The Result iu Pennsylvania.
The Election in Pennsylvania, has resulted
in a greater triumph than the moat sanguine
Whig in the State ever anticipated. We have
not only elected our Canal Commissioner, and
secured a large proportion of the Congressional
Delegation, but wo have also chosen a major
i'y of the State Senators and Members of the
House of Representatives. The people hare
most signally rebuked the base fraud practised
upon them in 1844, by Polk and Dallas, and
their friends.
The Victory in the Keystone.
We have elected James M. Power, Canal
Commissioner, by a majority of between 8 and
10,000 voles!
We have elected Seventeen of the twenty
four Congressmen. The Locos Six, and the
Natives One I
We have secured Eiohteen State Senators,
giving us a clear majority of three in that body,
without the vote of the" Native member from
Philadelphia county.
We have elected Fifty-eight or Sixty Mem
bers of the House of Representatives. Giving
us a majority of from 16 io 20 in that branch
of the General Assembly.
Well done, Pennsylvania ! She is Whig all
over.
Our Districts.
The result in the Congressional, Senatorial
and Representative Districts, of which Monroe
forms a part, is not as good as we could have
wished; but infinitely better than we could rea
sonably have expected. Neither of our candi
dates are elected; but the majorities against
ihem are so small that we may justly be more
proud of their vote, than our opponents are of
the election of their friends Our young and
whole-souled candidate for Congress, H. D.
-Maxwell, Esq., is beaten only 1171, in a Dis
trict, which two years ago gave Mr. Polk near
ly 4300 majority. A truly glorious result.
Had the election been 10 days distant, he
would have been elect'ed Charles W. Pitman,
nllhniltrh hr nfflprorl lllmaolf fnr Qonilnr nnlif n I
to "'"""i uilijr
few days before the election, too Jate to have
his Tickets circulated at all the election dis
tricts, came within 68 votes of being elected.
We need hardly say that ten times that differ
ence might have been made up for him, if his
friends had had but one day more to work for
him. So with the Volunteer Assembly Tick
et ; a few days more would have insured its
success. As it was, it received a majority in
Old Northampton. Glory enough for one day.
Ohio is Coming,
By partial returns received from Ohio, it is
rendered almost certain that Bebb, the Whig
candidate for Governor is elected by a hand
some majority, and that the Whigs hare earned
a majority of their Congressmen and members
of the State Legislature. The storm which
raged so extensively in Pennsylvania, also ex
tended to Ohio, and drove out the Buckeye
Boys to avenge the Fraud of 1844. This is
but the beginning of the end. Polk and Dallas
will hear more thunder, or we are greatly mis
taken. 2ew York
Holds her election on Tuesday the 3d of
November next. A Governor, Congressmen,
end members of ihe Legislature are to be cho
sen. We are anxious .to hear the Empire
State speak.
Georgia.
In Georgia, the Wbigs gained a Congress
man at the recent election. Last year the del
egation stood 3 Whigs, 5 Locos. Next year
it will stand 4 wnigs, 4 Locos. In 1844,
Georgia voted for Polk and Dallas. The Qon
gressional majority is now neutralized ; and
another rebuke administered to the perpetrators
of the Tariff fraud.

Singular Questions. The New York
Tribune puts the following queries to the Gov
ernment organ at Washington :
1. Has not Gen. Taylor recently intimated
to the Government his desire to be aided or re
lieved in the command-in-chief against Mexico?
2. Has not Gen. Scott recently urged upon
the Government his claims to command the
Army advancing on Monterey, and been coldly
refused ?'
3. Is it not the purpose of the President to
appoint one of the new Generals of his own
creation to the chief command of our forces in
vading Mexico ?
We ask for information, and on good grounds.

the Hon. Mr. Sevier lhat the people

that they cannot so easily be whipped in to
support odious measures as he imagined.
A Reason. The Poitsville, Pa., Journal,
says : A Democrat, on Friday, in cogitating
over the result of the election, gave as a reason
for their defeat, that the flood on election day
was so great, that the rafts al the head of Salt
River broke loose, and the Whig3 floated down
in such numbers that they were overwhelmed.
Perhaps it was so.
Icebergs are Floored !
They stand utterly ashat at the coolness of
an Administration which rode into power on
the cry of" Divorce of Bank and State," and
which has since been sermonizing on and leg
islating for the divorce" aforesaid, and depict
ing the awful consequences of any intercourse
between the said bank and State, now exerting
all its financial science and address to induce
the banks or bankers to lend that same Govern
ment several millions of dollars. If you were

live, you would suppose that a virtuous abhor
rence of all banks, or dealings with banks, was
the ruling idea of "the powers that be," and
the next you hear of Secretary Walker is round
among the banks, cap in hand and smiles un
brow, modestly asking these " corrupt" and
" soulless" monopolies to take five or six mil
lions from their regular customers, who pay
seven per cent, for it, and lend it io him on
Treasury note security at five per cent, to be
