Pennsylvania Redeemed ! ! ! XVfm F. JoSnislou, elected Governor. Official majority 351. It is with feelings, of no ordinary emotion that we make the above announcement. Late on Fri day evening, the last returns were received at Harrisburg, and upon a careful investigation it was ascertained that Gov. Johnston's official ma jority is three hundred and fifty-one votes. This information was communicated, with lightning speed to all parts of the Union, where the Mag netic Telegraph is established, and thrilled the hearts of thousands of Whigs, whilst it carried dismay lo the ranks of Loco Focoism. For up wards of a week our opponents, had clung to the vain hope that some news would reach them con firming their wish that Longstreth was elected Their lying newspapers kept up their spirits by publishing false returns and unfounded rumors of majorities, until they actually believed they had escaped a Waterloo defeat by the skirt of their teeth. But the official news Came at last and dis sipated all their fond dreams'.' And now"" their overthrow can no longer be concealed. The triumph of the Whigs is truly glorious. Theyought the grand battle upon principle; and tht)se principles are how victorious. Their stan dard bearerT travelled through the State and spoke to thousands of his iellow-citizensf charming them with his eloquence and "convincing lhem by his unanswerable arguments, jffe portrayed. the "Ta . riff fraud of 1844,1' in its proper light, anricalled 3 upon Pennsyivanians to rebuke it. .And they have Vdone so. Immortal honor to the Keystone State, '.'for this great result. Her voice has gone forth, and the powers at Washington tremble in their 'places. They see in this manifestation ,of the popular will, the signal of lheir doom and lookf for a most mortifying defeat on the 7th of Novem ber. Arouse, then, friends of General Taylor, in tycitfr. might, and resolve that you will do your 4 whole' duty at the Presidential Election. t.

The,Ne Brunswick Fredontan-?triumphantly !ineetshe ailegaba of the opriti"pir that; General,' f rJVwtf"at iM umc, disposes ofahe charge.sb freejy bandiea4by'Lbco? foco demagogues, that General Taylor's friends " go it blind," as the phrase is supporting their candidate solely on the ground of availability, with- 6TiiYegaTatoVh doctrines Is there a man, it observes, with this objection on, his lips, who honestly believes his own allegation? Do "the men who complain that General Taylor cannot be drawn or driven to aiprofessidn of his politicaljfaithcosider what they, say.! General Taylor,declares tbatheConptituti.on of. the. Uni ted States is.thejplatfqrm upon, whjch he would .administer the government. Is 4he -Constitution not a system of political principles 14 xOr Js it too obscure a systemjtha wp. cannot guess-how a man "would act while honestly confirming to it! True, it may be said that men interpret the Cnn'r stitution differentlywhile, equally professing to adhere to it and, says the objector, General Tay lor may interpret it after 'a fashion of his own, as Jackson did, or according 'to Locofoco fashion. But that.objection forestalled! by .Gen. Taylor, for he says that he should feel bound to under stand the Constitution as it has been expounded b.ylhe highest authorities and acquiesced in by the-people. Still more explicitly he tells us that he embraces that view of the instrument which the early Presidents adopted. .He regards it as hav ing been faithfully1 and correctly understood and practised by Washington, whose views he adopts as his own. And, still further he says, that, of the statesmen of ounovvn day, he considers Mr Clay; Mr. Crittenden, &a; holdinglo the true Washing tdnian reading of the Constitution ; and more than that, he tells us that he regards the Locofocoism of the present day, a gross and dangerous depar ture from constitutional principles and the exam ples of the republican fathers. Add to this his declaration, - that the people, through Congress, possess the right, with which the President may not meddle, to' pass tariff and internal improve ment bills as they may see fit. Now if this is notdefining his position and avow ing his political faith, we do not see how General Taylor is to do it. If General Taylor has no po litical principles, then the Constitution has none Washington had none the leading statesmen', as Clay, Crittenden arid others, have none. If Taylor has no principles or holds them obscure ly, then, further; the profession by an honest man that he is a Whig; means nothing, for Gen. Tayi lor says he is a Whig. The fact is, General" Taylor is the only candi date in the field who does make a full avowal of bis principles. T.he platform of Gen. Cass is made up of a set of harrow Locofbcq dogmas, pro pounded by an irresponsible, self constituted Con vention, and adroitly drawn to catch votes ; but it omits altogether a multitude of subjects of the greatest importance, concerning which we have no. avowal of Cass' opinions. The Buffalo can didate 13 on a still narrower plafform the" single idea of Free Soil, and a stolen one at that. Cass, the protege arid candidate of a clique is pleased to put in his mouth, subject to the explanations and additions which may be covertly given in iracts and fraudulent lives. Van Buren, the can didate of a section, sets tip his standard, with Its one stolen principle, which gives the lie to his whole life. General Tavlor, the candidate of the Whigs and of the people, very properly arid wise ly refers, for the exposition of his principles, to the Constitution under which die people live to that Constitution of which the Whigs have been the great upholders and defenders.. The great and impressive' feature in the inau guration of an American President is the oath of fidelity not. to the Baltimore or Buffalo platforms but to the Constitution of the Vnited. States. Aware of that, and impressed with the, living prin ciples and awful sanctions o that instrument, beneral .1 aylor points it nov. as his political creed, just as he expects to, refer to it here.after as the chart .of his administration. Ijf .there are those who maintain, that it signifies nothing, to pro fess acceptance of it as a, creed, they must also re gard the oath to it as void of meaningt A Trick upon Stage Robbers. There have lately been numerous robberies of trunks from the . stages between Erie andtWestfield. A novelplan was hit upon lastweek, by . Mr, S. Clark,, the agent at the. latter place, :for capturing the rascals who commuted thedepredationsiu. The Fredoni?i Censor says, that, on Thursday night last as, .the stage was,about to leave Westfield. for NorthEast, unbeknown to , the driver or passen gers) he was safely buckled into .the hind boot a mong the trunks, aqd, thus placed in anbushsr- ,ted off.' T.he, .stage had proceeded but about a mile, and was ascending, hill, w(ien Q. felt.some- body at work upon the straps,, in the act of unloos ing them., This being finally-accomplished, and. the leather top thrown up "by the robbers, Clark sprang out and seized one of them-, upon, which the stage passengers were alarmed and came to the rescue. In the meantime the other freQ-bopfers took, tp their heels.1 The brd caught, whose, name is J3vjght Onfey of We'stfieldwas then, tajcen.to Westneld, and on Saturday was arrainged on two charge; 1st. Qf having, stolen trunks from the stage, at previpua times, anl2d, for the last attempt at robbery.. On the latter charge he was epmmij- ted for trial, and bound o?er in the sum of ,$1,000. u' AH'Wfdpws o?'Revoluii6nary'aptdiesn prerjoua to ISArheQelod pfnsjjonji: 4v fi' ,d Gov. Johnston.

In theFourth Congressional District, such gross frauds in the election have, been discovered, that Mr. Littell.the Whig candidate, is.. preparing to contest the right of John RlbbinsJr.'.t a seat in Congress. . At some of the -polls it appears Mr. Robbins is returned as having a majority greater than the whole number of votes polled. . T6 raise a dust, and divert public attention, as soon as these frauds were exposed, the' Locofoco leaders raised a cry that Schuylk'll courity; had been carried for the Whigs by fraudi It is well known what caused the revolution in the coal re gion.. tThe fraud and deception practiced by the Polkites in 1344, to carry this State, and the Anti American, labor-oppressing Tariff they established in 1840, did the business : and those . "who, for a time were indifferent, have now felt the evil, and demanded by their votes that it 'be. remedied; That is the. matter in Schuylkill. Another Stupendous Fraud in . Embryo! We have reliable intelligence from New York, that arrangements are in progress there, for the. perpetration of another stupendous fraud upon the people of Pennsylvania at the coming Presidential eletion. In a single ward of that city, bur friends have ascertained that about one hundred men have been, engaged to come into this, State to. vote at the coming election for Cass aud Butler, arid we warn our friends throughout the. State, therefore, to'be on the look out for an extensive importation of voters, and to prepare themselves to defend their rights against these vile agents of Locofocoism. j We give this warning to our friends in time, and hope they will not permit it o pass by unheeded'. New, York is given up bv the friends of Cass, as hopeless, and, they will-consequently ship as many of thensvoters to Pennsylvania as .they can find lodgments for. - Indeed it is well known,. that ;se.vr eral prominent custom-house officers of this city, have for several days past, been in New York, and it is, more than probable that-vthe object of their mission is toco-opeiate wjth the Cass leaders-there in perfecting such measures as will' carry Pe'nri'- sylyania. , Wfl Q9w. thrpfnre. to our friends, be on vour guard, for these imported voters will not only be distributed in the several waids of the city and county of Philadelphia, ;butthrougout all the coun ties bordering on' New York and New Jersey, Dollar' Weekly News From the Minersi Journal.

Tribune, a package containing $3,700 was stolen from1 on board one-of the boats plying between this' 'City and Norwich, Conn.; and thus far no satisfactory clue has been obtained likely to lead to the recov ery of the money. Yesterday a negro, well known to the public as Bob Moore, and one of New-England's fair daughters, a young woman who gaye her name as Maria Hutchinson, were arrested at a, house in Mulbery-st. on suspicion of having committed the robbery. On questioning .the latter respecting her acquaintance with Moore, she sta ted that she was the daughter of a respectable and and influential citizen of Vermont, and that about six weeks ago, in consequence of an altercation with her father, she ran away from home, and in Boston got acquainted with a colored sailor, ha'med Hutchinson, whom she married, tand, avowed her intention of returning hometwith him, in order to mortify her. parents as much as possible, on .ac count of the course of conduct which they had pursued towardher. After being married toHutch inson about a fortnight, he shippedon board a ves sel at Boston ratherprecipitately, having previous ly become acquainted with'Mobre'. and introduced him to his wife.

One of the speakers said the position of Mr. Van Buren and his supporters, was like that of a negro ,a,t a camp meeting down in Tennessee. The preacher was descanting very pathetically on the awYul situation of sinners, and had wprked hisbarer into a high state of nervous excitement. " Bredren," said he, "here's de broad track, and dere's de narrer track ; one leads to hell and de odder a damriaiion!"
