RH- The harrisburg Chronidt singniarly
misspprehends our remarks in regard to Penn
syvania interests standing upon their own
merits, and demanding as National measure
adequate protection. 1t was not necessary to
abandon New England in 1916, in order to
secure for the coal and iron Of Pennsylvania,
all that was needed, because the manufacto-
res of the East were able to compete with the
world, while the furnaces and forgcs of Penn
sylvania were at the mercy Of every nuctua-
ton in prices abroad. What we complained
of, was that the Pennsylvania delegation should
have blindly and stubbornly refused at that
time to listen to any modification of the Tariff
of 1912, when such modification was inevitable
and demanded by the public voice !; and when
it is undenable that Pennsylvania, by o more
reasonable course might have dictated the de-
tails of the new tariff, or at least secured to
the interests of this State all that was peceS-
sary to develop our resources.
The Chronicle thinks that the different in
terests must combine in order to thrive. This
doctrine may be plausible in theory, but it will
not answer in practice. Pennsylvania has en-
tered into too many such combinations. One
made in lS46 for the sake of the cottonords
of New England, has paralyzed our industry,
and prevented the development of the mineral
riches of our State Mr. KUNKEL had prop
.r appreciation of the fact, that the great mo-
MED interests of the country are heartless and
selfish. when he used the following language
in the House. Jan. 18th -" This do know,
"that these merchant princes ana manufacture
ling princes of New England struck hands
with the free-trade interest in the last Con-
"gress, and Frustrated the industry of my
State. know that the faith of the manu-
featuring interest of New England, in rela-
"tion to the other industrial interests of the
country, as exhibited last winter, was Punic."
Yet in the face of this, the Chronicle wants
the interests of Pennsylvania linked with pro-
lection to the cotton and pins of New Eng
land. We do not while we rejoice in the
adoption of any measure which adds to the
prosperity Of any section of the Union, We are
desirous that the interests of Pennsylvania
shaii|b presentediR-their true light, as being
Of National Importance, and depending more

than any others, upon legislation for their
prosperity. Cotton and wool are not as " ma.
t;onal as coal and iron, because the manu-
facture and price of the former is governed by
SO many considerations, such as a failure Of
the staple, aud particularly the discovery of
new and Iahor-saving machinery, which ena-
bles our manufacturers to compete with the
world, because it makes small item in the
cost The production of iron, on the contrary,
requires heavy Investment, and its principal
value consists in the labor required in its manu-
facture. Skill aud mechanical ingenuity, are
of little avail in lessening its first cost. A
system by which the foreign manufacturer, in
times of depression abroad is allowed to throw
large quantities into our markets, at prices
not remnnerative, perhaps, to him, but ruinons
to our producers, is the evil we complain of,
and which we would have adjusted 1t is all
folly to expect cooperation from other inter
ests 1t cannot and should not be relied up
on. When those interests require or seek pro-
lection from foreign manufactured goods, they
may be ready to combine to procure high
introduction, free of duty of staples, they will
be just as ready to strike hands" with the
frec-trade interest. If Pennsylvania has not
already learned this fact she is stolid indeed.
She will be nearer the consummation of her
hopes when she recognizes and acknowledges
the truth that her interests are of National
Importance and as such should be presented
for the fostering care of Congress. ...

Eay- On the outside will be found some ex-
tracts from a speech recently delivered in the
House by Hon. JoHN HICKMAN, of this State
Mr. II. was an ardent supporter of Mr. BU-
CnANAN's election to the Presidency, claiming
(as we have no question sincerely that his ele
yation would secnre to the people of Kansas
the opportunity to form their own domestic in
stitutons according to the will Of the majori-
ty. Now he finds that he has been deceived,
and that popular sovereignty" only meant
the right to " form" slavery into the Const-
tuition
1t is refreshing in these days Of servility and
trucking on the part Of the Democracy to
read the manly earnest words uttered by Mr.
HIcKMAN. How strikingly his position is in
contrast with that of poor BIGLEB, who has
become execrated by every true man, and dis
pised Ivy those who use him as a tool

g6S- We make room, this week, for the
Presidents Lecompton Message, in view of the
absorbing interest now taken in the momen-
tons struggle against usurpation and fraud
We have not room, and hardly patience, to
speak of this abominable document as it de-
serves We ask our readers to peruse it care
fully that they may see to what lengths
President can go, who sets out TO uphold
fraud, and attempts to deprive the people of
their rights.

pa5- In Philadelphia, there has been bit
ter contest between the FoRNEY men and the
Lecomptonites, for the election of delegates to
the 4th of March Convention. The former
are for PORTER for Supreme Judge, and the
latter for SHARswooD. The delegates elected
are for PORTER. Resolutions were offered en-
dorsing Lecompton, and amidst indescrbable
confusion declared adopted. The Press de-
clares they were not passed. and do not repre-
sent the feelings Of the Democracy of the city
while the President of the Convention in
sists they were adopted.

R9- We cheerfulIy comply with the request
TO publish the proceedings Of a socaled, Dem
ocratic" Convention held somewhere iu this
place, last week. We should upon ordinary
occasions have permitted the occurrence to
pass without word of comment, but the omis
sion to enunciate any principles, Or express any
opinions upon the great questions now arrest
ing the attention of the country is so remark
able, that we cannot, at least, refrain from
expressing our surprise at the important aud
significant omission.
We have yet in the circle Of our acquaint-
ance amongst the Democracy to find the first
person who is willing to endorse the admins
tration measure of forcing upon the people Of
Kansas the Lecompton Constitution The
most of our Democratic friends, on the contra
ry, are loud in their professions of sympathy
with DoCGLAs in his endcavors to have the will
of the majority respected. Yet with all this,
the question has been lodged, unquestionably
for some ulterior purpose.
If the Democrats who pretend to be so
strongly opposed to the Lecompton swindle
are sincere in their desire that it SHALL not be
forced through Congress, why have they per-
mitted this Legitimate opportunity to pass with
out contributing to the cause they profess !?
Now, Of all other times, is the voice of Coun-
ty Convention potential for good or for evil, for
there are members of Congress, tempted by the
patronage of Government, heStating and de-
batting fearing to vote for Lccompton in awe
Of the maSscs-and watching for signs which
shall indicate that they may make the venture.
II there is a Democrat in the land who is
sincerely opposed to the perpetuation of the
great fraud and injustice now impending, it is
time now for him to speak out, on every oc-
casion when his voice can reach the halls of
Congress to control or influence Representa-
tives. The omission to do so, shows want of
sincerity and earnestneSs-a disposition to
truckle before the behestS Of party, or a timid-
ity which dares not speak out boldly, for fear
the measure may eventually be made test of
party fealty,
Perhaps the Democratic leaders of this Coun-
ty expect at Washington and Harrisburg to
support BUCHANAN, while here they are loud
in their professions of sympathy with DoUGGAs
and FoRNEY. This omission to express their
sentiments looks very much like it,
