AT VARIANCE

OeuhtOTs cameron ano blBier appear 10 pe
siDgularly at variance in their views Of Penn
sylvania interests and policy 1t is not often
that the Sepators Of any one State maintain
such conflicting notions upon great sectional
issues, and particularly upon questions affect
ing the local interests Of those they represent
Upon mere political issues il is no uncommon
thing to find them adversely arrayed but
VIXEN matters pertaing to their own immediate
State are involved, they usually been found
unit both in action and thought. 1t is tho
misfortune Of Pennsylvania to have Senators
who not only differ politically, but whose
ideas are equally variant as to the interests
OF her poupie. Tn Wednesday last, the Sen
ate had up for the consideration the subject
Of the withdrawal Of the fishing bounties, and
the release Of the duty on salt. Bigler, with
his usual temerity, declared himself in favor
oil the former proposition, and opposed to the
latter. This brought down on him the cut
ting sarcasm Of MIR. Seward, from which he
did not escape without scathing. after

and was perfectly satisfied with it. The re-
suit has been to break up every iron master
in Pennsylvania who had not an immense

1t may be the policy Of my colleague, and
it may, perhaps be wise one to break down
all these interests so that after u while we
