Our neutrality-suspicious. Administration re-
ceves as yet but cold comfort from Pennsylvania,
in return for the betrayal of her interests in the
overthrow ofthe Wing Tariff. A pretty fierce ebu-
lition popular feeling Of course anticipated on
the first receipt of the news there that the Tariff
had been repealed by President whom they had
been deluded into believing to be better tariff man
than HENRY CLAY" but this storm, it was ex-
pected, would soon blow over. Great confidence
placed in the gullibity Of the people, their at
tachment to party leaders, and their obedience to
party names. Great and certainly we-merited
confidence was reposed also in the mighty power
of persuasion, the unequaled faculty of reconcil-
ing contradictions, and the all-subduing sweetness
Of that blandest yet wisest of government organs,
the shield and buckler of the Administration, the
official Union And certainly, to do it justice, this
eminent and honored exponent of the Presidential
mind has labored with loyalty unsurpassed, but,
unhapply, yet, with Indifferent success. Ii has
occasionally sent CLEAN of comfort across the
Executive breast by its wonted cheering cry of
skies bright" soon, alas, again to relapse into
gloom; for, however bright the skies, they were
not frightened by the forge-fres and furnaces Of
anxious Administration that he who could at pinch
so utterly bend history to his purpose as to make
Hannibal the invader of Africa could surely per-
suade the simple people of Pennsylvania that an
impost of thirty per cent. on iron and coal was
quite as good duty Of one hundred per cent. ;
and that they who asserted the contrary only wanted
to make " Wing panic" The labors of the official,
however, as we have remarked above, have not
been rewarded with the success which, if zeal were
the measure of merit, they deserve The Democra-
cy Of the State, judging by the resolutions adopted
at various county conventions, have taken the bit in
their mouths and seem determined to show TO
those who have treacherously trampled on their
rights their interests and their confidence that they
are not quite simple as they have been thought !;
and have both the sense and spirit TO teach their be-
trayers a lesson. Mr.. Senator CAMERON, among
others, il SEEMS cannot be Modified by the bland
ishments of the organ for we perceive by re-
cent letter of his that he goes still for REPEAL.
Here is an extract from it:

Its repeal in constitutional way, must make the best Of
this law, and by greater economy and intense labor
make up, in degree for the advantages which It takes
from us and gives to the wokmen Of foreign countries The
farmers of the West win that they have been decev
ed by the promised British market for their agricultural pro-
ducts and that instead Of higher prices they will find them
reduced with the prosraon of the home Market hitherto fur

learned the truth of the odashoncd Democratic doctrine
