The Columbia Democrat. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1837-1850, 1839-05-04
From The Pittsburg Manufacturer.

1t IS amusing 10 observe with what ear
nestness the federal party is laboring TO pro-
duce union and harmony in its heterogen-
eous parts. One would suppose from
perusal of their leading papers, that they
really believed in the possibility of defeat
ing the people in the next Presidential con-
test. They seem TO think that the only diff
fculty they have to overcome is to settle
the question as to who is the available
Clay or Harrison. This question however,
appears to be q mountain in the way of
better organization of the whig party
The Pennsylvania Antimasons, Aboli-
tonists, and Amalgamationists, have stole a
march on the wings, and already have their
man (Harrison) in the field They will
shortly hold state convention for the pur-
pose of nominating Harrison and Webster
electoral ticket, to the support of which
they are determined TO force the Clay men.
This arrangement by no means pleases the
other portion of the party. Already the
Clay %AGGs segln TO mpgmpr at the cavalier
manner in wind their fayorite has been
thrust aside, to make room for the valiant
hero of the red flannel petticoat.

peace 10 their ranks, and show them the fol-
ly of dispuling about an available. We
will put down few of the states in which
there is not the slightest doubt of success Of
the democratic candidates for president and
vice president, and then ask the opposition
why they teaze and fret themselves for a
candidate, when nothing but disgracelul de-
feat awaits him, whoever he may be.
We will begin with the good old Key
stone; Pennsylvania may be relied on for
$4,000 majority for the democratic ticket.
New York is regenerated-" the sober
second thought of her citizens is always
right"
Ohio, Illinois, Missouri, Mississippi,
Maryland Michigan, Virginia, South Caro-
lima, North Carolina, Alabama, Arkansas,
| Georgia, New Hampshire, New Jersey and
! Maine, are all safe, and will most certainly
give maiorties for the democratic candi.
dates. No stratagem or arrangement can
deprive Martin Van Buren, of the electoral
votes Of the states here set down.
It's impossible that the opponents of Mr.
Van Buren can ever unite on any one per
son for president. The Southern whig;
declare that either the president or vice pres
ident must come from a Southern state
while the AbOitionists of the New England
and middle states will support no man whC
is suspected Of upholding and counlenanc
ing slavery. Whey, then, do the opposi
ton fret themselves about a candidate, wh'
viii be rendered conspicuous only by tn,
defeat that will overwhelm rhim. They
would act wiser part TO follow the advc
of the Wheeling times, and permit the elec
to pass without offering any opposition.
