WHAT IS GOING ON AT PHILADELPHIA.
Cs1re,prdesce Of The N. T. TIibune.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 49, l5J9.
Ifsv very moderate amount of good sense be prac-
ticed by the Opposition to the present Administration
its triumph in the next Presidential election is GER
tain. Harmony, and concession to effect harmony,
lie, however, demanded among the several branches
Of that Opposition No one section or interest or
division Of that Opposition can, however, succeed
by its own strength. 1t is only BY union of the
different fragments, to effect the leading aud prl-
mary object of all that such object Will be achieved.
If the best efforts Of the leading Opposition papers
Of all parties, Of the best men Of all parties, who
unite in condemnation Of the course Of perfdy, i'm
becility, corruption and degraded partisan courses,
and proHiga.e extravaganza of the powers that be,
are exerted to GUST them and TO prevent SUCCESSORS
being elected who will follow in their footsteps,
there will be little difficulty, and the 18th Of March,
1861 will witness the inauguration of some states
man of acknowledged patriotism and ability, who
will redeem the country from the mi.rule Of those
who got the control of Mr.. Buchanan ere he had
recovered from the National Hotel disease and
who have managed to retain it since, TO his dis
grace, ard to the detrment Of the country.
Pennsylvania and New.Jersey are, by all we'll
informed politicians of all parties, regarded as the
decisive batte-felds in the approaching contest.
1t is probable that the votes Of these two States
will decide the election In both of these States,
Mr.. Buchanan and his supporters are in decided
minority. They are even in minority in what
was the Democratic party. Hence the prudent
decDatiOn of Mr.. Buchanan, announced last July
at Bedford. So strong is the Opposition among the
Democracy that no candidate of that party sus-
pected of the faint of being in any degree connected
with Mr.. Buchanan or those who surround him has
the slightest chance, even if nominated at Charles
ton, of receiving the entire Democratic vote OF
either of the States named. great deal OF the
popularity Of Judge Douglas in those States was
superinduced by the belief that he was irrecon-
cilaby hostile to those now in power, and his late
trimming advice in his speech at Pittsburgh for the
Pennsyyanians TO vote for the nominees OF the
Federal Administration at the State election
next month has damaged hun not a little because
of the indication it gave of his willingness to make
terms with the Administration if he can obtain lite
support or partial REIMBURSEMENT OF its hostility
.1n,,A tnIIx, OF htS f,ttan
the strongest Opposition candidate for the Presl-
dency in Pennsy lvania and in New.Jersey. His
nomination would certainly secure both these
States How ne would run III other Opposition
States, have limited means of judging. New
York doubtless prefers Gov. Seward; ONO, Gov.
Chase; Tennessee, Senator Bell; Massachusetts,,
Gov. Banks; Missouri, Mr.. Bates; and Virginia
Mr.. Bolts. This enumeration comprises all the
names that / have heard mentioned outside OF the
Democratic party, as probable candidates for the
Chief Magistracy. My own Judgment is, though
many differ with me, that any one of them would
probably carry both Penney lvana and New-Jersey
and particularly if the Democracy make an inju-
dicious nomination at Charleston, but it will only
be by the most vigorous exertions of united OPP
position. An index of the majority Gen. Cameron
would receive will be found in that given next
month against the Administration State ticket,
which will not be less than tneatytor thousand
rotes All the State ex.ofhcers Except Gov.
Packer, and he is not welded to Mr.. Buchanan,
but detests him) and both branches of the State
Legislature will, for the first time in many years,
be In the hands of the opposition to the Federal
Administration. So is it in New-Jersey. Gov.
Wright is running as an Administration candidate,
upon an anti Administration platform, which he is
forced to stand upon against his wishes. The vote
of West Jersey will defeat him, and whether
third candidate is placed in the field or not, Mr..
Olden will beat both by majority Of at least four
thousand votes.
You have no conception Of the utter demoralza-
ton of the Administration Democracy and its hope
less condition in these States, unless it is restored
by the folly of the Opposition. The hostility be-
tween the different rival clques or divisions OF the
old Democratic party is fierce, bitter and uncom-
promising. The Federal Administration may per-
haps, number fourth of the old Democracy who
fused with a few Old-ne Conservative Wings
cOncilated by the appointment of MIR. Reed and
Mr.. Chandler to missions, and MIR. Boon to
Judgesbp and others, also old Wings, who still adj
here to the President But it is an extraordinary
fact that his body eusrd of Office holders, while
they render him Up serrioe, secretly express their
disgust with the way he conducts the public affairs
and with him and bis Cabinet personally. Mr..
GEORGE n. DALLAS is, perhaps, the strongest
Democrat in the two States named, though his anti
tariff principles exemplifed by his casting vote in
favor of the Free-trade Tariff of 1916, is a great
drawback to his prospects. No candidate Of any
party can tIpeet the rote Of either Pennsylrania or
Nsn-Jtrsty, who is not explicitly committed IN Gne-
guirOcai terms TO Increasing the duties on imported
iron 10 a standard that uH afford protection TO the
no,c anguishing iron interests in these States. This
you may rely upon. AND on THIS POINT ALL THE
CANDIDATES HAVE YET TO ANSWER THE PEOPLE
OF PENNSYLVANIA AND New JERSEY UPoN
