On next Wednesday the Locofoco judicial
Convention will meet in this place. The re- a
cent events at the Reading Convention, !
the exclusion of the Farzer delegates, OF the
Anti Buchanan delegates of Philadelphia, the 4
nomination of Seth Clover, and the entire
nrostration of the opponents of Buchanan,
nrove that he still controls the Locoioco par
tv of Pennsylvania, makes or unmakes whom
he pleases, and that he will rule the Harris
buro as he has ruled the Reading Convention.
The nomination of Judge Campbell TOR the
Supreme Bench, can be easily effected, II
Buchanan wills it, and that he does intend 10
have Campbell nominated may be sent down
ne certain from the course of his organ, the
Pennsylvania, from the declarations OF his
friends, and from the results of the last Con-
vention. 1t is clearly proven that Buchanan
is all powerful with his party IN this State
and this power he has been using and still |
uses to secure his nomination in the Locotoco |
National Convention.
Bigler and Clover, two of his friends and
adherents, have been nominated tor Gov-
ernor and Canal Commissioner The Judi
! cial Convention will nomminate candidates
for the Supreme Bench Campbell and Others
friendly to James Buchanan A creature oil
! his controls the leading Locotoco press IN
Pennsylvania. With the Governor, Canal
Board, the Supreme Bench, the Surveyor, and
probably Auditor General, and nearly the
whole locofoco press under his control he will
be very likely to present an undivided delega-
ton from Pennsylvania in his behalf III the
National Convention
Buchanan will strain every nerve to have
Clover, Bigler, Campbell, and his other men
elected, for on the election depend all hls
chances for the next Presidency. If they
be elected, he will carry the whole Pennsyl
vania delegation, and that, united with those
of Virginia, Georgia, North Carolina, Ala
bana, and some other southern States, will
secure him the locofoco nomination He al
ready is favorite in the South, and the Read
ing Conventian will increase his popularity
To increase his strength in the South, he has
caused the Locofoco Convention to pass res
olutions in favor of all the measures of the
Compromise, of the non extension ofthe VIII
: mot proviso, and of the Fugitive Slave Law
as it stands, without any modification He
J has caused the Convention to pass resolu-
ton in favor ofthe repeal of the 9th section
of the act of AT. Bigler has, in obedience to
Buchanan's wishes, declared in favor of the
Compromise, In favor of the repeal of the 9th
: section of the act of'47 Bigler voted for this
7 law, and Francis R. Skunk signed it-yet to
secure southern strength for James Buchanan,
Bigler has shifted his position, made clean
somerset, declared for the repeal of the law
for which he voted The Democratic Con-
> vention, too, to please the South, and promote
the interests of James Buchanan, has insulted
I the memory of the lamented Skunk, by pass
t ing strong resolution against law which
received his signature and appreciation. Bu-
chanan has concluded base bargain with
the South, and Bigler and the Locofoco Con-
FeHlIoi nave Tdtllieu IL. we nope tudC Ihe
!, freemen of the old Commonwealth will moi
permit their liberty and true interests to be
bartered off in this barefaced and disgraceful
!, manner. The bargain and sale charged upon
Clay and Adams, by the LocOfocos, was not
> half so infamous as the bargain and sale at
the Reading Convention. The old bargain
and sale disposed of offices alone, but this one
trades off the blood-bought privileges Of free
men DAILY American.
