PENNSYLVANIA AND GENERAL CAMERoS.-The
Harrisburg (Pa.) Telegraph replies in very spir-
tied manner TO the statement of correspondent
of the New York Tribune that Pennsylyaaia is
not for Gen. Cameron. That State, the Tele-
graph says, ''has designated her representatives
to convey that report to Chieago-her Wihnots,
her Thad Stcvenses, her Reeders, her Puryiar-
ces, her Palmers, her Cofeys, her Buffers and
Lowries, with hundred others equally arm and
determined in the support OF Gen. Cameron, as
the free and unbiased choice of more than nine.
tenths OF the Opposition party OF the State"--
The same paper asserts that Cameron is twenty
thousand votes stronger in the State than an !,
other living man."
In this connection we have just word to say
to our Republican friends in PENNSYLVANIA, trust
ing they will not consider our suggestions obtru-
siye. We have very distinctly recognised the
propriety of frank aud decided declaration, on
the part Of the Pennsylvania delegations ut Chi
cago, as to the choice OF the people ofthat State
and (what should mean the same thng) as to the
candidate most certain to secure its electoral
We trust such an expression will be given in
good faith, on careful survey of the whole field,
and without any merely personal or local bias -
II Gen. Cameron is named as that man, By dele
gates Of such character AZ those specified above,
and If the entire vote Of Pennsylvania is persist
emily east at Chicago in accordance with this in
dication, he will be one Of the most formidable
competitors for the nomination II, on the 9TH
er hand II should appear that this representation
is only '.diplolnatic' in its character, and that
Gen. Cameron is talked Of only for the purpose
Of aiding the nomination Of another person, the
keystone delegation IS very likely to have much
less influence in controlling the nomination than
il would be otherwise entitled 70. In brief. III

the following story of a bet growing out Of the
Chicago election, which is good enough to be
true:- 4
The bet was between Water street merchant
and Ned Osborne Of the fremont HOnse the
largest cigar and tobacco dealer in the city, and
was to the effect that if Wentworth was elected,
Osborne should have the privilege of kicking the
Water street merchant aforesaid from the Ire
mont House to Springer street. The day after
the election, the merchant having lost, came to
Osborne's store, and presented his person to him
for the contemplated kicks and demanded that
Osborne should take the stakes Osobrne had
been training his right leg all the previous day,
aud had armed his foot with heavy cowhide
boot, with sole as thick as two clapboards.-
The merchant started up by the fremont Os

drew back his foot with spasnodic action and
paroxysm of countenance absolutely pitful. He
tried another enc, but the loser hinched not, but

live on the passage ofthat measure A geaeTal
rule, on the other hand, the Anti Douglas Demo
Gratis Of the House, and the Southern Democracy
IL papticular, voted in vavor Of suppressing shs
Utah aeominaticn. To say that the Nosshcrn
Democrats who manifest such desire 70 sustain
polygany in the Territories have, BY their eh-
sequious Submission to slaveholding interests,
contrary to all their instincts Of right and duty,
become at length 50 perverted IN their moral
sense, and so lost to selfcspectssas not to feel
the Disgrace Of the position In which they
have thus placed themselves, Il, perhaps to cen
sure them more severely than they deserve. They,
or AZ least their friends for them, do manifest
little shame on the subject They have excuses
to offer for conduct 30 palpably At war with the
requirements Of their position and with the die
tates ofdecency. They had become prematurcly
committed to the foolish assumption belied by
the acts Of almost every Congress, under every
President, from first to last-that Congress could
properly exercise no legislative authority over
the Territories, and particularly on slavcry.-
ceiye an indirect but highly damaging blow, they
voted to sustain the rights" Of polygamv also.
The Enquirer states this view Of the case very
plainly, IN these words:
"Wc are astonishcd to see that many Demo-
Gratis voted in favor Of congressional interview
ton in the local aflirs in Utah Territory and in
favor ola bill abolishing polygamy there. Nots-
ing Is clearer Aaa tiat if Congress can pro1ta poly
gaasy IL Territory, IL Ads The same po,rer oter
slavery. Their votes sanction principle that Is
equivalent to Wilmot Proviso When they
vote for Congressional Intervention against pO-
lygamy, they cannot complain if the same remedy
is invoked against their institution. There %
no safety for the South, except in strict adhe-
rsnce to the doctrine Of Congressional noninter-
vention with tie local affairs Of the people Of the
Territories. When they let go that doctrine, tue
Wilmot Proviso will be upon them"
As to the effect Of this vote, and its establish
nent of a precedent fully sustaining the Rebuilt
can doctrine in regard to Slavery in the Terri
tories, we essentially agree with our contempora-
nv. Mr.. E,hcridge, (Southern Opposition,) Of
Tennessee, who voted for the bill, clearly stated
to the House beforehand, that these logical con-
sequences, alluded to by the Enquirer clearly fol-
low from the Endorsement of this measure
When Southern men, actual shareholders, take
this ground, and yet obey the dictates of common
decency, though apparently conflicting with
strong sectional and partisan interest, Northern
men ought to hang their heads in shame, when
they have to confess that their decent impulses
are oycrruled bv their devotion to Slaycry.-Cin-
cinnati Gazette.

TIE Responsibility FixED.-The question:
which Of the two parties from the South will be
responsible If the Black Republican II elected
Speaker, has at length been settled beyond further
earil. The South Americans have obtained for
their candidate enough conservative votes 10 have
elected him if the National or Administration
Democracy had voted for him, and this without
the AID OF single Douglas Democratic vote. On
the 9TH bailoting Mr.. Gilmer, Southern man and
one Of the largest shareholders in toe House, OBJ

Ders: with the 20 votes cast on that balloting
for Bocock.h would have had l22, or 8 more than
enough to elect. But the Democracy would not
give up party for the sake of defeating Black
Republican.
On the other hand, the Democracy have never
yet cast for Mr.. Bocock. their caucus nominee,
votes enough to elect him, with the entire South
ern Opposition support. They have never yet
rallied thoir own entire party, either North
or South. for Bocock. Boosting 10l members of
