THE DEMOCRACY AND MR.. DAI.-
LAS. - q

The Spirit Of the Times, one Of the leading
LOcOfOcO papers Of Philadelphia, publishes
the following remarks on the passage Of the
new bill, enshrouded in black mourning
lines
Passage Of the Tarif Biz IN Bill in the
SenGte-1 Treason to Pe"nsyiUGntO.-The in.
fanny has been communicated and blythe vote
Of George Mifflin Dallas, Of Pennsylvania
The old Keystone has been blasted by the in
crate hand Of treacherous son. Like that Of
him who fired the Ephesian dome, the tame Of
of George M Dallas shall be immortal-im-
mortal 10 execration, immortal to infamy.-
The Commonwealth that had given him birth,
life, favor. wealth, station and power, called
upon him to stretch forth his hand and save
her; he has answered the call as the assassin
responds to the mercy cry Of the helpless. A
las poor Pennsylvania! An empire within
herself, possessing more Of the real elements Of
wealth and greatness than the entire Union be-
sides, she has been sacrificed t. the dogmas OF
the South-prostrated and trodden down to
earth by those who were pledged orally and in
writing to stand by her. REPEAL is the word,
and we set the ball in nation, even though we
stand ''solitary and alnne," But we shall
not be alone" The rough, stout arms OF elk
teen thousand ron workers and miners, will
roll on the ball, nor will it stop till justice has
been done to Pennsylvania.
A later number of that paper has the follow.
ing: .....
Sorry for i.-Letters from different parts
of the State represent the excitement on the
Tariff question to be intense, and go eXaspera-
ted are the Democrats in many parts that all
sorts Of uses are made of the likenesses. &C., Of
Mr. noll In hon -Ern
made Of his portraits-in another he has been
burnt in etfgy, and in another his likeness has
been hung to sign post with the significant
| -" The Traitors DOOm.''
We can sympathise with our fellow mechan-
| les and lahorers who two years since almost i'd
olized Mr.. Dallas, and felt an honest pride in
pointing to him as Pennsylvania favo,ite son"
and are now forced to look upon him in the
light of a parricide-yes. we can see the bleed
ing, mangled anc PROSTATE form of Pennsylva-
MIA, and all brought about by one whom we
once delighted to honor, and we can see our
once hearty-harpy and ,0e'I paid fellow citi-
zens reduced to beggaty, starvation and rum.
still we do not desire 10 see the cause of all
these evils treated in way calculated to cause
reaction in his favor. Let US be wise-mod-
crate, and determined, and we shall yet shear
the tyrant Of his strength and convince him
that to have place in the hearts ofan honest
constituency public officer must be faithful
Pennsylvania can not be betrayed twice by the
J same man?
The following paragraph we extract from
the American Sentinel. another strong and de
cided Loco Foco paper, published in Philadel-
phia: ..
TAE TARIFF BILL PASSED THE SEN.

The news ofthe passage of the Tariff Bill. by
| the Senate, was received in this city, by Tel.
egragh. yesterday afternoon, and caused tn,
most intense excitement. There was but one
burst of indignation, that Pennsl lvania had
been grossly deceived. and that her best inter.
ests had been Frustrated, too. BY the vote Of
George Miff1n Dallas, one of her own sons
whom she has fostered and cherished for years
and who she had right to expect would
stand by her, in the hour trial.
