THs PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRACY AND TN
PREsipENr.--lt will bc remembered that the
late Coppcrhcad Convention Of Pennsylvania,
after nominating Mr.. Clymcr for Governor.
passed u resolution indorsing tho President s
policy. A subcommittee was appointed to
come on here and present the resolution in per-
son. This grateful mission was essayed n few
evenings since. Tho committee wero admitted
to an audience with the President, and were
proceeding, after tho most approved fashion. to
assure him that the Democracy oi Pennsylra-
mia had designed no empty compliment that
they had watched his recent action with no or.
binary qualification; and that they should
stand by him and his administration 50 long as
he 80 nobly adhered to the sacred Constitution.
Before the pcroration WAS reached, the Pres
idcnt broke in upon them with the suggestion
that "thc wiscst thing they could do was to 60
home and change their ticket" lie believed
that they had made fatal mistake in nomin.
ating such man, especially at this particular
time. and made other remarks OF similarly
encouraging character. The last eeen OF the
pennsylvunis committeeman they were making
for the Baltimore depot, in Iearfully dcmor-
allied frame ol mind Washington cor. ".
