the opposition of Senator Bright has anything
do with support of Governor Wright. The letter
we publish to-day will show that the principal objection
is charge of having intrigued with Joseph A Wright

statement we made on Wednesday shows conclusively
that expressed determination to support Co.

1t notorious fact that long before the Senatorial
election, Mr. Bright complained of the vasciatng and
wishy-washy character of the Courier. Saying one
thing to-day and unsaying it tomorrow; and bis effort
now TO enlist the sympathes of Gov Wright's friends
is all mere sham the effort of sinking grasp

friend Of Mr.. Bright; whilst he says he had ex-

preference to any other person He had unqueson-

to be political hypocre. For this reason and not

The Democracy Of Pennsylvania by the action of their

The platform is broadly and clearly national. There is
nothing sectional non-commtta in its organization.
On its banner is the constitution and the rights Of all
the States of this glorious Union. On this banner in
the coming fight, will every true patriot look with deep
anxiety, yet with confident hope that it will be borne
the field Of battle with shouts of victory and songs
of triumph. With the Wings the issue will be direct
and pointed. In their convention by decisive vote
they refuse to endorse these They virtually
repudated the administration of Mr.. Fillmore. John

If this ticket succeed over the National Democratic

Convention of CoIored Persons.

1t gives great pleasure publish the following call
for State Convention of coored persons. Let them
meet together and consult their future prospects.
The question with them is truly question of slavery or
freedom. If they determine to emgrate Liberia they
determine in favor of their freedom and the inde
pendence of their posterity If they determine to re-
main this country they decide favor of slavery and
degradation In name they may be free, but what is
that freedom worth hem with the preudces of color
and casts, which will exist long white man treads

where under the approving smiles OF Heaven they may
be free indeed. We trust that liberal appropriation

MORE COiu SnOulueF Gen. scott.
Almost every Whig paper in Indiana has the name Of
Gen. Scott flying its masthead yet Prentice of the
Louisville Journal entirely overlook this popu-
lar demonstrations, and talks and acts if Fillmore
was already the candidate. Abiding article
which appeared the Southern Press in relation the
probability of the election being decided in the
House Of Representatives he says:
The popularity of President Fillmore and his Ca
binet is overwhelming in all sections that there is
probability that the election of President year will
deyove on the House Of Representatives. The people
well satisfied with the wisdom, ability, and pa.
trotsm exhibited by this administration that they will
give very thorough decision the question to the
Presidency at the polls without giving Congress
any reason to trouble itself about the business"
If Fillmore is SO popular, and his election, as Prem
tce says would forever destroy the hopes of the disu-
nionIsts, why talk about Gen. Scottl Fillmore is to be
the Candidate. The friends of Scott and Webster will
make the first demonstration, and Fillmore will be the
man whom they will readily compromise. Mark our
predction-we can track these coons.

O-The Brookvle American thinks that the free soil
party in the third District evnces much good
in supporting Col. Watts the Wing candidate for Con-
gress, than they do in endeavorng elect Mr. Julian,
of their own party, in the fourth. That the free
soil party should support Wings, is very natural,
but that Democrats should support free sOIers, is
unnatural and inconsistent II the free soers had de-
termined to support Democrat, vote for OF
their own family then Clarkson would have denounced
them with his usual bitterness, but he commends
their determination to support Col Watts in the follow
ing temperate and smooth language:
As they cannot elect of their own, it is there
lore the part OF wisdom select that in
cordance with their views and feelings. When they he

all sympathy and support; whereas, if they would
daily unite with that party or that man, who will carry
out all the real free soil principles, they create good
feeling for their views and elect who has influence
in favor of their measures"
