political history, We reSpc0d TO this
marked and uneQuivocal demonstra-
ton by unfurling his broad banner
from the mast head Of the PcnaSvira-
alan. The result of our elections for
. delegates has completely exploded the
prophecy Of lis enemies that he was
Unable to carry his own State that
State which, from present appearan-
ces, will again decide the Presidential
election-and that his opponents were

man has the strength to defeat JAMES
! BUCHANAN when heis fairly placed
before the people ofhis native State, as
a candidate for the Presidency. Every
means has been resorted to by his OPP
ponents to give the State to another
candidate. That candidate has had
strong hold upon the Democratic feel
ing of Pennsylvania-though his fair
fame has been most fouIly outraged by
those who have abused it in the endea-
vor to elevate themSelyes-and that
candidate rallied to his support many
who had always been among the ad-
mirers of Mr.. BUouASAN-and who
preferred another, not because Of any
hostility to Mr.. Buchanan, bat because
they thought Gen. Cass should have
another trial. The result is presented
in this mornings PennSyIUaRiaR-the
result in figures and in facts-the au-
thoritalive expression of as noble and
as radical, and as orthodox a Democra-
/ cy as ever stood fastt great principles,
or defeated bad doctrines. This ey-
preston is well entitled to high nation
al consideration, when we remember
the fact that it is the voice Of a Com
monWealth that has been more beset by
.actious influences than any other in the
Union. When we recall them, as they
pass before US like the shadows that
appalled, Macbeth, we wonder at the
fact that the Democrats of Pennsy!va-
MA have reserved a loothold at all, as
sailed aud decimated as they have been
: by the foe from without anG the traitor
ilom within. To ali these factions,
whether Anti-masonry, Nativism,
Bankism, Conservatism, Or Aboii-
ttionism, Dir. Buchanan has been the
early, bold and consistent opponent

bering men who dispelled the errors By
which they were misled, with rancor
, now regard them with respect. This
, is one of the secrets OF the strength OF
Mr.. Buchanan in Pennsylvania, and
: toe, refutes another OBJ ection paraded
! against him-that he is 1imid in cris-
: is, and hesitating in danger. When
ever faction or fanaticism raises its
head among US, his voice is the first to
! ezposeit. And yetso calm is his coun-
sci, SO conciliatory his objections, SO
generous and manly his tone, and 60
Overwhelming his argument, that even
where he fails to convince he never
| leaves an epithet tc rankle. Those
who are his real opponents are those
! who are so because they are the oppo-
q nents OF our great principles, as then
| whole history shows, and because they
. know that his high and noble nature
. scorns the little acts ofthe demagogue
, and despises the dishonest schemes o.
the leading politician. Such men as
> these were the opponents of every
. Democrat that has lived since the days
of Jefferson. and their vocation will be
the same as long as there are patriots
. brave enough TO expose their machina-
! tons. How utterly such opponents
f sink into insigniicance when they come
; before our true-hearted Democracy
a the result before US shows. Despised
by the honest friends of Cass every
: where, denounced by those in othe
States who have been deceived by thei
willy promises. and deserted by all wht
: placed confidence in them at home
= they have dwindIed into a miserable
q gang, who have now no resort but fiat
] iy to admit their weakness, and almosi
i no means to crafty their maignity.
