fOTHE DEMOCRATS-OF PENN
SYLVANIA.
Felloui-Cilizcns: Tho Undersigned, n
committee appointed by a Democratic meet
ihg held al Harrisburg, on the 23d day or
March last) trust that tlioy need not apolo
gise Tor addressing you, at this time, on a
lsubjent which may uo regarded ns ono in
"which we feel a dommon interest. Our
State our own glorious and beloved
Pennsylvania which has been first among
the foremost in advocating and sustaining
Democratic measures and defending the
rights of tho people against tho encroach
ments and usurpations of federalism
"which has, on all occasions, manifested o
patriotism as pure as it was disinterested--that
elate possesses' political claims which
wo believe the present to be the proper time
for asserting, and it is to this point that wo
icspectfully ask permission to direct your
attention.
Wo have spoken of tho patriotism of
Pennsylvania as being puro and disinterested
land tho record of her past history establish
es the truth of our assertion. From the
earliest organizi lion of the government, in
all party conflicts and whenever principles
have been contended for, she has been found
in the thickest of tho fight, combating
warmly, nobly, devotedly, for tho triumph
of tho cause of democracy, to which she
originally plighted her faith, and to which,
amid all vicissitudes, sho has remained
firmly attached. The dark and trying hour
of the revolution saw her sons pour forth
their life-blood in defence of civil and reli
gious liberty tho gloomy "reign of terror"
showed her, with characteristic patriotism.
guarding the ramparts of individual rights
against Executive usurpations; (he contest
between the older Adams and iho patriarch
of democracy, Thomas Jefferson, found her
Btanding, as she always stood.tho champion
of the sacred principles of unalloyed repub
licanism; and, last, though not least, tho
great conliict with tho "money power"'
that conflict which threatened, through tho
influence of British gold; greater dangers to
the liberties of the people than tho power
of British bayonets could ever effect found
lier laithfuf to the constitution, untirine in
lier zeal, and true to tho ptoud motto of
viriuo, Jwoerty ana independence," which
stands inscribed in letters of living light
upon ner uanner.
No Democratic President of the United
Stales has over been chosen without tho
concurrence (and aid of Pennsylvania.
Conspicuous, as sho ever has been, for her
devotion to the Union and its best interests;
her aclivo. exertions her united vote have
olways been given in her favor of shielding
and protecting that Union, by placing at its
V ietner the ca'ndidato'lor ifie (JhYefMaff.
ietiacy belonged to the East or the West;
tho North or the South, was noughr to her.
All that sho desired; was tc know that she
was true to tho principles which she rever
cd, and would bo faithful to tho great sheet
nnclor 01 our national security. Hers lias
been a Generous paiuolism which never
asked reward beyond tho consciousness of
doing riglit, nor permitted a taint or lingo
ol selfish consideration to dim its luslre.
None will pretend to deny that among
tier sons ttavo been touua men whose talents
would have adorned tho highest stations in
the nation, and whose patriotism, like liar
own; would have been firm in any crisis,
unfaltering in any emergency. But the
history of the country attests the fact, that
whilst all other sections of the Union have
been honored through their favorites, and
borno a prominent share in the administra
tion of our national affairs, Pennsylvania,
devoted as slio lias been to tho great princi
tiles of Democracv. imnortant as all ac
knowledge her to be as a member of the
great confederacy of Slates, and eminent
and worthy as her sons havo proven them
selves, has never since the formation of the
government, had the distinction conferred
upon her of seeing ono of those sons eleva
ted to n high post of national honor.
It is time, wo think, fellow-citizens, that
this reproacli should be taken away from us
time that tho good old Kcystono Stato
should assert that we believo to be her lion
est claims upon the justice of her sisters-
tune to aik that, when a National Conven
tion shall again assemble 'for tho selection
of a cindidate for the Presidency.one of her
eons mav bo chosen as that candidate and
thus find in the cordial response of our fe
low democrats throughout tho Union, a
prompt appreciation of Pennsylvania's ser
vice's, and n liberal and cheerful acknowl
odgcmciit of Pennsylvania s rights. I
The present is a most auspicious period
in which to press upon the Union the recog
mtion of tho claims of our commonwealth
becauso the democratic party has proven
itself, in its recent contest with federalism
to bo as overwhelming in its strength as it
over was in the palmiest days of ils power
anil because wo havo.in our lellow citizen
JAMES BUCHANAN, a candidate whom
wo can present to our fellow democrats of
other States, with confident pride, as wor
i v. in uvurv rcsuuci: in iHeir nnmirniinn
and support. Wo need not here specify, in
detail, tho quaiitications which that uistin
cuished son of our soil possesses. They
era familiar to all acquainted with our public
n Hairs throughout tho whole length and
breadth o5 tho land; and the fame of ou
Pennsylvania Senator, like his public ser
vices, is tho property ol tho wnolo coun
fy-
ln conclusion, fellow democrats,, we cal!
upon you to assist in the noblo work of as
eerting the political rights of our beloved.
Stale. We ask you to rally. avPennjvlva-
nlans.in 6no great and united effort to place
our commonwealth in a. proper position
before tho nation, and to insist upon an ac
knowledgementtardy though it be of
lurjusiiy nierueu claims, yvo asu you,
appreciating as you do, th, commanding
talents, tho unclouded reputation and the
unflinching patriotism of JAMES BUCHA-
INAIS to jainus in brincing his talents
and patriotism into exercise In a nobler
and moro exalted sphere, and to exert your
powers to do honor to a statesman whoso
private character is Bootless, nnu whose pub
lic career marks him as one of the biighlcst
of our nation's ornaments.
An opinion exists among our democtatio
friends, that it would be advisable to hold a
State Convention at Harrisburg, to givo an
expression to public sentiment on this inter
esting subject and the approadhing Eighth
of January has been recommended as a
suitablo timo for holding such Convention.
l ho day is ono consecrated in the affections
of tho American peoplo by many interesting
associations. It is one which has, on re
pealed occasions, been sot apait by the truo
hearted democracy of Pcnsylvania for a
similar purpose; and the undersigned re
spectively suggest to their fellow democrats
tho propriety of taking tho subject into
consideration,and adopting measures for the
appointment of delegates to represent their
wisuea.

Blindness, it is said in late foreign
journals, may be cured by Prussic acfd,and
weak eyes strengthened by ils application.
The acid should bo placed in a vial, and
vial placed upon the eyes; and so powerful
is, this subtle poison, that it produces ils
effect without any closer contact. Very
high expectations have been formed in
Europe of the benefits of this new reme
dy. A party of gentlemen recently left Savan

A NEW TRICK.
A lottery dealer in Broadway was im
posed upon a few days ago by soma
rogues, who palmed off upon him a counter
feit drawing of the Rhode Island Lottery of
Wednesday. Before the true drawing was
received, ono of the gang succeeded in
obtaining 615, and eloped. They had
their arrangements well made, and if by
any accident the Providence boat had been
detained beyond her usual hour, tho coun
terfeiters would havo mado a fine haul.
The drawing would havo given them two
or three three number tickelsl amounting
to some $300.
