Pennsylvania Democracy.


The arproseb of a Presidential Elec
ton is almost uniformly sisDaiized by a
new c1pcriu. EFT On popular creduility by
the De- IL ocratic leaders in Pennsylvania.
Now it i cry Of Polk, Dallas, and the
Tariff Of '42;" now "Bucbauan and Free
Ksnsa>: or whatever else may seem to
serve the purpose of the hour. One year,
leading Democratic Member Of Congress
fraDks home reams of prOspectuses of the
Democratic organ at Washington, sup
pressing so much thereof ss declares the
party inexorably hostile to Protection;
then Mr.. Ffsncis w Hughes (who is now
going delegate to Cbarleston) holds a
debate Nth leading Wing, wherein he
crsvely maintains the proposition that
Polk is better Proteetioni=t than Clay!
In short, to swim lie is the most available
accomplishm ent, the inevitable necessity,
of Democratic wire yorker in PenDsYl-
,snia-the means sbereby be ashieVes

We had DO right to be surprised, there

other great staples of The country, based
on the necessities of a reasonable reEenue
sy.sem for the General Government; and
that We approve of the views Of President
Buchanan ou the subject Of Specific Du-
ties, and desire our Representatives iu
Congress to procure such notifications Of
of the law as tue unscise legislation Of tt1

That the Republicans had not major

a@rThe idea, so sedulously dissemina
ted iu the democratic journals, that the
trade of the South with the North has
recently fallen of. 10 consequence Of the
prevalence of Republican principles in the
latter section of the Union, is entirely un-
touneed in fact. All the New York pa
pers concur in the statement that the nun
Der of southern traders now purchasing
goods in the commercial metropolis is
greater than usual. All the Steamboat,
Railroad aud Express Companies are full
of business. They go regularly and stea-
dy with full rgoes--great quantities OF
goods being frequently compelled to a
wait new opportunities for transportation,
and none Of them have suffered any
decrease 8hate7er.

Berthe State Convention Of the Dem
ocratic party of Pennsylvania, at Read lng,
last week. nominatrp Henry D. Foster OF
Westmoreland county for Go9ernor Of
that State, though hs had few or no votes
Oh the first ballot.
The nomination OF Mr.. Foster, at the
frst blush, looks as though Mr.. Buchanan
had lost bis influence in Pennsylvania
But the truth is, the matter was brought
about by the President himself. After
promising to Mr. Witte, of Philadelphia.
the influence of the Administration in Sc
curing for him the nomination for Go'er-
nor, the President abandoned him when
the pinch came, and aided to get the
nomination for Foster, man who has
not teeu personally identified with bis
views. We shall be greatly disapp pointed
if Mr.. Foster gains anything by the friend
ship which Mr.. Buchanan has suddenly
and so ubsccountably ub manifested for him.
A Harrisburg correspondent of the
Philadelphia Despatch, attributes Mr. Bu-
chanan's intriguing for Foster, to desire
to make sure of the main bulk of the Del
epates to Charleston. This be accom-
pli-hed. Of the Senatorial Delcga ates ap-
pointed by the Convention to represent
the State in tie national conclave at
Charleston, tbree--Mcssrs. Bigler. Baker
and Dawson--are followers of Lecomp-
tonism, pure and simple; while Montgom-
err, the fourth, is claimed as a friend of
Senator Douglas Of the district dele
gates all but three or four are known as
fast friends of the Administration in ese-
rything it may require at their hands.
Iu the platform adopted by the Penn
sylvanis Democratic Convention. an at
tempt is made to reconcile all tn, warring
factions by giving each distinctive plank;
and as consequence the structure is one
of the most anomalous that any political
body ever put together. The admins
tratiye policy of James Buchanan, and
the squatter sovereignty doctrines of Sen
ator Douglas, are the antipodes of each
ether; yet both were endorsed and sp-
proved with apparent heartiness. The
managers of the Convention, in their ca
gerEess to gain votes from all sorts of
men and factions, have sacrificed all self
respect and consistency, and will lose, We
think, rather than gain, by their facile
psndcring to the views of all the diverse
cliques, coteries, clans and cabals, which
happen to have under their command a
few platoous of voters.
