PennsyIvania.


special effort is being made by the Demo-
Gratis to get up shout over their prospects in
this State. On Saturday last they had informa-
ton from two sources that gave them great en-
enlargement. We knew very well upon what
grounds their hopes were based, and whence they
would lead and some Of the party have reached the
end of them. We have no fears about Pennsyl-
vania!
A correspondent of the Journal of Commerce,
a Democratic paper, in giving an account of the
large mass meeting at Pittsburg, few days ago,
speaks out his honest sentiments after the follow
ing fashion:
'You may depend upon it Pennsylvania must
be put down for Scott. The State of Pennsylvania
is singular one. 1t seems disposed to take the
lead in nominating and supporting Generals for
the Presidency. A few young men at Harrisburg
first nominated General Jackson for that office
and he was elected General Harrison was the
favorite candidate of that State in 1910, and he
toe was elected. 1t was Pennsylvania that de-
cided the election for Taylor; and now she is
going heart and soul for General Scott, and I
should not be at all surprised 10 see him elected"

Hon. Edward g. Marshall, OF California.
This gentleman recently caused very high
degree Of excitement at Loco meeting in Gin
cinnati Disney, Pugh, and other speakers were
present prepared to address the sovereigus !;
but Marshall took the lead, and unconsciously
got upon California, Oregon, and General Scott,
the latter ofwhom hepraisedmo enthusiastically,
to the dismay and horror of his hearers. Disney
and Pugh were called for, but Marshall said he
had come to make q speech, and would do moth
ing less. AT one stage of the meeting he held in
his hand dark looking affair, with a honey
comb or wasp-nest appearance at the end, at
which the people appeared to be somewhat fright
ened Resort was had to music, but instead of
soothing his Marshall breast, it only induced the
orator to say that he dared any man to .'endorse"
that music No one did so however. The re-
volver looked too formidable
The crowd scattered some but for appearance
sake Mr.. Disney made few remarks before Q
formal adjournment was had.

The" DEMocRAcY' OF WAsHrSGToH II Although
they are admitted to be in minority amongst
us, we thought our opponents could do better In
the way Of display than they did last evening.
They had used due diligence, and gathered in
their brethren from all our adjacepcies, and yet
we are assured their linesdid not include, of men
and boys, mere than couple of hundred!
The transparencies consisted of couple Of
balls (not Chippewa balls, for they were not
"rolling along" and several square boxes. The
designs and positions of the transparencies were
very correct generally, though the inscriptions on
many were rather faint I'VE beg pardon for the
use of the world! There were two having the
heads of Pierce and King. They were no doubt
anticipatory, and designed to teach the Locos
that, Notwithstanding all their abuse Of General
Scott, their candidates are to be beheaded That
having on it representation of General Pierce
on his charger, with the inscription over him,
"Come on, 6raOs NeaO England boys" must have
been designed by some mischievous Wing Pierce
should have been representedin another position,
and the inscription should have been, go on,
ys!--Pm gerry SICK" The representation of the
old game cock was the best Of ALL 1t was rightly
placed, too He looked all game, and seemed to
strut out with much dignity, as he droue all the
Locos before him
The meeting was called to order by Mr.. Hoo
yer, who nominated COL w. Selden for chairman,
and read over the. usual list of Vice Presidents.
There was no novelty,i in the speeches, though o
great many Of the friends of sold Chip" were
there ready to be edited and instructed
nay Our mechanics are hard ut work all over
the city, and there is enough Of it to keep them
employed long after the regular season closes.
By the time old Winter dons his snowy MANTLE,
our city will be able to boast Of many new and
pretty private dwellings and stores, and great
progress will have been made on the public
buildings.

ness in the highway robbery case did not appear
AS the chargers brought against gentlemen who
have always borne excellent characters, we think
some measures ought to taken for their vindica-
ton, or the witness himself brought to trial.
Good characters..are valuable, and even triding

to pass without examination.

The Opinion OF a neutral Journ.l.

The Opinion of Neutral journal.
The venerable and intelligent editor of the
Baltimore Clipper surveys the field of warfare
from an advantageous position, that of one who
has withdrawn himself from the excitement of
the contest He remarks:
At the commencement Of the Presidential cam
paign, the supporters Of General Pierce talked as
though they thought that there would be no con-
test; and we understood that some of them were
foolish enough to bet that General Scott would
not get more than one State-and even now the
New York Herald gives him but four States. We
insisted that this great confidence was based on
delusion, and the result win show that we were
right The calculation Of the New York Herald
is not worth button and it will be found, that
If General Pierce is elected at all it will be by
close vote. His friends begin to open their ewes
to facts, and to discover that his success is not
so certain as was supposed. They are somewhat
disconnected at the discovery for they have found
that more labor will have to be performed than
was contemplated. Can they claim the great
State of New York with anything like certainty |?
We know<hat the Wings calculate to carry it by
fourteen to fifteen thousand majority. win they
get the vote Of Pennsylvania? Even the New
York Herald gives that State to General Scott.
Do the count on Ohio2 The result there is very
uncertain. Late accounts make it very certain
for Scott Can they set down either Kentucky,
Tennessee, Louisiana, North Carolina, Massachu-
sets, Connecticut, Vermont, or Rhode Island as
certain for General Pierce? The possibility is,
that he will not receive the electoral vote Of a
single one of these States--and yet the assurance
is daily given that General Pierce win be elected
President by an overwhelming vote. This is abb
solute nonsense. The battle is by no means won
by him but, on the contrary, will certainly be
lost, If his friends rely on such calculations Al
those made by the New York Herald They NAV
lead the Democratic party into false security.

General Cass.

The Washington correspondent of the Charles
ton Mercury handles General Cass without gloves
He says the old gentleman is boiling worse and
worse the further west he gets, and thinks he
has his eye on 1856 and its nominee. First came
his explanation Of his Nicholson letter, finging
down the glove to his quoRdam southern support
ers then his declaration Of opposition to Mr..
Folks veto of the River and Harbor bill; then
his open advocacy Of the principles then his bold
avowal of opposition to the Fugitive Slave law,
on the ground of its not giving the fugitive trial
by jury And now, to the infinite horror of the
Mercury's Washington correspondent, he pro-
claims his adhesion to the land spoliation schemes,
free farms and all. In the Tammany Hall speech,
in which he stripped himself to the shirt he
said

Four short years ago this man was demigod

and the Wing who preferred to trust a Louisiana
planter, was laughed at and denounced as an

The Democracy /!

We ere Democrats, but not Locofocos Demo-
cracy is the pure creed, but Locofocoism is a
spurious article Philadelphia Sun.
That is the truth Of it. The disciples of the
trse republican school, at the adoption of our
constitution, knew no such Democracy as that
professed by the Locefocos of the present time
Theirs was pure abstract republication, the
spirit Of which was incorporated into our govern
ment. The present self-styled Democrats are
centralsts when in power, and anarchists when
excluded from the control of the government.
Had there been no Wing party to prevent it. this
spurious" Democracy would long since have
yielded the purse and the sword to the exclusive

"We charge Gen. Scott with cOwardies," says
the Pennsylvania.
The Louisville Journal says: eve do not be-
heye that any man, not coward himself, would
apply such language to General Scott. We have
no doubt that any man or boy who would take
the trouble might kick the editor Of the Pennsyl-
vanian, whoever he is, from end to end Of the
longest street in Philadelphia"
The Journal is harsh. We believe that this
Philadelphia editor has as much courage as re-
gard for truth. In his issue Of the 18th instant
he says " Scott has declared his opposition to the
naturalization lasos, and seeks to modify them by
COMPELLING EVERY FOREIGNER TO SERVE A GER
TAIN TIME IN THE ARMY OR NAVY before he can
acquire his right of citizenship"
Now compare this contemplate charge with
the language of General Scott in his letter Of ac-
ceptance. He says: 81 therefore barely suggest,
that, should be elevated to the Chief Magistracy
of the Union, shall b. ready, in my connection
with Congress, TO recommend or approve Of single
alteration in oar naturalization Iascs, suggested
by my military experience, viz: giving to all for
eigners The right Of citizenship Vho shall taithtully
serpe, in time Of aoar, one gear, on board Of our
public ships, or IN our land forces, regular or
volunteer, on their receiving an honest discharge
from the service"
Where, then, is the "opposition to the naturali-
eaton laaosP" Where, but in foggy brain, has
arisen the thought of g compelling every foreigner
to serve certain time in the army or navy before
he can acquire his right of citizenship
