PENNSYLVANIA.
We transfer to our columns, from the Easton
Democrat and Argus, the truly patriotic proceed
ings adopted by the republicans of Northampton
county, at their annual meeting holden on the 18th
instant They breathe the true American spirit on
the great questions Of Oregon and Texas, and bid
proud and bold defiance to Mexico in her in
fatuated rulers shall mady resolve to rush into a
war aaa q H
In connexion with the people from whom these
proceedings emanate, friend now al the seat OF gov
eminent, who formerly lived and labored in their
midst, has acquainted with series of such sim
gular statistics that we cannot resist their pubca-
ton. Under the original organization of counties in
Pennsylvania, cold Northampton" constituted an inn
mense and fertile territory, stretching along the Lee
high and Delaware, and bordering on New York
and New Jersey. When the whole territory known
as sold Northampton was yet togetier--in other
words, ga unt"--it usually gave a democratic
majority Of from 900 to 1000. The county being
too large however, the legislature for the sake Of
convenience, commenced the work of subdivision.
II was the fortune of Lehigh to be sundered first
from parent siiC luho ~vu uctHVSiuuC
majority. Wayne was then carved out, and she
polls $50 ditto. Pike came next, and she furnishes
a quota of 500 ditto. Monroe next, and she caps
the climax by giving l,400 majority, (out of about
I,7eO votes, all toldD Carbon was cut or last, and
she gives $50 republican majority. But what is
more remarkable than all beside, the remaining por-
ton Of the mother county has, during all this time,
gradually INCREASED her own majority to over 100,
despite all this legislative carving and cutting, and is
behind none of her fair daughters, except gallant
little Monroe! The same counties, united, gave, at
the last presidential election, $500 majority for
Polk and Dallas, and descended upon the backs OF
the Philadelphia wings and natives like cataract Of
ice-water Our informant was therefore, justified
in calling ''old Northampton" sort Of political
polypus, which suffers no harm from being cut into
pieces, as each piece instantly arms itself to the
teeth, and becomes more formidable than even the
whole.
