The Ashtabula re egraph in noticing our an
nouncement, last wee , of the Democratic victory
in the State, says:— ..
This Democratic Erie Editor speaks out ' Loco_\
f o coism will keep up n contention with the South,
if eonceision can hay p ace. They go for isunited,
nun-sectional, "political party, stand upon the. Balti
more platform, go forrvietory at the Pella, and au
premise in the Haien. Niititing less and nothing
mire. "The Editor afterwards, casts his defiance at
fanaticism. lie need Mit. These gentry are his
allies end confine their attacks to the lrhig party;
contribute its defeat, and exult in every Locofueo
triumph.- - Well; the Editor of the Observer at
least spiaks the truth when he states the cause of
the ill success of the Pennsylvutiia Whigs. They
supported treedbm and ere rejected!
The naitor of the Telegraphl,should be more
chary of his epithets. Morelrefined whigs do not
use the wind °Loctifoce" now—they call us the
"opposition." But our coteryporary says Locofoce. 1
isen "will keep up no , contention with . ..he south, if 1
concession can buy peace ;" meaning, of course, that '
- the compromise measures were "concessions," and
that they were "L Jc tfoca" m esores. Now we are
apt unmindful of the fact ',hat , the territorial ques
ti 19 have been settled upon the platform upheld by
the,s4\ emocracy !n l'-i4B, but as'these measures re
ceived. e se',.;:eat of many patriotic whigs in the
Senate an . the House and finally received the ap-
Provo! of a Whig President and cabinet, we certain
lyv7 ill not be so greedy as to claim all the honor of
I their passage. No, the 'whig party, as a party,
1 mey and mast share it with us. Henry Clay, and
Lewis Cass, Daniel Webster, and D. S. Dickinson,
and so on, ad info:aunt. are all in the same boat,
with Millard Fillmote at the hello! So that, if
there • has been any "concessions" made to the
South to "buy peace," whigery has had as ninny
hands in the work as "Locofocoism." But it puz
zles us not a little to ascertain what these "conces
sions" are. First, California is admitted as a
free state—then New Mexico and Utah are admit,
ted'as territories withoin any prohibition, it is true)
in regard to slavery, hut. with state Constitutions
adopted by the people thereof staring the South
full in the face fryer prohibiting that inititution.
After that the slave state of Texas is shorn of
mini) , square miles of her territory, and it delivered
over to freedom. Then, following close upon the
heels of this 'curtailment of slave territory, comes
• n act abolishing the slave trade in the District of
Columbia. Now fur all this, what does the South
get? Nothing! absolutely nolling, but %%hat the
Constitution most solemnly guarantied to her in
the plainest and most emphaticiangeage—a law ca
bling her to recapture her fugitives from labor! Awl
this out cot emporary pleases/ Or call a ocmcesaion"
to ;he south. %%remid it not be 'More appropriate to
cull it a "concession" to the Constitution!—that its
pluinest Provisions shall - no longer be set at naught
by the "consciences" and "caprieces" of those who
have taken it into their pious heads that they arc
more holy than their neigAbars! Bit why this
phrase "Locefecoism will ?seep up ter contention
pith the - south, if concession will buy peace?" Is
not . the south a part of the Union? and has it be
conic a political Fie to treat her es such? "One

Thankful For Small Favors
Our dearly Morel friend of the Chronicle is iu n
pfuJect ecstacy at the election of Judge M)res to
the Senate, fiom the Clarion district. This er
flow of juy, however, dues flit result from the recol
lection of the manner this i•aine Judge Myres skin
ned 00 sporting whig: u ts Out of all the
spare "din.es - and dullar4" they could raise a few
years since!—no, it is because he "is a thorough
tarifrlll/111, end will be as efficient and hearty a sup
porter of protection as any Whig in the State"."—
Now, as iiur legislature trill lia‘t precious little to
'do with tatiffs or protection, wo apprehend this "ef
ficient and hearty support of protection" won't reach
a great tray beyond his desk in the Senate chamber.
We call this thankful for small favor,.

The, True "Higher Law" Doctrine.
There are a great many honest and censcien
tious'Abolitionlats—indeed wo know of some such
who take our paper. Honest - themselves in their
opinions, they have charity to believe those who
dilliir froin them ore equally au, and hence they are
I t proscriptive. To all such, as well as t. our
rc: era generally, we wish to bring to home some
of,tl , sayings and doings of a recent Convention
of the ditionists of thisstate, held at \VOA Ches.
ter, on tit' 15th of the itresent month. We du
this because ve.wish !to show the people of w h at
enormities fanaticism may be . guilty, as well as the
tro source from whence is derived the higher law
doctrine so enthusiastically advocated by some of
our cotemporciries. We are indt bred to the Phan
delphia Butiefint for a report of the doings of the
Convention. The report submitted to the Conven
tion from the society commences witli
I -
view of the triumphs of the Abolitionists and
&tilers, past alid present, and then directly des
to personal abuse of Henry Clay, who it charac
terizes us the ';Prince of Compromisers." Ills re
cent CongOssional course is denounced as worso
than infamous; after which Mr. Buchanan comesgin
for a goodly share of their virulence. .After a
'general demolition of fabrics, men and principles,
the report goes on to allude to the various petitions
which emanated from the North durihg the past
year, fur a "peaceable dissolution of the Union,"
and styles these incendiary documents "wholesome
Measures." It declares also that Mr. Buchanan is
at the head of etery pro-slavery movement in the
North, moved solely by political mmites, lt lole
Gov. Johnston, in behalf of the whigs, has alit at s
stood up"firinly for the Abolitionists, and partially
concurred in their action. Ilere is one of the sour
ces of our neighbor of the Gazette's higher-law
spring; but to go on. :t..T.be Pennsylvania Congres
sional delegation next come in fur n splendid share
of denunciation. Senator Sturgeon is particularly
marked out. The Societt are dreadfully humiliated
at - Alie course,ef Senator Stucre in.- Mr. Cooper is
not overlooked, though the charge against him is
less stringent, arid certainly less offensive. Of the
members of the lower house, tbeiu are, the S,ciety ,
say, flattering exceptions, Mr. I{.)4s is assailed
without mercy, while Mr. ,Stephens is lainfed.-
3m11. , ,e Thlrrnp,on manages to get through with the
loss of his honor, but nut witlmut the brand of de
famation and baseness attached to him. Ni. whigs
are included among the list of denonuced, bot all
unfortunately, are, os our dereated Cuno•ressional

assigned a seat in the setcnth beaten, and wears,
