THE PENNSYT,VANJAN

The editorial charge of this old and influential
democratic journal has been confded to the care of
S. ID. Anderson, esq, gentleman widely known in
Pennsylvania for his fine abilities writer, his
cess and experience as journalist and his unfaler-
ing devotion to the principles of the democratic
party. The Pennsylvania is one of the oldest most
efficient, and most acceptable organs of the denoc-
racy in the Union and with increasing years it fur
nshes the most substantial evidences of increasing
popularity and usefulness.
We make the following extract from the salutatory
address of Mr.. Anderson:
q claim to be unfaltering Jealous party man. and
despise the sickly idea of neutrality in politics. whether
real assumed conscentiously believe the democrat
c party has becn and is the nobles west and most
l society of men that yet existed believe it

feeling and opinion and that since it founded it has
been the moral and intellectual guardian Of true re-
publican freedom this continent Combining the most
generous impulses with the reflective caution OF a real
conservatism, not only has it always been the ncoup
BILE friend and protector of the vital principles of national
liberty, but in its just comprehensive honest and liberal

best and safest principles of political economy the real
