They moreover possess facilities, in relation to the
Tea trade, in very abundant degree, and doubtless
superior To any other Tea Concern in America
heir scrupulous regard to all principles that tend
to elevate the character of large house, is well
derstood, and has already procured them a connec-
on, probably, larger than all other Tea establish

to sell teas purer more fragrant, and perfect tor the

AN OLD DEMOCRAT.
Portage sentinel. [volume] (Ravenna, Ohio) 1845-1854, 1848-09-06

o. The wings are fattered at their
prospect of carrying tho State of N York
for Gen. Taylor. We have no doubt that
Mr.. Van Buren, and his followers are equal
ly reioicsd at that prospect. 1t is not doubt
ed by the most jealous opponent Of Gen.
Cass, that were the Democracy of the old
Empire State TO present an undivide front,
its vote would be given 10 the dsmocratc
nominees; but as it is, we think that the
detection in that State tends to insure its
vote for Gen. Taylor, southern man with
southern interests and feelings; and that is
doutless the object Of the political Judases
in that State who are seeking revenge on
the democratic party for not having nomi-
mated that political Arnold, Martin Van
Buren,. They care nothing about slavery;
and they do not even expect to carry the
vote of single State for their candidates;
they seek TO defeat the democratic party,
and to transfer the government over into
the hands of our enemy, with southern
STAKEHOLDER at its head, and for four years
to come, to place it under the control Of the
slave power. No true democrat, who pri-
zes the principles of the democratic party
will become party to this design, or lend
his help for its accomplishment.

PENNSYLVANIA.

The Democratic State Convention of this
State has nominated Morris Longstreth, of
Montgomery county as their Candidate for
Governor. There were several candidates
before the Convention and much warmth Of
feeling existed among the Delegates as to
who among the distinguished and talented
sons of the noble old Keystone, should be
the bearer of the flag of VICTORY, that
will wave in triumphant over that State at
the the close of the present contest. On the
third ballot Mr.. Iongstreth received ma
iority over all others and was duly declared
the nominee. The Convention djourned in
the best of feeling. Three long and loud
cheers were given to Gen. Cass the next
President of the United States, three to VIM.
O. Butler, the next Vice President, and
three to Morris Longstreth, the next Gov.
ernor of Pennsy ylvania.
The federal convention has nominated
w. f. Johnson, Ct Armstrong county. He
is the acting Gov. Of Pa, but will cease to
act after the people pass upon him.
