the 10th instant we find in the leading edito-I
rial article the following very significant in
timation of the high behest Of the Sdemocr,-
cy" Of Pennsylvania;

Put together the disjoined sylables of the
passages which we have emphasized in the
above extract, and they spell MunLENBERo,
as certainly as BERKs county is the ..most
decidedly democratic portion Of PENNsrL-
vAS'A: II the PREslDENr be at any loss as to
what 1t IS that the 'Democracy' except from
him, we hope some friends OF his will shew
him this paper, in which he will find the true
Reading Of it.
We are not sure that the passage which
We have quoted from the Sentinel would
have SO strongly attracted our attention. if
we had not. only the moment before. read in
the Globe Of yesterday morning a Letter Of
some length from the Hon. HI. A. MULLEN
BERG, Representative in Congress from Penn
sylvania, dated at Harrisburgh. March Z, in
reply to an invitation from his democratic
fellow-citizens" Of that city, inviting him to
"a Public Dinner, ''as one Of the'firm, unflinch-
ing, and unwavering supporters OF the Ad-
ministration Of President Jackson in Con-
gress-and [also] of the true interests of his
native State;" OF which the two following
are the concluding paragraphs:
sour geographical position has justly given u. the ap-
Pellaton OF the key stone State PRODUCTIONS both
mineral and vegetable, intimately connected with
the comfort welfare sister States our canals
8 railroads very arteries through which must
dow the febIood of the domestic
merce of the United States, and hcs
consequently blended with the interest. Of
majority Of the People Of the Union, and entitled
i to the special care Of the General Government"
u .e" ,eme"Ces tna', IN maintaining 'he inter-
ests OF fennsyiva"ia. are maintaining the best
terests Of the American People, Let impress
important truth upon the Re, rcsentatves Congress
Of our sister States and the result fail
for wants and applications the respectful con-
s alteration h~i assure Il who disposed
to disrsgard claims, that cannot be done
$ endsngerng the common good"
Now, we cannot undertake to say that
these passages mean more than they literally
may be taken to import. But, certainly,
taking the Sentinel paragraph. and the two
last sentences of the last extract, together, it
may be surinised that, by ..those who are
disposed to disregard our claims," certain
high parsonage and his advisers in the Cen
eral Government are alluded to. What are
the ''wants' and "applications'' OF the
''democracy' Of Pennsylvania, in the Ian
guage of Mr.. MUHLENBERC, are certainly very
plainly to be learned from the language Of
the S 'ntinel, not 10 speak Of the voice of
common report upon the subject, What is
to be the consequence Of disregarding these
'.claims" of Pennsylvania, is Stated in the
other extract. They cannot be disregarded,
says the letter, ''without endangerlng the
common good,' that is TO say, the good Of
1.-THE party" The PREslDkNr cannot fail to
take this hint. The sending of Mr.. DALLAS
on a distinguished Foreign Mission does not
satisfy the expectations Of Pennsylvania.
Nothing less than a seat in the Cabinet will
answer, and the selection of the person to
fill it is to be made, not by the President,
but for him, by the selfstyled s'democracy''
of the State.
There is one circumstance, in this attempt
to force particular individual into the Pres
ident's Cabinet, which can hardly escape the
attention of the most careless observer, and
that is, the publication of this letter of Mr..
MuHLENBERe in the Globe on the very NOR
nlng Of the arrival here of the Sentinel con-
tanning this broad intimation of the ezpccta-
tions of 1.-THE party" in Pennsylvania. If
this Simultaneous publication be accidental
merely, it is, to say the least oft, a very Gu
rIous coincidence.
This ia lust AZ we exnected TIL. v;c,or~ .l.;,,
the spoil Mr.. Van Buren, in the selection of his
cabinet need not inquire any thing about honesty
and qualifications; but mast appoint such as have
cried loudest in his cause. He his already been
threatened, and brought to terms by Mr Forsyth.
He has not the moral courage to do otherwise-he
must be the tool Of the party or At thu end Of f.
