I'ltESIDENTIAI, ELECTION, Nor. 0, 1800. TUB OOTOUEIl ELECTIONS. Several stale elections for local officer and Members of Congress will occur next week, Tuesday, nil of which will throw more or less light upon the issue in November) but the chief interest centres in those of the three great middle states l'cnmsylvniiia, Ohio and Indiana. Pennsylvania chooses her governor for n term of three years ) and she has not elected n chief magistrate Presidential jenr since 1818, when Wm. K. Johnston, Whig, was elected oer Shunk by 10,000 majority, thus paving the way for tlic triumph of Zochary Taylor. Indiana elects her governor for lour years, nnd this year she is to choose, besides, n full board of State officers, nnd a legislature upon which is depen dent the election of one United States Senator and, i:t part, that of another. In Ohio three stato officers are to be chosen. The dividing line in l'ensylvimia, between the Hepublicans and their opponents, will bo er) Jearly defined. Col. Curtin, the Repub lican emdidate for governor, will be suppoited enthusiastically by the full strength of his par ty ! and his opponent, Col. Foster, is the can didate of both sections of the democracy, aided by whatever remains of the Hellevcrett party. There is, however, a degice of coldness in this fusion which will detract somen l at from the full vole of the three wings of the coalition j yet their stiength is such as to make the con test close and the lcsult not so certain as we would like to have it. Cm tin's friends, among whom wo may name Gen. Cameron, predict his success by n majority raging from five to twen ty thousand. Candor compels us to state th.it Foster's supporter's are equally certain. Wo believe that Curtin will be elected. If, however, he is defeated the result will not determine the vote of Pennsylvania in November. Then there will be no fusion between the Douglas and llreckinridge wings of the democracy. Kach will have its own electoral ticket) and we shall regard tint stale as good for Lincoln unless Curtin is now defeated by more than twenty-five thousand majoritj a contingency that we do not believe possible. It is not doubted that the Republicans will carry Ohio by n reasonable majority, although less work has been done there than in any of the other central states. For members of Con gress the contest in several of the districts will be clo'e, and there will probably be changes both was. Ohio is sure for Lincoln and Ham lin. Indiana may properly be regarded as doubt ful, so far at least as the State election is con curred. Hendricks, the democratic candidate for governor, is a Douglas man, but be is sup ported by the entile democratic strength of the State. On the other hand a large number of the old Whig statesmen, who voted for Filmore in 1S30, came ou'. eaily in the canvass anil de clared their intention of supporting Lincoln for President, and Henry S. Lane, the Republican candidate, for governor. In no other state lurs there been such a stampede of this class of men into the Republican ranks as in Indiana ; and in no other state have the Republicans made a mure effective and brilliant canvass. We look for the election of Lane. In Xov em ber the chance3 will be gieatly increased in favor of Lincoln. Iliight and other llreckin ridge men have avowed their intention of pic vei ting Douglas from earrjing the state, even if the result of their action should secure the election of Lincoln. This determination, based as it is upon personal animosities deep mid lasting, will not cannot be changed. Indiana may with entire safely, we think, be set down for Lincoln. Very little of iuteicst to Republicans is at tached to the elections next vyeek in some of the Southern States. It is not of the slightest im portance, we conceive, whether Ilrechinridge or Dell comes out ahead. Lincoln is to be elected President, if at all, by the votes of the fiecnien ot the north. Theic is no possibility of his earning u single southern State. On the other hand the strength of llreckinridge and Hell is in the southern states, and Douglas will be on hand for the scattering of both sections. If Pennsylvania and Indiana elect their Republi can candidates for governor ou Tuesday next, the Presidential conlpst is virtually decided in favor of Lincoln and Hamlin. If otherwise the decision is reserved until the 7th of Novem ber. THE ITALIAN DEVOLUTION. Garibaldi has the Kingdom of Naples in his keeping and the Sardinians have entered the Papal territory and defeated the Papal troops under Gen. Lamoricierc, taking nearly 10,000 prisioners. The Pope was preparing to leave Home with his cardinals and seek an asylum in some friendly Catholic country. The eonqiicrer of the Sicilies baa announced his determination to proclaim the unity of Italy from the Klernal City. If the pope leaves he will be followed by the French troops and Austria is looking on silently with no intention of interfering unless her own territories arc menaced. Such, in brief, is the condition of Italy at tho present writing. No friend of freedom and free institutions can fail to rejoice at the downfall and utter ex tinction of the temporal powcr and domination of tho head of the Itomish Church. For cen turies that power has been used for the mainte nance of ignorance, the encouragement of po litical degradation, and the suppression of every generous and noble sentiment. It has been wielded in the most despotic manner nnd with n mailed hand. Not only free speech but free thought even has been suppressed. Children have been torn from their parents, and beyond tho reach of the christian or civilized world have immured forever. Horn in fraud, main tained only by mercencry forces, and existirg in spilo of tho execrations of civilization, it is now about to expire to tho joy of nearly the whole world. Upon one condition only will Rome recover tho abode and tho Vatican tho homo of the pope. Ho must maku a full nnd final surrender of what he is pleased in his modssty to call "St Peter's patrimony," and content himself solely with the cxcrcUei of his spiritual duties at tho first ecclesiastic of the Romish commu nion. The only men who can guarantee bis slay are the very men he is now so vainly op posing! and if he is driven forth by them it will bo a long time before Pius IX, or any of his successors will administer the riles of their communion in the Church of St. Peter. Wc trust the efforts of those noble patriots nnd apostles of Italian liberty who have so long labored and so patiently waited, me about to lcsult in n noble fruition and that Italy, onto I the abode of learning the nits, nnd a superior1 cultivation, is about in emerge from ihedurkness ' nnd degradation which has hung as a pall over her for centuries, mid, disjointed and dissevered ' into many and diverse fragments as she has j been and is, is about to take her place among the nations of the earth, occupy n position in ' accordance with her earlier renown, nnd become ! the abode of n fiec, enlightened and refined. population. It will be tho work of years to accomplish such a result but tho first step in the right direction will have been taken when the pell), tyrunicul rulers who have made Italy n by-word nnd reproach lire driven out nnd nil her people are united under ono liberal govern ment. VERMONT LEGISLATURE. Tho General Assembly of the Statu of Ver mont will meet at Monlpclier on Thursday of next week, October Utb. In nddition to the matters to come before tho legislature, (a list of which wo published n few weeks since,) arc the following: 'J'utvns. Tn annex Goshen Gore in the coun ty of Washington to the town of Plainfield. To annex n part of Peru to Landgrove. Counties. For a tax on llenninglon County. llttilromls. For renewal of charier of Island Pond and St. Johnsbiiry railroad. For a road in Poultney through Fiiirhnven, West Haven and llcnsou to Lake Champlain in Orwell and Shoreham. Hanks. For n new bank ot Irasburg or a re charter of the Hank of Orleans. For u re tharler of the lla"k of Hollows Falls. Ferries. From Windmill Point in Alburgb to Champlain, N. Y., and from Windmill Point to Kelley's Point in Alltuigb. It is desirable that (he Listers of thu several towns should hand their abstracts ol the Grand List to their representatives, whose duty it is to transmit them to the Clerk of the House of Representatives at the commencement of the session. Among other mailers to come before the Legislature is the election of a United States Senator for six yuais fioin tho -itli of Mm ch next, when the term of Senator Coll.uner ex pires. We believe the unanimous voice of the Republican paity of Veiniont is in favor of milking Judge Cnllamer his own successor. Gov Sr.vvAitii at Chicago. The most stu pendous and imposing political demonstration ever known in the West look place at Chicago, ou Tiiesd.iv, at the reception of Gov. Sewaid. The minibus piescnt are variously estimated from 7',0()0 to 100,000. In tbe afternoon Mr. Seward was vseoited by .UK) Lincoln Rangers to the Wigwam, after which he made an elabo rate nnd aigunienlative speech of uu hour and a half Irotn a platform elected in the street. In the evening theic wasa Wide-Awake torchlight procession numbering full 10,000, and accompa nied by fort -three bauds of music. A large number of buildings was illuminated and the enthusiasm was "irrepiessihle." Gov. Seward has met with a reception everywhere at the Wcot uiillicitntly itcmonati alive ami tlutU'ring for any man's ambition. Cimsiitm: C'or.NTV AoitiiTUT n vi. Socii.ty. The nnuual Fair of this society, last week, was a success and the program was carried out in full, except the balloon ascension. Among the premiums on cattle we observe a large number awaided to our friend S. W. Hull'um of Win chester, whose fine herd of Durham slock at tracted much attention. For big cattle we re fer our Cheshire County friends to tbe report of the Wilmington Fair. The following gentlemen were elected officers for tbe year ensuing: Nelson Converse of Mailboro, Piesidents Jona K, Smith, Dublin, S. W. Ilull'uin, Win Chester, Charles F.

Veumoxt HiMiimi-Ai, SociKrv. We a'c desired to announce to our readers that the next annual meeting of the Vermont Historical Society for the choice of officers and for the transaction of other business will be hohlen at the Historical Room in the Stato House, Mont pelier, on Tuesday, October Kith, 16G0, at 1! o'clock, P. M. Several pipers of interest will be read before tho Society and the meeting will probably be largely attended. OuiX.ox. From tbe tenor of tho advices by the Pony F.xprcss, published in another column, it appears that the nnti-Lme elements in the Legislature have so far fused ns to effect an or ganization. The constitution of Oregon re quires two-third for a quorum, and so six of the constitution-loving Lane democrats left for parts unknown, thus destroying that quorum, for the avowed purpose of preventing the elec tion of Col. Ii. 1). linker, Republican, and S. W. Nesmith, anti-Lane democrat, United States Senators. Tho conduct of these six run- aways is in strict harmony with the principles of their party. Am. Right. Two or three weeks since we took occasion to criticise an opinion expressed by the Free l'ress ns to tho merits of the trot ting of "Abe Lincoln" nt tho late State Fair. The Free J'ress "acknowledges tho corn" so freely and withal in such modest terms that we begin to entertain some doubts of tho correct ness of our original position. Had wo staked our "experienced nnd valuable opinion"' on any thing mortal but "Abe Lincoln" wc should feel bound to "move to reconsider." Nkvv Hami'suikf.. The Republican ticket for presidential electors has been completed, is ns follows : John Sullivan of Hxeter, libcn ezcr Stevens of Meredith, David Gillis of Mil ford, Nathaniel Tollcs of Claremont, and Dan iel Hlaisdell of Hanover. The Free Press "understands that Mr. Geo. A. Merrill of St. Johtisbury, will receive tlio ap pointment of Secretary of Civil and Military Affairs, from Gov. Fairbanks." Tho accep tance of such an appointment by Mr. Merrill somewhat surprises us, jet we feel assuied that the oflico cannot be filled by n moio capable and acceptable officer.

One of the '.ccl,il oovi !

The mail t artier inquired of tne Ibi Mr Lincoln, nt the same time showing inetliedraltoii him for near y'HW. 1 felt that this would be u largo turn for u poor man like Mr Lincoln to raise on demand, nnd on meeting him nfli rcd lo nid liim if necessary, lie tlijnked me uud snitl he did not need assistance t went to his rooni, and udinned In n few minutes with a package ill hi baud containing mono), and on counting it out, it was fottntl to be the exact amount called for hy tho draft, ami the riry money leiciral In himj'utir nmt Jive icitrs pre tiniln. I claim that in' this couipariitivily little incident wo have practical illustration of thu benutiful workings of the sub-treasury system, when tviri ii'ct out ns intended bv its author, Mr Vim lluren, und o beautifully iilustinted by Mr Lincoln, long bcfoiu its adoption. Dining nil this pciiod, money was being loaned for tbrcit and live per cent 'per month, and Mr Lincoln was often, fiom inability tn colled what wns due him, sorely pitssed for five dollars lo pay n hoard bill, li'csiilc, it was then thu policy of thu government to ullovv thu banks to use'tho people's money for speculative put poses, nud it was not thought wiong or disieputuble for n government ollicer to use the niotiev iu his pos session, prov ided he had u reasonable prospect for raising it when it was wanted for disburse ment. Hut Mr Lincoln believed it was wrong to uscvtli.it did not belong to him, and his stem, unbending intcgtily enabled him to resist, not only thu temptation of "pinching povertv," but the nil powerful inlluence of public sentiment. The Urtijitiiittn, lo be nominated self-made men in after tears. Thousands of our little obscure bovs, i'n the school-room, Ihc street and the domestic ciicle, are storing away u great variety of facts and events of vast importance, which will aid ihcm iu reaching an eminence of distinction when ibey shall launch upon thu stage of public life.
