PHILADELPHIA, 9th Nov, 1874.


Last evening there was great "pow-wow"
among the democracy at one Of their head quar-.
iers. Senator Buchanan and young Captain Tyler
made speeches and declared opinions on the mean
| ing OF the recent triumph of Mr.. Polk-and il is
amusing to observe that these two great and valued
statesmen give somewhat different explanation
10 Inc popular opinion to those drawn by the
Southern politicians, even by those OF New
York.
You may rely upon the fact that the democracy
OF Pennsylvania is somewhat different from that
Of the south. THE difference is most developed
on the tariff and protective questions, and although
Il was the Pennsylvanians in The Baltimore Con-
vention who upset the Van Buren, party, yet in a
few months you will fluid them ready to unite with
any Clique to return the compliment TO the Calhoun
party Pennsylvania goes Tor herself and her own
Interests She has elected Polk, but will oppose
| the southern policy il he sides with H.
The Tyler influence IN Pennsylvania has been
more predominant than IN any other State. The
for'er cfiqne ana other family concerns, united
WIN several antquated politicians Lere in Phila-
dephia, and all exercised such influence on the
movements Of 1913 and a, in combination with
inc Iyier administration, that the overthrow OF
Van buren, was the rst result, and the election of
Polk the second Hence you perceive the same
| influences beginning TO explain the result TO the
democracy now Senator Buchanan will, think,
Vice President Dallas is IN the ndancy and he
will endeavor 10 combine with his dynasty the
Tyler, the Porter, and other minor Influences,
| which have been the predominant causes Of the
success OF Polk.
There is very curious opinion prevailing here
in some quarters, that Polk will have as much
trouble III, his administration with the various
chques OF his party as ever Captain Tyler has had
| with the wings and ocofocos. Many think that
| he will soon exhibit the same weakness and vacil-
| lation that Tyler has done-and that during his
whole administration he will be like a tempest
tost irail bark in the midst Of opposing and coun-
teractlng under-currents He is represented here
Of protection as Pennsylvania desires-and if SO,
how will such opinions square with those attri-
buted 10 him in South Carolinal In short, poll
ucal affairs here are getting into very interesting
and entangled state, and lime alone can unravei
| them.
In theatricals, there is quite a revival. Ander-
son. the young actor, has filled the Chestnut street
! theatre during the last two nights This has been
partly caused by curiosity. 1t will be recoected
that Forrest IS q native here, and 10 the manor
BORN" and his personal friends are numerous

no rival TO approach the theatrical throne. BY
| such, and also by some Of the personal admirers
Of Macready, Anderson has been pronounced in
| terror, though good actor; but by the independ-
ant theatrlcaEgolng people. he is rated equal
to the highest There will be, hereafter, very
country, between the old theatrical ciigues and the
youthful tragedian-the young Napoleon OF the
| green room. Every effort, private and secret, will
be made to put him down inferior TO both
Forrest and Macready, but am much mistaken,
| Ut Anderson takes the proper course) whether he
| Will not, III few years, take the wind out of the
| sails OF both. Forrest originally was coarse and
physical In his theatrical tastes-more Of a mob
actor than any thing else. He is now mannerist.
| Macready IS all art, celdncss. and prete nson.-
Anderson has the best natural elements for revvng
the chaste, lively, animated and classical school,
and nothing can prevent his final triumph.
