Too QuicE-by HAIR


Some OF the members Of the Legislature Of Penn.
sylvnnia have assembled, and nominated Colonel
Richard NJ Johnson rs their candidate for the next
Presidency. Whcrcupon, the Harrisburg Gazette
Of the 9Th, mounts its Flag, "For President JAIME
Buchanan (suhect TO the decision of National
ConventIon.) In support Of this nomination, the
Gazette presents strong article IN favor Of the
claims Of CHE Keystone Commonwealth" to give
the next President, and in favor Of Mr. James Blu
channn icing tho man.
For one, wo say at once, and with oil duo respect
TO oil the claims Of oil the candidates, that will
not 10 dragged into this discussion nj tho present
time. IL is altogether premature. OK Is prcma-
turo in cry sense Of the term. We care not who
s the nominee, Il IS premature. We have a great
respect and the kindcst feeling for Mr. Buchanan
but we care not. His nomination or Of any other
man is premature The Harrisburg Gazette ~ right
in It's general position. Any nomination is prcna-
turc) The uniform sentiment Of the Democracy Of
Virginia runs against any such movement En-
qidrcr.
Yes-it is certainly premature. Bot this depends
upon the person who INSERTS the proposition. The
friends Of Col. johnson or Mr. Buchanan may not
and do not consider it premature, and they may
rotori that those who except to their conduct, arc
false friends and secret foes II the Enquirer's IA
vourite were running ohend and receiving nomiua-
tons, Il would be oil "glorIous"-"fro oil
the anr'-"lhs true Democracy rousing," &c. &c
But circumstances alter cases.

The report in relation TO a re-apportionment Of
representation, was further considered.
MIR Brown Of +. continued his speech commenc-
ed on Tuesday. When he had concluded,
Mr. Keen made few remarks against the re-.
npportionmen,, and was succeeded by MIR Morgan,
on the other side.
MIR Jackson then spoke some two hours in
favour Of the re-apportonmen, lie made very
able speech, which extorted euogium from friend
and foe. lie dwelt upon the nbsurdy Of the pre-
sent basis Of representation, and the gross injustice
Of its operation upon the West. In the course of
his remarks, however, he permitted his feelings to
gain the mastery over his judgment, when he said,
alludng to the Aboiionisis Of Ohio, that if the
rights Of the West were now refused, the border
counties would no longer stand up, ns they have
hitherto DONE rs barriers to the waves ofAbolition
that roll and beat against them; hut that they
would give way (boing no longer strengthened by
love and friendship for the East) and let the angry
food roll down from the mountain top and sweep
us to destruction.
Mr. Scott replied 10 Mr. jackson in his ablest and
happiost manner One passage wo give--it was
in answer 10 Mr. J.'sremnrk about Abolition. Mr.
Scott said he did not believe the feeling peryndinr
the West had been truly depicted. lilo believed
the men Of the Yves, we're true Virginians; and If
they were, he know they would bare their breasts
10 shield our wives and children, as readily when
we have refused their demand as Il we had granted
all they sought. And here Mr. $. said he would
read a lnconic note, handel him by the member
from Konawhn while Mr. Jackson was speaking
"If the Abolitionis,s come to Kanawba, we'll give
them hell" There spoke, said Mr. g., a noble,
| ruo tfhr hrnr L..
common interest Of tho Siate-and such lie bolioy-
ed were tho men Of the West generally, in spite Of
what their representatives. here might say to the
| contrary.
Mr. Jackson spoke again, when MIR Scott had
concluded, and was cut short by the arrival Of the
| hour Tor recess.
