PENNSYLVANIA POLITICS.

DmooRAro STATE COMMITTEE This body met at the

after remaining in session for some time adjourned to
meet in Lancaster on the 9th proximo
The members of the committee, who by the way, are
among the most intelligent gentlemen In the State rep
resent the democratic party throughout its limits be-
ing in healthy condition, and daily gaining strength
The discord which for time existed upon issues of
real moment 10 the party in Pennsylvania is rapidly dis.
appearing and the bone and sinew of the peoplethe
honest masses who may be drawn from their support OF
time honored principles by momentary panic, but who
always return to their fidelity with the SOBER second
houghtare everywhere ralyng to the support of the
regular democratic nominees regardless of the appeals
and denunciatons of traitoB and open enemies. IA
voable result Is foreshadowed at the approaching cleo
on and our friends at distance may rely upon that
the democratic party of the Old keystone neither over
whelned nor dismayed. --PhI Arys. 81.
SIXTEENTH DIsrRIcr.-0ur opponents have for weeks
past been exulting the difficulty which attended the
election of democratic candidate for Congress in this
district We have all along felt easy in regard this
difficulty because knew the democracy of York Perry
and Cumberland to be made of the right kind of mate
rial and we knew full well that, however much they
might differ about men, they would permit the
mongrel opposition to triumph through their want of har
mony Our expectations and predictions this subject
have been fully realized and happy 10 state that
the confeees have chosen able and reliable candidate
for the party in the person of John A. Fisher esq., of
York county In the campaign of 1856, Mr. Fisher took
an active part, and as speaker, both in his and
other counties did good service for Mr. Buchanan and the
democratic cause He will be sustained nobly by the
people Of his district and will make excellent repre-
sentative in the Congress of the nation.--Aryus.
TwELFTm CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT The conferees Of
this district composed of the counties of Montour Co
lumbia, Luzerne. and Wyoming after protracted SEES
sion, have nominated John Mceynols esq, OF Colun
ba, the democratic candidate for Congress. Mr. Nc
Reynolds is well known throughout the State rad
cal democrat, and gentleman of energy and ability
His popularity is undoubed and his selection the
candidate is fortunate for the party as his triumph is
certain The democratic majority in the twelfth district
is at least two thousand votes .... sl

SRPTnBER 25 1853
III The Eiaors n dc WashiagtOa Union:
attended the late democratic State convention at
Syracuse delegate from this county, and took an
active part in its proceedings You have doubtless seen
account Of transactions and have read the resolu
lions, and observed the manner in which disposed Of
the various questions before There have been
nsinuations in quarters that there in the
yenon feeling in favor of Douglas and that, as between
him and the administration, the sympathy of tho
venton with the former. There is truth in this
insinuation large portion Of the convention
posed of men advanced in lfe and who had long done
service in the democratic ranks and who had nothing
further to desire than 10 witness the triumph of sound
principles The convention responded truly to the feel
ings of the democracy of the State in pedging their sup
port TO the administration Of Mr.. buchanan. No reso
luton having any tendency TO sustain Mr. Douglas in
the he pleased to adopt last winter could have
been adopted had it been offered but such Of
fred The convention intended that the campaign this
fall should be conducted State issues and should have
nothing to do with the presidential aspirations of any
man in 1860 The ticket is strong one, and will com
mand the united support of the party My opinion il
that il will be elected
The controversies in New York and Brooklyn are of
local character, and, il not settled win not inure
the State ticket The various factions in those
cities will unite on the State ticket whatever may be
their course with respect to their local nominations
The dispensaion of the patronage of the general gov
eminent in this State will always be attended with diff
culties 1t is almost unavoidable that the President
should make some mistakes. Mr.. Buchanan has doubt
less made some but fewer than made by his prede
cessor and not than could be expected There is
a very good feeling towards him in the party generally,
and his administration viii be strongly supported We
shall, think, return larger number Of members of
Congress than the democracy had in the last House
from this State.
II is generally thought that convention will be called
to revise and amend the constitution Our convention
advised TO that course but the black republicans and
know -nothngs silent the subject. There
several points in regard TO which the constitution has
failed to answer the public expectation There
be general desire to have it submitted for revision to
another convention.
