In Pennsylvania household is contented and uni
ted. From high and commanding portion we look
the political families OF sister States and feel
much pride and pleasure when we see the same spirit
Of concord prevailing feel modification and pain
when the opposite spirit exhibits itself amoRx hem; and
it is with these unpleasant feelings that we regard the
present political condition OF Mississippi portion
and trust small portion, OF the OF that heroic
and noble democratic State given over TO discord Of
an extraordinary character. In the annals Of political
history few, any, like instances have ever occurred
We observe that, flying At the head OF their whk and
democratic papers. Stae ticket composed OF wing:
and democrats Our democratic brethren in good old
Pennsylvania will be surprised 10 learn thai any demo-
living could swallow anagamated ticket OF such
complexion The State executive officers. with one
exception, and two Of the members Of Congress upon y
whgs; the rest democrats This ticket OF shreds
and patches is headed BY "Henry s. Fooe for United
States senator"

Ii is needless to say that this cloven footed combination

it birth 1t is needless say that the enemy o
democracy is continually creeping along the earth like
the serpent seeking seduce from the faith all who will
listen lis seductive sounds; and that the temper IL
ever disappointed But on this occasion the movement
in Mississippi deserves special notice, because il has
ceived the open support Of one who has represented the
democracy Of that State in the Senate OF the United
States and who using this Ieprehensibe coalition
to regain his in that dign6ed body His success
would be more isgraceful than his defeat.
The democracy Of Mississippi. but for this guerilla
move, thoroughly united upon their candidates
Meeting The platform Of President Pierce. the great
mass OF the Union and Siate-rghts democracy Of that
State adopted for their standard bearers distinguished
members Of both these branches Of the party. Mr.. Nc
Rae the nominee for governor OF the latter, and MI
Muse the nominee for secretary of State OF the former

represents both sections in spirit OF equity II was
against union OF the whole party that the movement
have been condemning was got up, and II successful
would consign the government of Mississippi to the
der mercies OF whiggery.
1t may well be supposed that this dsorganizaon
OF the party would lead TO another, and SO II is We
have reason 10 believe that Mr. Foote he's determined 10

The political union in Mississippi manly due to her

dorsement OF The policy Of the President. The noble
course Of Mr. Davis a citizen, soldier. senator,
