ten CAMERON supporters ais sbou'H
exert themselves 10 Kill in the bud this
bold, bad scheme to iujure his own party
The taxpayers viii not relish an addition
Of over Three Millions to the State Debt
by the votes of our Legislature.
sg-Thc people would be acting oppor-
tunely aud safely by demonstrating against
this Bill, which has been kept as quiet as
possible by its managers. Our Press
should call attention to it, and warn the
people-of both parties-of their danger.
Let the Yeas and Nays be called on the
passage of the bill in every shape, that all
those who aid it may be known Of all men,
and its opponents may be likewise known
The suhjoined article from the Pailadel-
phia Press, Mr. FORNEY's paper, speaks
for itself, and will call up many profitable
reflections in the attentive reader, partic
ularly since it comes from a Democratic
source, and Can not be called "Federai
lie"
The President and the Reading Convention.
The approval of Mr.. Buchanans 5
Administration by the late State Con
vcntion is contained in single reso-
luton of six lines, and reads thus
"Resolved, That we regard the domes-
tie and foreign policy of President Bu-
chanan as en,jnent,y patrio'ic pure, co"scr-
ratire, and Just, aud look upon the success
which has crowned bis labors as the best
and proudest vindication of the proprle'y
and wisdom of his administration"
Now, as the Convention refers to
the SUCCESS that has crowned the
Presidents labors as the BEST vindi-
cation of his Administration, it may
not be amiSs to ask his friends to
point out to the people what the tri-
umphs Of his foreign and domestic
policy are, and the nature OF the la
bors alleged to have been crowned
with success. What master stro ke Of
foreign policy has he made? VIII
it he found in the doubtful position
the adopted citizens Of the United
States have been placed in Europe by
the letter OF his Secretary Of STATE?
Or was i; on the expedition to Para
quay? The practical result Of the
latter was the Falstaiis Jill, in which
he was charged with a monstrous
quantity Of sack" with very little
bread" With what other govern
mcnt has he been successful in set
Ting any difficulty or achieving any
benefit, unless something should turn
mp" from the treaty with China?
Nothing has been settled with NcXi-
20, with Great Britain, with Central
America that we have heard of. The
Jucrcz treaty is not yet ratified, and
Certainly no good Ic,ults have vet
Dccn obtained from it. What his
orcign policy may have been or is, Is
I!most unknown, 20 little Of it has
'ecn developed. In his domestic pol
cy-jf he has had any other than TO
,rcak down the Democratic party
We do not know where TO look for lis
ucccss. If this has been really his
,liect, he has truly been cmincntly
Uccc,,iul. Has he been sncccs-fuli IN
ringing Kansas into the Union and
iaicling the slavery issue? Has he i
,ccn successful in his life-cherishcd
ariif policy? True, he has bcenablc
o keep the Mormons in Utah tolcra
,ly quiet but at what cost to the
ountry the army expenses will tell.
And even now he is about to with ,
lraw the army, after an immense cX-
,cHditurc, with no conclusive or def
litc settlement of the Mormon qucS
ION. This withdrawal Of the army
ookS very much like an intention to
cave the Mormon troubles as a lcya-
Y 10 his successor. Has lie been sue
e>sful in starting or making a rail
Dad to the Pacific? In short, in
that measure Of foreign or domestic
Olicy have his labors been successful ?
We do not know whether the au- l
hor of the Reading resolution iEtcn- |
ed to bc ironical or not, but certain |
', if such was his intention, he could +
OF have framed more ingenious res
luton than the one quoted above. .
THE RESOLUTIONS Of the Democrat d
; Convention are Il strange medley c
Inconsistencies. They endorse Mr.. |
domestic and foreign pol
y, and also endorse its antipode,
ne policy Of Gov. Packer. They ap- :
rove Of u Tariff which will afford =
rejection, and re-cndorse the Gin
innati Platform which "congratu-
ties the country upon the great ad- t
anccs which are being made toward q
rec Trade" They deprccate the j
citation of the Slavery question in |
congress, and yet sustain and defend I
Ic legislation which repealed the !
iissouri Compromise, and which
ecks 10 open up all the Territories
, the aggrcSsions o. the Slave Pow a
:. They profess 10 stand up for the {
ltereSts of Free labor, while they de- u
radc and deJase themselves by stand t
~ out as the champion of the Slave I
ystcm. They affirm the principle Of c
'opular Sovereignty, and in the same -.
reath they rob the people OF their : =,
