l»cnnsylvnnin Certain Against Jackson. I#" The election for Govt rnor, Members of Congress, and members of the

State Legislature, has just taken place in Pennsylvania and enough has transpired to render it certain that that great and patriotic State will go against ANDUKW JACKSON, HV from ten to twenty thousand mnjority! Never was there such nchanire in public sentiment, as has been effected in favor of free g&cernmcnt, by the friends of our cause in that State. In 18-29. Gmnr.i: WOLF, the Jackson candidate for Governor, wns elected by a majority of twentysix thousand, ovc Jo«*Ri'u RiTNnrt. the Anti-Jackson candidate. In 1S3"2, how stnndd the matter Why, this nine GEORGR WOI.F has succeeded over thissamc JOSKPII IliTXEn,bv (he lean and meagre majority of '3,000, aided, as Governor Wolf was, by the support of six or eight Clay presses, nnd upwards of ten thousand Clay rotes! These Clay-men warmly approved ihe measures of George Wolf, as Governor, and, thus approving, would not vole ugainst him,especially toaidMr. RITjvuit, ^hosc sentiments* on several questions of State polity, were extremely doubtful. ?Added to this, Gfive rr. or WOI.F united all the strength of the Ingham party, though it is well known that that party will never support ANRURW JACKSON for the Presidency. This.party will cast ten thousand voics against Jackson, at the electoral election, which, added to the Clay vote given to Wolf, will reduce Jackson's vole, in Pennsylvania, at least 15,OCX) less than that given to Mr. Wot,F. Of this there can be no doubt. The fact is, RITNKU run behind the A nti-Jackson question, in almost every county, because the Clay party could not be persuaded to unite with his friends. A fewy?wtewill con* vincc every man of this. For instance:

Only six solitary counties we here instance but we might go on and give twenty, whose Totes were simtiarly disposed. Our friends in Pennsylvania, long preceding the election, declared that if Wolf i*'was not elected by mow than '30,000 I majority, the State would be safe against Jackson. Instead of twenty 'i. thowaod, however, the majority is reduced down to fcro thousand* out of 1170j000 votes polled Resides, we have clected modern members of Coogrew, oat of 28, many of them by the

DOUBTFUL.

We put South-Carolina, Indiana, and Ohio down as doubtful, though we feel pretty certain their votes will go against Jackson. Should South Carolina not vote at all, which is probable, then 141 votes will elect, being a majority of the wjbole. Gen. Jackson cannot be. clectedwithout all the doubtful States. HE CANNOT OBTAIN THEM

OIIIO.—-The returns from Ohio render it certain that LUCAS, the Jackson Candidate for Governor, js elccted, by a majority of about 5,000, over LYMAN, the candidate of the Anti-Masonic partj*. The Clfty party had no candidate in the field. Ten Jackson members tire returned to Congress. By ft comparison of the votes given for members of Congress, it would appear that thMtj is a decu'jd majority in faror of the National Republican cause, although, owing to division in its ranks, the Jackson men succeeded in elcctinc a riinjoritv of their friends. Out of 138,097 votes polled, the Clay candidates received 66,956, and the Jacksonians, 61,41 votes, making a majority in favor of the National Republicans of .V215. In several Districts, the Jacksonians succeeded by small majorities, and in one instance, by but ons-jrotc while, on the contrary, the Clay men had large and dccided majorities.— When the electoral rote is taken, however, their majorities will count up and no doubt need be entertained that Clay and Sergeant will succeed in the State, by ten thousand votes. Lyman, the opposition candidate for Governor, was but little known and was not seriou«ly though! of, as a candidate, two weeks before the election. Wc consider Ohio decidedly certain for Clay .from the indications afforded by recent events.

The Ohio Anti-Masonic Central Committee have withdrawn the electoral ticket pledged to support W*. YViaT for the Presidency. There will be bat ore ticket ran in that State, at the election held to-morrow. The cry will be "Ctejr a*4 JAbcrty" or

Some time since, BLAIB, of the Washington Globe," made a heartless and rude attack on the memory of the deceased patriot, JAMES Mcxnor, by insinuating that that great and good man seerctlt/ connived at General Jackson's attack on the Spanish Post* in Florida, though the then Administration disowned it. Mr. GOUVCHXECU, the son-in-law of Mr. Monroe, comes before the public, in defence of his ficccased relative, and spiritedly declares that the statement of BLAIR is false, in every particular, as he will prove, when the proper time arrives. His last letter to BI.AIR is a fine specimen of withering satire, which, if the Kentucky rcuegade ha? the Jcnet «park of courage, he will surely resent. But the fellow is too degraded, and dors not possess feeling enough, to appreciate its force. It will be lost on the co«nnauion and associate of Amos Kendall. To F. P. BLAIR, Esa. EDITOR OF THE GLOBE.

Sir—Driven as you seem to acknowledge from the defence of an injurious assertion which you have not tjic magnanimity to withdraw, in your paper of the 6th you have commenced an attempt to be personal with niei" How far you may be disposed to«nl vmce in tl»at position, I am unable to predict: hut lest you may he mistaken in the result, I wish you to distinctly understand that I defy your malignity in any shape.

In what has passed, I have experienced one great cause of embarrassment, which, if it lia.snot occurred to yourself, has n,»t been unnoticed by others. The real friends of (.'en. Jackson have long regarded you with suspicion. They are at a loss, to consider you as a moct rash and unprincipled advocate enlisted tor pay, or a base deserter from thf«ir enemies, disguised as a spy in their camp. They learnt at school that aa ungrateful viper oncc stung the bosom which warmed it into life. They draw from it the moral, that the cur who bites one master ought at last to be muzzled when he follows another. •••.'The generous and confiding Actean was destroyed by his own hungry, but most un grateful hounds. Fables are as often facts, as the striking lessons they inculcate come too late. Even Arnold, profiting by thepri vileges which his treason conferred, has been seen to show his face before the British Court. He stood like a blasted monument of perfidy nod shame. It is a fair principle ofjusticc that they who keep a dangerous animal must prescribe limits to his propensities, or be held responsible for the damages which may ensue, if he be permited to trespass on others. If a few individual* even should choose to keep a mischievous donkey in their precincts, to amuse themselves with the sixe of its ears, they wonld have no right to disturb the peace of a neighborhood with his discordant note?, nor permit hirn to mar the beauty of every pleasant scene, by the continual obtrusion of his unsigtly frame.* Comparisons are admitted to be odious: they arc sometimes good illustrations, and signally striking.

A foolish and impetious youth once burnt down a temple to establish a claim to immortality. Infamous as the act may have been, he would bear the test of a comparison in any age with that wretch, who places all his hope to live hereafter, in the successful perpetration of one treason, aided by the strong'suspicion of being deeply engaged in another.

You have succeeded in establishing strong claims to Fame. Your epitaph is written by the present age—it will belong to posterity to find it a place. Its emblem shall be the riven oak upon a blasted heath, distinguished for tiic desolation by which it is surrounded, and conspicuous only for the fact, that by its presumptuous arrogance it- oncc attracted the just indignation of heaven.

Dear Sir: I had the honor of seccirinjc your letter of the 7tb, covering a copy of a joint resolution, passed hy the General Assembly of the State of Indiana, requesting the establishment of one or more Branches of the United State? Bank, in that State and also a memorial, signed by manjt members of the Legislature of that State, recommending Indianapolis, as a properlocation for a Branch. -These documents were yesterday submitted to the Board of Directors, from whom they will not-feil to receive the attention and respectful consideration due to an expression of the wishes of that growing and prosperous commonwealth, as well as the personal character and standing of the gentlemen who have Mgned the memorial. As soon a* the decision of the Board of Directors is made I will have the honor to communicate it to j*ou. Am!, in the meantime, I remain,

We give another letter frofn Mr. Govvcrncur to Mr. Blair, with relation to the foul ch-'irge preferred against Ihe rnrmory of 1 resident Monroe.— There is 'something exceedingly dis gusting in this heartless attack on the •rood name of the deceased patriot.— Wc cannot see any benefit which could have been promised from agitating the question, at the present time but have reasoft to admire the—(we must call it by its right name) impudence of the "official" editor, in trying to cast blame upon Mr. Gouverneur,as though he had originated it. and in nccusing him with deferring his disclosures until after ihe doceose of "^Johnny Rhea,"— though the charge was not made before! But as the affair now stands, it seems that Mr. Rhea did pretend that he had communicated "secret orders" to General Jackson1—thata letter from him to Mr. Monroe was written, as if to maintain such pretension—but that Mr, Monroe had time, before his deeeascf to put the seal of his earnest and just and indignant reprobation upon that pretension.
