Correspondence Of The N. Y. Tribune.
Since the Philadelphia Convention proclaimed
it's noble platform, and mounted upon it the young,
mwaveriDg hero, John C. Fremont with William
L. Dayton as its uphOlders, feeling, induced by
the many recent Outrages upon the rights OF the
North, and the fact that the Democratic party has
made the cause of Slavery its Own-a powerful
feeling, is arising in the North, which has the
means &C sweeping this section like hurricane.
Pennsy lvania is regarded by the Democrats as GER
tain for Buchanan; but they deceive themselves.
The northern and western counties of this State
are completely aroused, and they will give ma
jority for Fremont which will astound the enemy,
and be scarcely expected by our most ardent
friends. There a third candidate is not heard or
and the crisis demands none. In this section there
seems to be a good feeling among the Fillmore
men to unite upon Fremont, and if the subject Is
taken hold Of a complete union may be formed,
which would prove all-important to our cause.
And why should the Americans not unite upon
Fremont Haven't the Wings Of the South aban-
dOned Mr.. Fillmore and espOused the common
cause of Slavery-Messrs. TOOmbs, Stephens-all
save Crttenden
The Democrats are exceedingly jubilant about
here. On the 4th of July the Hon. Howell Cobb
Of Georgia, and William Z. Packer OF this State,
entertained them with speeches which, especially
that of the former, could not be surpassed by any
on that side Howell Cobb is a fOrcible speaker
and, though courteous, and not at all personal or
bera in discussion, seems to conhne himself 70
one subject-the object of his affection-Slavery;
and with unusual sOlicitude did he quote one
clause of the Constitution, viz, that concerning
the return of fugitves.
The Republican movement seems to have been
scarcely preached in this county (Bucks) hitherto.
But, on last Saturday an opportunity was offered
to view hopeful spectacle An announcement
was issued, late in the afternoon, of Republican
meeting. 1t was thrown out merely as feeler,
to see how the scheme would take in this place.
At an early hour large assemblage had congre-
gated; speeches were made until the hour Of ad.
jOurDment at l04. The last speaker, Jacob Ho6-
man, Delegate to the Philadelphia National Con
venton, seems to be the most determined, jealous
and eminent Republican in our midst. In discus
sOn at law or in politics. he is inferior to no one
among us. His speech showed him to be informed
in every particular relating to the politics and his
tory of our country; and the able manner in
which he set forth the wrongs of the North the
rights of the South, and the objects of the Repub
lican party proved him to be man of clear views
and great penetration. Under his auspices almost
solely, was the meeting assembled, and he prom
ises to be even more energetic and sefsacrifclng
in promoting the cause of Fremont and Dayton
Hitherto he has always been an incorporating
Henry Clay Wing, and the influence of bis exam
pie will enhance the enthusiasm for the common
cause in this section of Pennsylvania READING.
