We publish elsewhere the letter of an in felligent and judicious correspondent con- tering the state of politics in Pennaylvanta, Those of our readers who desire information upon the subject will find his observations worthy of their attention, The canvass in that State has been con- Qucted with singular quietness by both par- tica. There have been no great demonstra- Hons, and noisy excitement is nowhere vi ble. But there is no apathy and no idleness in either cainp. Both Democrats and Repub- licans are earnestly at work, The State is canvassed by both with extraordinary care. Every county, evege town, every school dis- trict is unusually Well organized. The pre- parations to get all the voters to the polls are a8 thorough ns possible, ‘These prelimina- ries having been fully completed, we pre- sume that the season of mass meetings and public disploys will now be Lmmediately in- bugurated It seems that each of the parties proferses to be confident of carrying the State in Oc- tober. The Republicans set down their pros- peetive majority at from 12,000 to 18,000. The Democrats more modostly reckon theirs at 5,000 to 10,000, Which of these calcula tions is correct the event will soon deter. mine. In 1867, when a Judge of the Su preme ! eted, the Democratic candidate ty of 902. In 1866 Gen, Geany, the Republican candidate for Governor, beat ten CLrysEn, the Domocratic candid. yimore then 17,000 majority. In 1865 the present Anditor-Gen- eral, Gen, HAnTranrn, was elected by 22,660 taajority, In 1664 Mr, Lincons's majority was 20,000. In 1802 the Demoeratle major: ity was 8.524, Those varying figures are, on the whole, rather favorable to the Repub- Ucan anticipetions; and if next week Maine vhould follow the example of Vermont by casting an increased Republican majority, the probability that Pennsylvania will do the «ame thing will become very strong in- deed, Any way, that State is now the chief bat. tle ground of the two parties, They both know this, and will not fail to act according. ly. Their greatest efforts, their elrewdert lotrigues, their loudest orators will be de- voted to Pennsylvania, ‘Their money will De'sent there in liberal supplies; and while local committees und candidates in other parts will have the pleasure of paying their pwn olectioneering expenses, in| Penusyl- vanin they will bo paid from abroad, with fratitude for the opportunity of rendering tuch a service, If the Democrats lose the Btate in October, their case will be hopeless, Ifthe Republicans fail to carry it, the blow Will stagger them pretty severely, — for Negro Suflrage. ‘ol, Wintam Brows, of Horatio Seymou The statement of C Nicholasville, Ky,, has been before the public | for several day He alleges that Just before the meeting of the National Democratic Con vention at Tammany Holl, a platform was Urawn up by those progressi who desired the nomination of Chief Justice Coase. This platform, which is published in full in this paper, contained an expheit af- firmation of the principle of universal suf: frage for negrocs as well as white men, It ‘was submitted to the Chief Justice, who ap- proved it, and was willing to accept the nomi- uation for the Presidency upon it. It was also submitted to Goy. Skymoun. He a) proved it likewise, and desired that the Chi Justice should be the candidate on that plat- form, Col. Brown is a well known politician of Kentucky. He refers any one who may doubt his knowledge of the facts in question to the Hon. Joun J. Cisco and Col. Jon D. Van Buren of this city, to Gen, J.8, Wirt Ney of Boston, the Hon, ALEXANDER Lona of Cincinnati, and the Hon. Hamitton Sarr of Cannelton—all names that require bo endorsement. But as Col, Brown's etato- ments have not been contradicted by any one having suthority, they must be taken as proved and established without any further testimony, ‘The facts that Goy, Seysovn was for the nomination of Chief Justice Coase, and that he vy doctrine of universn) suffrage, in its broadest application, prove him to be a statesman of a grander reach of thought and a higher aspi- ration than even his most enthusiastic ad- mirers have been wont to represent him. He belongs, as these facts demonstrate, to the progressive and not the reactionary wing of the Democracy. His mind does not linger and dwell among the useless débris of the past. It reaches forward to the new issues of the future, It is imbued with the vital spirit of the times, It is alive, as the great mind of ive, with the inspiration of JEFFERSON was universal and comprehensive democracy. There can now be no question that the Dest policy of the party was that which Governor SeyMoun fuvored. It did not pre- vail in the Convention. A very different platiorm was preferred, and a candidate who did not seek the nomination was selected. In the platform there is nothing of the great Democrats | also in favor of incorporating in the platform of the party the great democratic in that which Chief Justice Governor Stymoun united in approving; but, on the other hand, the bolder, more hopeful, and more philosophical membere of the party may well console themselves with the reflection that their candidate really be- Neves in those principles, and will doubtless make them the guiding star of his adininis- tration, if he should be elected. oo Expulsion of Negroes fron the Georgia Legistatare. The Legislature of the State of Georgia hos expelled twenty-five of its members because they were negroes. No misconduct or disorderly behavior was alleged ae a reason for this action, but it was put upon the distinct and unqualified ground that the men affected by it were of the negro race, In taking this remarkable step the Georgia Legislotare has not exercised any unusual or unprecedented power. From time immemorial every deliberative Dody has claimed the privilege of expelling any of its members it chose to, without being called in question for its act. Usually, indeed, some charges affecting the moral character of the persons expelled are formally preferred, investigated, and proved, as an appropriate preliminary, The Conetitue tions of most of our States, that of Georg’ included, clearly contemplate no such ground of expulsion as a mere matter of dif- ference of race or complexion, Still, if, in other respects, all the constitutional requirements are complied with, tho Legislature of New York, for instance, might expel all the black- haired or all the red-haired men who had seate in it, and there would be no preventing it, All the expelled could do would be to go, these negro representatives fo Georgia will lave to go, back to their constituents for re- election, Besides, when the time comes around, the people of the State at large enn, if they eee fit, punish those engaged in the expulsion by leaving them out of office in their turn, It is doubtful whether this remedy will avail much to the sufferers in this Georgia case, A large majority of the white voters in Georgia, as everywhere else in the South, are thoroughly hostile to having negroes hold any kind of civil office ; and so far from censuring those who have given expression to this feeling, they aro much more likely to sustain them. Unless the negroes can rally to their side enough voters to give them the con- trol of a majority of the legislative districts, their representatives may be expolled as often as they are clected, and thus the old order of things, when the white men a monopoly of political power, be practically restored, It ia noticeable that this expulsion of the negro members comes not at the commence: ment of a session, and before the transaction of any business, but efter some months of apparent acquiescence in the propriety of their preseuce, ‘This circumstance would dicate that the dominant party in the Inture has come to a conelnsion contrary to the opinion they had previously entertained of tho necessity or the policy of coneilinting the negro voters, and is henceforth resolved to wage open wer upon them, What effect this will have on the Presidential election remains to be seen. If the Demoérata, who have thus far had the assistance of many negro voters, can still outnumber all the negroes and all the white Republicans combined, the Stato may be ear: ried for Seymour; but if the negroes and white Republicans outnumber them, and the negroes vote, ax they now probably will, with the Republicans in a body after this clear revelation of the intentions of the Democrats, the result will of course be tho other way, It is remarkable, too, that this action of a Democratic Legislature should come right upon the heels of the revelations which have recently been made of Mr, Seymour's willingness to approve of negro wut. frage. It presenta the spectacle of a por. tion of a great political party taking action in one direction, whily its leader, in heart, if not in words, is going in another, uch a division is not a good sign, but bodes evil to the party, — More Suns Wanted?

Seneiersateene The Canadian Parliament, at its last ses. sion, reduced the sulary of the Governor. General from £10,000 tu £8,000 a year, with an offivial residence and a liberal allowance fur household expenses, Like all other acts of eolo- nial Parliaments, this one bad to be ratified by the British Colonial Secretary before it could take effect, and, as the Governor-General isan ap- pointes of the Seeretary, the latter naturally re. fuses his assent to the reduction in question, The Canadians must, therefore, not only be ruled by Governor not of their own choosing, but they se and If they enjoy that sort of thing, nobody else ouglit to compinio ; but we should think th would prefer to be members of this glorious Union, —<—— Maryland is just now a caldron, seething and boiling with discontent in the dominant tinks, Swann’s party has split off, and it is strong enough to give the State to Grant, by « union with the Repubticans, He did not got the Democratic nomination for Congress in Winter Dovia's old distelet, but a man named Duncan McPherson did, who neeepted his honors with « railing speech against Seward and Grant, and wore ha could, with one hundred Southerners, whip Grant aid two bandred Northerners in « fistiouff fight, All over the State the leading Swann men are organizing for Grant.

This we belicve is the first time he has ever been nominated for Congress, but he bas repeatedly served in the Legislature of this State, and was a momber of our recent Constitutional Convention, As the Democratio majority in the First District is at least @ thousand, a regular nomination there must be considered as equivalent to an elec Jaws Brooxs, the brother and business part- ner of the candidate in the First District, is now the Representative of the Fighth District, where, we presume, be will bo revominated and re- elected by his Democratic fellow citizens, ellen We learn with ore pleasure that Joun T, Horrwan will open the campaign by delivering a apeech at Buffalo on Tuesday next, This is eminently proper.
