Strange as it may tweet, out fear is, that when
division shall come, the North will be the seceder!.
For one reason why the North should preeerte the
Union intact, there are a dozen that apply with
more weight to the South. The hitter, though a
minotity,Thare always wielded:the power and pat
en:lege of the Federal government. They now
till most of the offices. We carry their mails tot
them, an.l rapport in idleness their seetly.aristocra
cy, degenerated by the infloence of the institution
hi their midst ; OM presence in the Union is the
only safe gnaw,' they have to their own safety, and
the security of their property. Without us, they
could not keep that properly for a day"; while 'Mil
horrors of St. Domingo would appal them every
hour. In our judgment, none of the trltimattems
which the South set op, would endanger this Union
if adopted at once. Incorporate the Wilmot Provi
so upon every territorial bill—abolish Slavery in
the District of Columbia—repeal the-Fugitive Slave
Law—and the blnsterings of the - Smith would turn
out as they did in the case of Caltfontia. The abo-
Jiticm of Slavery in any stale, Weida undoubtedly
drive , even the South to desperate and extreme
measurer—tee no true patriot would ask such n
thitir. The danger then is, that the - South .will at
tempt to drive the North into the. support ol such a
series oflaurptitiotts. and apreesions as will force
the latter - Icl the conclusion that the former is not
indispensable to their welfare, nor the welfare of
barn:mit). and it ey will quietly and peaceably des
solve the fraternal telatiotis which connect them.—
The North will not he satisfied to be made and held
as a mere instrument to annet new territory to en
hance the value of Slave property ; as a secondary
power whore only object is to minister to the de
mands of the alavery-mnmatelists. The North
have been accustomed to leek forward to some pa.
rind, intlefin to-be sore, when :our eternity free
from the sin ol Slavery, should hare achieved the
summit of greatness. When - they are made to-un
derstand that all the legislation of the country Is to
be subservient to the riveting anti- strengthening of
the chains of Stately, our great War it., that the
Freemen of the Repolthe will look about them for
the best means by whieh they can at least ri t l them
selves of all participaion in the arm-AM sim i
Nothing, bat a return to the principles of the fath
ers of our enrmtry can area the threatning danger
or dissipate the imperrding gloom. The sun has
gone hark upon the diet, bat wisdom and modern.
*ln may yet_gtritle us safely through the storm.—
Let Slavery cease her incessant and wear mpled
'demands. Let her be content with the,destiny and
' fate the sages of the Revoktion awarded her. Let
the North be prepared in good with to Atli:tor the
compmmismt of the Constitution. Let the South

That filrxur.a.son possesses no small amount
of ambitiono one will deny. it, is this quality
which has brought Lim into the' company he now
keeps. Ile has heretofore been identified with the
Democracy of the county. He tag professed the
principles they have so often put forth, And has cle
tended them with seal when assailed by tli_e r very
men in whose embrace he is now shoat lovingly+'•

woven around him, were apprently broken, and

Democracy and side by side by those with whom
he had -always acted, and repudiated most earnest.
ly the companionship and plans of men who he
knew the Democracy of Bradford have no confi
dence in. That Democracy were unanimous in
demanding the re-election of DAVID Wrr.sicrr. To
effect this object, Mr. Sirsocits.es declared himself
witting to Imply his time and energies. That lie
had, fallen under some suspicion on the part of Dem •
ocrats, was a bitter complaint from him, and he de
clared himself willing to leave the : field whenever

prospects. ft was under such representations as
these—combined with a feeling of sympathy on ac
count of his defeat, that he carried this county in

The celebrated Lacey rifle Conference detclosed
the reasons for this mysterious conduct. One of the
conferees hat! brim in Towanda, for a week before,

nomination. He was taken to the Conference by
Mr. IVAeo end the performance commenced. First,
enter Mr. %Vice FORNi.T, OrritS from Montrose,
with STRCKTED:n desire not ts?have Iris name used
in the Conference. Throughout, the Susenehanna
Conferees seemed to,hare no other wish than to
canter upon Bradford the Senator, upon such terms
as shoold make that kind act as odious and disa
greeable as poisible. They came there, under a
precious arrangement, that Streeter teas to withdraw,
and they:pixy? of die Sarrptdconna Conferees to be

of the bargain, which had been previously twang.

from Mr. Nirca's celebrated protest, written by
Mr. Want, and which it was supposed with Mr.

We have no doubt, one of the conditions of the

editorial direction of the North Peansylacfrien, or
of the paper which was to be established upon its

Wel call the attention of our readers to an article
phbfished in another column, taken from the

facts of Cacti we have before had Matti, and which
are most undoubtedly gitivrt-in this article.—

The afruggle for U. S. Senator is oils in which we
have not taken part, except to Watch the manoeu
-11 Tres of those who have been engaged in "pulling"
certain then, and preparing the public for their sup
port. We view with great pride, some of the men
in the North who are mentioned for the °See, and
shall be gratified at their succos.
We have noticed with groat surprise, tteal lot
some , tim, pay', the Pentisylixraisn has been gradu
ally 'deserting the principle of the 7 anti of 1846,
and becoming convinced that an alteration should
be made to favor our coal and iron interests. At
the time that tariff bill was passed, Mr. WitArrr,
atone of the Pennsylvania 'delegation, was in fa
vor of a redaction of the tariff of 1842. Had the
remainder of the Democrats from Pennsylvania
been with him, they could have secured more fa
vorable terms for our great interests. Mr. WA= ea,
then Secretary of the Trkwsury, was ready to matte
such alteration as Arita give se reasonable and
fair protection. But the Pennsylvania . delegation
ted their fortunes with those of the already over
?protected manafirteters of the Brist,who- in the
tworld's market fear no competition. As a conse
quent:B;th* benefits they could have obtained for
!Pennsylvania were foolishly and slightingly refused.
Mum voted against the bill as reported,
until the last moment, that it might if possible be
got hoe a committee of conference, where amenJ
meets could be mode, more favorable to Pennsyl
vania, and upon its final passage, the gnerition then
beigg *whether there should be a modification of
the tariff of 1842, or not, was the only member
from Pennsylvania who voted for the new bill.
Now we desire to call the renders' attention to
the consistency of the Pennsylvanian in its present
course. About three years noi in conjunction with
be Wasitimgrint Onion I,i undertook to elite Mr
WILMOT down. One of the gravest •barges brotcht
against him was this - eery tonne apart the Tariff
qaestion ; and In wee denounced as being oppos
e° to the tariff of tkiet Nob, the Pennsylvanian
has deserted the Tariff of late, - and has become
extremely anxious to efFeet precisely that kir which
Mr. Wtisocrr labored at the lime of the passage of
the law, The venerable Ritchie is just at present,
too intent tipon preserving the Union, or Ave should
prbbably have the Pro meeleention and a netnber of
other papers which dance when that paper pipes,
denounced and read oat of the piny. •
The object of this new move, as hinted, is to
improve Mr. BUCHANAN'S political Entries. Afte.x
the manner of those whose declining health make

Mr. Buchanan was thertderitally there—the
dear confidential friends. o sir. Bilehanan, were
there, and - th 'eflsere all called in so' aid this decay
ed journal of decayed office hcmtens and patriots out
out of place--to aid in its sore need, and save it
from death, and save its dear Editor, the peculiar
friend of Mr. Buchanan, from the necessity of emi

But, sincerely it is a sorry thing to see the pOts

betrayed by those who wear 1 -broad phylacteries,"
and to whose keeping are commited ,the advocacy
o(the cause and the v indication of 43s null; faith.

this question of the Tariff. The dreml,was ' and is,
that the embers ot. the Legislature might feel due
