THE OCTOBER ELECTIONS. Pennsylvania, Onto, Ulinots and lewa.

In Pennsylvania the can- vass has been not only animated and exciting, but bitter- Beas and it} fecling haye been egendered between the ad- herentz of the two political parties to a greater degree than was over known before, and an almost deadly hate bas grown up between the opposing partisans, The leaders of each party seem to be sanguine of success, and many aro s0 euthusiastio ag to claim for their respettive Uckets majorities ranging between twenty and thirty thousand... The candidates for Governor are:—Lemo- cratic, George W. Woodward; republican, Andrew 6.

Governor Cartin, on tho othor hand, is held up apan abolitionist. This is equally an error, He may bo termed a moderate or conservative republican, and «8 sueh it is reported he has wou tho diepleasure of the lead. ers of the radicals. He is very popular among tlie soldiers, and there is hardly a man in the army from Pennsyl- ‘Vania who does not wish bis success, He was elected Governor in 1860 by over thirty-two thousand majority; but the political opinions of the people underwent o change in 1862, when the vote of tho State was as follows:— Besides the election of Governor, there are to be chosen op the general ticket in Pennsylvania a Judge of the Supreme Court and members of theLegisiatare. The usual county officors are also to be elected, and the people are to decide upon tarce proposed amendments to tbe con- stitution, one of which, if adopted, will allow the soldiers: to vote, The following are the amendments:— Sec. 4.

The issue, for the Grst time since the commencement of the wat in any loyal State, is clearly and plainly between tne war and peace parties in other words, the conserva- tive democrats and republicans against the copperheads.
