been our earl y care, prior to the publica-

zee that no harm came to this principle,
and that 10 going into its discussion we

one word has ever appeared in this ques

of iDsiDcerity in the support of the right,
or Of yielding for moUeBt to the wrong.

our own shortcomings, and to remind US
of ten thousand promises. But repeated
warnings were neglected by the little lea

age to obtain possession of the CoDsen-

passed in favor of Leeouptpnism. The
Washington Union gloried ovor this en-

from Maine to Georgia held it forth as
an evidence that the Democratic party of

a Glance at the Field.
Lccomptou is at fearful disc cunt in
PeuD.ylrania. 1t will not pay one dime
10 the dollar. 1t is being rejected by all
the sbreved politicians, even endorsed as
it is by Congress. In nearly every Con-
gressional district in this State the Dem
ocrats are either trying to get rid Of the
whole record-to bury it out of sight-or
else are bowing their Lecompton Repre-
seutatives into private life. In the Berks
and Lehigh District Henry Chapman's
renomiBa ton is demanded as essep ptial to
the success of the party, owing to his in
dependent resistance of the Kansas policy
of majority of Congress. In Chester
and Delaware, the champion of popular
sovereignty, John Hickman, is admitted
10 be the only Democrat that can be elec-
ted. Iu Montgomery and part of phila-
delphja, Owen Jones is peItinaciouslv
begging for denomination, assisted by the
United States marshal of the Eastern dis
trict, who is most sbamefully prostitutipg
his office TO help this double recrcant into
Congress for another term; but We hope
that the Democrats of Montgomery will
reject this audacious appeal. In Berks
Clancy Jones is opposed by the very
flower of the Democracy, headed By the
English organ of the party. Even in the
Tenth Legion, Mr.. w. II. Dinmick is DOT
safe. though backed by the reccollectiop
Of an Overwhelming majority. We hope
10 see Col. A. g. Brodhead, or General
w. Lilly, of Carbon, or Mr.. Dreher, Of
Monroe, running against this faithless
representatives. There is little hope for
Paul Leidy in the Luzerue district; little
for Reilly in the Franklin district; little
for Ali in the Cumberland district, and
none at all for ellis of the Clarion, or
DeWart OF the Schuylkill district. Mont
gomery has made bis initial battle in the
West, having carried his nomination with
a rush. As to the Lecompton tIiuuvirate
from the city, if there is one out of the
three sent back, We shall be astonished.
Behold the picture, gentlemen LecoDp
tonitcS. Ponder upon it. Act upon it
and remember that the only sensible ac-
tion is to withdraw your beaten horses
from the track, and so save their distance
and taeir honor.
