Pennsylvania is coming out strong for the
compromise and for non-intervention; opposing
at the same time the Missouri line. Ten coun-
ties have already either nominated General
Cass for the Presidency in 1852, or indicated a
decided preference for him over every other
candidate in or out of Pennsylvania. The coun-
ties who have thus signifed their adhesion to
the doctrine of intervention are Daupbin,
Washington, Perry, Berks, (the strongest dem
ocratic county in Pennsy lvania,) Lehigh, Potter,
Mexican, Fayette and Mifflin.-Gen. Cass will,
no doubt, carry the city and county of Philadel-
phia.-[ Detroit Free Press.

in the direction where he was, regardless Of
everything but the object fher eager vision, the

out in a manner most shocking to behold Mr.
