As It becomes moro aud more possible that
I, the vote of Pennsylvania may yet mako OF un-
the hopes ofail the candidates for the next
Presidency speculation casts her eye IN that di-
TeetiOn with more and more interest h1mor
6usiez hersefin fabEIcating reports to suit eve
rs political caprice, and Is not very tastidlou5 as
70 their consistency. Gossip collects her sto-
Ties from the tavern to the street, and retails
them for effect in the most convenient quarter
Every hole and corner is submitted 10 . careful
scrutiny with view to arrive ut political facts;
but most of all to make it apparent 10 the igno-
rant or the credulous that Mr.. buchanan IS uH=I
popular in his native commonwealth.
Ii is not out Of the way to suppose that men
NAV be found ready to give cretlence to almost
any "weak invention of the enemy. All the
sirnpletons in the world are not Inferred yet, by
any means. II may also, ina spirit of caudoT,
he admitted that MF. Fremont will receive as
liberal a share OF the popular vote IN Pennsyl-
vania. as any other gentleman whom The same
political combination conld have nominated
But notwithstanding the occasional vaclllatlon
exhibited by that state, it is thoroughly demo-
cratic in ats sentiment and largely democratic IN
its general majority. Oman emergency, 1t may
be computed as good for twenty-five thousand
democratic votes over the poll Of any candidate
the opposition may select; and therefore IL Is
asking little too much Of those who understand
the subject to swallow the story of the weak
ness at home Of tPennsyl ysnia's faxorite son.
The Daily Times of this city copies from the
Philadelphia Bulletin paragraph aimed by that
hermaphrOdite print at Mr.. Buchanan's head,
and forthwith builds up the most extraordinary
/ hope of success for Fremont as necessary con-
sequence. But the Bulletin is poor authority
for democratic views outside of the Cameron
school, of which it is rare disciple. It's own
democrncy has always been of what they call
there the "AIiddetown Bank character, and ex-
ceedincly apocrvphal in its favor. 1t is not pre-
/ tended that PENNSYLVANIA is ttnGnjmouslYi
cd to 10 for the democratic nominee; and as for
PbiIadelplia.z it is we'll known to be the very
sl,asIt and 'front.' of his aggregated antneoism-
philodelnhia prOper before the passage of the
recent consolidation act, always averaged a sub
stantial wing majority of about four thousand,
which minority the adjoining democratic districts
could sometimes overthrow and sometimes not

mny safely be called democratic city; but the

! chsnan's determined rival. Hence it is absurd
tn claim No evidences of Mr. BIS unpopuarity in
tho stare tIn little manifestations of hostility that
NAV cmanate from the disappointed clique Of
] politicians that gather about its metropolis
The feud that has so long existed between, the
friends of Mr.. Buchanan and those of Mr.. Dali

do we think it likely that even sense of policy

ulent the hostility OF the latter for the former at

ever out of the city of philadelphia, while 3Tr
Buchanan in the interior of the State has hold
upon the confidence Of the Democratic masses
that no political captrap can shake, no political
songs disturb. and no political opposition des-
troy. In the country towns, in the villages,

will be forced to confess that the Democratic
feeling is Overwhelming, and that, in every in
stance, that feeling points to Buchanan, and to
him only, as the choice of the "Old Keystone u

enthusiasm unbounded.

IInont. Indeed, We count upon such result
The Republican party there embraces all the
old addition forces as well as the forces of the
Wings. and will be increased this time, ne sus-

majority Of whom, with unerring constancy in
their factious principle of hatred for Buchanan
