that even the hot POLITICIANS, at pre-
sent assembled al Harrisburg, cannot denv

stem aud unfinching patriotism has right
To claim. Pennsylvania doubtless feels a
preference for her .layorlie son. and will

favor; but hope the democracy of Penn
syiUonia ,oiA cheerfuily cast her voie for
Mr.. Tyler, should Mr.. Buchanan fail 10
receive The support OF any other Sla'e be-
sides his own.
The very attachment 10 the person Of
James Buchanan, is a strong ioof OF The
high esteem ia which Pennsylvania holds
The President The similarity of many
traits of character between the Senator and
the President with which will prove The
truth Of my assertion. there is the same pri-
vate honesty and virtue, lhe same spotless
character as gentlemen and christians. the
same noble spirit Of kindness aud friendship
so familiar with the sons Of Virginia and
Pennsylvania; the same esteem aud rever-
ence for our constitution and Of the rights
| of our citizens, and the same love for coun-
try and honor,uol stained with unbecoming
desires for parry strife, and exclusive party
Fact of snch being the case, and for their ve-
| ry similarity OF character both gentlemen
ale beloved and esteemed in Pennsylvania.
Bit there are other reasons, d.,d far more
important ones achy PresidcM Tyier

place which he no,o holds By the ,oise
