PENNsrLvANIA.-The Pittsburg Gazette, the
Oldest newspaper published west Of the Ale
ghcny mountains, declares that in Pennsylva-
MIA, bis native State, ''Mr. Buchanan possesses
no strength that may be called formidable His
nomination merely keeps those in the party who
otherwise would have been driven from it, but
it brings no outside aid. We have not seen or
heard Of one American, old-line whig, or re-
publican, who will vote for him; and we know
there are hundreds OF democrats in this county
who voted for Pierce, who will not, under anv
circumstances vote for Buchanan. In '5a Pierce
carried Pennsylvania by an immense majority,
and he obtained sweeping majorities in Greene,
Fayette, Westmoreand, Clarion, Armstrong,
Venango, Butler, Potter, Mercer, Crawford,
Warren, Mexican, Bradford, Susquehanna and
Tioga counties. Il was by means of these
counties that he carried the State. In 1856
nearly all these counties will give heavy major
tiles against Buchanan, and the few that will
not do SO, will be ableto give but nominal ma
jorities for him.

to quiet the Kansas excitement at anF haz-

1t Is not improbable that governor Shannon,
