We have never known tho Democratic
party moro thoroughly united than it is
now in support of Henrv D. Foster for
Governor. From all the counties we hear
the eamo encouraging report, that tho par
ty is united to a man, and determined to
aehieve an old-fashioned victory in Octo
ber, which will bo the case as sure as the
election comes round, Tho democratic
party in Pennsylvania is united that is a
certain fact and tho Democratic party
has never been beaten when united. Our
opponts know this, and henco their des-

We need net inform our readers that
the New lork Legislature, which has just

to vote, on a perfect equality with white
men, is largely Republican. They arc

The Republican party is a revolt against
the Government and institutions of the
United States. It profascs to offer new
motives to action, new rewards for service,
Rna new inducements to exertion. The
rule of this action is not what is right, but
what will anneal most successfully to the
passions of tho multitudes. It uses the

Iiu hoped they would pause and coi.sidcr
whether the would bo consulting tha in
terests of the country in adopting the
measure. He was glad that thus early in
the session a prominent member of the
Whig party had brought forward a mcas
ure that would show tho people how far
they wire willing to protect their interests
while they would exempt from taxation
wealthy incorporated companies, and im
pose its burdens on the industry of tho
country. He wanted to know, and Penn
sylvania wanted to know, if there was a
disposition in that House to strike down
her most i.npoi taut interests, while the, in
terests of other portions of the Union were
left untouched ; and ho wanted the voteou
this bill to decide that question. As he
observed before, he trusted there was no
dippoiition in any part of tho Uouso 'to
sanction a measure such as this. Had tho
introducers of this measure given, or could,
they give, any reason why railroad iron"
should come in free of duty, in preferene,'
to cotton or wollen goods? Had they
given any reason why it should come in'
free in preference to cotton bagging ? Ho
knew that he might listen iu vain for au
good reason that could be given for th'o.
passage of this bill. It might be that this
question would rouii up in ;i wnn.l l.ill
