safe doctrines are strongly and ardently approved
by the democratic party Of Pennsylvania, ami their
adoption by the State administration will be loudly
sPPauded.
In regard to our semi-annual State interest due
on the Let Of February ensuing, am assured, from
the highest authority, that il will be paid beyond
the shadow Of doubt. The determination Of the
administration TO sustain State credit has become
the Just cause OF national approval and applause,

Hall. They perform the most difficult pieces of
music in the most perfect and admirable STYLE with
diferently-oned bells, which they handle with sur
prising skill and rapidly. Some of their tones
are exquisitely delicate and inspiring.
