late compact party of our opponents are deter

Buren, for the Presidency. James Buchanan is
their first CHOICE Richard NJ Johnson or Lewis
Casy might get the vote of the State but not
Van Buren, or Calhoun. We repeat IN this the
assurances not merely Of our Wing friends, but OF
prominent Loco. Focos, who say that, apart from
the personal dislike with which the State has
ALWAYS regarded Mr. Van Buren,, his anti Ma
tonal position on the Tariff and almost every
great question forbds the thought of his support
in Pennsylvania. That State has robbed herself
of great advantages in surrcnderng her own
judgement to the dictates Of party IN the matter
of the Bank she is deeply in debt and needs
the Land Distribution; she is magazine OF
Iron and Coal, and caGnot prosper without a
Protective Tariff. The maintenance of the Pro-
tective policy is vital question with her, and
she cannot shuttle it aside. The coming Session
of Congress will press it full in her face Even
n the last Congress, her Loco Foco Delegation
generally separated from the drilled ranks Of their
party and voted with the Wings on most of the
questions connected with the Tariff. They will
be driven TO more decided protest against the
policy dictated by the principles of Calhoun and
the necessities of Van Buren, at the approaching
Session.
On the Wing side all is steadiness and conf
dence. Our friends may or may not see fit to put
forth their whole strength this fall but they rest

On every question OF public policy, the oppo-
nents al Loco Focoism in the State heartily
united with regard TO men, there Is very small
dissent. While the great mass of the party there
as every where, embracing at least ninctcen-twen-
tieths Of those who voted for Harrison and were
cheated BY Tyler, are the ardent, unhestating
advocates Of the nomination of HENRY CLAY for
President, there are very few who oppose him,
and strive TO fan the embers of the old Anti-Ma-
sonic feeling into hostility to hun, and to shape
the Anti-Slavery sentiment into the same channel.
The leaders in this movement ara strong men and
good men-men that we want and must have
with us in the struggle of '44-men that the
Tariff convusIon of next winter will probably
bring into line. They are pretty generally the
same men who in 1886 protested against the no.
animation Of Gen Harrison, because he was not
Anti Masonic enough, and threw the vote of the
State for Van Buren, by handful, crushing their
Anti Masonic friends and giving the sway to
their opponents in order TO show their devotion
to Anti Masonry Some of them followed out
the lead by going square over to Van Buren, and

all these, with Gen. Scott himself, will come in
to the support of the National candidate of the
Anti Destructives after May next, if not sooner.
Meantime, we rejoice to see that, with few excep-

We have said that the signs are auspicious.-

will come in time.
Again: Lancaster County is the seed-bed and
stronghold OF destructive Anti masonry, having
given great maorties for that party steadily since
iS29-l,50O for Ritner at one contest, and over
1900 at two others. In the last Lancaster Elk.

been Anti Masonic Members of Congress from
the County; John Strohm late President of the
Senate, and one of the strongest men in the
State; George Ford, member OF the distinctive
