sY The publishing agent of the American
Democrat of Baltimore, desires us to say, that
ourinforrnant was entirely mistaken in repre-
senting him as having said that he was to be

Our informant did not say that the publish

Smith and Mr. Miller, the two Inspectors, are COM
petent men, aud also are both Free-soilers. They

Free-soi candidate for Senator last fall in opposi-
ton to VIM. a. Furman, the National Democratic
candidate--both of them well knowing at the time
that there was not the least chance for GARDENERS
election, (who received but 1903 votes while Fur
man received 3, ,328, more than two to one) but
the Free-soil Democrats succeeded in drawing off
votes enough from Furman to elect Rider, the
Black Republican" and Soft Senator.
These are the men that receive appointments
under President Pierce, who seemed to despise
the Free-soilers and Abolitionists so much in his
late message, and whose patronage in the strong
old Democratic counties of Long Island is dis
ponsed through William II. Ludlow 70 such men

Mr.. Beekman has controlling influence over the

The above call, which appears in the last num-
ber of the Harrisburg Telegraph, is one of the
most important political movements of the day.
IF responded to in the spirit which originated it,
the opposition to the Democratic party in this
State will be able to nominate ticket that will
prevail by an immense majority. 1t is clear that
neither the Americans, Republicans, nor Wings,
can expect to carry the State single handed, and
that the only hope of success lies il. the union Of
the moderate men Of these conflicting organiza-
tions. Should the proposed convention adopt a
strong ticket, the defeat of the Democratic party
in the State election in October would be inevi
table, and it would as certainly lead to similar
result in the Presidential contest in November.
Whatever may be the issue of this movement, the
Whig, American and Republican members of the
Legislature have displayed considerable foresight
and irmness in inaugurating this movement of
union against the administration. The Telegraph,
which is regarded as the organ Of the State ad-
ministration, says: m g
"UNloN FOR THE SAKE OF THE UNIoN.---We pub
ish in to-days paper call, signed by nearly all
the ant-Pierce members of both branches of the
Legislature, for Union State Convention Of all
the elements of opposition to the National Admin
istration, to nominate q State ticket, and to take
such other action as the times may demand.
:" This step of the Whg American, and Repub-
ican members Of the Legislature, is no more than
was expected and demanded by the large majority
of the people of Pennsylvania at heart opposed to
tAe policy of the so-called Democratic party, and
they will cordially second the movement and carry
it out in good faith and with signal success.
!" We learn further that the American members
of the Legislature have drawn up and signed a
memorial to the American National Convention, to
assemble at Philadelphia, asking that body to
abolish all secret forms in the organization 80 that
they act on equitable and liberal basis with
all others who are opposed to the National Admin
stration." ,h sE
1t remains to be seen if the constituency Of the
opposition members of the Legislature win exhibit
an equal sagacity and discretion or if they prefer
to continue their puerile quarrels and thus secure
an easy triumph to the Democratic party. We
should suppose that there are sane men enough
among them to prevent such a result, by adopting
the counsels and suggestions of the above call
We have good reason to believe that it viii be
