Tho Pennsylvania election this fall will be more important, politically, than any election which has been hold in the Keystone State forthe Inst twenty- five ycare. It involves the political control of the whole Commonwealth for muny years to come, A Governor is to be elected for tour years; aleo a Licu- tenant Governor; and, since the Governor appoiwis the Attorney Goneral, these officers will control tho pardoning power, This prerogative, in consequence of certain recent couvictions and soutences of promi- nent offenders, has aseumed a singular importance. Chiet Justice Agnow’s rottroment leaves the Su- promo Court of the Stale with six jadger— three republicans aod three democrats, Tho election of bis suscessor, as the seventh judge, will d termine the political complexion of, that court for the next four years cortainly, aud probably for a lopger period. A new Congressional delegation is to be selected, and a Legislature is to be chosen which will designute a now United States Senator. Upon ita cast depends the tate of Don Cameron—the Mile und death of tho Camoron dynasty, This consideration alone {s enough to give extraordinary zt to the compaign. 3 THR THIRD PARTY.
