that "down east," where AbOlitisnism dour•

with which he stands charged. Pennsylvania

a man who has been found wanting in all the'
qualities which constitute a wise and resolute
Executive. His weakness and vacillation, and
want of integrity have been made palpable by
the experience of the past two years during
which he has,failed to conduct our State affairs'
with becoming propriety, wisdom and firmness.
A man whose reputation depends, not Upon solid
virtues as a statesman, but buncombe speeches
and political clap trap—one who in the hour Of
our peril, when the invader was upon our bor
ders, sat craven and bewildered and suffered
himself to. be superseded by a military satrap
from New England, and the property of our
aflame to ho plundered, through. his misera•
ble imbecility and indecision. The party prin
ciples of,his supporters express no syllable of
devotion to the Constitution, they proscribe
with unmeasured terms, in the platform of
their adoption, all who may see fit to differ
with the, proeunoiamentos of a perjnred Presi-,
dent, and the higher law doctrines of New .
Englend fanaticism.
The Draft in Neer Wes*.
To-day the draft will be commenced in New

no longer, and of .course it will proceed. He
has made_ some concerisions, however, in the
way of lessening the wumber of men to be

described as a new California;
There is a general complaint among the

ing greatly In excess of the : demand. Baskets
of plums and excellent' peaches ara sold at
about two Genie a pound, which will scarcely

When he retreated on Sunday, the 14th of June,
