HARRISBURG, Jan. 81. 1876.
I,is now nearly three weeks since the meeting OF
our Legislature, and little has been accomplished
beyond an organization. and preparation for ous-
ness. The Locos largely out-number the W hiss,
and intend to have every thing done in their own
way as q mater of course, and have already gwen
intimations. that that way is TO be characterized
with their usual liberality-and that in every meas
ure brough, forward, connected however remotely
with party issues, the Pennsylvania q Democra
cy' will go Jar the farthest in sustaining the
policy Of the National Administration. /, seems TO
be lauentaby that there are influences a. work
out OF Pennsylvania which felt here, to the
eopardng OF the dearest interests of State Il
will be well for u.s. If il shall prove that there is still
remaining sufficient Conservative influence 10 sus
tain the settled policy OF Pennsylvania, and shield
it from the destroying hand about 10 be raised al
Washington.
The Senate have, with commendable promptness
and unanimity. passed resolutions OF instruction
against any modification or repeal OF the Tariff OF
ls42. The House will not act with the same unani-
nifty. Already have two OF lis members, who stand
high in the confidence OF the Loco-t oco party, an
nounced their opposition to that Tariff on the floor
OF the House and they have given out IN boaung ter ms
that they will be sustained by others Indeed. large
and influential majority OF the party by their recorded
few days since published 70 the world that they
hating the subject and that they were ready to
be Influenced by the Of the British Admn;stra-
ton, which they supposed about to &c changed
established policy of the Old Keystone. These Begin
Rings lead expect strange Developments soon. The
people of Pennsy yvanathe majority who lent their in
uence to place Free Trade Administ ation in power
may yet reap the bitter consequences OF their course in
prosraion OF their Mining and Manufacturing
interests and find when i, is too late TO remedy the
evil that they have been dupe6-that they have been
swindled. The Wings gave them warning of II, upon
every stump iu Pennsylvania, and have thoroughly
washed their hands OF the guilt The Leaders here

the people in ~ they recalled By the firm and
noble hearted Wings OF our Legislature.
The indications OF the last two three days lead TO
eed through during the session. Is 10 DC hoped that
these first impulses may be continued as they must
necessarily be- in order TO satisfy in any measure, the
desires Of our prcyiRS people.
The members desks covered With petitions and
the hands of Committees already full large num-

the Legislature and which have enlisted warm and en-
ergetic friends and opposers ardent and ndefa,gabe
