e@g" The anti Lecompton democrats
held an immense meeting at Philadelphia
ou Monday evening, the Sth inst. Col
Forncy presided, and the meeting was J.
big addressed by Ex-Secretary Stanton
and others. Strong resolutions were a.
ioP:cd, pled:ing unccasing war against
e7ery attempt to deprive the people of the
sacred right Of self government. The ball
is rolling!
AmOns TIE resolutions adopted we End
the io,lowinc:
Resolved, That as the Democratic par
ty of PcnLs5 5lTauia, in the Presidential
contest, p!ighted its faith to the people of
the State and country, that the citizens of
Kansas, and all the Territories of the T.
Mon, should decide for themselves the
character Of their domestic Institutions
whether Of slavery, or the higher social
relations-and as this sacred pledge had
the willing sanction and ardent approba-
ton of Mr.. Buchanan, and was repeated
ly reiterated in our City and State by
Secretaries Cobb and Floyd, Postm aster
General Brown. and others, during that
memorable campaign, it would be both
unm auly and disgraceful in US, as Demo,
erat', to violate promise sacredly given
on the indefensible ground of expediency
aione-that being the only reason yet ad-
duccd by the friends of the LecoDpto
Constitution to justify such violation.
Resolved, That We extend the right
band Of fellowship to our brother Demo
'rats in New jersey, Ohio, Indiana, Hi
nois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Iowa, who
have SO nobiy resisted the attempt to
orce the Lecompton Constitution upon
ne unwilling people Of Kansas, and now
all upon our political friends in Pennsyl- |
anna everywhere to respond to the SEN
iment which protests against that unpar-
llelled fraud.

10 the Republicans Of Penna.

The time has arrived when in our judg

The Present fearful "crisis is doing sad
work in our manufacturing districts. In
this borough, the effects Of it are deeply
felt by all Of our citizens. All the blast
furnaces in and and around the borough
are out OF blast; the rolling mills, as well
as the nail mills, are lying idle, and wool
en- mills ere also closed. More than if
teen hundred men are thus thrown out OF
employment, and a great body of them
arc dependent upon the charities of our
citizens. 1t pains US when we think OF
this state of tbings-the more SO, because
the evil which has befallen US might have
been aVerted by the enactment of judi
cious Protective Tariff. This question
will enter largely y into the next Congress
ional canvass, and will, in all probability,
form the leading issue. Petitions are be-
ing circulated throughout the State, ask
ing Congress for an increase of duty on
foreign goods rivalling those manufactur-
ed in our own country. We, are. howev-
er, inclined to think that all efforts made
in this direction will prove futile, for, with
Democratic majority in the House and
Senate, we have little to expect. 1t lis on
ly disastrous periods like the present that
the great body of our laboring classes are
induced to think aud to inquire as to the
cause, and we are not therefore surprised
that they are taking such an active part
in bringing this before the notice of Con-
gress. Petitions will be sent to the State
Legislature to induce it to take such ac-
.ion as will make favorable impression
on Congress. We, believe, however, that
the Legislature will refuse to act on this
question.
The Democracy are greatly exercised
by the present state of things in Kansas
But one sentiment seems to prevail among
them. and that i, bitter and eternal op-
pposition TO the Lecompton Constitution.
Scarcely corporal's guard could be mus.
cred in this district n behalf of the Pres
dent with the views he entcrtains in re-
'pect to this question. Our Democratic
ournals are frank and outSpoken in their
opposition to the course which the PreSi.
lent has taken. The Representative from
his district, Owen Jones, was disposed |
o act with the Administration, but on bis |
ecent visit be found such an ovcrwhelm-
ng majority against the Lecompton swim
lie. that be has been forced to take a
tand in opposition to that Constitution.
bis opposition is not alone confined TO
lis district, but it extends throughout
he State. | may safely venture the as
ertion that if vote were taken to-mor-
ow in this State on that question, there
ould not be twenty. Eve thousand votes
ast iu favor Of the Lecompton Constitu-
on. All the leading Democratic ora
,rs and statesmen have arrayed them
lives against it, and all express them
lives in language not to be misunder-
ood. The Republicans are silent, but

Look OUT.-The Bank of Crawford

denounced by the Erie Dispatch as swind-
