Political Propecs- Pennsylvania Thinks about III
Administrdton.-Ar. Buchanan-Mr. Dallds-Hoo to
Make Pennsylvania a Unit de-, dc.
The political ball Of the State is finely opened Musi-
cians of ceremonies, dancing masters and par
ticpant (the ordinary crowd have taken their places
The mooted question is who shall be the next PRESIDENT
II the voise Of Pennsylvania taken in the present
cloudy aspect it would, unquestonably, have SOM
neither of the gentlemen spoken of having the sympathy
Of the of this State The present administration
is to the democracy loahsome. First because 1t has
failed to be progressive and to do anything secondly
because it has tied around its neck political democratic
loadstone-James Campbell. In truth and in fact, Mr.
Buchanan has ruined all the prospects he may have had
in Pennsylvania for the Presidency by his assoca
ton aiation with those hackers" to the present
notwithstanding Pitt, Campbell Martin Co..
through whose like exterior the people have long
since penetrated Mr.. Buchanan himself, by "forcing
clarks and connterjumpers'-ha ceased to have any
hold upon the affections Of the gentlemen Of

of the democracy of the State-independent of which
his course as consPirator at the late diplomatic
sssembage of American Ministers in Europe has created
mstrus and suspicion of bis character in the minds OF
Pennsy lvanians On the other hand, George Mifn Dali
las has been popular IN his own State He and
the people have never been acquainted. While Jam mes
Buchanan has been demagogue Geo. M. Dallas, BY his
aristocratic bearing has far separated himself from,
the people all their ainities and himself
in position to be deprecated Instead Of being admired.
Forgetting that he the scion Of good man. but
stroing actor he has stood aoof at all times from the
people, Being himself statesman and but second
rate in his profession having favor with the peo
pie backed only by interested of his stamp his
claims too, have been ignored. SO that Pennsylvania
stands Strengthened by intestine difficulties, without
candidate for her standard bearer, and without power,
unless by the force of irucng circumstances she shall
be enabled TO select some high minded, honorable and
capable man, of which she has number This can only
be done by cessation Of ostes between the houses OF
York and Lancaster. the for whom has been
long waged in Penn iyvana, ana of which the people
have sick and tired, and by the selection Of
Who for their dntcreeansss though stern In the dis
charge Of their duty essentially great and have
been faithful in the that has cemented this Union
Where shall ooks Pennsylvania knows, perhaps,
many: the Union knows but few, and at shepre
sent time point at but two that would be acceptable the
people If this State Fer 1t cannot be disguised that in
the great crisis covering and surrounding the
country, must be taken who will be acceptable to-
the whole Union-one young enough to have the will,
with the power, to do-such the country could
rely upon In any extremiy and perhaps in Pennsyivs
mia, we only point to John NJ. Read and Richard
Vaux such men. II either of their urged
before the Cincinnati Convention and by it placed before
the Union, Pennsylvania in the coming contest will be
unit. Without such action the part of that
on the politics of this state in the coming Presidential
anvass will prove chaos. DIoGENE5.
