hut no doubt was entertained by him of
the vote of Pensylvaiiia going decidedly,
for Jackson in November. We confess
from the large vote of2fi,C00 which Wolf
obtained three years ago, that we enter
tained no doubt of his triumphant election.
We are now satisfied, that we were not
fullv aware of the extent to which these
local questions and political combinations
had operated against the success of Mr.
Wolf. The friends of tho parties just
before the recent Election, published their
ost imates; W elf’ll friends counted on 20,15G
majiiritv, and Ritnci’sun 14.200! They
will not, however, defeat him, although
th - v will reduce his majority. Mach
less will they affect or Ind!-: the triumph
ant success of the Jackson Ticket in No
vember. Nothing has shaken our con
viction in this result. Other private
letters, that we have seen since our last
from Pennsylvania, written before the
Election came on, confirm it fully. One
of these, dated on the 8lh September, is
paw before u*—it dot-.ils the circumstan
cealhat would operate against Wolf; per
haps jeopardise his election—hut, adds
the writer, "The people will returu to
their first love upon tile question of Pres
ident, though in State questions their
aciihn musi be seainst us. The vote ol
this State is as sure for Audrew Jackson
as that ofTennessee It is vain thut tho
Opposition talk. The people lovo the

looked squally enough fur Wolf. The
welkin l ang wi'h the shouts of the Oppo
sition. And even the Philadelphia Sen-
tinei pronounced the result to be”extromo-

ran nwav with it. The prostituted “In

would curi* Rimer by from XO " 15 000
majority. The Philadelphia Coiiotgimio
eels of theN. Yoik prostituted "Enqui

of victory—and asstued Col. Webb, and
his slock jobbing friends, and the money
dealers, who will ultimately mid bitterly
rue 'heir credulity in believing two such
‘ Inquirers,” that thn“victory is complete.”

formation of an Association under (be

This “ Great Union Meeting," as it iij
