PrsNsYLyANlA.-Att the last general cleo
ton, the Democratic ticket was defeated by
over 1000. The disalection in the Dem
ocratic ranks is more widespread now than
then; the union Of all opposition forces is
daily becoming more compact and solid, and
promises to be hardly less complete than at
that time Buchanan has scarcely any if at
all more personal popularity in Pennsylva-
MIA than any man out Of the State; many
old leaders Of that party are moving now for
the success of the Republican ticket. Al
lowing for all unfavorable facts, there is
good reason for entertaining great conf
dence in the vote of Pennsylvania. $4,000
votes to 60 upon is handsome advantage to
start with.

FREAoST's AGE.--Fremont was born in
1913, and was 43 years old in January last
At the even age Of A, the "ragged orphan
boy" will be President Of the United States,
the youngest President oyer induced Into
othce. The sleek, fulfilled and "rcspectable'
old-fogy journals (see Cincinnati Enquirer
may reyile him for his humble birth and hard
beginning, but The PsorLE will rally around
him none the less cordially for all that.
Mn. DAYTON. - The Philadelphia North
American speaks truly Of Mr.. Dayton when
il says:
In the SENATE Of the United States, IN ita
better and brighter days, though among its
Youngest members, he WAS eminent for the
soundness Of his opinions, tho cogent clcar-
ness with which he gave them utterancc, and
the decorous manliness with which he do
Tended them against oil attacks, no matte,
from what quarter they came. Had no pc,
l:tcal rev olution Withdrawn him from thai
body, he would to-day have been among it
acknowledged leaders,"
At the time he left, he was gaining posi-
ton among the foremost men OF the Senate
as debater and q man Of character and in
Auence.

Ir WILL NOT Do!--Let them sneer at our
candidate if they choose. We will not stoop
20 reply, for defence is not needed. You
can open no volume Of recent American his
tory, however fragmsntary, that has not al
ready embalmed the name Of Fremont for
the admiration OF posterity. Assail him
with the venom Of vipers, if you will his
name is already historical, and his fame Sc
cure against every assault. You may laugh
at his youth you may stigmatize him as
weak yeu may sneer mt him ns inexperi-
enced; you may deride him for his humble
birth; but already do the archives Of the
nation and the pages of impartial history
contain the record Of his heroic deeds, and
they will tell the future rs they tell the pre-
sent, tina! he was the discover, the conquer
or, the governor OF California aye, more,
for they will tell that he was the Fifteenth
President Of the United States, and that his
patriotic administration breathed the breath
Of peace over troubled nation, and brought
back the Republic to the pure precepts Of its
better days.

SUxsER's Confessedly this is the
most powerful speech that has been made in
the United States Senate these many years.
1t is speech Of that sincw and compass that
carries one back to those stirring times when
Webster and Clay and Calhoun, then in their
pnlmiest days, fought the fight OF the giants
over the questions of Compromise and Multi
fication. To its powerful array of logic and
whitening sarcasm the Slavery -Propngandists
could bring no other answer than the blud-
geon. To meet the desire of the people to
pernse document tho delivery of which has
so startled the land, we have procured .
quantity for gratuitous distribution, and
those wishing to read it can have copy by
calling ut this Office.

THE GOLDEN YEAR.
pY ALFRED rENNIsoN.

BY ALFREp rsNNIsoN. -.
We sleep and wake and sleep, but al things m'sve;
The sun flies forward 20 his brother sun
The dark earth follows, wheeled in her ellipsS
And human things, returning on themselves,
Move onward, leading up the golden year.
All, though The times when seine new thought
can bud
Are but as poets seasons when the flower,
Yet seas that daily gain upon the shore
Have ebb and flow conditioning their march,
And slow and sure comes up the golden year.
When wealth no more shall res; In msunded
heaps,
But, smit with freer light, shall slowly melt
In many streams, to fatten lower lands,
And light shall spread, and man be Iiker MAJ,
Through al the seasons or the golden year.
Shall eagles not be eagles, wrens be wrens
II all the world were falcons, what of that
The wonder CT the eagle were the less,
But he not less the eagle. Happy days
hol onward, l.eding up the golden year
Fly, happy, happy sails, and bear the Press;
Fly, happy with the mission OF the Cross;
Knit land to land, and blowisg heayenwald,
With silks, ard fruits, and spices, Gear OF toll,
Enrich the markets Of the golden year.
Butwe arcwrld All! when shall all men, good
Re each mans rule, and universal peace
Lie Ike q shaft OF lig ht across the land,
And like lane Of beams athwart the sea-
Through all the circle Of the golden year
