"There has never been in Pennsylvania

indicate the intense feeling of Indignation and

reference to the infamous policy to which,

power and patronage, who. in their hearts,

The Washington Union, in an article upon
the late Democratic defeat in Pennsylvania,
remarks:
1--WE have encountered heavy reverses in
Pennsylvania, which would discourage any
out the Democratic party. Excuses are not
remedies, and we shall not, therefore, invoke
them We have been sadly beaten by ex-
tended detection in our own ranks-beaten,
we regret to say, precisely at the time that
the evil policy of the opposition was most
deeply felt all over the country. Our friends
have struggled with intestine difficulties and
with the open enemy, who were encouraged
to renewed efforts in conseq uence of the quar-
reS In our own party. 1t is undoubtedly
true, too, that the question of revision of
the tariff on the basis of direct protection to
special interests had much to do in pr occurring

Hon. B. F. Butler has accepted the Democrat
ic nomination for Congress in the Eighth Dis
trict, in a long letter, IN which he takes ground
in faYer of protective tariff, aud gives his views
upon the question Of slavery. He expresses his
belief in the right Of the people of the Terrific
les, when they are sufficiently numerous in pop
Ration, to organize Territorial government, to
determine the status Of society under which they
will live, and that this right continues until the
formation of such Territory into State, when it
is conceded by all. 1t will be seen that the views
advanced by Mr.. Butler upon the tariff and
slavery are not of the Buchanan Democratic
stamp. Tho Boston Post should read him out Of
the party. II it does not, we shall conclude that
this tariff dodge is well understood and acquies
ced in. Like the professions Of the Democratic
candidates in Pennsylvania, it is all for effect,
Ond it will undoubtedly have as much effect here
as there.
