PENNSYLVANIA.

Inc election IN IcnnsYiVHnld taxes place w.
day There is a great deal of excitement, drum
beating and shouting, and many local issues
that create more than usual electioneerng in
terests in portions of the State. Philadelphia is
defeat Senator who has bad name. The
Senator has the regular nomination, and as the
choice enters into the next Senatorial contest,
for a successor to Mr.. Cowan, more than usual
efforts are being made to secure the election of
the Democratic incumbent. II this result should
ensue, the blame must be laid to the door Oh
those Republicans who insisted upon weakening
their ticket by too intense devotion to organl-
zaton Organization is good thing but when
it means that the rowdies of conventions and
precinct elections shall force candidates upon
the people, it becomes an abuse, and We ask no
healthier sign of party honesty than the rebel
lion that now agitates the Union party in Phila-
delphia
Our friends throughout that State are working
with vgor. While many of them feel provoked
at the unnecessary essay of Mr.. Cessna, they
all see that while they are divided in favor of
manhood suffrage, their enemies are united
against il. This itself is a bond of strength sut-
/ ficient to prevent Mr.. Reed and his Copperhead
friends from gaining power. We know of no
Copperhead more malignant than the Pennsyl-
vania species. He bites sharply, and leaves the
poison behind. He wanted to 20 South very
badly when the war began, and fancied he could
take the State with him; but the State
remained, and too cowardly to cross
the border and fight, the Copperhead
4 remained behind TO hiss and bite. THIS
II is type of the class that to-day strives
for powor-a class which Mr.. Haskin aptly but
rreyerently denomnated the Jerry Black
/ Duchanansm Of Pennsylvania" Jerry Blacks
aforementioned words We're his famous coun
| sels 70 Mr.. Buchanan against the coercion OF
the South. When the deluge came, hc
! quietly huddlcd into cosy place under
Taney, and remained quiet, with the
exception of an occasional croak from
the balcony Of Pennsylvania village
tavern. The fact that such a man should be
taken from his Information to lead the party
that now claims TO be the exclusive keeper o.
President johnson, shows how hopelessly faint
ed Pennsylvania Democracy has come tC
| be. The men who ruled in other days
the IIickmans, Kellcys, Forneys, aud Wilmots
who sat at the feet Of William Leggctt, and
accepted Slavery in It's true sense, when il
finally became al issue, are now warmly on the
side of Rcpubicanism. The alembic of wal
threw ont the few grams of gold that remained
and all now left TO Pennsylvania is dross and
ashes. At the head of the Democratic column
one or two soldiers, as brave as Col. Davis art
riding. A we warned our friends before, such
men as Col. Davis are merely dressed up in
Union clothes, after the manner of the felicitous
Col. Mosby, who made his advance guard
wear Union cloaks until they passed our picket
lines.
Slow and sure Pennsylvana---withh her wealth.
her great resources, her mountains full OF iron,
the oil bursting from her deep cayernS; glorious,
good patriotic Pennsylvania with her great
city Union to the core, and by majority, when
fully brought out, Of 10,0O0-is too noble 10
be quietly surrendered TO Jerry Black and his
outriders in blue, who steal ahead and cry
Union" Ifher Republicanism is not as far
advanced as Massachusetts or Minnesota. We
are patient. Some must lead. When the head
of Grants column touched Richmond, the main
guard seemed to be far away, but it really was in
supporting distance. Pennsylvania hesitated
about Fremont; the issue was not clear enough
] to her thoughtful, lOng-pondering mind.
