dolphin Press takes the following "glance at
the field" in that State:
"Lecompton is at fearful discount in
Pennsylvania. 1t will not pay one dime on
the dollar. II is being rejected by all the
shrewd politicians, even endorsed as it is by
Congress. Ia noarly every Congression al
district in this State the Democrats are either
| trying to get rid Of the whole record TO barry
| il out Of sight--or else are bowling their Lee
| compton Representatives into private life
| In the Bucks and Lehigh districts Henry
| Chapman's denomination is demanded as es .
sential to the success Of the party, owing to
his independent resistance OF the Kansas poll
icy of majority Of Congress. In Chester
and Delaware, the champion Of popular SOW
ereignty, John Hickman, is admitted to be
the only Democrat that can be elected. In
Montgomery and part Of Philadelphia, Owen
Jones is pertinaciously begging for a nomi
nation, assistedby the United States Marshal
/ Of the Eastern District, who is most shame
fully prostituting his office to help this double
recreant into Congress for another term but
we hope that the Democrats of Montgomery
will reject this audaelous appeal. In Berks,
| CLANCY Jones is opposed by the very flower
of the Democracy, headed by the English or
| gan Of the party. Even in the Tenth Le-
| gion, Mr.. w. ii. Dimmick is not safe, though
backed by the recollections of an overwhelm-
ing majority. There is little hope for Paul
Leidy in the Luzerne district; little for Reilly
| in Franklin district, and none at allfor ellis
| Of tho Clarion, or Dewart Of the Sehuyl kill
district.
Behold the picture, gentlemen Lecompton-
ties. Ponder upon it. Act upon it /; and
remember that the only sensible action is to
withdraw your beaten horses from the track,
and to save their distance and their honor

PEasoNAL INFLUENCE. BLESSED inhuenc,
OF one true loving human soul on another
Not calculahle by algebra, nor deducible b,
logic, but mysterious, cffectual, mighty, n
the hidden process by which the tiny seed il
auickened, and bursts forth into tall, stern
and broad leaf, and glowing tasseled dover
Ideas are often poor ghosts; our sun-flet
eyes can not discern them; they pass athwar'

they touch US with soft, responsive hands
