The foregoing ill-tempercd and bitterly
partisan paragraph is taken from that in
tcEsely radical sheet, the Pittsburgh Dis
j5atch. We do not believe that there Is an
other republican paper in the State with
any prctenSions TO respectahility that would
degrade its columns by the utterance of
sentiments so illiberal and uncalled for.
We had supposed that the presence OF such
a man as CHARLES r. BUCKALEw in the
Convention would have met with the cor
dial approval Of the members Of both poiit-
ical parties in the State.
What possible reason can the Dispatch
give for its sweeping declaration that his
Mr.. BUCEALEw s. presence III the Conven-
tion ''w;n be obnoxious to The public" {?
That is libel on CHARLES r. RUCKALEw
which viii not be endorsed by the people
Of Pennsylvania. Is not Mr.. BUCKALEw
a man of acknowledged ability? Is he not
honest ana pure? Let his whole public
career answer.
During the canvass for Governor last
summer the radical press, with but few ex-
ceptions, treated Mr.. BUCEkLEw with
marked courtesy and respect. He was
strongly and indeed violently opposed on
account Of his political opinions, but his
purity Of character and his personal integ-
rity were never assailed.
There IS, it seems to us, p peculiar pro
pTiety in Mr.. BUCKALEw entering the Con
yention as one of its members During
the last session Of the Senate lie was the
steadfast and able advocate Of the bill pro
yiding for the call of the Convention, and
it is not going too far to say that no man
ception of What the people demand at its
hands than Nr. BUCKALEw. He will bring
culture, industry and Il thorough knowledge
Of true and substantial reform TO aid and
assist tho Convention in perfecting the
great work upon which has entered. In
stead, therefore, Of the irrascible Dispatch
attempting to sneer at and underrate CnAs
I
which he has entered, it would be much
more in harmony with tie political fitness
of things if it would re-echo the general
expression of pleasure and satisfaction man
ifested by the press Of the State over Mr.
BUcKALEw becoming a member Of the Con
vention-a position for which he is pecu-
lIarly qualified and in which he will fully
sustain his well earned reputation.

The Congressional elections were niseT
ably managed in some of tie States at the
late contest by the Democracy, and espe-
cially so i'll Tennessee. 1t gave GREELEY 4
handsome n2ajority.re elected Brown Gov
error and returned majority of Democrats
70 the Legislature. Instead, however, OF
carrying seEeT out of the ten Congressman.
rs they could have done, they Only elected
rhroe. This result is mainly due TO the
suic dial course pursued by Ex-Presidont
ANDREW JOHNsoN. The State was en-
5itled - elect one ;Congressmen at large.
The Democratic candidate was Gen. CHEA-
TEAM and the Radical candidate HORACE
MAvSABD. Single handed CHEATHAM
would have been elected easily but JoHN-
sos vainly boasting that he was invincible
n his native heath, took the field rs an
4 dercnd, MT candidate, thus dividing the
Democratic vote, thereby elscting May
uard. defeating Cheatham, and lie himself
(IohnsonJ coming out of the race the hind
most of the three. rs he richly deserved.
In several of the districts his over-zealous
friends did the same thing, supposirg that
his presumed popularity would make their
calling and election sure. But Of course
they suffered Andy own fate ard were
defeated. Thus we're fee Congrcssmcn
lost through the egregious folly and Oh
stinacy of one man.

1-S-S0RE

Ar the very outset Of the proceedings Of
the Constitutional Convention, those two
omi1ent statesmen. HARRY WHITE and
WAYNE MoNEIoF, the latter Z son-in-law
Of SIMON CAMERON. set themselves up as
self-constituted leaders Of the Republican
majority in that body which contains some
"f the ablest and most experienced men Of
both parties in the Commonwealth. THUS
has been eXemplife4 once moro tie truth
of 'he poets saying, that
POOLS rash in where angels fear to tread. -
These two Arcadians moved promptly to
the front and were astonished to find that
rot only the President, Hon. WILLIAM NJ
NFREDITH, but the great body Of the mem
bers were blissfully unconscious of their
Gistinguished presence. As,,lcadcIs they
have not been a success. Their efforts to
impress the party stamp upon the Conven-
tion. and to run it by applying the caucus
lash, have proved signal failure, and they
have h,eH given to understand thai the
Convention represents The peopis and not
770rt". aud that IFS action. instead Of being
moulded TO advance and strengthen the in
terests OF radicalism, was and is intended
t'promote and secure the highest interests
Of the State. They and the few who SYM
Tathize with them viii speedily find their
PROPER level among the men of broaclerand
aud more elevated views. who. we are
haypy to say. constitute a vast majority of
the Convention. Before the close Of it's de-
liberations we predict that Harry WHITES
influence IN the Convention will amount 10

Is another column will be found the Off
ci.'l vote of the State at the late President
ial election. 1t shows the following facts 4:
The total number of votes poilcd at the Oc-
tober election WAS 1.147, while the entire
vote cast in November reached ONLY 5G1
650-showing that 100, 497 voters who de
posted their ballots in October remained
away from the polls in November. HAIR
TRANlT received 353. 4S7 votes and GRAxr
3l3, $50, slowing loss from HARTRASFT's :
vote Of 3,6Ja. IN October, BUCKALEw re-
ceived 81, 7GG votes while at the President
ial election GREELEY received only 21f.961
votos-iudicating that los, 100 Democrats
in the State who voted for BUCKALEy re-
fused to vote for GREELEY. 1t will also
appear from an examination Of the returns
that Of the Mirty-ons counties which gave
BUcKALEw maiorities in October nineteen
gave maiorities FOR GRANT in November.
In the ttcelrs counties in the State carried
by GREELEY, he received majority of S.
