support; but it fears that the rejection of Mr.. Blu
chanan, and that. too, through the influence Of
States whose electoral votes will be given against
the nominees, will throw damper' upon the ef
iors OF his friends in this State which will require
time to remove Ii thinks, however, it il some
consolation to his friends to know that, had the
Democratic States alone made the nomination, he
would have been the nominee beyond question:
and in this connection says: The delegates who ad
hered to him 30 faithfully all from Democratic
States casting majority of the Democratic vote of
the Union-going to show most concusively that
he was the choice of the party in majority of the
States that can be relied upon TO elect President
But they were overruled and borne down by the
delegates from States who never have carried, and
perhaps never will be able to carry solitary cleo
toral vote for any Dmocrac candidate for the Pres
dency 1t may all be right and proper that Democrat
&c delegates from Wing States should be admitted to
seats in our National Conve but mOdesfy alone
to say nothing Of justice and sound policy, should
induce them to square their preferences 80 as to
correspond with those of the States that have to
elect the President, if Democratic President is to
succeed at ALL"
1.-The Harrisburg Union comes to US filled with
complaint and reproaches, having no less than four
editorial articles in regard to the defeat of Mr..
the conduct of certain Baltimoreans. Two
other articles devoted to what it terms the Penn
sylvania disorganizers-by which. Of course, are
meant General Cameron, Judge Champneys, Colo
mel Frazer, John l.. Dawson, l.. H. Brewster, Val
entlne best, and their co-operators. 1t cals them
'desperadoes, crack Drained politicians misera-
bic creatures, ow, base contemplate blood
hounds;' and, in short, oil sorts Of hard names il
can think of; and says that at Baltimore 'they
were not only despised by the friends of Mr.. Blu
chanan, but the true, warm hearted, whole souled
friends OF General Cass, in New York, Michigan,
Massachusetts, Kentucky, and other States, shrank
back from them ~ from leper.' 1t rejoices to
be able to say this; and still more triumphant y
does it exclaim, 'but with what and con-
tempt and dersion they were treated by the gal
liant delegations Of the glorious galaxy of Southern
States Why, say it, exclaimed q member Of the
Virginia delegation to us: What kind of people
are these-they come and intrude themselves
upon US without an ntroduction-they DONE
claim to be delegates-they don't claim to
represent the people of Pennsylvania-they dome
claim any right in the convention; but they
say MIR. Buchanan cannot carry the State.
Whatever may be our personal difficulties in
Virginia, politicians cannot be found there 20
low, so base, 30 contemplate to come here
to thwart the wishes Of the State after deci-
sion by State Convention. Men unprin-
cp!ed as that could not live in Virginia The
Alabama delegation said to US; We do not listen
to these creatures that come here to misrepresent
you; they shall not speak to u.s. These men cast
their votes for Mr.. Buchanan, and, according to
the Union, using its own language, despised and
spurned the miserable creatures that came to de-
fame him : but he failed TO obtain the nomination,
which he would have received if it had not been
for the boodhounds that constantly in his
track 1t was left for Pennsylvania to have 'mcn
claiming to be of the political faith, who
crowded the bar rooms Of sister city to thwart
the expressed will Of the State and to 'deiamc
and Willy Pennsy lvania's favorlte son.
1.-The Mifflintown Sentinel takes the defeat
harder, if possible, than the Lancaster Inteili-
gtne1 and Harrisburg Union. 1t believes MIR. Blu
chanan would have been nominated but for the
assaults of "a horde of political demagogues from
his own State who claim TO be Democrats but
lack integrity of purpose lack oil that consti-
tutes the man. and who now have their victory ),
and ARE welcome to the sweet morsel'"
