GOOD PLUCK AND GOOD REASONING.

We insert the entire article from the Penn
sylpanian upon the Berkley county resolutions
and the Washington Union. 1t is peculiarly
appropriate TO an article Of our own, in this
connection, in another column, and shows that
there are some papers in the Democratic party
that are neither afraid Of their own shadows or
Of the dictatorial habit Of Frank Pierce and his
chameleon mouth-piece. The article Of the
Pennsylrdnidn our readers will find perfectly
conclusive on two points; First, that the Presi-
sident is using every means to get himself ad.
vanced for the nomination and second, that
the Washington Union has consented TO do the
work in any manner il can be effected. Read
the article and then say If this is not nstrict
neutrality" with vengeance
The BerkIey County Resolutions-snd
Washington Union.
In our article Of yesterday, referring to the
Washington Union, we took occasion 70 utter
some words Of complaint against the uufairness
OF its course in reference 10 Presidential can
didates-especially to its mutlaions of the
proceedings Of Democratic meetings, held for
the purpose OF expressing the sentiments Of
particular county or State, on the subject Of
the next Presidency. We cited, as an instance,
the publication Of what purported to be the
views Of the Democratic party, Of Berkley
county, Va, by convention held at Martins
burg sometime last month. Our remarks upon
the matter, we understand, have been made
the subject Of comment in certain quarters, on
the ground Of PoLIcYi and it is, moreover, as
serted in defence Of the Union, "ihat the omis-
sion Of the Berkley county resolution" was
entirely the result OF accident, and by no means
Intentionally. The belief that such was the fact,
eDjoined silence upon us and others in refer
ence to the UHion's course in this, as well as
similar transactions. Our friends we're assured
that it should be satisfactorily explained, and
we we're grati6ed in thus having a reasonable
pretext for remaining quiet. But as more than
month has elapsed without any excuse or
explanation being offered, and as the question
has now been started, let us open the record
and make faithful presentment Of facts
The Washington Union, established at the
seat of the National Government, purporting
TO be the great central organ Of the Democracy
Of the country, stands charged with mutilating
and publishing false record of the proceedings
Of meetings, held by that Democracy for the
purpose Of expressing and promulgating the
sentiments of the people represented by them on
the subject ofth presidency. In that journal,
Of the 2lst Of February, 1856, will be found
published, what is called "tbe Berkley County
resolutions" expressive of the views Of the
Democratic party Of that county; and in this
publication resolution favorable to the preten-
sions Of PENNSYLVANIA and her distinguished
candidate, is suppressed or omitted by accident

statesmen, whose eminent public services have
suggested their names as suitable standard
bearers in the coming Presidential contest.
We avail ourselves of this occasion TO tender TO
| our Democratic friends our grateful acknow-
| Judgments for the unprecedented circulation to
which the Union has attained"
| Rejoice all the earth Dem ocratic earth, we
mean, and learn from the Washington Sentinel
that the Washington Union-Pierce's organ
looks only to "PRINcIPLEs"-not "MEN"-it
avoids too, most properly, all discussions as to
the comparative claims, &c., of the several
candidates, and sustains and defends the
Administration with promptness, zeal, and
earnestness; and repels all unjust assaults upon
the "prominent Democratic statesmen" &C.,
&c. This is right--it is as it should be-and
therefore we hope it will continue to notice
only its own Benjamin, wherever he may be
mentioned by an oiIice-holder, or the friend o.
one, to the entire disregard and neglect of al
the other candidates.

our readers that we have adopted
the policy of abstaining from all
discussion in the UNION OF the

any increase in the domestic product since 1850,

The average import for a series of years was
about 81 ,0O0, 00O, making a total consumed in
the country of 8l,000,0OO of pounds. In order
to get the yearly consumption Of wool in the
country, or Of fabrics made from it, the amount
imported in cloth must be added to the consump-
ton of wool, which would give yearly con.
sumption of about 200 O0O, 900 Of pounds.

RUxoRED ATTACK UPoN PLYMOUTH CHURCH.
The course of Mr.. Peecher and the congregation
OF Plymouth Church, on last Sabbath week, in
contributing toward the purchase of the slave
woman, Sarah, is said to have given high offence
to certain parties Of the Short Boy order in this
city. Indeed; it appears that their dissatisfaction
was so great that they held several indignation
meetings about it. whereat they resolved to visit
tho church, its people and pastor with condign
punishment. The demonstration was set down
for last night, but intell of their intentions
