THE CANVASS IN PENNSYL FANT4.

Correspondence Of The N. Y. Tribune
READING Berks Co., Pa, Sept %, 1853.
Little has been said outside Of Pennsylvania, and
still less ia known, Of the troubles in the camp OF
the Democracy. This State never knew such
contest as ia now being wsged against James Bu-
chanan and the Lecompton Congressman from
Pennsylvania. In Berks County, particularly, is
the struggle warm and animated. The unanimous
nomination of j. Clancy Jones at the Delegate
Convention was, as is well known here procured
BY false pretensons and bribery. From the days
of Thomas Jefferson this county has voted for any
body who bore the name of Democrat. The people
of this county, chiefly Of German extraction, like
their ancestors who fed from German tyranny and
aristocracy, naturally took up the name OF Democ-
racy, opposed not so much To the other parties OF
this country as to the anti-Democratic principles
under which they lived and were crushed III the
land of their fathers.
For the last seven years, Clancy Jones has been
in Congress from this District; but the time OF
trial s come. A more determined opposition, and
more vigisnt, Clancy Jones never encountered,
nor did he few weeks ago imagine that the Demo
Gratis of the county wOud greet hun go coldy.
He is now engaged st,lmping the county, speak
ING twice day: but his efforts thus far have
daunted his spirit, and have proved that his fate
is sealed The Anti-Lecompton and Anti-Jones
Democrats at whose head for Congress is MAYOR
John Schwartz are also stumplng the county
canyassng the same route, and sometimes at the
same time and place. with Jones's party Each
wing claim TO be the true Democracy. The Re-
pubhcaus have nominated separate candidate
| but have agreed to vote for Major Schwartz, who
| they saw though Democrat, is a good enough
| Free.So and Tariff man for them This they did
IN render certain the defeat of }. Clancy Jones'
! who is now making his last desperate attempt TO
| wLeedle the honest Democrats into his support
| The Republicans are sure against hini-he knows
| tbat: and, besides his Democratic opponents are
making more progress in their canvass Of the
country-they hold larger meetings, and the feel
ing against his duplcg and treschery was never
| so strong End earnest.
His defeat therefore is certain: certain as the
defeat of Dewart, the Lecomptonlte from Schu!l
kill. There is not & Congressional district IN
| the State whose Democracy is not hopefully dis
! organized. Under these circumstances who can
| doubt the result Our next Congressman viii be
! Republicans or Douglas Democrats, except, per-
| haps Florence of Philadelphia, whose election may
be secured by the extensive public patronage which
| he commands. But who has brought this unlocked
for revolution in Pennsylvania No men in Penn
sylyans have done more to this end than Col. For
| ney whose Press has worked miracle in Dem
! ocratic sentiment in this state. Major George VI.
| Lauman also stands prominent among the AntlLe
| compton Democrats of the State. He i the right
! hand man of Gov. Packer whose feelings in re-
| gard tO the mismanagement Oi the Buchanan Gov
ernment he fully shares.
But few weeks more (Oct 12) VIII determine
! the thunder of Pennsylvania, when you viii off
