the overwhelming and em phatic voice of Virginia
The first Of these three reasons we have already
analyzed Az to the nomination being due to the

As to the nomn ,tion being due 10 Pennsy lvania,
we have also shown tfat all that Governor Wise

considering the weight and importance of that
State, cannot be expected to act the doagh-face

way of Presidel tial promotion, so that in saying
the nomination is due to Pennsyvanis, what he
really means is that it lie due to the dOush-f4ces
Of PENNSYLVANIA as an encouragement. to future
subeelv iency. We now add a remark applicable
to both these reasons that il the nomination OF
James Buchanan be due, on the part of tue South,

he is the head and representative If is, at the same
