becomes the independent voter to enquire in
what way Wilmot's election can affect slave

can produce no practical griod ; it may. how

von of the elector from questions oven which
tho State Administration has unlimited con

Government with reference to questions be
longing to the Federal power has always
proved, and will continue to prove, fatal to
the rights and interests of the people. The
Democratic system is beautiful and just be
cause of its capacity and tendency - to reflect
the popular will. Elect a man to office as
the representative of the public sentiment on
a subject, which in his official capacity he
cannot affect, and the design of the dem

New. York, Massachusetts and Ohio have
each tasted the bitter fruits of this impolitic
and unwise practice. Pollock was elected
Governor to restore the Missouri Compromise
and combat slavery; . the result is that his
administration will be remembered only as
the . period when corruption reached its cli
max in the " Keystone," , and displayed its
hideous features in the creation of an uncount

in a gift of the public property to a mam

the sovereignty of the Commonwealth. The

and his associates indulge, constitute's cloak
under which the arch demagogues hide their
real purposese—while pleasing the popular

against despotism in all its forms, these polit

It will 'be remembered that on the 10th of

endorsed'and approved the despotic doctrines

strength of that response several of*, lead

hard to make him,Governor of the Common
wealth. They • (somewhat ignorant `of the
man's character,) have taken - him at his Word
and proclaimed that he is the devoted friend
and fit exponent of Native Americanism.—
While his 'Phig Ugly' letter is quoted in the
strong K. N. Districts as conclusive proof of
his idhe4on to the doctrine that " Americans
must rule America," the action of the 'late
black " Republican" Convention of this coun
ty is triumphantly referred to by his . friends
here, as evidence of his and their disposition
to place the naturalized and native-born citi
zen on a political equality. t That convention
as is well known, nominated a man of foreign
birth for the office of Register and Recorder.

present a united front in their struggle for the
spoils, the sworn enemies of the naturalized
citizen and the•Catholie wow forced to make
this nomination, though in so doing they
dot:emitted amoral perjury. They hoped also,
in this manner to cajole into the support of
/Pat hininkt Wei since the institUtion . of the
iniquitiouslodgesystem with its demoralizing
machinery. Thus is the pitiful spectacle
presented of the opposition candidate for Gov
ernor travelling in the South Western coun
ties of the State, abusing :and condemnino ,
men for the actident of birth, whilels dupes
in this locality, acting obedience to his
instructions, are endeavoring to elect to an
important office, one of the very class of citi
zens their master is taxing his ingenuity to
render unpopular and odious. These facts
firmly e ; _tablish, in the minds of most men,
the conviction that our. opponents are willing
to resort to any dishonorable expedient for
the purpose of achieving a ttory ; that they
will act in defiance of their professions and
the prejudices they have carefully nurtured,
when they fancy such action will inctease
their chances of success. The nomination of
a foreigner by the parasites of Wilmot,.taken
in connection with that gentleman's "Plug
Ugly" epiltle, presents an anomalous and
musing caie. Said epistle is declared by
said peasites to be orthodox, and to enun
ciate just, correct and libe‘al principles.—
Why, then, do they refuse to stand by those
principles, and like honest, fearless WPC, go
into the contest and by word and act defend
them! Again, bow humiliating it must be
to the meri'who Lave sworn in some den at
midnight, to proscribe the naturalized citi
izen and the Catholic, to be driven to the
polls smarting under - the party lash, and
compelled to vote in defiance of their oaths
and prejudices, for a member of that much
talked of " ignorant horde," attracted to our
shores by the beauty and liberality of our
Pea institutions. We do not, of course, re
gard Mr. O'Neal as unfit for the office. for
which he is named, because he happened to
be born across the Atlantic : but we cannot
help - thinking that those who. stereo to con
-. of birth as attecti ng a man's
fitness for a public trust, have exhibited gross
and arousing inconsistency in_ nominating him
for an official station. The leaders of the
black " Republican" phalanx have no right
to ask their " rank and filer to violate their
oaths and, prejudices at the ballot-box, this
fall. They have done this, however, in their
nomination of a foreigner; and we are anx
ious to know how they will reconcile the ac
tion of their county Convention with the
principles defended in the "Plug Ugly"
document of their champion, Wilmot. As,
their organ attempted to prove that their
bargain with the Fillmoreites, as exhibited in
the formation of a fusion Electoral ticket, was
"entirely fair," we suppose the obedient
hireling who pens . the insipid paragraphs
for that delectable sheet, will exhaust him
self in, the effort to convince the faithful that

Walker's Calumniators.
The Southern °hr.:lists and Northern agi
tators lovingly coalesce with the very patri
otic (?) design of crushing Governor Walker by
abuse and misrepresentation, The Nashville
Patriot endorses the diatribes of the .Ncw
York Tribune, and the Neu/ Orrthes -Delta
contributes its sarcasm to swell the torrent-of
calumny and scandal with which they fond
ly, but foolishly hope to hurl Walker from
the executive chair of Kansas. Meanwhile
the object of all this slang and fury-is quietly
but firmly discharging his official . duties ;
carrying out the instructions of the Adminis
tration, bringing order out of chaos, and' re
storing peace-to that hitherto distracted Ter
ritory. The truth is, that Mr. Buchanan, in
strict accordance with his inaugural pledge
to fairly and impartially maintain the prin
ciples of.the Kanias-Nebraska law, has idea
tified‘iimeelcand his agents with neither of
the parties that, by frequent angry collisions,
have threatened Kansas with civil war. The
pro:alavery partisans are disappointel and
soured, because fidelity to the non interven
tion principle secures Kansas to freedom ; the
shriekers are chagrined because by virtue of
the very doctrine they have so- lustily con
demned, another Free State is soon to b.
added to the Union. Gentlemen extremists
of both sections,. your continuous fault find
ing and abuse cannot alter the result ;.events
are rapidly establishing the truth of the as

pro-Slavery nor anti-Slavery, in the usual
partisan sense of those terms. It will adhere
rigidly to strict constitutional principles, con

the preservation of rational liberty.

Wilmoes Boost
Wilmot's excessive vanity is at once ludi
crous and revolting. To illustrate': In his
cent speech at Philadelphia, he indulged in'
•that stile boast, which the periple of this
county have heard him frequently make, ex
pressing the conviction that the Demo ratio
party would delight to receive him back in
to its ranks; that he would be regarded as
an orthodox democrat, if he would consent;
to "catch a tigger,"•dtc. Now we care not
to dissipate this iplenaing illusion of the faith
less and demoralized being, whoseseif conceit
prompts him to
. tittO utterances ; but we are
firmly convinced that his belief in this re
spect, is " the baseless fabric of a vision;"
the carefully nurtured result of an ardently
cherished, but flickering hope. The man who
pollutes his judicial robes in the Philadelphia
.groggeries, in order to captivate a. city. Tab-
I4e, would not be likely to shrink from the
performsuee of any task that would gain fOr
him the approbation of the - party in power.
The man who breaks faith with a friend, or a
political association, should avoid " all refer
ence to hisconssienceor sense of honor ; such
rekrencti might awake nopleasanzetleclions
and provoke annoying veminiseinces. 'Our
opinion is that Dahl Wilmot might hunt
" niggers" to the ,be alaferial diminution df
his corpulency ani the , gratification of his
passion for tnischif and misery, without at
tracting the faroable .notiofs of any political

cause in that distant Territory. Not a single
member of the National House of Represeu-
tativei is to be elected this fill. The choice
of a person to represent the State in the Sen
ate of the United . States, does not
_devolve
upon the Legislature t 6 be chosen. Thus the
whole, is narrowed into so Small a compass
that. by no • possibility can the interests of
either the pro or anti-slavery parties in Kan
sae be Affected by the result._ The wrongs
which either perty in Kansas claims to hare
suffered nt the hands of their opponents can
not be redressed upon the soil of Pennsylvanis.
They must be made a local issue in the Terri
tory where the people are anonainted with
LUC facts, and do not have them second

occurrences in order to enhance their value

of the organization. The doings of this class
of men in the last Congress is still fresh in the
recollection of all. So bold and shameless
were they in pushing forward their scheme
of plundering the public treasury, that even

were, obliged to desert; • t them and denounce
their acts. • The Cotrimitteaiof enquiry ap
pointed by Mr. Bssas. a - .Black Republican

make a point from which the friends of an

better than any set up in the distant plains of
bleeding Kansas.
This is the history of Black Republicanism

cendaticy.
The 4ucdess of the Democratic party has
always been a raysteiy tp the Opposition.
They have tried in vain to understand it, and
have ascribed it to every iinaginatla cause
but the true one. Changing their tactics
with their principles, every few years, to at
tack it 'on' what-they conceive to be the weak
hide, they find that noble old organization
fully armed at all points to repel them, and
their fond anticipations of victory blasted by
disastrous defeat after defeat, addee to the
record of their repulses.
When the Know -Nothing organization
the growth , of a night—overwhelmed the De
mocracy, defeated Biome, and elected Pot-
LOCK by a 'Majority of thirty thousand, leav
ing but a handful of Democrats in the Legis
latu're to tell that such a party ever had an
existence, the Opposition were flushed with
their temporary triumph to an unwonted 'de
gree. The least enthusiastic imagined that
the days of the Democratic party were num
bered, and that it could never : lift its head
above the wave that had engulfed it. now
little they knew the spirit that animated the
Democracy I Even in that dark day, not a
true Democrat but felt within him that his
party was really triumphant in the midst of
its disasters, and that its inberent vitality, de
rived from just principles,' would yet assert its
power in the overthow of its enemies.
When the Black 'Republican party witnes
sed the intense excitement whicbspread like
a sudden and devouring flame over the north
ern States, they imagined they saw the Demo
cratic party in its death struggle, spending
its energies in vain against the array of fanati
cism they hadinvolsed toits destruction. At
last, they fondly believed, they bad fonnd the
vulnerable, int of assault, and that the par
ty which so long baffled their efforts, was
about, to fall beneath the blows of a furious
fanaticism. The result was another bitter
disappointment. While the Black Republi
can ranks received daily accessions from the
Democracy—weak branches torn of from the
parent tree by the fury 'of the storm--the true
men of all parties rallied under the Democrat
ic standard, and emerged under itsamplefolds,
into the light of the greatest, the most eon
ous -victory that the Democratic party ard the
Constitution itself ever gained.
Still failing to see the justice of 'its princi.
piles constitutes the immoveable rock on which
the Democratic party stands so firmly, the
Opposition made the w touriding discovery
that Democratic ascendency was mainly due
to the patronage dispensed.by the Canal Com
missionevs en the Main Line, and that if this
great source of Democratic victories was once
removed, the sceptre would depart from the
Democratic party, and . Davin WlLmot be
elected Governer of Nnusylvania.
We Lave been told that the Main Line
was the great. prop of the Democratic, party,
without which it would fail with a sudden
era-h. Soule of the Opposition presses were so
fully persuaded that this was a ttuth, that. they
almost expected the party would disband the
moment that the Main Line went into the
handset the Penn , ylvania Railroad Company.
Well, the Main Line, has been sold and trans
revel The power of the Canal 'Commission
ers over it has ceased, and ,their patronage
ended. We lock in vain for its disastrous ef
fects upon our party. General Nesse. is
nosy stronger than he was before the sale,
and he is growing in stength daily. DAVID
.Thstor is no stronger than he was before the
Main Line was divorced from the State, and
he is manifestly growing weaker and weaker, -
day by day. Even his supporters disconso
lately admit that notliirg can save him , not
even a renewal of the Kansas excitement.
We never have regarded the Main Lino as
ihs source of strength to the Democratic part
ty. On the contrary, patronage growing out
of its management by the Canal Comnasssion
era has rather been an element of weakness.
For one successful applicant for office there
were half a dozen disappointed—bitter and rra,
sengefully.di.appointed ones. There unsuc
tes ful applicants and their sympathisers did
more injury to the party than could be coun
terbalanced by the one man comfortably in
stalled in office. They were the outs, and the
outs are proverbially more active and ener
getic than the ins. It belongs to human na
ture that revenge is more powerful than grati
tude.
The effect of this was manifested in those
Counties through which the Main Line runs.
The strongest Democrats Counties in the,State
are those through which the Main Line does
not pass, and the Counties in which we made
the greatest gains at tha last election aro en
tir&ybeyond its influence. The great move
ment tbroughott all the Eastern Counties of
the . State in favor of Mr. 8u1di1 . 4.N.4,11, and the
corresponding defections in:WitNorthern and
Western Counties, were the result of causes
with which the patronage on the Main Line
have not the most remote connection. It is
simply absurd to suppose that it had.
No, Messrs. Black Republicans ! you will
have to seek for some other reason for Demo
cratic ascendency. It may not be apparent
to you, but it belongs to the consciousness of
every Democrat to know that the prosperity
of his party is due to the firmneess with
which it adheres to correct principles. The
Democracy intend to demonstate to you that
they . can elect a Governer without the Main
Line, by a larger majority than they have ever
beep able to elect one with the Main Line, be
cause he-is the representative of true Consti
tutional principles. which have an unshaka
ble bold upon the people of Pennsylvania.

Tus INDIA TRADE.—The Boston Transcript
states that the India trade of that citv,whichy

months, has revived, under the influence of
the news of the India troubles. Nearly all

some profits to importers. The receipts of
merchandise at Boston - from the various In

quantity and value the - importations of any
previous year. A large number of ships are
now due.
