THE DEMOCRATIC UNION AND THE
RENNSYLVANIAN.

The Harrisburg Union replies 10 the at |
ack Of the Pennsylvania upon that paper,
in an article of great severity, and what
makes it worse ior the Pennsylvania is,
that the structures Of the "Union" are as
true as they are severe. As soon as ii was
announced that Geo. M. Lauman & Co.
had become the proprietors of the Union,
the Pennsylvania denounced the paper
and all connected with it, in advance, sim
ply because the proprie,ors were favorable
10 the election Of Gen. Cass, instead OF MIR.
Buchanan, and because they were friendly
to Gen. Cameron. According to the
clique that controls the Pennsylvania, no
one can be true democrat who supported
Gen. Cass and opposed the election of Mr..
Buchanan, and consequently Gen. Gamer
on is abused and vilifed most shamefully
because his name has been mentioned as
the successor OF MIR. Cooper in the United
States Senate. II is well known fact
that Gen. Cameron, while in the United
States Senate, exercised greater influence
in that body, in behalf Of his native State,
than any Senator she ever sent there. We
make room for the following extract from
the Union on this subject
Nothing but Il decent respect for ourselves
and an ardent desire 10 preserve harmony IN
the Democratic ranks, restrans us now from
fighting Col Forney and the PennsglUGnian
clique "wiih their own weapons" What if
Gen. Cameron should aspire TO a seat in the
United States Senate Does that give the
PennSylranian the right to assal him with the
unmeasuted abuse and gross calumnies il
employs against him Why should General
Cameron, more than any other Democrat, be
debarred the right Of aspiring 10 distinction
of being elected to any Office in the gift o
the Legislature, o. The people, il they deem
him qualified and worthy! He once repre-
sented Pennsylvania in the United States
Senate, and 90 Senator she ever had repre-
sened her more faithfully or more ably
Can tbs PemsylrGniGn deny ii q? or can ,ha
paper say that whilst in the Senate his ortho
doXy as a Democrat waSever compromised
f hy any OF his acts? The fact is, the abilit'
and industry of Geu. Cameron are conceded
on all hauds-and the only motives OF tn
Pennsglrdnidn for assaiing him are OF pri
vate nature, which ought never TO Cover
mea Of sense and sound principles in polite:
The allegation Of that pensioned press, lha
Gen. Cameron and the senior publisher G
this paper are opposed TO the National an
State Administrations is an nnmiligated false
. hood and as this is The only ground upo
f which lis repeated attacks could be luslitiet
il has placed itself clearly in the wrong, an
all its Aoundering, lis coarse epilheis an
1 personal assaults, cannot eX,rcate it iros
that position.
Arrogance is generally the chalaceriSti
of vain and weak minds, and this featuT
G marks all the attacks Of the Pennsylvania
