Our Answer.
We find the following in yesterday

We find the following in yesterdays
Gazette
"Does the Democrat really believe
what it says, that the contest at the
next Presidential election between the
principles maintained by Seward, !. e.
isfi"ca by TIL! Democracy twill decide
whether the Union is to remain one and
inseparable, or whether this Republic is
to follow in the wake of those which
have preceded it!" In other words,
does it really believe what it In sub
stance says, that if the Republican
party is successful the Union will be dis
solved! We should like to know wheth-
er our contemporary IS in earnest in the
avowal of this belicf-an opinion which
we thought was sustained only by those
who originated it, the Democratic Dis
unionists of tie south"
In answer to the foregoing, we have
no hesitsncy in avcrring it as orr be-
lief that the election of Republican
candidate to the Presidency wonld be
promotive of disunion. This view of
cause and effect is not original with our
self. 1t was entertained by such patriots IS
Washington, Jackson, Clay and Webster.
They looked to the triumph ofsectional-
ism as the forerunncr of a scvering Of the
free from the slave states. If Rcpubli-
canism is not sectionalism, then white is
black, and falschood truth. The effort to
make it appear that the Republican party
is national party, would be as futile as
the attempt to prove that the devil is q
saint.

A PETTIFoGGER's DODGE. = Elisha
Williams, formerly OF Columbia county,
N. T., was somewhat noted for his slo-
qucnce and power Of moving jury
On one occasion he made plea which
produced marked effect, both upon the
jury and upon the Court. His legal op-
poncnt was mere pottifogger, but
shrcwd, and as it so happened on the
occasion, succeeded in laying out the
eminent counsellor. When Mr.. Viii.
lisms had closed his appeal, the pcttilog-
ger arose and replied as follows:
"Gcntlcmcn of the Jury and yLur
Honors-I should despair of the tri-
umph Of my client in his case, after the
eloquent appeal Of the learned counsel.
but Tor the fact that common law is
common sense. No man could like bet

PrCnla ture.

We notice in some of our exchanges,
that some mistake the action of Demo-
cratic Conventions in the City of Phila-
delpha, in the selection Of delegates to
the State Convention, for the action OF
the State Convention itself. Last week
the Democracy of Philadelphia selected
twenty-one delegates as representatives
semble at Harrisburg on the 4th day Of
March next, unless convened at an ear
lier day blythe Democratic State Gems
trail Committee. We hear contradictory
statements in reference to the procGvities
of the delegates selected, as regards the
aspirants for the Presidency, but it must
be born in mind that the Pennsylvania
State Convention will be composed of
one hundred and thirty three delee ates,
and that Philadelphia is not Pennsyl-
vania, the opinion Of many Of the good
citizens of that city to the contrary not
outstanding. Pennsylvania will be a
unit in the Charleston Convention, as
the Democracy will be unit at the
Presidential election. We predict that
Pennsylvania will vote in convention
(prior to voting on the usual motion to
make the nomination unanimous) for
the nominee of that Convention, and that
she will cast her electoral vote for that
nominee. Who wants hat!

NApoLEoN's INVASION OF IRELAND
John Mitchell, who is now in Paris, has
commenced series of letters in Dublin
paper, called the Lishman, (similar in
its politics and designs to The Nation, !
in which his object is to suggest to the
Irish peasantry that France will soon be at
war with England in the Mediterranean,
and that the opportunity will then have
arrived for inducing the Emperor Ma.
polcon to invade Ireland. "But,r ex-
claims Mr.. Mitchell, "who will make
the Emperor sure that the Irish pd ople
wait tor him, and pray for him ? How
is he to know that 100000 fighting men
would be found to follow his eagles from
Bantry Bay to Dublin, and from thence,
If he chose it, across to Liverpool How.
above all, are the people-the people OF
all classes and creeds-to be brought to
look steadily toward this as an event not
only possible but probable, and which
may to each OF them bring JOY or sorrow.
