The result of the State elections in-Pennsyiva nia. Ohid and Indiana,, on the 13th. of October, it is - conceded by both parties, will afford an accu? rate indicat ion'of the result in November, and con? sequently tho political interest and'anxiety of the entire country is now centered upon the campaign progressing in those States. The news which' has reached ua 'during the past week is:of>- tho most cheering character, and strongly indicates the suc? cess-, of jha-Democratic party. In our humble judgment, from the best lights before us at this .time, lhe.DemocraCj|y; will carry Pennsylvania and Indiana by handsome majorities, and. Ohio.willibe closely contested. In order to approximate any? thing like-a .correct estimate of tho probable re? sult of Hieao.-etections, we must bear in mind the relative strength.of the parties for tho past few years. The- Louisville Courier pubb'shos the fol? lowing statement of the vote in these three Statea, with appropriuto comments and explanations, and we could not afford our reader* with a more oon densed view of the situation than- La con tain el La the-annexed paragraphs: v. PIMNLYIVANIA. ' The vote of Pennsylvania in- the- last three elec? tions was as follows i Kep; Dem. Hep. ' Dem. maj. maj. 186-f ? 296,391 276,316 20.075 _ 1865 '307,274 ' 290,098. 17,178 _ ;1SR7 266,821 -267,751 -. 927 It will be seen from the above that though th's vote of18G5 was 24,663 votes larger than in 1864, the Repulican majority was decreased 2,897, while the vote of 1867 gives a Democratic majority of 927,.making an-actual Democratic jain, as com pared with the result of 1865, of_18,105t But the total vote in. 1867 was 62,695 votes smaller than' that cast, in 18651 The decision of the queation this fall hinges' thereforc upon-the' point, which :party will this year be able to- control the 62,000 yoies"not.polled last year ? The Democracy claim thatjhe ,bulk of the reserve vote will be cast for Seymour and Blair,v.basing their claim, upon the following grounds: The election of 1867 was for -justice of the Supreme Court, a purely judicial election;-riot r. political one. The absorbing ques? tion at issue in. the present contest?the finances, reconstruction, and aegro suffrage?were not; and could not' have been, presented to the people for their decision, andrin consequence many voters who were then either indifferent or acted with the Republican party will now unite with the party whioh'promises to administer tha affaire of the Government with economy and prudence, and to restore harmony and prosperity to the whole coun? try. OHIO. The vote m Ohio at the three elections which have occurred since tho last Presidential year, is as follows: Rap. Dem. . Rep. maj. 1865 - 223,633 193,697 29.546 1806 ? 256,203 .211,606 42,696 1867 243,605 210,622 2,983 The large Republican majority in 1866 resulted from the bitter warfare then being waged between Congress and the Executive, and is to be mainly attributed tb the .unfortunate "Swinging 'round ?the circle." Last year, however, upon the plain questions of reconstruction and negro suffrage, with' an increase ini the total vote of 16,418, the Republican majority of 18(36 was cut down from 42,690 to 2,983." The feeling against negro, suf? frage and Radical reconstruction has lost none of I iis intensity among the voters of Otiio, wliile we i havo this year the additional great and popular issue of "one currency fornlt," and we confidently belicve.the opinions of the great majority of the citizens of Ohio to be in thorough accord with the principles embodied in the platform adopted in .New- York in July .last. For these reasons we -count on the 21 electoral votes of this State being oast lor Seymour and Blair. INDIANA. The vote of Indiana in tho last two- general eloc tionswas: Rep. -Dem. Rep. maj. 1864 150.422 130,223 20,189 1806 169,61.8 155,102. 14,516 There was no general election in 1857, but the vote for county officers showed Democratic gains; i The same causes which operated so favorably for the Radicals in Ohio in 1866, produced, to a great extent, similar results in Indiana, and still the De? mocracy gained largely over their vote of 1864. , The'reasons which induce us to look to- Ohio so Confidently this year, operate with, equal power.in Indiana, added to which we have the additional strength anatug.fromthe personal popularity and great .abilities of Mr. Hendricks as our Guberna? torial candidate. With all these advantages in our favor, we cannot regard the result in the "Hoosier" State as involved in the slightest doubt. ? ' The above statement is satisfactory enough, and emimates from a source justly entitled to credit, not only because of its proximity to the great States alluded to. and consequent intercommunication with the people of those States, but from the char? acter and reputation always sustained by that journal for truth and honesty. - But we are dis? posed to go further, and make some extracts from 'newspapers in different sections, for the enlighten? ment and. encouragement of our readers, and es? pecially for the benefit of those timid ones-whose counsel is ever derived from their greatest fears. i The first extract presented is strong evidence that the Radicals of New England are determined to employ every means to subsidize the country to their own selfish ends, and is copied from the National Intelligenter : We learn reliably that Alexander McCluro, of Pennsylvania, is in the receipt from New England of 5115,000 to capture Pennsylvania at the Octo? ber election. Another installment is promised. The figures look small for the purchase of so great a commonwealth; about $500,000 was expended at. .home in Maine. Besides a heavy sum must be kept in hand for New Hampshire, where the fraud-; uLeut Jacobin majority was but between one or two thousand last spring. The-loading Radical trick? sters give up Connecticut, as we understand. Of i.course there is continued Radical clamor from Wostera- States upon New England., Having voted untold gold to the manufactories of the East, to the very crushing out of its own purely agricul? tural population, they cry out, under preaure from the Democratic hosts, "Help, or we sink." Vast as are the monetary resources of New England, whole seas of people like those of the great States?and particularly the mighty W-est?cannot bo swerved by temporary largesses from that allegiance to -truth, right, and duty, tho triumph of which will forever break the chains of a most grinding bond? age. The next extract is-frony the Indianapolis Sen? tinel, und brings positive assurance that Indiana will swell the tide of victory for the Democratic candidates. In commenting upon a recent demon? stration in that city, where thousands were present ?and the greatest enthusiasm prevailod, that jour? nal says: If there ever had been any doubt a? to the vote of the Stato of Indiana, last Wednesday has effec? tually dispelled iL Indiana is sure for the Democ? racy in October and November next by rousing majorities! There is not only no doubt of the fact, but. there isn't even a shadow to hang a doubt upon! Tho demonstration last Wednesday hasj st!uck terror into the hearts of the Rails; They s- e the handwriting upon the wall, and their knees, Belshnzzer-like, smite each other as they read their doom. The Journal of this city, while stmngly laboring to produce tho impression that our mcelirg. was a failure, could not fail, iiorertlio less to show i'.s trepidation and dismay, and culls loudly upon 'indolent Republicans' to go to work and try to save the Stato to Radicalism. Vain effort!. Let our friend* abroad fully understand that Indi? ana is inflexibly, unalterably, and largely Demo? cratic, and will give such a sweeping majority for the Democratic ticket, next Ootober as will put I eyond ail further doubt tho result of tho Presiden? tial contest.. Roferring to the above paragraph,, wo quote again from the National Intelligencer: Wo have private information from high sources in Radicalism their high priests give up the State. Henceforth their effort* ore te be bent mainly in ""saving Ohio," tbeait?ation of which, to them, is anything hut. flattering. A.-month ago the'Radi? cal canvass, as we bappenlo know, showed but tho small edge:of' a majority in Indiana of 6,000. Even a less figure wns claimed by Mr, Colfax when here. We-are satisfied that" Jacobinism has gone up in the- central State of tho Northwest. Right in the heart of that great power in politics?the Northwest?the Radical column gives way, menac? ing, of course, the worst form of disaster to the wlnga?Ohio on the right, and Illinois upon the left. It is a great thing in military strategy or tactics to pierce the centre; as did: Bonaparte'tho allied -Austrians and-Russians at Austerlitz. As an appropriate appendage to the above, we make an extract from the letter of Gen John A. McCi.erxa.sd-, a distinguished officer of the Union army, addressed to the meeting in- Indianapolis : Indiana holds the pivot of the Democratic line: Our ears are open to catch the first echoes of the shouts of her anticipated Democratic victory. The triumph ef her irresistible Democracy will docide our triumph in Illinois. The people are rising on all sides. Their indignation at falso and faithless rulers flashes and thunders all around. The masses are sure and the prairies ablaze. The step of the Democracy is to the music of (be Constitution and the Union. Their flag is the old flag, advanced aloft, and flashing with a sparkling star, as of yore for every Stnte?not one the less. This is their sign, and in it they will conquer. The Augusta (Geo.) Chronicle and Sentinel, ono of the best informed and ablest political journals in the South, has gratifying: news from Ohio;.as contained in the following paragraph : "Our news from Ohio is of the most cheering charaoter. The Democracy expect to carry six? teen out of the nineteen Congressional Districts. In the Third, Vallandingham is certain to defoat the braggart hero of Vienna, Gen. Bob Schenck ; in (he Tenth, Judge Hoag is making a gallant can vast against, the notorious Ashley, and will be sure to beat him; while in the Sixteenth, woman-mur? derer Bingham will be elected to stay at homo by a handsome majority. The Democracy of the Buckeye Stato are thoroughly aroused. Such en? thusiasm and vigor was never known in the can? vass there before. A few days since, at. a meeting in that State, Senator Doolittle spoke for two hours to a vast throng, who stood during the whole time in a drenching rain, and even then closed his ad? dress amidst repeated cries to 'go on.*" We have already slated that Ohio would be close | ly contested, in our opinion. . This belief rests mainly upon the fact that greater efforts are being made by tho Radicals of that State than elsewhere to carry the October election. They know and fully appreciate the disaster to their party every? where unless they succeed next week, and hence nothing is left untried to bring about success. Be? sides, the leaders of the Radical party in Ohio have held greater prominence in the reconstruction policy of Congress than those of any other State, taking them altogether, and a defeat of that party now virtually sets the seal of condemnation upon the odious'measure of tyranny and oppression in? augurated by them. Such men as Sherman, Wade, Scuenck, Ashley and Li.nguam are too intimately connected with the infamous legislation of the past eighteen months to allow their own defeat at this time, without making the mest strenuous efforts to sustain - their party. But the Democracy aroat work nobly, and under such leaders as Pkxdleton, Tudbma* and Vaslamdinqiiam, greatly deserve success, and we shall rejoice at their victory as the host deserved and noblest won of all the triumphs of the Democratic party. -^-:-? - THE PRESIDENTIAL VOTE. As a matter of interest to our readers, we ap? pend the popular and electoral votes for President in 18U0 and 1864, and also the electoral vote to which each State is entitled, in the coming elec? tion : In I860, Lincoln (Republican) received 1,857, 610 votes, Docui.as, (Dem) 1,305,970 ; Breck kxiudgb, (Dem.) 817,953, and Bell, (Union) 690,631, making a -majority of 946,950 .votes against Lincoln in the entire goprular vote. And yet Mr. Lincoln received 180 electoral votes, against 12 for Douglas, 72 for BarcilE.NUiuc-k, and 39 for Sect. In 1861, Lincoln was re-elected by a vote of 2,213,035, against 1,811,754 for McClei.lan, the j Democratic candidate, or a majority of-411,281. Of the electoral vote, however, Mr. Lincoln re ! ceived 216 against only 21 for General McClkl LAN, showing conclusive]j that the majorities with I which the Republicans carried the States voting for Lincoln were exceedingly small.. Prom these facts and figures, it may reasonably be deducted that the Radical party has never been sustained by an overwhelming majority of the Northern people, and that the reaction of thepast two years is sufficient to hurl that party from powr er, without the aid of a single Southern State. Let us take courage- then, and- hopefully press forward to victory, peace and prosperily. The olectoral vote to which each State is enti? tled is as follows: Alabama, 8; Arkansas, 5; California; 6; Con? necticut, 6 ; Delaware, 3 ; Florida, 3; Georgia, 9; Illinois, 16; Indiana, 13 ; Iowa, 8 ; Kansas, 3 ; Kentucky, 11 ; Louisiana, 7 ; Maine, 7 ; Mary? land, 7 ; Massachusetts, 12; Michigan, 8; Min. neiota, 4; Mississippi, 7 ; Missouri, 11; Nebras? ka, 3; Jforadat 8; New Hampshire, 5; New Jer? sey, 7; New York, 33 ; North Carolina, 9; Ohio, 21; Oregon, 3 ; Pennsylvania, 26 ; Rhode Island, 4; South Carolina, 6 ; Tennessee, 10; Twcas, 6 ; Vermont, 6; Virginia, 10; West Virginia, 5 ; Wisconsin, 8. Total, 317?majority, 159. -? HORRIBLE' H.URDER. Information was received here last week of an atrocious murder committed near Lowndcsville, in Abbeville District, on Monday night, 28th ult. The victims were a white man named Cornel and a negro whose name we have not been able to ob? tain. They were travelling through the country with a two-horse wagon, drawn by mules, and had been in this town-a few days previous to their mur? der, selling tobacco and wool hats. The Abbeville Preis says that a ehort time before tho murder, a party of mounted men, apparently black and white, were seen to go in the direction where the men were encamped, and a number of shots was afterwards heard. When found. Hie bodies of the white man and' negro were tied to a couple of trees, at some distance from oach other, and were perforated with many balls. The mules were missing, but the wagon and contents were un? touched. An inquest was held over the bodies, but as yet no clue has been obtainod which could lead to the discovery of the murderers. Tho mo? tive for the murder is supposod- to have been plunder, as it was thought the while man had a considerably sum of money. He hailed from, the neighborhood of Athens, Geo. -?--* WHAT GREELY THINKS.

The dclegntos from the Anderson Democratic Club presented an elaborate report on the political relations of the white and colored races, embody? ing many valuable suggestions to the Democratic party, which report was accompanied by an "Ad? dress to the Colored People of Anderson District." After a lengthy and interesting discussion, the re? port was received ns information1, and the Address wa9 ordered to be published in the Anderson In? telligencer, with the request that every employer in the District should rend the Address to his colored employees at least once before the election. On motion, the following gentlemen were added to the list of canvassers already appointed, namely : J. W. Norris, jr., 13. F. Whitner, John B. Moore, R. W. Simpson, W. J. Milford and James A. Hoyt. In accordance with the suggestion of the State Central Club, an extra meeting of the District Central Club"was ordered to be held on Saturday, Oct. 17th, at 11 o'clock a. m. The local clubs are also requested lo meet on the following Tuesday, October 20th, for tho purposo of receiving a report from their delegates: Some important plans were submitted to the Central Club, and elicited considerable discussion before adoption. Every club will be furnished with the plans agreed upon in detail, and the offi? cers and members are urged to work earnestly and constantly for their success. JAMES A. HOYT, President. E. P. Earli, Secretary ADDRESS To the Colored People of Anderson District. We, tho White People of Anderson District, who own the Land upon which you labor, and who fur? nish the Money by which you oro -paid for your labor, desire to wfiirgss you a few words, and wo 'lo so in the kindest spirit, aud with-the'hopc that good may result, both for you and ourselves. Come, then, and let us reason together. Tho white men of tha South did not make you slaves. You were slaves when they wore born. Their uncestors did not make you ulaves, butyour oitm, and the ancestors of the present race of "New England," nnd "Old England." South Car? olina, when she belonged to "Old England," pro? tested against the introduction of slaves into the Colony. But "Old England" wanted a market ! "New England" wanted a market! and slaves were forced into this country. Your ancestors in Afri? ca were willing then, as their descendants arc will? ing now, to sell even thpir own flesh and blood, and the grandfathers and grandmothers of mnny of you now living here, were bought by the "Yan? kee" and the "Englishman" for a few glass heads, a few loads of gunpowder, a few bottles of rum, or old muskets. They were afterwards brought, to this country, or carried to Cuba, St. Domingo and Brazil, and sold at tremeudous profit. Think of this fact! whenever you remember that you have been slaves. The "Yankee" soon found out that slavery in a Northern climate did not pay. Iu cold, rocky "New England" slaves were for six months of the year an expense. They could not work, they did not. breed, but frozen and half starved, they pined and perished. Did the pious "New Englander" take them to their affections then, and clothe ! warm! and comfort them ? No! no! with a heart as cold as his climate, he sold for good, hard gold, your ancestors to the Southern Slates, Cuba and other countries. Tho father of many a "New Englander," who now wallows in wealth, made his first start in life with money got by the sale of your race. So, the black man camo South, and as time passed on, the Yankee found that the idle worth? less slaves of the North, as soon as they touched our warm Southern-soil and fell into tlio hands of kind Southern master*, became different beings'. They married and bore children in plenty; the poor, half-starved Northern blacks became fat and joyous, strong and activo laborers. The South grew strong and powerful, and the Southern white man, by his character and intelligence, ruled the Union. The Yankee then became jealous, and de? termined to break down the South, and for fifty years kept up the strife. The South at last wns compelled to say, We can't live with you in peace, so we wan't live with you any longer," and the South seceded! President Lincoln then said to tho South, "Come back! You shall not leave the Union ! Wc donrt mean lo interfere with your slaves! But wo don't want you to leave the Union!" The South insisted, and the war came on. After three years of desperate fighting, President Lincoln found that ho could not conquer the South unlcsshc enlist? ed the black man in his armies. He then declared slaves free, and wherever he could get at them, he put them into his armies, and this put many an one into a bloody grave, and caused the death of many thousands by disease. Well, the North at last conquered, and the South gave up secession ami slavery, and went to- work to repair her fortunes. Very soon, had the South been let alone, the Southern white man and the Southern black man, working happily and side by side, would have made this country ogain rioh and powerful. Tho Republican party saw this, and determined to prevent it. They began to sow hatred and dis? trust between the two races. They told you that we intended to make you slaves again, and they told us that they would make the South a desert rather than let her regain her power in tho Union. They have already nearly succeeded in ruining this State. The white man ia poorer?the black man is suffering ! Lands arc lying idle, money is scarce, and there is no confidence in anything. So must it be as long as you obey your present mas ters? the Radical party. You-will-not believo us who ought to be and arc your best friends. Now, listen to our advice, and heed our warn? ing! Think seriously, each man for himself, over these mnlters! Remember, that we arc possessors of the property and intelligence of this country ; remember, that God has ordained that property and intelligence shall rule, and that they will rule this country. We tell you now, as wc have told you before, that we will give you the full and equal protection of the laws for your lives, your freedom and your property. We will aid you to educate yourselves and your children ; you shall have every chance to live and grow rich ; and we will, if you prove true to us and show that you are our friends, give you the right to vote, qualified by property and educatien. The bad men, who deceive you with lying prom? ises of land and mules when rliey have neither, who trick you to get money and office for them? selves, they tell you to vote for Grant and Colfax. We, who make you no promise which we do not keep, own the lands on which you live and1 the mules to work it, wc tell you. that if you wilt ex? ercise the power which has been illegally given you, you should vote, not for Grant and Colfax, but for those who will bring peace and plenty, money and happiness to this country?Seymour and Blair. We white men intend to do- so. Wb <r. will you trust? We cannot tell, but we Hnmbly pray God to guide and instruct you for your own good. But, colored friends, if after all, you determine to make us your enemies; if you harden your hearts and stiffen your necks, and are fatally bent on your own ruin ;? on our part, We arc fully pre? pared to meet you. If you will vote with the Radicals, you must go to the Radicals', for you have declared yourselves our enemies and we will treat you as such. If you-resort to force, and use arms unlawfully, or try the torch as some rascals and cowards threat? en, wo will drive you like the Indian from the face of the earth. If you bring on a war of races, yours will be the crime, and you must take the consequences. Wcdo not hate and do not. fear you! We would be your friends and have you ours, so that both may prosper. Wo advise yo?, therefore, to drive from your midst the lying scoundrels, white and black, who are urging you to ruin for their own selfish ends. Stick to your employers! Bo as they direct, and you may be sure that (no matter who is elected) the colored man who can show that he voted for Seymour and Blair, or stayed at home and did not vote at all, will never want work-or a living. Come out boldly;, now! Don't be afraid of the Leagues; they can only harm you as long as you are in them Keep away from the polls! Join with us, nnd when God gives us the victory, and Seymour nnd Blair arc elected, as they will be, yon shall share our joy and divide our prosperity. -?

And further in? structed- to urge upon the District Central CTubs the great importance of having a full attcadance of delegates at the extra meeting, as business of great importance will be brought before the State Central Club at that time. In those Districts where there are no District Central Clubs organ? ized, (if there be any Districts without such.) we respectfully and earnestly urge upon the Demo? cratic party the necessity of at once organizing such clubs, and sending delegates on the day al? ready indicated; and 3hould the time be too limi? ted to effect this, then that at least a delegation from the Democratic party of such Districts be sent up to the extra meeting of the State Central Club, on the 15th instant. On behalf of tho Slate Central Club, we would repeat our earnest solici fation to the members of the Democratic party, to net in the premises promptly, zealously and in a spirit of harmony, for the good of tho common cause and the great interest of the Suite.
