dulge in series Of very ill.natured remarks
in reference 10 the Hon. SIMON CAMEnoN.--I
In his application Of the term "poli,ica dema-
gogue" he has been singularly unfortunate
there are few public men in the State 10
whom the term could not be applied with
more proprie,y than to Gen. Cameron. But
the correspondent of the Democrat "loes not
know a single democratic paper in The State,
that has the face 10 advocate his claims fol
the u S. Senate" A correspondent of a
public journal should be better informed.--
The following democratic papers are friendly
to the election of that gentleman to the Sem
ate. The Sunbury American, Pohspille EN-
porium, Ldneasterion, Donuille Intelligeneer,

Cameron has no chance of being selected as
the caucus nominee OF his party, inasmuch
as he formerly suffered himself TO be elected
over the regular party nominee If we re-
member correctly, the Hon. Jas Buchanan
did the same thing. They therefore stand
pari passu. Yet we never heard this objec.

Pardonable political sin. Senator Cameron

ioral career with the party 10 which he
owes an early and an unwavering allegiance !;
and while he guarded, with jealous care, the
honor and the constitutional rights of the great
sovereignty which he in part represented, he
labored with urtiring zeal and signal ability
to promote the great industrial interests Of
the Commonwealth. II other gentlemen,
who have had the honor to represent our in
teres,s at Washington, had pursued the same
line of policy and obeyed the reasonable
wishes of the State, William F. Johnson
