State Rights no longer known in the Pennsylvania vo
cabulary, and the who would contend that, in the
present tonederacy, the little State OF South Caroua Is
entitled TO much consideration the great State OF N
York, he would be laughed a novice politics. In
fine the doctrines which, in former days distinguished the
Democratic Party from the Federal Party, no longer ex-
list, and, with few exceptions, amalgamaon OF the
two be considered having taken place Tor certain
is, that upon all the Leading which engage
the attention OF the Federal Government, there is not
shdd0tc Of difference beftceen them.
"But, although Pennsylvania has wholly deserted the
principles oil the old Republican Party, majority still ad
here to the title OF Democracy, which merely the
advocacy ofccrain OF these men, General jackson
is especial avorite The devotion him is altogether
PERSONAL without reference 10 his OF policy; and, let
that course be wha, may, he rely with certainty up
ON her vote. With reference however, to the Vce-Pre-
sidency there does exist the devotion Mr. Van
Buren, That gentleman in our humble estimation,
not any event calculate upon her voteat the next cleo
ton. he late proceedings at Harrisburg show, conclu
slvely, that Pennsylvania candidate will be with
General Jackson although there cannot be entertained the
slightest prospect OF his Oh OF Pennsy
we are not able 10 perceive the chance off single vote for
the Pennsy vana candidate The Southern and South
western States which contending for vital constu-
onal principles, cannot support him. Ohio, New Jersey
New York, Maine, and New Hampshire we are assured
will not support him. and the OF Pennsy may
therefore, be considered as thrown away-and, think
pWPosety thrown away. And why? the reader will per-
haps inquire For the very simple object of endeavorng
to defeat election by epeope, and throw the choice
upon the Senate.
"Ths of proceeding will no doubt strike those
who are not acquainted with the politics of Pcnnsy vania

individuals the latter being Pennsylvania and imbued
with all the political principles advocated by what
called the great jackson Party OF Pennsy vana, will be
the successful candidates. and in the of the death of
the President, will bring into power all those principles
This calculation is looked upon certain 1t is argued

place in the Senate before the 18th of March, 1885, will
also oppose his elevation to the Vice Presidency And

from the Legislature of Pennsylvania some resolution
equivalent to instrcting her Senators to rote for

strength OF that gentleman will be reduced in the Senate
and the result will be placed entirely in the hands OF
Messrs. Hayne, Miller, Pondexter and Moore As to the
