Extract Of a letter received from Psrnsylpanian.
"As to the hostility to the new tariff, recently
cried aloud in this State, the outburst is over; and
the panic-makers are already seeing their short
lived manufacture. Soon after the passage Of the
act, and in reference to the approaching elections,
some OF the Philadelphia wings tried, by coaxng
Arguments, to win the democrats TO a united sup
port of candidates for Congress pledged to re-
peal of the "runous measured" but the exclusive
whigery of that good city, unwilling to let other
hands than their own touch the Aesh-pots Of
their party, frowned down the suggestion, and are
now preparing for the political feast on their own
exclusive hooks. Meanwh lie, the democrats through
out the State have gone to work with little noise and
much earnestness, determined to achieve triumph
for the national administration Of their choice at the
coming election. Let the city Of Philadelphia elect,
again and again, her old-fashoned federal mayors,
councimen, and members Of the legislature, with
now and then a sheriff beside, and she cares for
little else. For this at every possible chance, she
raises pancs, to be used against her legitimate
opponents, the democrats, and her more mod
ern annoyance, the native Americans The
wings Of Philadelphia, always confident in
their local success, have already looked, and
looked in vain, around the State for those
masses that were to rise with their repeal sedge-
hammers, and thunder at the gates Of the Capitol
and the White House, in Washington. They have
been loudly called, but will not come; the demo-

ministraton, and its honest course, in words sound
and true and as she blows the trumpet for the
test, marches up all the old democratic State
guard. The wings, who, it is often said, triumph
every day in the year, except the day Of the cleo
ton will find this out after the second Tuesday Of
next October Your paper, some weeks since, pre-
dicted in its columns the success Of the national
democracy at the next election in this State;
from all that | have seen and heard, in
divers of its counties, l believe the pre-
diction will be verified calmly, and with little
outcry, but certainly, and to the confusion of the
late panic-makers. The candid and patriotic of the
democracy in Pennsylvania consider the new tariff

giving it fair trial. and only to keep in view, n
the approaching contest, the broad principles that
divide the two parties. Without this, the recent
kindly attempt on the part of the wings to speak,
to promise, and even to groan for them the
tariff, and distracted democracy, has only united
them with more than common cordially and firm
ness. If any shall stand off in the present rally,
they will be very few, and but little missed. These
are the conclusions have come to from conversa-

city, and in the interior. They sent to you in
all good will, and for what you may think them
