From tht I'hilidtl;ihia 'Spirit of tin Tirr.ss "J
PARTIZA.N CONSPlRAtlL.
On Tuesday 1st the, Pennsylvaniiiti enter
tained it readers wilti snother of its myste
rious giving out upon the Tariff. Thisprcu
liar and disinterested article in nil cloaked tin
tier the cover of an assullbpon General Cam
eron. Two things have recently e.xctted
tome surprise and wonderment in the minds
cf the few readers who toil through the emp
ty but noisy leaders of tins antiquated lady.
One it the ferocious a virajjo-like spirit with
which It assail General Cameron, and the
other its sudden and unexpected desertion of
ihe principle involved in theTarifTof '46, and
its no less urdetit nflaction for the principle
of frotection for Pennsylvania' great pro
sluois, Coal and Iron.'- '
, This, we s.ir, lint excited surprise, but we
should say not to many not to those who
know tho history of the paper the history of
those who are connected with it; who know
hovr it was established under its present man
agement, and how it has been plucked up
from diowning to answer th purpose of as
base a partisan conspiracy as was ever set on
foot.
. The paper is not what it professed to be
It is not an independent Democratic paper. Ii
is Ihe organ of a faction. It is the property
of the men who Inml it money, and who use
it at a medium of s'.smlerius and reviling
their betters, and us a show bill to placard
their own public virtues!
Now and then it is put to uses no less mean
but more dishonest. It is used to puff up
some new scheme worthy of Congressional
patronage, professedly for the public good
realy for private profit ; ostensibly sincere and
disinterested, secretly from motives of per
sonal gain gain fiom the public treasury, to
be acquired from the money of the people
gain without a consideration, tewaul without
labor.
We know the public here known tho char
acter of this print, and value it nenrdingly ;
but it is the public abroad who are deceived
and misled. It is the democracy in Ihe inte
rior who are betrayed by it, and it is to warn
them now and then we lurii aside from on'
many other pursuits and take notice of this
otherwise iiisijjnifieeiil and powerless paper.
It is nut now thieo mouths since its lolteiing
steps towards the grave its own hands had
cooped out, were arrested by ihe kind chari
ty of mire generous alms giver.
A meeting of its ''black spirits and white,
red spirits and gray," assembled to inspect its
morbid anatomy and see if some new life
could not be imparted to its decaying mem
beta and willed (acuities. Mr. Buchanan was
accidentally present, and generously offered to
forget a debt it owed lo him and which he
never could collect for who ever knew him
to forget a debt 1 except, perhaps, tho debt of
gratitude he owed In the men who lifted him
from the valley of the shadow of death of
Federalism into the fullness of the open day
of Democratic honor and distinction.
Mr. Buchanan w;ts then accidentally there
tho dear confidential fi tends of Mr. Buch
anan weie there, and they were nil called in
to uid this decayed journal of decayed office
hunters an patriots o.il uf place to aid it in
its soie need, save it ftoni death ami save ils
dear Editor, the peculiar friend of Mr. Buch
anan, from the necessity of Kmisrnlion. Yes,
this is true the gn at or;;au of Democracy,
The purest of the pure, tlm faithful among Ihe
faithless, had boitowed it last stiver and now
stood like a mendicant c-alliit3 out for the love
of Liberty, for the Jove uf Buchanan, lend us
a shilling '.
But, sincerely, it is a sorry thing lo see Ihe
public thus misled and a gieat parly thus
abused and betrayed by I lime who wear
''broad phylacteries'' and lo whose keeping
are committed the advocacy of ils cause and
the vindication of its nubia faith. The indus.
Irious working men, the active men of busi
ness, and the professional men, who go to
I heir daily occupations, and have their mind
filled with other thoughts than knavish quil.

and mighty word, but who give a beggarly
performance lo their deluded believers.
Practical every day sail of people think
that such a paper as that is, honestly cjpres.
ses what it honestly believes ; but those who
know the motives that prompt every line and
letter that appears within ils columns, know
thai it is the organ of a faction and not of A
faith. The lecent treachery of the IVnnsvl
vanian, upon the subject of the tariff", is a
plain and simple lab., easily told, and easily
understood ; and it is ihe purpose of this ar
ticle to tell it
Mr. liacha nan left Philadelphia as myste
riously nt he itccideiilly arrived, lo be present
at the medical consultation over Ihe body of
hit organ. A few weeks went by, and then
ho came again, not privately anil secretly,
but openly, a,iJ with a loud shout of the par.
Uixn few, who were prepaied to receive
him. We say ihe few-for Ihe Democials
f this county have never believed in the pu
rity of old Federlists.
He arrivJ-he was feted, dined, tupped,
and visited. As all illustrious strangers me,
ha was inken to various plaees of publio in
terest he wat carried lo Giiard College, the
Water Works, and Ihe office cf the I'eunsyL
vanian '. We havo heard it suggested, that
at he was on a tour lo this County, to stair,
votes here, lo nominata himself for President,
and denounce Geueial Cass at tlm next Read
ing Convention, that it was a pily they did
not take him to the Lunatic Hospital or the
Asylum for the Blind !
For well nigh a whole month he tarried
here, and witat was he engaged at 'Sueing
ihi!' isiting eld friends! Xo ; but
chaining, intriguing and electioneering, 0
full down tsuio who were high hi 4,he aflec
tioiis of the party, ami upon whose ruin he
hopes lo rise to power ai d authority. J'o
break ivn Gen. Cass-to M,de.rtui,u Mr.
I4tlatto influence the election for delegates
in., immune convention-, to ,traJ iu the
candidate fo' Judgeships to become ac
quainted with the county members for the
Legislature, and induce them to vote, for
Judge Jeremiah Black, who had been sent
her some weeks before to electioneer for
the high place of Senator, In n fashion that
would discredit candidate for township
constnble." All Ihis he was engaged in. We
know it. We know the men by nme with
whom he intrigued and with whom he bar
gained the men who were lo furnish the
delegates, and Ihe consideration, Ihe political
consideiation, they were lo receive. In due
lime we will tell thnt tale, srmrintr no mnnt
but spenking right out, that the Until may be
known. A stumbling block in the way of
these complotlet was Ihis question of the
TurilT. The dread was, and is, that the
members of the Legislature might feel thai
iheyowed something lo Gen. Cameron lor
his past vindication of the interests of Penn
sylvania. How was ihis lo be overcome !
That was the question ; and lo pet rid of that
difficulty it was resolved that Gen. Cameron
should be ussailed, abused and vitlified, even
in language thai was actionable, lie must be
put down, no mailer how much his own feel,
ings or Ihe feelings of his family and his
friends were outraged, still he must be put
down and handled like a political felon. Of
that, however, hereafter we will spenk.
Then some one was lo be sent lo Washing
Ion, to induce Ihe Soul hern members lo agiee
to modify ihe Tariff as lo coal and iron fuith
with, before Ihe election for Senator should
come off in Pennsylvania, so ns to lake the
question out of the canvass; anil lo Ihis end
a flatulent lilll'.' mull was despatched lo
Washington, big with the fate of l'ennsylva
ilia's Ctcsar ! He went, and perhaps while
there he learned thai Mr. Buchanan, as the
as the head of Mr. Polk's cabinet, was held
answerable by all the Northern and onihem
mon for the neglect of Pennsylvania in Ihe
tariff bill of 1846. He learned, while ihere,
that in bidding for Ihe Presidency, Mr. Buch
anan wat as willing Iheti to sacrifice his own
Stale for Ihe South, ns he has, since then,
been w illing lo jeopard the Union by his ilis.
reputable coalition with Jefferson Davis and
Ihe Southern ultras on the slavery question.
However, of that, loo, we will speak hereaf
ter.
The next plan was for the Pennsylvania!!
to change front, and advocate the ilocttine of
Protection, so ns lo secure that juiciest. T
attain lhi object nl that juncture, the coal and
iron men the U7u'g.?and Protectionists were
apoaled to. Yes, '.he Whigs the odious
Whigs, ns the Peiinjirnriimi would call them
were culled out lo aiil in tins ndventurei
and they answered to Ihe call, and five hun
dred new subsctibers were given lo that pa
per, procured for it by Ihe united efforts of
leading Whigs, heavy holders of railroad
slock, coal mine stock, and iron manufactur
ing company slock, ns the price of iis.npot
lacy fiom the tariff of MG lo the support of
protective interest and Whig pi iucipses. !
Here we have the reason, the whole renson
for Ihis Iraitotousdeserlion of the tariff of '.(ft,
and this new-born zeal of the Penrtsylvanian
for Ihe coal and iron inlersts of this State.
But Ihis is not the whole story 'his is but
one feature of Ihe gtea't plot which has been
brewing in this city during the past month,
and Ihe object of which was to trade away
principles, and sell the faith of paity, lo break
down good, and exalt ''bold bail nieu." We
know it all, and will hereafter expose the
whole of these confederates and their doings,
an we have here made known Ihe secielof
ihis partizan conspiracy.

also compromised matters by letting ofTboth
