risburgh, the Capital of the State, to Read

a Railroad directly to New York. Travel
ers taking this route will travel over tho
best built road in the country. The scene
~ is very fine. The cities and villages
along the route present the appearance of
Western towns in the progress they are
making.
Politics here in the interior of the Key
Stone State, are somewhat exciting Tie
people in this region are extensively engag-
ed in the iron and coal business, and,
as matter of consequence all, classes
are interested in their prosperity. The farm
err, merchant, mechanic, manufacturer miner,
and labOring man are all equally inter-
ested, and as the prosperity of the Iron
| Works of our country depends much on the
protection extended them by the laws of the
land, and as one party have always favored
the passage of such laws as would not only
give revenue for the support of Govern
ment, but at the same time protect the man
ufacturing interests of the country, it is but
natural that they should feel interested in
the success of that party, that would favor
such laws. Hence the first question asked
in meeting with friend is, How goes thu
election? Will Lincoln carry Indiana p
The prospects for the success of the Repub-
lican party in this State are certainly very
fattering. l find many changes here, l
have met with persons in this country who
were formerly the most uncompromising
Democrats, who intend to vote at the COM
ing election for the Rail Splitter as they
call him. They (the people, say that they
cannot support party who, while they
could not agree in regard to other things,
could readily sgree IN the policy of Free
Trade. We therefore end both Democratic
factions or conventions passing the follow
ing resolutions
"ResoLUsd, That there are question soon
neeted with the foreign policy of this coun-
try which are inferior to no domestic ques-
ton whatever. The time has come for the
people of the United States to declare them
selves in favor of free seas and of progressive
Free Trade throughout the world, and by
solemn manifestations, to place their usual
influence by the side of these successful ex-
smples."
This is certainly very plain, and every vo-
ter who votes for Douglas or Breckenridge
votes with his eyes open for Free Trade.
I do not believe that any portion of
this great confederacy are willing or ready
to support European manufactures, farmers,
mechanics and laboring men, in preference
to our own and in supporting either Doug
las or Breckenridge they are doing so. They
will, therefore, give their votes at the No
vember election for Abraham Lincoln, who
is the only Tariff candidate before the peo-
pie for the Presidency. He is a life sdvo-
cate of Protection to Americdn Industry, and
the Convention which nominated him
placed him squarely on this resolution,
! % That while providing revenue for the sup
! port of the General Govern ment, by duties
! upon imports, sound policy requires such an
adjustment OF these Imports as to encourage
the industrial Interests Of the sohOIe country"
This is the true american doctrine, and for
which every real friend of his country will
give his vote. He will be willing to throw
aside personal preferences and party preju-
! dices and give his influence and his vote for
that party for which there is probability
of success, and that is pledged if successful to
administer the Government with economy
and for the best interests of the whole Ma
ton.
While regard John Bell as equally as
good Tariff man, and as worthy in that
respect as Lincoln, still, in voting for
him, especially in the Northern States, you
really vote tor 10. Lane, inasmuch as there
is no possibility of his carrying any North
ern States, and but few South. Let there
fore, all those who are opposed to Demo-
cratic principles, and desire the success OF
conservative Union principles, vote for Hon
est Abe Lincoln as the only really National
! CANDIDATE. - es i. p

to the result in Pennsylvania. / really do
| not believe that there would be any doubt
in the event of d fusion. And now, as the
! efforts made to fuse both wings of the dem
ocracy have utterly failed, the State is GER
tain for Lincoln by from 10000 to 10000
majority. This fact alone will make thous-
auds OF votes in the Western States for the
