The following is from the Richmond Enquirst,
and when we say that, and read the paragraph,
we raise our hands in astnnishment.-
PENNSYLVANIA Is determined then, it seems, to
defeat an eie"fion by the people, and to throw it
uDon the Senate! She is determined to throw
it upon BODY, who will clearly prefer Mr..
Sergeant to Mr.. Van Buren,. She is deter.
mined to elect Pennsylvan'an-a friend Of the
Tariff-a friend of the laditudinarian principles
of the State. "Are you there, old True Penny:"
Is the great State Of Pennsylvania really deter
mined upon this course Of policys Then, We
say this-that we deeply regret that the "key.
stone of the American Arch'' should be devoted
to such princpes-aLd that Pennsylvania, with
all her Democracy, should be hostile to the cause
of State Rights, without due respect to which
this Union cannot cling together. We deeply
regret that Penns, vania should seek to granv
her own personal wishes, 50 earnestly to cOnsGt
her erroneous principles, as to "P"rposety thrc"
away her vote" We say, also, that Virginia,
the South, the South West, and those State, who
have other views and other doctrines, must keep
their strength together--must NOT hrow army
ther uotes-but must unite and snatch the con-
test from the hands of the senate of the L. S.,
where the jury Is already packed, and where in.
trigue and management must be the order OF the
day. Let US mark and mediate these things
well. Let US act accordingI the Re-
publican phalanx unbr"ken--and leave 1t to The
people themselves to make their oWn Election.
