The administration ia not intimidated by the
rrsult in New Yoik. though it maybe disposed
not to rci'if amendments to the late tariff enac
ted by Congress, provided they do not interfere
with the general principle. That principle it it
determined ta uphold, be the conaequencea what
Ihey may. .
One thing ta clear, however, namely this:
Pennsylvania is neressry tn whichever rarty
may wis the race, and hence Pennsylvania will
be made the battle ground of the next Pteaiden
tial campaign. On Pennsylvania, therefore, atl
the efforts of party will be exhausted, and the
contest, it may be supposed, will be a severe
one.

The members of tbe neat Fourth of March
Convention have an important duty to perform.
They will have tn their bands tbe fatero deati
ay of the Democratic Party In Pennsylvania. If
they are actuated by a desire to place tbe eat
ress of tba party beyond all doubt if their vene
ration fr the aacendaney of Democratic prlnei-
plea ia greater than their love for tbe elevation
of pMtiealarlndividaalao all will be well. Bat
tf they falter in their doty, and 'sacrifice their
principles to a nomination for Governor wbiak
bat already been determined noon by certain
leadert, who, if they cannot rut, care net which
ptrtytueeeedt, defeat will. stare at la the' face
at the very out-set of the canvass. The oas
term principle mutt be adopted in the nomine,
lion, or all attempts to unite and harmonise tba
party must be made in vain. , - '
And why should not the principle be adopt.
ed f . What reasonable objection can be urged
against it ?, Will it not have a tendency tn puri
fy the administration of our public affaire, by
putting a stop to the abuse and corruption prac
tised under the system of re-election? Is it not
Democratic ? Did not the people vindicate Us
adoption In tbe recent election for Canal Com
missioner T " .'
Since the election, two or three prettea have
ventured the objection that itt adoption would
b unjuat and disrespectful to the preaent Execu
tive to refuse him a rrnomination. There would
ha but little plausibility in the argument that
Ihe feetiugt tad the pecuniary interests of tbe
incumhent should be connulted, even if the sue
cess of the principles of the party were not in
jeopardy. But when the fact that a re-nomination
is tantamount to a defeat has been rendered
too evident, by late events, to be denied, the ar
gument Is too futile to make the least impres
sion upon sny Democrat with whom principle it
paramount to men. Thj present Excutive htt
been fully half hi life in public employ, and at
the highest salaries. He has been well reward
ed for his services, and haa certainly no claim ta
a re-nomination at the sacrifice of the party. To
aay that, under the circumstancea, he haa any
claim, ia to tay thnt a man once in office is enti
tled to a monopoly of itt duties and irs compear
sation, as long at the Constitution w-t salts, tad
that, when one-: el cted. hit re-nootinatian must
emanate, not from the favor of the peoplo, but
fiom Ihe requirements of a vttd right. Strip
Ihe argument of ita appeals to sympathy, and
it amounts to nothing lesa th in a e';m for snrh a
monopoly What Democrat can sanction such a
doctrine ?
The argument, that thu adoption of thx' priori
pie now, would be Opposed to former precedent,
m ul atiiks every one at being ridiculous in the
extreme. If the Demon acy b., at it universally
contended, progressive, piecediat can have hut
little vi iht in the action of Ihe party, wbea it ia
mar.ifestly oppoed, at in the matter under con-sidi-rution,
lo a reform of abutea whirh atrika at
Ihe purity of our government, corrupt ihe elec
live franchises, and render a high public office
the mre instrument of personal agranjixement
in total disregard of the iatereata of the whole
people. If precedent be adhered to, abuses, how
ever glaring, rr.nst be permitted to rest like n
ineubut opon the body politic. A Democratic
Congrest passed, and a Democratic President
signed, a hill incorporating a Sank of the Uni
ted States. Here was a precedent. Hut who
will contend that General Jackson, when he dia
retarded this precedent by refusing to re-rharter
this same institution, was any th less a Demo,
crat than before committine an arl whirh receiv
ed the loudest plaudits of his party. But it ia
nselesa lo waate time upon an argument an weak
and puerile, whirh, if sustained, would atrike at
the root of all reform, and confirm the idea, pre.
valent with a lew, that oflieet were created for
th. benefit of the incumbenta, and not for that
