Pennsylvania will choose a Governor, | beside 24 Congressmen, a United States Sen- ator in place of Edgar Cowan, part of her Senate, and an Assembly. Ohioelects 19 Con- gressmen, Indiana ii, with legislators, anda United States Senator in place of Henry 8S Lane, who declines & second term. Iowa will choose six members of Congress, with a Leg- islature and certain State officers. Last year, at the election of State Auditor, Pennsylvania gave a Republican majority of The vote was light. In 1564 the State gave President Lincolu a majority of 20,031- ‘The year betore, (1563,) Curtin, Republican, was elected Governor by 2 majority of 15,325. These majorities show but little change in the State for three years past. Obie, in I-64, gave Lincoln a majority (home end soldiers’ vote) ot 59,556, but last year Gen- era! Cox was elected Governor by only 29,936 majority. There are two strong Democratic | districts im the State, (sth—Mangen’s, and | i2th—Van Tramp’s,) and two weak Republican districts, (lth—James M. Ashley’s, and [3th— Columbus Delano’s.) At the Presidential election in 1964, Indiana gave Mr. Lincoln a majority of 20,199. Tne | Legislature to be chosen will elect a Senator yiace of Hon. H.S. Lane. The Republicans bad © majority of ten in the Legisjature of int5. Indiana has three Democratic districts. lowa,m 1864, gave President Lincoln the large majority of 39,479, but last year the Re- publican candidate for the judgeship was elected by the reduced majority of 21,022. The New York World says in reference to the spproaching contest in these States: ~The great importance of ihe ensuing Con- etessional elections does not depend on their reistion to the early admission of the Southern Senators and Representatives, but on their re- iation to the next Presidential election. The ten excluded States make a difference of sey- enty votes im the electoral colleges—titty tor their Representatives and twenty for their Senaters. The Radicals are maneuvering to exclude these seventy electoral votes, To toi their intention is the most solid advantage that We can gam in the approaching elections, “Happily, we do not peed, for this purpose, to elect & majority, but only one-third of the mem= bers cf the House. As the laws now siand,those tes are entitled to their due number of elec- toral votes, and the President ot the Senate would be compelled to receive and count them. have the Seutbern electoral votes counted, hot becessary to repeaia law. but only event the passage ot a new one; a state of ts which makes a great difference in the ngressions) strength needed by the Union. t To repeal an existing law requires a ma- jority of both Houses: but to defeat a new law which the President disapproves, require> on- ly one-third of the members of one House, and one vote additional. If we can elect one-third ' of the House of Kepresentatives, we shall ef- fectually countervail the chief object of the Kadicais in their policy of exelasion. A gan of twenty odd Congressmen will give us seven. ty electoral votes which we should otherwise lose.” Se See Se Bap ror Girt Concert SwixpierRs.—A dis. patch trom Chicago staies that. a meeting of the | victims of the swindle known as the United States Gift Concert was heid~in that city on Thursdsy, and it was rssolved to prosecute J.

Upon the Committee’s being ushered into the presence of thé President. General (rragger, as Obairman of the. Committee, read to the proceedings of the Convention. Geni Grar- ger premised bis reading by remarking that the object of the Convention, composed as it bad been of patriotic soldiers and sailors, who bad tought solely for the restoration of the Union, wee'to devise means for an’ early res- toration@g,contidence and goo teeling among the whole people, and a restoration of the Union, not merely in theory, but in fact, bated upon the Constitution. The men who as- sembled at Cleveland were men whose loyalty and love of country had been tested on every battle-field of the Repubhe daring the rebei- lion. They were inspired by no other motive or ambition except the nat’onal ee They met at Cleveland actuated by the’ same mo- tives which guided them in the field. The re- sult of their deliberations was summed up in the following resolution T our gbject in ‘aking up arms to suppress: tue late rebellion Was to defend and maintain the supremacy of the Corstitation. and to preserye the Union, with afl the dignity, equality, and rights of the several States unimpaired, and not in any spirit of oppression, or from any desire of uest or subjugation: and that whenever there shall be ‘any armed resistance to te lawfully constitu- ted authority of the nation, either in the South, in the Nor.h, in the East or in the West, emu- lating the»self-sacrificing patriotiam of our Revotuti y foretathers, we will again pledge to support our lives, our fortunes and our eftcred honers.” In conclusion, General (iranger said he be- lieved that in ret pagent of the Conven- ton were reflected the sentiments of the gr: at Mass, not only of those who had borne arms in the cause of the Union, but of patriotic men throughout the-whole land; and expressed the hope that under President Johnson’s adminis - tration the Union would be restored, and that it would be as enduring as time. THE PRESIDENT’S PEPLY, The President said in response Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Co.nmitcee - 1 bave no formal reply to make, but the pre- sentation of the recorded proceedings of the @levelnnd Con vention is peculiarly acceptable tome. To receive the encouragement and the expression of confidence in me of gentlemen so intelligent and patriotic inspires me with mereated confidence to progres in the dis- charge ofmy duties in strictly adhering to and maimtdining the Constitation of the country. You bave performed your part in the field. That bas become a part of the couutry’s history; but aiter having done that, there is, as you Have just evinced, an equally important part to perferm, as citizens. That duty you are doing, and the part that you are performing now is equally important if no, of superior moment to that which you dis- charged as coldiersand sailors of the Union. While the war was a physical contest, con- nected, ofcourse. with intellect and intelli- gence es faras the,science of war was con- cerned, thesituggle wow is putely ofa civil cbaracter for the establishment of a basis upon which our institutions are to ret hereafter, The query which now arises is, whether the character and genius of the nation is to be subveried or whether it. is to be settled upon the principles of the Constitation. To each and all of you is known the part’ that 1 have berne since this civil war commenced, both in the campaign and apart .rom it. I must refer you to thatas eyidence of what my conduct will be in the future. b have been co-operating with you in every capacity in which you have been engazed since the struggle com- menaced. I = Wenare AoW at the most important «crisis Of our country’s history—whén we are to fix 4 substantial gpd, enauring basis.upon which the imstitations of the country are to rest. We are to return to the ( onstitutional limite— establishing the great fact that this isa Goy- ernment dimitations—that it has a written Constituaem, and thatit- boudaries are to be observed-and Strictly gaarded, if free Govern. ment is to exist. And, comtng out of a rebel- Hon, we ought to demonstrate to mankind that a free Government cannot exist upon hatred and distrust. and i-will, and that with us the time has come for a’ re- establishment of all the relations of the States to the Federal Government. » This I look upon as being of equal importance with any. part of the war, if mot the most important part. I have more than J intended; but I re- peat that: encouragement, the countenance, and the confidence given me, coming from the souree it doe, is peculiarly acceptable to me; and, God being willing, 1 will, with your help, pursue the course I have been pur- suing im the effort to save our Government. 1 know it has been said that the founders or government are entitled to the most conspicu- ous placein history; but my opinion is thatthe precerers of government should occupy the most important page, Let us all perform oar part according to the theory and genius of the Government, and the resnit will be the pre- servat'on of our institutions, and we will take the place to which history will assign us. sorely mtrocnced ge Botta soa chat in a planahot interview they withdrew ARRIVAL OF TROOPS. ‘The arrival of troops in this vicinity has. given rise to exaggerated rumors of the intend. ed concentration of a large military force (from twenty-five to thirty thousand)here.
