IMPORTANT PRESIDENTIAL Commemorative
find the following important paragraph at the
head OF the editorial column Of yesterday
Philad1lnhia Penns1lr1ninu.-

GOVERNOR BIGIER AND JAMES BUCHANAN.
We are authorized by Governor William Bgler to say
that the elegrapbic despatch which sent the
Union and published in Philadelphia and other
TO be triumph Of Gen. Pierce and defeat o. James Blu
chanan in pennsylvania, for the Presidency, is unqna
fedIy false. Senator B2er has been, and Is now, the
devoted and active friend Of Mr. Buchanan, and will
tam him for the Presidency with ell the energy and in
tsect Of which he IS master. His preference for M
Buchanan known to the democratic members OF the
legislature, nine-tenths Of whom Buchanan men
before he received the caucus nomination.
This is sufficiently explicit for the dullest Of
the Pierce democracy. The apparent indig-
nation with which Governor Bigler repudiates
the name of Pierce, is, however, surprisingly
emphatic. The Senator elect makes his cor
rection as il great outrage had been cast
upon him by the announcement that General
Pierce is his fayorite for the succession. The
conduct of the Penasylpanion, too, appears to
us as somewhat ungrateful. Colonel Forney,
if we are not mistaken, while he has leading
hand in the Washington Union, still keeps
finger in the management Of his former organ
at Philadelphia. But how can Mr.. Pierce sub
nit to being thus humbugged by his kitchen
favorite, who, while worshipping the President
at Washington, gives him the cold shoulder,
and huzzas for Buchanan in Pennsylvania?

WASHINGTON, Jan. TO- 1855.
The rumor that the United States and Russia had
tered into conditional offensive and defensive treaty,
which rs we learned per advices by the Atlantic had
caused much excitement in European capitals proba-
bly, sprung from the fact that Russia has submitted
draft OF a treaty Of amity and commerce.

all the Richardson members present-except Messrs.
Barclay, Hickman and Va-oined by the Fuilertes and
Messrs L. D. Campbell Dunn, Harrison, Moore Scott

hazard Of that election by blind adherence
to the present programme of operations.
Above all, to fuse into the contest the new
elements of Americsnism-to attempt to give
expression to reforms in the midst Of war
urged on by the enemies of the Union-is no
better than to address an army upon the i'm
provements of gunnery in the midst of q can
nonade by its enemies. Substantially there
are but two parties in the field. The black
republicans are in the minority, and yet they
are doubly stronger in the House than in the
country. They gained their position in 1854;
in 1855 they lost in six States more than half
their popular support. To permit them, under
such circumstances, to triumph, is to give
them, by the treachery of their opponents, a
new lease of power and new agencies for
future mischief
What, then, is the duty of the democrats
and the Americans in the present emergency?
To unite upon a new man and promptly to
elect him. The farce of the actual majority
being subjected to the minority has been play
ed long enough. It is impossible longer to be-
lieve in the sincerity Of men who continue to
proclaim Banks as the treason candidate, but
so manage as to render his election not only
possible but highly probable. 1t is not honest
thus to act-it is not patriotic; it may evince
devotion to party, but there are reasons-and
this is one--when devotion to party becomes
constructive treason to the constitution. Mark
that,

THE PENNSYLVANIA SENATORIAL ELECTION
A VERY INSTRUCTIVE CAsE.-The Legislature
Of Pennsylvania have just elected to the Uni.
ted States Senate Ex-Governor Bigler, demo
crat) in the place of Cooper, (whig,) whose
term has expired. In 1854, Governor Bigler,
as the democratic candidate for reelection,
was overwhelmingly defeated by the combined
American party, wing and anti-slavery forces
This opposition also had the Legislature by a
decided Know Nothing majority; but they
unfortunately nominated in caucus for the
Senate Simon Cameron, a decayed pipe-laying
democrat, and there was rebellion in the
camp against him, and there was no cleo
ton. 1t was postponed to the present
session. Unfortunately, the democrats, in
the interval, secured the Legislature in
the last fall election, and now they send
the identical Governor Bigler to the Sc
nate who was supposed to have been litera-
ly crushed to atoms in 1854. The moral is
very instructive to political parties. II is
simply this Make the most Of the high tide
while you have it. "a bird in the hand is
worth two in the BUSH" Governor Bigler
owes vote of thanks to Simon Cameron.
