Pennsylvania

The idea being quietly circulated by the Democratic
managers that Pennsylvania has invariably given her vote
TO Democracy, desire that such is not the fact
as will be seen by the following exhibit OF her vote In

rison li4,Ols Harrsons majority SIs. In Is4s Cass'
vote was l7S,74s-Tayors Is6, lss-van Buren's H..

What becomes now of the daily allegation Of the Blu.
chanan prints that Pennsylvania has always been true to
the Democracy Nor, may add would PENNSYLVANIA
have voted for the Democracy in 1874 but Tor the false
hood started and circulated by Buchanan himself tina,
''PoIk rd' better zdrg man than Henry Clay" This
SANDER lost the State to Mr. Clay and defeated bun for
the Presidency And yet Clay Wings appealed to to
vote for Buchanan
Pennsylvania will go against the Democracy again in

lima for Governor anu members Of the Legislature We
cannot too often impress upon Wing and American
friends in that State the importance Of eectng their

the Union. If Gmer succeeds it will tend to animate

In the Weldon Patriot find the following narrative
of facts which good and patriots should ponder well
before concluding to for buchanan the bosom friend
and companion of that arch agtator and enemy OF the
Sontl-MARrIS VAN BuREN:
Is 1t not fact that during the administration OF Willard
FILLMORE, the Slavery agitation quieteds
h not afict that the settlement of the Slavery ques.
ton then made gave universal satisfaction TO every Sec
uon oil the county, few aboonists in the North and
secessionistS in tue South alone excepted
II II not act that at the time Willard Fillmore vacated
the Executive chair the whole country was at peace
Was not every State and Territory in perfect harmony with
and respected, both at home and abroad than them
Whence then, the commissions within, the war.clouds
without and the danger which threatens our institutions
every hand.
Is it not fact that Gen Pierce entered upon the duties
OF the office OF President OF United States when there
was little or no agitation in the country upon the subject
OF slavery-when there were neither chickering's nor
tbreatenngs without but peace aud happiness in all our
borderss
Is it not fact that during his administration of the go-
vernment-brought about by him and his party the slave
ry agitation has broken out airesb and with fierce
ness than and is it fact that under his admin
Isiation the abolition party have become truly ormda
bleg
Is 1t not fact that Gen Pierce has appointed men to
office who knoloH to be abolitonstsy
Is 1t not TACT that he appointed Governor Of Ter
rtory, man Reeder who at the head of the ianat
cal hosts that brued their hands in the blood of south
ern shareholders?
