know il. We know the men by meme with
whom he intrigued and with whom he bar
gained--ihe men who we're TO furnish The
delegates, and the consideration, The political
consideration, they were 10 receive. In due
Time we will tell that tale, sparng no man,
but speaking righ, out, that the truth may he
known. A stumbling block in the way oi
these complotlers was this question OF the
Tariff The dread was, aud is, that the
members of the Legislature minht feel that
lhey owed something 10 Gen. Cameron for
hi. pas, vindicalion of the interests of Penn
sylvania. How was iis TO be overcome
That was the question and to get rid Of iha,
difficulty il was resolved that Gen. Cameron
should be ussaled, abused and villified, even
| in language that was artionable. He must be-
put down, 10 matter how much his own feel
inss or the feelings of his family and his

down and handled like a political felon. or
| that, however, hereafter we will speak.
| Then some one was to be seut TO Washing
ton, to induce the Southern members 10 agree
10 modify the Tariff as 10 coal aud iron forth

come off in Pennsylvania, 40 as to take the
question out of the canvass; and 10 this end

the Southern ultras on the slavery question -
However, OF that, too, we will speak hereaf-

The next plan was for the Pennsylranian
to change front, and advocate the doctrine of
Protection, so as 10 secure that interest. To
attain this object at that junc,rre, the coal and
