Colonel Florenoe being saved by tho most enormous expenditure of the publio money and the greatest amount of illogal voting. ThegTeat faot which Blands out in this eleotion is the immense Democratic vote whioh has boon thrown against the Lccompton polioy of the Ad ministration. It remains to he seon whether the lesfon thus taught will be of any service, or whether tho mad proscription at headquarters here will be persevered in. Everywhere the best men in tho State seom to have been carried down by tho example of tho Federal Powor. At the pre sent writing there ore doubts whether General Foster and Mr. Pershing have not both been sac rificed. jling of attach- I am assurod, as well by others as from my own oonviotion, that there will be an uprising of the Demooraoy and conservative men all over the oountry in sympathy with your grand triumph. The ultra Southern men, who have at all times a prudent and attentive regard for the loaves and fishes, and are never, of oonsequenoe, desirous of gotting upon tho wrong side of the drawbridge, now begin to seo that their sirongth with their own people is not, as they all along thought, with the Kansas policy of the Administration's much 88 It is with the popular sovereignty doctrine of The Press, and Douglas, and Hiokman, and Raskin, and Broderiok. The indications are those beto kening an almost entire obango of feeling in the South, and I shall not he astonished at startling developments against those who, they already as sert, hava deluded them into the most iniquitous outrages upon the cardinal dootrine of the Demo or&tio faith, and the sheerest jostioe to the people of the Territories. Will they all be read out of the party far their strong lnnguage of reproooh and denunciation? The Union and Star had bolter pipe up. It is funny to hear tho snrmißes here whether Hon. Mr. Phillips will go abroad, and where? What will Mr. Buchanan do with Jehu G. Jones? Are there plaoes enough for tbe slain ? If not, will plaoes he made ? It is hinted that L&ndy may make an offer for the Govornorsbip of Kansas; but this is cruel, for that would be entomblnghim twice. Occasional. Letter from New York.

Lud low bad been nominated for Congress by the Democratic Convention of the First Congressional district. The vof? In tbe Convention Blood twelve for Soaring, end six for Ludlow, whereupon, as ia customary, Mr Sear ing’s nomination was mode unanimous. But the reiult of the ballot is significant. Hr. Ludlow has for some years been prominent in the political affairs or tho BUte; has been Speaker of the Assembly ; delegate to several National Democratic Conventions,} and fre quently represents his district in our State Conventions. From tbe commencement of the Kansas discussion, and ev-n before It became flio topic of debate at the last session of Congress, he boldly took the ground assumed by Judge Douglas, and from that time has uniformly maintained it. Hfs position on (he quoßlion was known to every D«moorat in the First district. That one-third of the delegates, therefore, should on the flr»t baltot have east tfeeir votes for him, is significant of the state of public senMment in that district. In the Thirteenth Congressional district David L. Seymour was yosterday nominated by the Democrat c Convention. Ho has formerly represented the district, and in known as one rf tbe staunch friends of Don Daniel S. Dickinson. Ills election Is somewhat pr.- blemetic*!. Oiin, the present member, is renominated, and, in the present posture of affairs, has the best prospect of success. The morning papers will famish you with full de tails of the result of the Congressional Conventions held lost even'ng. In the Fourth district Elijah F. Purdy was nomina ted in place of John Kelly, whose orbs are sot open the sheriffalty, worth forty or fifty thotnand per an num, clear—some persons, of more lively Imaginative power*, placing it as high as one hundred thousand. In the Fifth, and Sixth, and Seventh districts, Meo’ay, and Cochrane, And Ward, wore renominated by accla mation. In the Eighth (Horace P. Clark’s) only one formal ballot was takon, with the following result: David 8. Jackson, 6; Anson F. Herrick, 3; Horaco F. Clark, 3; ei-Juatlco Pierson, 4; Andre Froment, 4; Gourad Swackhamer, 2 ; Garret Stryker, Jr., 2; Jas.

Of these per sons, one Malcom Matthews was Indicted for at tempting to shoot, with a rifle, one Marshall Elam, belonging to tb« opposite party. Tbe-caafe was tried to-day, and resulted in the conviction of Mat thews The trial over, one of the witnesses, Benjamin Allen, and the before-mentioned Elam, met open the street, and after a short Altercation a fight took place between them, in which Elam discharged two B v o's from a rpvolver at Alton, one of which took (foot in his abdomen. He also attempted to dis charge a third shot, but the pistol missel fire, whereupon he commenced beating Allen with it, giving him some severe blows upon the head. The oombs'ants were finally separated, and as soon as he found himself free Elsm ran, as it is supposed, to cfoapo arrest. He was accompanied by bis brothor William. They took direc tion, running down the road into a deen ravine, [ whore they were overtaken or come upon hv A. J. i Hatfield, deputy sheriff, who shnt Marshall Elam, | giving him a wound which proved fatal in fifteen minutes. The cn*irecorarounUy is greatly agitated about the matter, and each man has his opinion concern ing it. All agree that Hatfield was too rash ; bnt there is a variety of opinions as to whether he has committed a cold-blooded murder or cau he justi fied as acting in discharge of his official duty. That your readers may see how the case stands, I give the substance of the testimony of some of the witnesses upon bis examination' It should he mentioned first, however, that he has been Identi fied with the Allen party. Just before the fight of Elam and Allen,ooanrred, he was seen by seve ral persons rolling up his sleeves, making violent gestures,-using violent language, and calling upon any one who had anything against Mm to “ pitch in.” He bad been drinking freely. Elam waa at the time present, and it is generally supposed that Hatfield’s language waa intended to call him or his friends out. While this was going on, Al len made his appearance in the crowd, with the result as before stated William Elam testified that when his brother and himself got down into the ravine be heard Hatfield osll to his brother, “ You are a dead man;” that deceased and witness stopped; that Hatfield appeared immediately, descended into the ravine, put hie pistol close to deceased’s breast, and fired ; that they then both reached Hatfield; that he does not know if deceased snd Hatfield clenched before the shot; that they wore close enough to have done so. as tbo olothes of deoeased were burnt bv the powder of the pistol. Wm. .Fleming testified that wheu heoame op to the parties in the ravine, he inquired of William Elsm how the affair occurred ; that his answer was, , that when they saw Hatfield coming, his brother went towards him and olenched him; that a short tussle ensued, followed by Hatfield’s shooting; that Hatfield said’to witness, “he resisted me, and I have shot Mm, I suppose badly; arrest that man,” pointing to William, “ they resisted me.” As has already been stated, there Is a great va riety of opinion oonoermng this affair. _ Many think the shooting was entirely unnecessary, as Elam was not armed. Hatfield has not been committed He {8 in the oastody of an officer, bat not in jiil. CITY ITEMS.
