The Republican Platfelli. ` 7 l : -
Senator SEWARD, of New York, made
I a speech at Px-heater, in thaaStail, a
few days ago, which shows clearly and
conclusively the design of the Republi
can leaders, and coming from each a
distioguished man, the acknowledged
leader of sectionalism in the North, it.,
should arrest the attention of all lovers
of the Union in every quarter of the
Republic. Like Lastetn.s, of Illinois,'
he boldly proclaims the doctrine that tall
the States of the Union must either be
come entirely elaveholding or entirely
free-labor communities, and that a
grand battle; with no truce or com
promise, must be kept op until one or
the other of these results is accom
plished. This‘in his platform, as +la ,

every where throughout. the North,
and it implies cotnitant, unceasing agi

the cost of the Union itself. It looks
to the formation of two- greet National
parties--northern and southern-leghich,

tofore kept U 8 together, as ultimate

fortunate that be has so early laid down

The aggregate vote for President in
this ,State, in 1856, was 460,395. Of
this !}amber, 220,710 were received by
Bccass.i,s, and the remainder,
229,685, were cast for Messrs. FREMONT
and Ftwa n mut. At the election just held
the aggregate vote of the State was
only 869,246, showing a loss on ,the
vote of 1856, of 91,149. The Deinera
tievote was 171,120; the Abolition vote
-198,116; showing a Democratic loss on
the vote of 1858, of 59,590 and an Abo
lition loss of 31,589.
It is plain, judging from those statis
tics, that Pennsylvania is unchanged in
her political status. She is - sbill, as she
has been from her earliest: history, a
Demociatio State. The Opposition
have not made any gains; on the other
hand, they poll, now, over thirty thou
sand votes less than they did two years
ago. They beat us this Fall only by
getting a fuller turn oat than ours, and
it will, therefore, be but necessary for
the Democracy to bestir themselves, at
the next election, to wrest from their
foes the supremacy which they have
just obtained.
Outrageous I
WErWe are informed upon reliable
authority, that'at the Know Nothing
and Black Republican meeting held in
Bendersvillo, a few - nights previous to
the lute election, effigies of Hon. Wit
sox REILLY and CHARLES 'Wm., Esq.,
were carried about the town and burnt
in the street by Opposition brawlers!
Rumors to this effect reached us ten or
more days ago, but we preferred await
ing its proper authentication before no
ticing the outrage in our columns. Can
ft be that in a land of social and politi
cal rights, esteemed and honorable citi
zens arc to bo thus insulted for the sim
ple "offence " of being the chosen stand
ard-bearers of the old timo•honoreLl
Democratic party ? Can it be that even
common decency is to be ignored—that
politics is to be utterly demoralized—
in order that power and " spoils " may
fall into the laps of a few hungrytinnow
Nothing office-seekers? It would seem
so—and it becomes the duty of all good
citizens to ponder the revolting trans
' action, and ask themselves where such
a course of things would end under the
connivance, if not active participation,
of a sot of reckless and heartless leaders.
It is also said that at the Benders
' rifle I 00, after the election,
another arty of Mr. Will was carried
in their proceinsiott—thua piling insalt
upon insalt. But a day of severe reek
onin a 0 will come. Mark that !

A Poiuted Colloquy.
The following dialogue is said to have

opponents of Democracy in Boston :

Wilson. At the first glans° I saw ho

gaining vidtorios precisely when no

it will be now. Our Opponents are,
and have been, too busy in their ar
rtingements for 1860 to trouble them
selves much about a few State elec
tions. When their corns are all wo
shall find ourselves in a Democratic
trap. just as we did in 1856. The fact
is, Mr. Sackville, we have triumphed
in recent elections because we could not
help it. The negro does wonders at-the

small fry, but it is a poor nag whoa

They do not deny, is their last--tieceuse
they cannot, though invited to do so if
they could—the "19,149" inscription
(the Plug Ugly majority in Baltimore)
carried on one of their banners, in their
recent Jolification procession ; and yet,
on Friday week, they boldly declared
that there was "no inscription referring
directly or indirectly to the Baltimore

Star had a particle of reputation for

do the business. It should, however,

State Electiou
Elections took place last week in Now
York, New Jersey, Delaware, Illinois,
Wisconsin and Massachusetts,
New York.—ln New York city, the
entire Democratic county and judiciary
ticket is elected. lion. John Kelly, at
present a member of Congress, is elect.
ed Sheriff by about 5,700 majority, and
John Clancy, County Clerk, by about
4,000 majority. Nelson J. Waterbury's
majority for District Attorney is 2,500,
or more. The Democratic Coroners go
in by about 5,000 majority.
The majority in the city for Parker,
Democrat, for Governor, is 19,112 over
Morgan, the Republican candidate, and
12,295 ot er the combiiied vote of Mor
gan Burrows, (American,) and Gorrit
(Abolition.) Tho total vote of
Parker is 40,881, of Morgan, Republi.
can, 21,769, Burrows, Amerman, 0,944.
Last year it stood—Domocratie, 31,138;
Republican, 13,580; American, 8,014. •
For Congress, 3d district, Sickles,
Dein., beats Williamson, Know Nothing
and Black Republican union, 138 votes,
and Walbridge, Ind. l)cm., 269. In
the 4th district Barr, Dem. is elected
over Brennan, Rep., by 1,449. In the
sth district Maclay, Dein., defeats Ilata
Rion, Rep., by 819. Coehrape,
In the 6th district, is re-elected by 4,-
451 over McCurdy, union. In the 7th
district Gen. Ward, Dein., is. beaten.
1,888 by Briggs, union ; and in the Bth
district Horace F. Clarke, anti-L. Duni.,
is re-elected by 2,569.
MI the New York papers concur in
stating that, as a general thing, the
election in the city was, with some ex
ceptions, very quiet.
The Republicans elect their State
ticket by probably 15,000 majority.,—
Twotity-six Republiam Know Nothings
are elected to Congress, and seven Dem.
omits. Haskin's district is in doubt.
The Republicans and Know Nothings
united on the same Congressional can
didates. The great body of the Know
Nothing and Negro votes were also
east for the ReplibliCan State ticket.
Manachusetts.—Tho Black Republi
cans r.nd Know Nothings of Massachu
setts combined, hare again elected
Banks to the Governorship, and have
carried the members of Congreas-and
a majority in the Legielature, as usual.
Those - sterling national Democrats,
Hons. Caleb Cushing and B. F. Butler,
are Chosen to the Legislature = the for.
mer to the Senate and the latter to the
Mouse.
Delaware elects a Democratic Gover
nbr and a Democratic member of Con
gress—the former by 200, and the lat
ter by 430. The Legislature is also
Democratic, thus securing a Democra
tic United States Senator.
Afichigan.—The Republicans carry
the State, as they did in 1856, but by a
reduced majority, both in the popular
vote antthe Lezislature. The Demo
crats have guinea one of the members
of Congress, with two more districts in
doubt.
Illinoi.c—The contest was between
Douglas Democrats and the Black Re
publicans. The Congressional delega- .
tion is the same as in the present Con
gress. The test intelligence in re
gard to the Legislature is that there
will be a Douglas Democratic majority
of five in the llGuse and three in the
Senate—thus securing the re-election of
Judge Douglas to the United States
Senate.
New Jersey.—Tho Opposition elect
three members of Congress, and the
Democrats two. The Opposition have
a small majority in ,tha Legislature, but
in this are includad several anti-Lecomp

scription of Autumn, by Gallagher :
And now, beret
And what &change has passed upon the face
Of Nature, where thy waving forests spread,
Then robed is deepest green! All through the
night
The subtle frost bath plied Its mystic art,
And In the day the golden sun bath wrought
True wonderstaad the wings of morn and even
Have touched with magic breath the changing
leaves.
And now, as wanders with dilating eye .
Athwart the varied landscapes circling far,
at gorbousness, what blazonry, what pomp
Of colas% bursts upon the ravished sight 1
Here, where the maple man its yellow crest,
A golden glory; yonder, where the oak
&ands monarch of the forest, and the ash
Is girt with Same like parasite, and broad
The dog wood spreads breath a rolling field
Of deepest crimson ; and afar, where /wows
The gnarled gum, a cloud of bloodiest red!
The view from the Cemetery, at all
times attractive, is really grand in
Autumn.
liontethint About Halloween lbr Our
Juvenile Readers.
Halloween, the evening preceding All
Hallow's or All Saint's Day, which falls
upon the first of November, is still made !
the occasion of much pleasure and mer
riment for youth la.soma parts of' the
Country, although in Got:ysburg the
festival is "more honored in the breach
than in the observance." Tho passion
of prying into futurity, forms a striking
feature of Whn nature in its rude
state, in all ages of the world, and we!,
have the remains brought to mind upon I
each recurrence of "hallow eve," as
it is called in our day and generation.
If the youthful reader desires to ascer
tain why "cabbage stalks" and "nuts" •
are so inseparably Connected with Hal- 1
loween, lie has only to turn to Burns'
hamorous and pleasing poem. Ile will
there find enumerated the principal
charms and spells of that night,' so big
with prophecy- to the lads and lasses of
Scotland. The first ceremony of Hal.
loween as fierformed by our rude ances
tors hundreds of years ago, was the
pulling of " kail runts" or cabbage
stalks. They went out, hand in baud,
with eyes shut, and groping about the
garden, pulled the first stock they met
with. Its being big' or little, straight
or crooked, WM prOplietic of the site
and shape of the grand jest of all
their charms—the husband or wife. If
any earth adhered to the roots, it was
indicative of fortune; and the taste of
the heart of the stem, - (pleasant or disa
greeable) was indicative of the natural
temperer disposition. Then the stems
were placed above the door, and the
Christian name of the person whom
chance might cause to open and enter,
would be the name in question.
Old vs. Mew Qorn for Pork Making.
Conversing . with an old farmer, re
cently, ho_ stated that ono bushcl of old
corn, ground, was worth two bushels
of now corn in the ear for making
Pork. That It Is of superior quality We
don't dontit, but think this estimate of
the differenoo rather mare than facts
will warrant. Some farmers feed new
corn in. prat:ro co to old- , --both in the
sit
ungiound raw state--thinking the
grain, before it is fully hardened, more
rowdily and fully digested amisweeter,
though perhaps not so oily in character.
The point is -weirthy of the oonsiders
lion of our random, mid these wh3 can,
we hope will commanicate their expari
onea.
