possible that a majority would vote to sustain the author of the heartless and cruel letter ♦o Prof. Silliman on the state of affairs in Kan s ts It is only among those who are ignorant of the material facts, and who do not know that Mr. Buchanan has himself appointed to as well as retained in office the mastef-spirits of t he Border Ruffian, robbers aud murderers— including some whose individual hands are red with the blood of innocent Free State men— that his letter to Silliraan can be deemed tri umphant. Had one-half the Republicans of Pinnsvlvania tokenthe THE TRIBUNE duriug the last two or three years and lent it freely to their neighbors, that letter would suffice to insure the defeat of its author and his parti zaus in the pending contest. There is yet time to do the needed work. If there be lack of faith or of heart on the Republican side, it is confined to the politi cians—the People do not share it. Gen. Pack er is exceedingly vulnerable with regard to the canal jobs and squanderings of the last ten years iu Pennsylvania, and a simple, brief expose of his connection with and profits from these jobs would set thousands actively against him who are now indifferent. The attempt of the allies of South Carolina and Mississippi to raise votes on the assumption that Wilmot is a Free-trader is an insult to the popular intelligence, which only needs to be meet to recoil on its authors. Whatever may be Mr. Wilinot's individual notions of Political Econ omv, his election would be quite other than a Free-trade triumph, aud this the authors of the cry that he is a Free-Trader do perfectly know. Mr. Wilmot was nomiuated and is supported as the champion of Slavery Res triction,* aud as such he stands or falls ; but his election would liberate Pennsylvania from the toils of trie political gamblers who, in op position to their own convictions as well as hers, have dragged behind the triumphal car of Calhounism for most of the last thirteen rears, merely that they might riot in the spoils of office. It is high time that they were re buked for this betrayal, and the opportunity cow presents itself. We close oy entreating every Pennsylvania Republican to do his utmost for the election of Wilmot and his able and worthy associates on the Republican State Ticket. Iu a year of relative apathy, a little effort often secures great results. —A". I'. Tribune.

MOST SHAMEFUL I —The York Republican states that lien Packer, in his speech there went out of the way to indulge in hitter and abusive comment upoii lus rival, Judge Wn.- NOT. We should not have thought this of the General. When he accepted his nomination at ilarndiurg, Packer made a speech, which was understood, by his friends as well as op ponents, as a defiant chaileng to meet, on the hustings, whoever might be the candidate against him. In this aggressive position of Packer, Judge Wilmot expected his challenge which was not forthcoming, Wilinot himself invited a canvass together before the people. After Packer had, through his "Commit tee," declined, the name of his opponent should no more escape his lips, aud reference to him be avoided on his part. This would seem to be good taste, justice, and ordinary decency. Wilmot, we hope, will treat Packer as Burlingame treated Brooks after a similiar coming down—with utter neglect ! P. S. The Daily X~cics states that Gen. Packer said in his York speech that he want ed to meet Wilmot but the " Committee" would not consent ; and this avowal disgust ed many of his hearers, even of his own party, •lost as if a caudidate for Governor was uot enough of a freeman to defend himself and at tack an opponent, but was a mere tool of a " Committee " Mr. W ILMOT. —From all parts of the State, *e have the most cheering intelligence of the impression making by our friend Mr. Wilmot on the minds and hearts of the people. His tare argumentative ability, his vast fund of politico-historical facts, his intimate acquaint anceship with distinguished gentlemen, on all sides of politics—his possession of folios of in teresting persona! reminisences—his simplicity of manner and wonderful urbanity of disposi tiou— his frank, out-spoken way with the peo pj°, all, in harmonious combination, render I'im one of the most remarkable men of the day. Pennsylvania may well be proud of such a | man as WILMOT as her son, and happy will be the State, when she can point to him ns her Governor—as the worthy successor of James lollock, whose excellent administration of l affairs will be continued by GOVERNOR " ILMOT. The people's nominee is treated with mark ed respect in the country, aye, even by the friends of Mr. Packer. His political enemies the worth of the man, wboin party duty compels them to oppose. P it, what shall we say of tlec opponents Democracy who are doing their little worst a ?ainst WILMOT ? Why nothing, simply be- Cause do language we are acquainted with has Wor ds which can commeasurately express our contempt for them.— Pkila. Sun.
