The strife waXes warmer and warmer in the States as the day ot trial approaches._ Pennsylvania and Maryland are boih agita j on the subject of a Convention and a reform of the State Constitution. The difference be j^ea ttie agitators in these States seems to be, '.at in Maryland they wan! Revolution first and Reform afterwards—and in Pennsylvania !hPV seont to strive after Reform fiist, and then threaten Revolution, or, at least, a subversion of m Mr. F.

We bare at length full returns of the recent election in Pennsylvania for members of Con gress and of the State Legislature. The aggre gate vote of the State at the general election on I the 11th instant, was as follows: For Congress, : Whig, 79,628; Van Buren, 91,236; whole num • her of votes, 170,864; majority in favor of Van i Buien ticket for Congress, 11,608. i At the election in 1S35 the aggregate vote of Pennsylvania was 200,413. Falling of!, this I year, compared with last, 29,549. OHIO ELECTION. | Columbs, October 22.—The recent election in ! this Stale has resulted in the choice of eleven ! Whig, and eight Van Buren members of Con gress; nine Wnig, and nine Van Buren Sena tors; thirty-five Whig, and thirty-seven Van ; Buren members of the House of Representatives. : As the dominant party succeeded last year in j electing eleven out of eighteen Senators, they i will have the ascendency in both branches of | the General Assembly, and a majority of six [ on joint ballot. This result would have been [ avoided, in spite of the Apportionment bill, had not a portion of our political friends, in two or t three counties, where there is an unquestioned j Whig majority, supported the Van Buren can | didates from local considerations. We have ; however, succeeded far better than could have | been reasonably expected under the circum stances; and that we can, and w ill carry our Electoral Ticket in November, bv an increas ed majority, ue do not doubt. Gen Vance’s I majority is still somewhat uncertain; but we be ! lieve it will not vary much from 7,000. 23 coun ties, with a population of only 109.077 tree i white male citizens over the age ot twenty-one | years, have elected thirty seven Van Buren ; Representatives, and thereby secured a tnajori j ty in the House friendly to the pretensions of | that gentleman: while 47 counties, whose free w bite male population amounts to 127,116, have returned only thirty-five Whigs—in other words , that the latter, which nu nber 13.039 voters more j j than the former, will have two members less in the Assembly. Had the representation been apportioned equally, among the diffeient coun ties, those which have chosen Van Buren men would have been entitled to about thirty-three; wbile those which have elected Whigs would have returned thirty nine. GEORGIA ELECTION. Augusta. Oct 20 — Our table contains the full returns of the ninety counties of the State. The Union ticket is elected with the exception ol General Coffee. Col. Dawson being the highest on the Stale Rights ticket, is consequently elect ed. We have changed the order of.our recapi tulation; we now give ir according to the mini ber ol votes each candidate has received. We are aware that there may be some variation in j the returns published by us. w ith those publi>hed | by other papers; but we believe not much dif- i ! Terence exis's.

We have no room for but two of the resolutions and one or two toasts. Resolved, That we solemnly pledge ourselves to the friends of order and law throughout the State, and with equal solemnity warn those w ho have defied and are yet seeking to subvert both, that w e deem if our first duty under hoa ren to defend the institutions bequeathed to us bv our wise and gallant sires; that we acknow ledge the authority of the Constitution and Laws and will uphold them as they now stand until peaceably ami constitutionally changed; and that we disclaim and utterly renounce the illegal Convention piopo^ed by the faithless Electors, and deny that it can have any power, but fur ther to disturb the peace. Resolved, That we will support our institu tions. and resist limit* lawless assailants by aul the means in our power; and, as our forefathers did, so do we now. in the sight of Heaven, so lemnly pledge our lives, our fortunes, and our honor.
