"'i'S'f-r—. ■ ; Mode of Electing Delegates to the JtetlonaJ ; OurinteliigenUcotemporary of the Bedford Ga zette, we fear,,has discovered a mare's .nest. He has ascertained from somebody, that “a certain class .; of politicians 17 have it in contemplation, at the ap proaching 4th of March convention, to elect dele gates to the Democratic National Convention, not by Districts, but by General Ticket, which he is pleased toterni a u monstrous assumption of power," and thereupon, in a truly belligerent manner, admon ishes the convention jo “ Beivare lest they cora 'riut- deeds, that will not be submitted to." This menace we consider unfortunate. It is so seldom, that individuals are induced either to do a thing, or to leave it undone, in consequence of an impending threat, that the man who indulges in this species of suasion invariably betrays either a bad temper, or a bad cause. Much better seek to convince your friend or neighbor,'by fair argument, that he medi ; tates a wrong, than strive to affright him from his propriety by. fierce scowis and menaces. The one may lead to a change of. purpose, and Often does; the latter, in nine cases out of ten, only serves to render determination more determined. - We had not, previous to the perusal of the article in the Gazette, bestowed a moment's reflection on this subject, nor heard it agitated by the “ certain class of politicians," to whom it reiers; although we are proud to claim, that we have never ourselves belonged to a classf whose .political opinions were at all uncertain. It Us, therefore, not in our power to know, -whether t Gazette be rightly informed, of not .But this much we do know : that if the 4 tli of March Convention contemplates doing any thing whatever,, we trust it is this identical thing, •which l the Gazette so vehemently deprecates. The- Gazette contends for the district mode of choosing delegates to the National Convention, for the reason that Members of Congress are selected by districts, and not by General Ticket. The cases are as dissimilar as day and night—for whilst it is undeniably true, as the’ Gazette maintains, that all the States in the Union, without exception, have adopted .the District System in the choice of Con gressmen, yet it; is a fact equally true, and which the Gazette has omitted to mention, that the States have \pih equal unanimity, abandoned the District System in' the , choice of Presidential Electors. In the exercise of the power conferred upon them, they have, one and all, provided for the choice of Electors by General Ticket , and the necessary consequence is, that the Electors in each State, being all chosen by the same party, are all of the same political faith, and all pledged, beforehand,, to vote for the same candidate. The vote of the Elec toral College now is always an unit —as it would not be, if the Congressional System were followed, as our friend of the Gazette would fain have it. This, then, is the mode, by which the Electoral Colleges arc constituted, mid with becoming defer ence to the opinions ot the Gazette , we consider it, also, “the oiily_proper mode of selecting delegates *’ to the National Convention “ that cun be devised.’’ The district mode we'.regard us so manifestly im proper, thut we hope to see'if discarded, promptly uml fearlessly. If the' District System be the right one, then is the holding of u State Convention the most wholesale Furee, l, tlmtever un intelligent peu plo>nacted—boennse the only object thut such a body cun possibly huvo in view, is. so to concen trate the vote of the Districts upon u particular can didate, as to ascertain thereby the legitimate and rightful voice ofthe State,— und if the Districts, each for itself, shall maintain its own separate or ganization and representation, in despite of the State Convention, then the expense of convening the latter had better remain in the pockets of the delegates, to be expended in some more sensible project. In another aspect, is the district system, when a State Convention has been provided, farcical and wrong. Suppose the State Convention be unani mous for one Presidential candidate, with the ex ception of a solitary congressional district, which prefers another candidate. Now, will .you permit the delegates from this dissenting district to select a representative to the National Convention, who is the avowed friend of A., and then instruct him, by the solemn vote of the State Convention, to sup port B ? How much more in accordance with -common sense, for the State Convention to select the delegate itself, choosing a man, whose preferen ces accord with his instructions. There will then be no danger that they will be disobeyed, as there would be in the other case. " This subject, however, involves a principle of yet greater magnitude than the one above stated the right of the majority to govern— which lics.at the foundation of all republican government, and in vindication of which the democracy of Penn sylvania, on a memorable occasion, encountered an ' array of fierce soldiery, armed with muskets, load ed, almost to the muzzle .with Buckshot and Bail. Just in proportion as you divide and sub-divide the State, you increase the danger ofthrowingpower into , the bands °f tire minority. A moment's reflection .’ "o' l satisf y any man, that if the Populni; Will be the object in view, the surest way t® arrive at it is, to take the sense of the l lfhok Body , without any’ di vision Qr.sub-division. Frequently it occurs, that a majority of Congressmen, being elected by small majorities in districts, are of one political party yvhilst the vote for President or “Governor, running by General Ticket , although composed of the very same voters, preponderates greatly the other way. Hence district majorities are a very unsafe guide in arriving at the will of the whole. The entire De mocracy of the State, voting as One Body, aftprds ■ the only conclusive testimony, of its own preferen ces, whereas by a division into districts you tljat result, and.makq.the evidence fumishe'ddecep v tive and inconclusive. \ Equally untenable, is the,argument of the Gasete that because, previous State Coriventihns have a ifopteiCthe.Digtrict System, the next one should fol low the.-example. We subscribe to precedent, when right, but when founded on erroneous princi ples, we would despise and reject it, even though it had been adopted half a century ago, by Bex Fbanklix himself.

What adds to the interest of this assemblage, .however, is ths fact that we havemethere to-day ■as the of our old county-man, James : Buchanan. The same spirit that induces a Lan | caster county democrat to stand fast to his princi ; pies, influences his attachment to all those who | support these principles. It would be a sad spec | tacle, my friends, to see you embarking in a cause ! less crusade against James Buchanan. A whole country would vainly conjecture the reasons of your change. Why should you not be his friends now, as you were in 1844, and for long yeare be fore ? Has he forfeited your confidence or your respect by any single act—or even by,the suspicion of wrong 7 lam sure I cannot see that he has jus tified any change in the attachment of his former friends. He is now the Secretary of State of the United States, the officer next the President, whose and confidential adviser he is: surely it is no proof of political dereliction to share the con fidence of James K. Polk, our intrepid and honest Chief Magistrate. James Buchanan has not cer tainly fallen from the height upon which he stood a few years ago, by the manner in which he has con ducted the delicate and trying duties of a depart ment filled respectively by a Clay, a Webster, and a Calhoun, and intimately connected with our re lations with the governments of the world!

I look around me, and I see tiiose with whom I have &een asso ciated in some of the bitterest struggles against the federalists—the party chieftains whose white heads might always be seen, like the plumes of warriors, in the fore-front of the fight. This meeting alone is a proud proof of the utter falsity of all the charges invented or insinuated against our distin guished favorite. It shows, beyond and above all, 'that however he may be assailed for personal pur poses, in other quarters, the honest masses are still true to his cause, and are not to be affected by denunciation and abuse. ’1 kno;w lam right when I am acting with such men.

I did not come here to defend him. His life is his best eulogy, and our public archives are eloquent in his praise. Detraction has follow ed too long in his path—as, indeed, it haft in the paths of all our distinguished statesmen —to make us heed'rit'now. It cannot deprive him of “ The fairsreport that's rife on good men's tongues — The rich attire.of honorable deeds — ■'/ It cannotrlay its hands oh these, No more : than itcan lay its hand upon the sun, And, with polluted finger, tarnish it.** It must be a source of high gratification to all to know that James Buchanan never was so strong in his native State as he is atipresent. His friends will be in'an overwhelming majority in the Demo cratic State Convention.- Why you are literally surrounded with counties that have declared in his favor. Berks, York and Lebanon have all elected delegates friendly to Kin ntunination for *ho Prod deucy. Chester votes to-day and Montgomery on Saturday next. In both these counties our friends are sanguine of succt 3,5. Turn Jour eyes to the west, and you will s< e a whole tier of counties leading off in favor of James Buchanan —while in the north and north-east, the indications are no less Cheering and conclusive. The central counties of the State have declared for him almost without, an exception. Surrounded by hosts of honest and able friends, he will be presented to the National Convention in May next, as <{ the favorite and pre ferred candidate” of.good old. Pennsylvania. The war with Mexico, whether terminated or not, when the next administration commences opera tions, will require a safe and experienced Statesman at the helm of the ship of State. Such a man is James Buchanan. Like his great commonwealth, he is calm, steady, and reflecting—equal to all emergencies—firm in his attachment to the Union —and devoted to the compromises of the Constitu tion. The war will produce great and good but it will give rise to some difficult and delicate question’s, which will demand peculiar, ability and the most consummate statesmanship, t There is not among all the list of candidates one who, in my humble opinion, unites so tnany of those elements which are necessary to the adjustment of any di£ fcrences between the two sections of the country. His letter to the Berks county Democracy has been hailed by the true friends of the Union as the Olive Branch that must establish a solid and lasting peace between the North and South? This, with his con sistent and steady opposition to all interference with the rights of the South, wilbrendelr him most formidable before the National Convention—especi ally with the great old State of Pennsylvania— which may make or mar our hopes in November— in firm and steady array at his. back. j It would be a thrice-told tale, my fellow-citizens, to talk ‘to you of the fitness of James Buchanan, or of his uftgpotted private, and unsuspected public character.

City, and County Jlattenk The situation of the Public Buildings just now. deserved attention. Lancaster is-improving steadi ly and rapidly. Marketing fora thriving population is becoming of great interest both to city and coun ty; and io accommodate as well seller as buyir, in all kinds of weather, with suitable Market-houses and shelter from storms, is indispensable: The Market Sqaare is not large, and the Market house thereon is inconveniently suited to the grow-, ing wants of the City. Some of the buildings stan ding on the market, square aife appropriated to County Offices and a Masonic Lodge, uses contra ry to all| marketing purposes, and directly in the way of improvement and space in market buildings. The opinion of Mr. Slaymaker, given at the re quest of the Councils, and lately published in the newspapers, is conclusive that those extraneous buildings are incumbrances which may be removed: by indictments against the occupants as nuisances; or may be pulled down by any private citizen, who thinks himself aggrieved ; or trespassed upon with impunity. No one can be touched for prostrating a nuisance. Buildings thus situated, arc very unsafe deposito ries of the County Records. Nor ought it to be ex pected, that these buildings can long remain, in the eye ofthelaw, nuisances, without, fairly or unfairly, inducing complaint, indictment, and prostration, 1 by judgment of Court. It behooves, then the county authorities, and the people generally, to consider at once what is best to be done. Any suggestions on this subject should be taken to be, as they are meant, for the public good ; and weighed with minds solely bent on ar riving at just conclusions, upon a matter important to all: in the county. The County Offices then will have to be taken down, and rebuilt elsewhere. The people of the county may as ‘ well make up their minds to this; as it is as certain as that the sun will rise to-morrow. Plain legal rights, in a free country, are never long left unprosecuted. The City Councils could not re strain such an application of the law of nuisance, if they would ; and perhaps ought not, if they could. Three methods only, seem to offer, to redress the inconvenience arising out.of these circumstances. First; to purchase ground, and build County Offices somewhere convenient to the Court House. Sec ond, to take away the Court House, together with the Offices, and erect in-another place, as some other counties have done, a large Building, with suitable Court-rooms and Public Offices under the same-roof. Or Third} to rebuild in the middle of the Square, where it now stands, an Edifice which shall contain the Courtrooms requisite, and suitable Offices. The expense of the first plan would be very con siderable, costing perhaps $lO or 20,000., for suita ble ground near the Court Hbuse, and the erection thereon of convenient County Offices. The cost of the second plan, if we may judge from the expenditure in York, Berks and Chester Counties, where such Courthouses have been re cently built, would be very large; fifty or sixty thou sand dollars, at leußt. Besides, the citizens and property holders of Lancaster are entitled to con sideration; and could not, freely and fairly, be brought to consent to a removal of the Courthouse from the Public Square ; which is, as nearly hs may be, both tho centre of tho slto, anil tho centre of the habitations and property in tho City. A largo majority would, therefore, always strenuously op posott chango of locution. What, then, can bo made of tho remaining plan, to oroct a new building injhe centre of the Square, with proportions to accommodate all the county purposes of Courtrooms mid Officos 1 If this can he done, it would be a great saving of expense in money. It would also preserve the harmony of tho city and country,who form but one county conjoint ly, and ought to move kindly together and towards each other ; and thus contribute to the peace and welfare of all. If this last project will not do, it is difficult to say what else is feasible, and much confusion will be likely to arise. But let us see. The whole Square, says the Chief Justice in the Com’th vs. Bowman, 3 Barr, 206, speaking of the publicsquare in the town .of Bedford, is impliedly dedicated to a “ reasonable accommodation thereon for a Court house and Offices.’’ So that no indictment for nuisance could he maintained for appropriating a larger quantity of the public square for a Court house than is now used, leaving sufficient room for the convenient public right of way around from street to street. Now, a building iji the Centre about ninety feet square, set like a diamond, tKat is, with the corners truncated for doors to entrances, pointing towards £the middle of the four converging streets,g>would hot be more, or rather would be less in*tiiej|way in passing from street to street, than the present Court House. And it has been ascertained by a scientific and practical builder, that a house of that, size can be so divided as to afford a much larger and more conveniently elegant Courtroom on the lower floor than the present; and yet allow sufficient space on the same floor . for all the County Offices, Commissioners office included, in very convenient positions to accommodate the public and the Courts. The second story, according to the plan,—which may be submitted to the public,r—will be divided into another ample and beautiful Court room fifty feet square, and four jury rooms, two for the lower and two for the upper Court room. All this building and improvement, making Court rooms and Public Offices complete, it is said, by competent judges, can be done for at most $30,000, and perhaps a good deal less if the exterior and ornamental work shall be made plain. 1 think it probable that the use of the old material and econ omy would reduce it to $20,000. additional advantage Is, that the inconvenient noise from the public square, now a just cause of some complaint, would be greatly obviated if not entirely removed; as the new Court room is so situated, in the plan as to be surrounded on all sides by the public offices; anti therefore enclosed within double walls, except at the four corners thereof, which are truncated for the insection of a large window in each for the ad mission of adequate light to the Court room. If all this can be accomplished so economically and well, it removes every difficulty and ought to be quite satisfactory to all concerned. The whole could be commenced and finished with due diligence between the April and August Courts; at least between April and November. REFORM. Fur the Lancaster f^eltlgencer. The Democratic Party of L&iicaa . ter county. _ Much .teal surprise has been manifested by dis tant political brethren, at the scemm# difference of sentiment in the demaetatie party at 1 Lancaster caimtyi Ta them, a tJemaeraey that has wan great reimwn by its former steadfastness and unam imiiy, H»w seems afflicted with the mast implex sent and unnatural intestine brails. Tu an obser ver, however, who is eaguiaaut of the praeeediugs ef the party for the last fowmrenths, the eontrary must folly appear. It is true that there li an op: \m\Wm made ta Jamms Bwhawa*, ami that this appeshfon has latterly waxed'warm, and edited some eommatiau. M it is not at all astanishiug. that an ummpeeted, ar an unnatural phenomenon, should ereate Muitemem and noise. 1 It if no unm wml oppurrenee for a mPagro minorlty to create factious tumult, Ono'apoitApy from an adopted coda of political or religious principles, causes. more commotion than the uniform addition and or piijudlce, con 4i*t importers—and Mnn JMjjgppy the communUwJn whlej* ex * it iW n^9!^ >0 racked djaiuiion— truth, the great body afthk ! tfyjjfatcd and untouched by j jApfoffi political position of J^caater 9ranty. of the ji had not, until lately,' attracted the attention , the body of the. people—and, when consulted, they knew of none for that office but their old and tried “favorite, !Ames’ Sucraxan. ; It - is true,afewhave learned by rote to prate of other aspirants and deeds—have _ learned their lessons ; well—and. like the boy, who has his rhetorical essay by heart, dun them in the ears of their afflicted listeners.— But beyond this no difference exists. Beyond the individual influence of n far, there is no discord, no dissensiojl/ And if there is one thing that pre dominates in the feelings of our Democracy, it is their untiring devotion to James Buchanan —lf there is one wish stronger than another, it is, that James Buchanan may receive the cordial and unanimous vote of Pennsylvania. Him they know, and of him they know no evil. Having advocated his claims in ’44-—assisted in presenting him to the Democracy of the Union—having, through their delegates in ’43, attested their adherence to hirh, as in all honesty and truth an ornament to the nation, and the pride of Pennsylvania—they are unwilling now, without a cause, to desert him. Having closely scrutinized his course as the constitutional adviser of the President—having scanned his ar duous diplomatic labors, and duly considered his increased political merit, and his now justly un bounded 4me —they refuse to convict themselves of gross inconsistency—they refuse to stand a mark for the u slow unmovitfg finger of scorn”— they cannot brook the voice that defames what it once made beautiful with praise. Nolj the Demo cratic uarty of Lancaster county can never thus blast their reputation. Their escutcheon now, as ever, remains unsullied, by any political apostacy. Shall we point to the spontaneous action of the people in all parts of the county, to prove these assertions ? Wherefore, the intelligent and large meeting, called in the Southern portion of the county? Why has Marietta and vicinity been moved to this unusual action ? And does the meet ing at- Kixzeu's, attended by all the influential Democrats of the Easterns portion of the county, mean nothing? Is there a necessity for political casuistry here to discern the feelings of .the people? Will the demonstration at Mechanicsville prove nothing? Ah, there is a feeling and a spirit now abroad in this county, that will overwhelm those who. have excited it—they, who have sown the storm; are now reaping the whirlwind. Wo be to them, who attempt to forestall the public will—or, who rashly endeavor to stem tlie current of public feeling. The Democratic party of Lancaster county, true to themselves, are also true \o James Buchanan —true to their independence as a party, they adhere to their sacredly sworn allegiance.— No denunciation—no fear, can swerve them from their first love and from their sworn duty. For the Intelligencer. Behind the Time. Major Noah of New York tells of himself the following anecdote. When De Witt Clinton projected that stupendous imprbvement, the Erie Canal, the facetious Major started the publication of a series of elaborate essays, in which he under took to prove: Ist, that the construction of the work was impossible—and next, that, if construct ed, it would be wholly unproductive to the State. Governor Clinton, nothing daunted by the Major’s opposition, prosecuted theenterprize with, redoubled energy and vigor. To employ the Mujor’s own graphic 1 language : “ Before I hud half finished my Easaya, Clinton had finished the Canal, and it was pouring its thousands upon thousands into the pub* liccoflbrs!" Here was a wholesome examplifica* tion of Facts vs. Theory. Some tilings may be illustrated by others. And this unccdoto has u striking parallel, in tho estab lishment, in the city of Lancaster, of a newspaper, a perfect Leviathan in its way, for the special und sole purpose of proving: Ist, that Mn. Buchanan ought not to receive the vote of the 4th of March Convention for the' Presidency, and 2nd, that he will not. Behold the uncertainty of all human cal culations ! Before the aforesaid new-comer has reached the third week of its existence, and certain ly long before it has come to the end of its reason ing, Mb. Buchanan has the State, by probably two thirds. with a fair prospect of receiving the nomi nation in the National Convention at Baltimore. So, it would seem, Major Noah is not the only editor, who is not as wise as King Solomon. For tbe Intelligencer. “Injurious Legislation.” Mr. Editor: Such is the caption of an editorial, article in your valuable paper of the 12th instant, deprecating the effort now making at Harrisburg, by the Baltimore and Rail Road Company, &c. > I now would inform you, and your numerous readers, that .if the -legislation you speak of is inju rious, it has already been done, for, are you not aware that a Company has already been chartered to construct a Rail Road directly from York to Harrisburg? and, also, that a charter how exists, authorizing a Rail Road from Columbia to intersect the Lancaster and Harrisburg Rail Road, at or near Middletown 1 So you perceive, the Baltimoreans have already the power to tap*' the Pennsylvania Rail Road in two places, and the only question now is, which of these several routes is best calculated to advance the interests of the people of. Pennsyl vania ? Two markets are better than one, and every producer should have the privilege of going to the one where he gets the most for his produce. Again; if we can induce the Baltimore and Sus quehanna Rad Road Company, to intersect at or near the Turinel of the Lancaster and Harrisburg Rail Road, or the same Rail Road at or near Mid dletown, the other be abandoned , and we would have the more travel arid benefit in our own county, and would take none from the Columbia and Philadelphia Road, as all destined for Philadelphia would go directly on, the distance from the Tunnel on the above mentioned Road, to either Philadelphia or Baltimore, bein % nearly the same. But if we present them, then there is no doubt, thelYork and Harrisburg Rail Road will be made, as they had an Engineer on the route last summer making a survey and estimates, and they seem at present inclined to keep on the west side of the Susquehanna, and intersect the Pennsylvania Kail Road about‘five miles above Harrisburg, at which point Baltimore Would be nearly 20 miles nearer than Philadelphia.; neither Dauphin nor Lancaster county wouldt, have any benefit of* the Road, and more likely to take travelling and trade from Philadelphia, than the proposed route would. In fact we, as Pennsylvanians, would be benefited at the expense of Baltimore, if the Tunnel route is taken, inasmuch as the distance from the contem plated Rail Rbad Bridge, spoken of in your paper, is scarce .two miles from the Columbia Rail Road, which will doubtless be intersected,-and by that means, greatly benefit that part of the State Rail Road between Columbia and Lancaster; as Marb etta .is one of the largest lumbering marts on the Susquehanna, and has a rich and flourishing*eountry all around it, from which a large amount'of pro= duce is raised* Three Anthracite ftimaees are tilmtly erected) and several more are in progmiof erection in die all of which produce finds its way, at present; to the Baltimore and Philadelphia markets, by the Tide water final, and I have no hesitation in saying, that the greater nirtwttlM;gß the §olnmwa and Philadelphia Hail Bead, illhia proposed inteneetioniikeiite In the ethtF ease that part of the State ftailnoau, between Columbia and Lineaeter, would be dew* very Me more business, than would be going from &lumwto k < „ Now,wnderSheM elreum*tane«,,you. and ell -i uwumwi persona, wmi cqme to the eonenwon, ypt the «Pfndiiure of; the WW'J* .*• „?«■• |truetipn of the' WnwytoSw M wilbw# « Marietta, February L IMS, -' > ‘ l ' ’(' ■■■■..- ■■■■'.■■ ■ ■ !'■ Hn Mechanic*-.

More Facts tn. Whig Predictions We give, to-day, a few more iron-hearted and inexorable facts, for the digestion of those saga cious prophets of Federalism, who predicted that nothing but calamity would result to the country from the operation ot the tariff of 1840; which, so far as it has been tested by experience, has af- ' forded equql favor in all the great interests of the country—,agriculture, commercial,' manufacturing, . and mining. In looking over thdyalualj[e"statistics which occasionally appear in the PhilaHelphik, Com mercial List, we find in the number of that journal, bearing date January 22d, the following results of .. the iron mining and manufacture.in Pennsylvania, viz: LEACOCK. 1847. 1816. Exeess in Excess In 1847 over IS4G over „ 184 C. 1847. _ Founds. Pound,,.' Pounds. Pounds.

The excess of all varieties, of manufactured i iron brought to market in 1847, over the quantities brought in 1840, during the operation ofthe Whig tariff of 1842, is 70.580,539 pounds, or an increase of twenty-five per cent. In a late paper, on the authority of the Phila delphia Commercial List, W’e proved conclusively that the coal-mining interest had been favored with unprecedented prosperity under the equal and im partial operation of the Democratic tariff of 1846. We now show that the iron interest has been equal ly prosperous. It requires no facts or figures to prove the great prosperity of the'Agricultural int erests of Pennsylvania during the 1 ) last year. The farmers of that State-halve substantial evidence of their prosperous condition in their own pockets. Yet, charlatans in .political economy and politics are constantly endeavoring to convince the sturdy yeomen and the enterprising iron-masters and coal ‘ miners of Pennsylvania, that their interests have been greatly injured by the operation of a liberal tariff In view qf the facts which we have citfsl .above, we are willing to leave such quacks in the hands of their intelligent constituents.
