Mr. Buchanan--Trip through Pennsylvania.
The President and most of his Cabinet are re-
eruiting outside of Washington, Mr. Buchanan
at Bedford Springs, where he has been in the
habit of spending part of every summer for a
number of years. In reaching the Springs
from Washington he took a secluded route
through Maryland to Pennsylvania, avoiding
the central road Of Keystone travel. The Phil
adelphia Bulletin praises the healing virtues of
the waters of Bedford, and trusts that the Pres
dent will find himself able when he leaves the
the Springs to mingle with the people and OBJ
serve something of the tone and tenor Of public
sentiment With Quaker quietness it remarks;
When the President quits Bedford Springs
to return TO Washington, we hope be will come
eastward by way of the Pennsylvania Railroad
"a work which he, as Pennsylvania, might
be supposed TO take some little interest in,
though we are not aware that he has ever tTav-
eIed over mile of 1t west # Harrisburg. By
taking this road, he will pass along the Juniata
and portion of the Susquehanna, and he may
feast his eyes on the spectacle of scores great
iron-works, out Of blast and idle, thanks 10 the
beautiful system Of the party Of which he is the
pride and leader Coming further East, he will
find, at Harrisburg, Lancaster and Philadelphia,
great cotton mills shut up and idle. Should he
90 to the coal region, which is also worthy of a
visit from Pennsylvania President, he may
find mines idle and canal and railroads scarcely
doing any business. He may meet Thousands
of workmen who have been discharged from fur
naees, forges, rolling mills, cotton mills, work
shops, and industrial establishments of all kinds
He may see numberless women and children in
poverty and wretchedness, owing TO the failure
of their husbands and fathers to get work. He
may interchange opinions with practical men of
his own State in regard to the wisdom of the
policy he and his party have pursued in regard
TO protection to American industry; and new
ideas, enforced and illustrated by the pictures
we have referred to. may thus be instilled into
the head of the nation.
