elements around him and before him without
shipwreck. But while his aims and his policy
are for the good and the peace of the country,
the people will sustain him, whatever may be

interests of the country, and leave the wrangling
democracy to take care of themselves.

PHILADELPHIA, July 25, 1857.
Hon WM IL pAcHrp.


PHILADELPHIA, July 25, 1857.
Hon. VIM. +. PACKER:
DEAR SIR. have laid before the State
Committee the letter signed d. Wilmot,
dated the 14th instant, and am authorized
to say to you thatiiu the opinion Of the
Committee you ought not to accede to the
proposition it contains. The reasons for
this opinion | will proceed briefly to state !:
The Slavery question, which itisprobable
your opponent proposes to discuss, has
very recently been thoroughly considered
and passed upon by the people of this
Commonwealth. The late Presidential
canvass involved the whole subject so far as
it was proper for consideration by our
people, and we can perceive no utility in
its re-discussion at this time, nor any other
good reason for rc-opening debate upon
it, The position of our party is well
understood and requires no vindicatioD, at
least by any extraordinary proceeding like
that proposed.
A joint canvass by candidates for the
gubernatorial Office has never been conduc.
ted in this State, nor, believe, in any
other northern one, and may well be ques-
toned on grounds OF public policy. Ifrhe
practice be once adopted, it will doubtless
continue, and party nominations be uni
formly made with reference to it. Nc
party will venture to select candidate fol
this Office who is not qualified for the
stump ; and aptitude for debate will hence
become to be preferred 10 administrative
ability. In short, the result will be t.
confine nominations to the class of takers
and to exclude all others. A rule O.
party action which would prevent such mel
as Benz. Franklin, Simon Snyder ant
Francis r. Skunk from filling the Execu
tive chair of this State, must be bad one
and to-be denounced rather than adopted
We believe there is considerable publi
opinion against the propriety of cxecutiv,
candidates appearing at all before populaI
meetings to solicit votes. This was frs
pracliced by VIM. Il, Johnston in lS4s, ant
has been to some extent followed by candi
dates since, The good results oft arc no
obvious It did not originate with tn

WILLIAMsPoRT, July 81. 1857.
Hon. d. WILMOT ......
DEAR S1R-Your letter of the Il h
inst'nt was duly received and as it pro-
posed plan for conducting the guberna.
torial campaign which had never hitherto
been adopted in Pennsylvania, and as the
interests of other candidates were involved
in the result, did not feel at liberty to
accede to your proposition without first
consulting the State Committee to which the
democratic convention has on its part
specially confded the control and manage
ment of the canvass,
You will receive herewith a copy of my
letter to the Committee, as also my reply,
by which you will perceive rA,t your
suggestion does not meet heir approval and
that, for reasons stated sat length, ought
not 70 arccde to your proposition, 1t is
therefore respectfully declined.
an, yours, truly.

democratic party, nor has It ever received
any formal popular or party sanction. It
may therefore be considered an open qucs-
ton In future practice, and at all events as
forming no part Of the duty of a candidate
imposed upon him by bis nomination.
While your opponent holds The Office of
President Judge, there is special objection
to the acceptance Of his project. The pro-
pricty of law judges taking part in political
meetings is denied by our party, and is
opposed to sound public opinion. BY no
act whatever ought VIC to sanction or be-
come participants in prostitution of the
judicial character. Nor viii a resignation
now made, altogether remove this objection.
Your opponent has intentionally held his
Office until within three months of the
election, rendering it impossib lie to elect q
successor the present year, and il resig-
nation should now take place, it would
obviously be with the irtention of resuming
the Office after defca. for the post to which
he aspires
The proposed mode of conducting cam.
paigns may possibly be suited TO some of
the southern and southwestern States
where it has been practiced, and where
population and political conditions differ
from ours; but its introduction here would
be against solid objections, and without any
conceivable good. 1t is, therefore, a pro-
posed Southern aggression" upon the
practices and policy of parties in Ponnsyl
vania which cannot be at all accepted OIL
promitied.
1t is well that this question has arisen
when we have candidate capable and fit
for any discussion before the people, ant
when the decision can be placed, withol
embarrassment, upon the public grounds
which control it.
l am, very respectfully,
Your obcdient servant,
G. r. BUCKALEW.
