CO. II will be seen by the proceedings Of the
Democratic county convention, that Gen. Came.
ron has been nominated for Governor by that bo-
dy Gen Cameron has host Of friends in this
county. His course on the tariff in the U. S.
Senate has made him unusually popular.
ny ERS CAxxRoN's LErrKR.-We refer our
readers 70 Gen. Cameron's letter declining q
public dinner rendered 10 him by the citizens Of
panville, N, account Of the real and ability with
whfch he defended the interests Of Pennsy !vania
in the United States Senate, in opposition to Nc.
Kays tatM bill. The letter Is replete with
good sense and good advice.
U~We refer our readers 10 article from the
Harrisburg Argus, which fully sus'ainsu' in re-
eardto Mr.. Fosters free trade principles. Mr..
Foster himself woui not dare to deny the
| charge ifhe does, we promise TO overwheim
him with proof.
| rTHk OsE Term Pk,scrLx.--We refer our
readers to an excellent article on our FIRST page,
rom the Harrisburg Argus, on the principle OF
one term II wilt BE seen that Gen. Jackson,
in seven ou. of his eight messages, recommend.
ed the one term principle. President Polk has
also declared himself in favor Of that principle
Gen. Jackson plainly saw the rottnrt tendencies
Of oyRse holaers using the patronage and power
| of their Office 10 feelect themselves. as is now
the case OF Mr. Foster, the candidate fof Ca
nal Commissioner who held back the appoint.
men,s of the canal board several months, IN or.
der to use them to effect his nomination, and
4
gates who were applicants, to office. Commen,
is unnecessary Mr.. Foster Wanted delegate,
and the delegates wanted an office. They hap
pened to vote for Mr. foster, and Mr. Foster
happened to appoint them 10 Office. A most re
markable coincidence.
ar We presume the Sunbury Gazette foun'
satisfactory answer to their article, in our las
paper. We do not suppose that Mr. Foster eve
made "a public declaration Of his tariff pr'nci
pies" for the simple reason that he dare not d.
IT, But we do know that he has made many pri
vate declarations to that effect, and always il
favor or ftee trade doctrines The Gazetses ar
guments aboat "the Sheriff. otice, the f'rOiho
hoior &c. is AL CANNON, and has nothing to d.
with the matter or If il has, it only proves tn
correctness OF the Que term principle. The fac
that our conclusions appear strange TO the Ga
Eette, is no evidence that they are not correct
as, TO some minds
"Truth is sstrange-stranser than fiction"
