to induce the free S:v.f. men to.r.:fu,e par-

of our enerny.are alone sufficient to .convinee
the refle,eting, intelligent mind, that the men
who hare. so bitterly denounced' the demo-
cratic organization, and accused it of aiming
to enslave the fertile-territory in quet.tion, are
insincere, and MO really anxious to bling
about the ‘ result,they profess so much to fear.-
.11esides when we Consider t h at upon the per
petuation'of the troubres ip Kansas, }:hug :ill
the hopes of the political g,amblers in the last
Ptesiclentiel canvass, it is very nvutal to
conclude, hat they would regret, and do. all
in their potiqo prevent the destruction of
that upon which they have fed and fatted.---
'When they assert that they (we mean the
leaders) desire the admission of Kansas as ,a
free State, they utter what they know to be
a falseboli. That arch-agitator, Wm. 'H.
Sward is ambitious to become the executive
head offihe Republic; by agitating. the vex-
Atious:questiun of slavery, and arra}ing, the
North against the South he hopei to accom 7
ilish his purpose.; in no other Fay can be
and his abolition forces triumph. This fact
they appreciateyand therefore spare no pains
to keep alive the jealousies, the dissensions
and excitements which the continual agita
tion of the slavery question necessarily pro
duces. During the struggle which preceded
the election of .11r; Buchanan, they made
votes for Fremont by asserting that the eti
slavement of Kansas Was certain to follow
a democratic victory. Should this prediction
prove false as it surely will, if the inhabitants .
of that Territory IT.ereise.the- rights secured
to them by the or7anic act, then the black
republican structure tumbles to the ground.
This conclusion is indisputable. "fence —the •
anxiety of its architects to prevent a fair ex
presion of opinion through the ballot-box, on
the day fixed for the election o( delegates to
the . .. Constitutional Convention. 1311t* despite
theinsideons and tiricked ir.dici of the hyr-,
erjtes; it is evident to all, that Kansas is
tined to Temkin free—to' be expressly -al
lotted to the free-la - borer. This fact is so ap
parent that the opposition Journals hare ie.
ceutly set about the work of claiming for
their party the homOrs of the aahievetAent—

now reigns aithin her limits. The or 'r,•
that Journal does pot condescend to utAlish
his reasons fdt making this ideclarationt= . the
facts which warrant his assertion. He i knOws
eery well that the so-called “ friends 'or free-
dam" represented by Emigrant Aid eocietieF,
are responsible fdr all the strife with which
Kansas has been afflicted since its organiza
tion and settlement. .Nebraska, created by
the satna,net wlieh gave Kansas a Territori
si governuient, has not been cursed with
eivii ! war, and is hear nko of . " pro-slavery out
rages" in tbatquarter. ' Why f Because the
fl:cutlet of .New England did s nitopour their
etnitaries in organized bodies into the Terri

Wlfy 1d these Teeriteries lying adjacent

the justice atid wisdom of the :organic act.

and.its fdse to freedom 7; just as

Our - State Ticket.
We print.to-rlay an abstract of . the pro
ceding . s of the Democratic State convention
which re-assembled at Ilarrlsburg Ca the 9th
in -t, to 'fill the vacancies occasioned by the
removal of Judge Black to the National Cab
inet, and the detilinatiori of Judge Lewis.—
As will be observed, \Vm. 'Strong of • Ileils,
was notninated on 2.1 ballet, and Jame ,
Thompson of Drie, on the 9th half:!, as can-
Ilidales fur Supreme jUdges. These nomina
tions were suhsequeuily made unanimous
amid much irpplarise. The -Ticket °as com
pleted is au excellent one, and will receive
'the hearty and united support Of the Democ
racy ofilie Commonweitlth, We have here
t. , Zore publi.died biographical sketches of •
Messrs. Packer and Strickland, so that any
reference to the past career of'either of these
I onest - , able men and sterling :Democrats is
unnecessary on this occasion. Of Mr. Strong,
the Rtading Gazette spealls a= follows : ‘!flis
irreproachable personal. character, ' his habits
of indefatigable industry, Ids eminently prac
tical cast of mind, and his experience in the
Law, running . through twenty five- yea a
praet ice, - in causes involving the most impor
tant it - .terests of persona and property that ev
er require the adjudication of our courts, all
-.combine 'admirably to fit him for the high
and responsible duties of a justice of the-Su
preme Bench,and to warrant us in regaidin!
-him as eminently worthy to succeed to the
Ermine which has been wornrby a Tilghman,
a Yeates, a Brackenridge, and a Gibson...? ; .
•'Jndge Tuometo:„has already been before
,-
the puldic in several 'positions of trust and
Ittinor. Ile has diAinatislted 'himself at the
Bar, in the Legislature, and on - :the tench ;
and is Well qualified to discharge the duties
of the office to which he has been nominated.
Ile is a great ftrori:e With' the people of the
Western counties and Lis name 'will add
strength to oar Ticket in that quarter. The
1 Demon:ley true to thOr 'past history and
theii mission,)present for the suffrages of
their fellow ° Oitizens,- men OP aistin gnished
' ability and intiez - rity: eminently worthy to fill
the positions for which they are named. As
able men,:rincl.the 'unflinching represcniatives
of democratic principles, we ask fur - them a
united anti earnest support. We do not ex
pect that their election will influence the fu
tune of IZirnsas, or 'strike the shackles from
the limbs of a sin ,, le. negro'. We select them
for, rise suffrages 4f . 40r fellow citizens, 'as men
coinpatent and disposed to . guard .well the
iuterests of the commonwealth ; men who ie
i spec: and venerate the Constitution of the
1 Repuhlic,-and are ever ready to uphold and
maintain it as the supreme law of the Lino.—
With pride we contrast the personal and-po
litical character of our candidate for Govern-
or, with that of the opposition standard-bear
er. Parker has a spotless : reputation and
has Deverbetrayed the trust reposed in him
by the people. Who can say this of Wilmot
and spell the truth I .
An• clip the following from the P i i
adcl~.hia
Sun. a staunch Native .kmerieau
paials r .nols . zealously laboring to make the
demagogue Wilmot, Governor•of the ern-
Monwealth :
Now then we assert it as a fact that the
Arneriwin Republican Party, has iri Penn
sylvania, talen the place of the old Whig
.Party, and that David Wilmot, trace a.Deni
ocisi a better one, we say, now than ever,
has been made the standard bearer of the
Whig Party."
What say the free-soil Den3ocrats" of the
African district, to this declaration or their
active ally and co worker I Retilembe'r that
the journal from Which we quote "has always
advocated tbeilliberal acid proscriptive dOg
mas of Nativeism—that in the . very - 'article
Wilinote is eulogized, the foreign
born and catholic citizens of the country are
denounced in the sliest terms is unfit to pos
sess and enjoy the rights and prerogativas of
the Americatifreetnan. And the chief teat
son urged by the Sun for its support of this
sectionalist, is. that he is' d ceStipeteist and le
linble
adrowte of the' American cause: Now,
in thislocelity the oppetiiiou to (be ttmoei
ittey,rOfes.s hostility to that Crinse and dart
not. a dmit that . Mr. Wilmot is its sworn rep
resentative. Here they claim to be the espe
cial f iends of the free-laborer--the enemies
of that policy which is Aesigno to deprive
him fr his rights and degrifle him. We trust
they will give oi:declaration and arguments
oftbeir able Philadelphia co-worker publici
ty in this quarter, that the honest men of
their rank and file may act intelligently. In
the Southern and Middle" counties of the
State, abolitionism meets with little favor;
hence those who sustain Wilthot there, claim
to be tattier-AI imn, . Pustain the. repeal of
the Missouri compromise and approve the
decision . in the Dred Scott case, but battle
the democrOc, organization because it favors
a just and humane policy towards those, who
happening t be born in another land, are
attracted . to our shores by-the splendor and
liberality of our institutions. Thos is
,the
character of the opposition widely different,
in different h kalities, while it is the pride of
our party that its principles pre national, and
applicable wherever the constitution is, at
knowledg,ed of binding. authority. Tn -- u my
dist riot" the nigger question swallows all otheii , ..
hence Wilmot's trained and obedient fellow
ers shriek for " freedom" itnd the "provifro,"
in other parts of the State ; the faction hostile
'to demOcratie rule subsists on its fear of
the Pope atal the etnigrent; hence it wastes it's
eveigies in vulgar and unreasonable abuse of
the catholic and foieignor. • These -- sectional
and po=criptive powers .uni te,and, as Wilmtit
when be scents Plunder, is the chief of detna
zogues, they select bin) as their 'champion.—
They have amounted that, he will canv:fss
the State : a very delicate and difficult task
