The orator ■of bis etiemietf admire that !.e tfis "l.'i'.C-i and we know that he is in- not below mediocrity, or else some ol the Pti.nsyliianiarii ijoli are of vny questionable menial oahbre. Frazer was sound and intelligent on politieul "jtrln oiples w hen the great ninit fettered nru' pioved a blind -guide. When the tariff delusion awept Pennsylvania, as bigotry end sectarian animosity sweep it riow. ee looked .in vein for Buchanan to steed, ut end stein the tide of clamor Hh. position was that of a leader, and- the |Hiily fiom whom he had sought that posi tion with good light looked to him fos ilia mtticiiou and fearless action. In ilia back the "inteiiecl below mediocrity,!' had battle unaided, and in fuel em by the teachings of expediency iu our own party through (be friends of a great statesman's name. We came lo almost doubt our own principles on political economy, until a true leader /took the responsibility and showed the firmness and intelligence of a statesman. Dallas ca- ' red as little as Douglass Joes now when roeu talked of burning him in elfigy, nail he recks as little when those creatures now fawn around him and bespatter him with their prai.-o. *, VVa remember 100 the manly and int-lli gent defence of the consli ution and the Cm ion whiuh Crasser and ''common men'' like hi to took in defence of the compromise measures of JBso—in favor, of republican freedom—and agaiust the dangerous uri/to cratic heresy of colonising vassalage. Then again lie was right, while the Pennsyloanitn's great man was leaeliiug that Congress should and could legal.ze rlateiy" on one side ol the Missouri lipe and prohibit it on the oth er. Even ip this day of darkness- and trial be is antagonistic to the Democratic Jaciriuu of popular sovereignly, and we "cornmou men" of mediocre intellect muei grope ou way aloue iu the darkness. • Nor has Frazer, beeu loss faithful or intel ligent in his puny usage or discipline ttiuh in ilsprinciples. In (815 we turned with a tear in the eye aud a pang iu the heart from the violence dune to llie cause of tho peo ple iu the election ol Cameron to the Uni ted Slate Senate. IV e found intelligent men looking iu vain" for the leuder ol the paPy to justify its coi fideuce by a vindication ol that dicipline and organization which are essen tial to the success of any cause. Even then iho Pennqylvanian't nnii of despised men djoere intellect was tearless and -true, and, F(aznr taught the lesion.of truth which ma ny a hypocritical demagogue has since sto len lo crawl iplo a warm uest. We sincerely regret Fuzer's umi sural and vefwrlunala/msd association with Cuineron at this lime, and peihaps we might ul.iitn Ihe friendly right to chide him. But it is sure ly very late in the day for tho rcmsylvanian lo grow virtuous to puritanic strictness, and |0 reptove.the wantonness in Frazer of whiuh Buchanan was long since guilty- Ouo with out sin might cast these first stones at the offender against fidelity to party usage and discipline, but Ihe Pcnnsylimnion sbeulJ first look back a few years, and then nut quite so rashly despise the ' ma ills ui iuleligent charily." Its Dew editor has talent and fear lessness which wo iilmirc; and by many hotd blows at iho tlghi place is doing yeumuU service lo bis party. When Forney'sassnqja tion iB that' paper led him into an uuiurtv* nale error, because of his warm uliachment to Mr. Buchanan and his impulsive nature and strong feelings, wemale as liberal al lowance for the force of circumstances rtron get than human will, as we do now in the the case of Mr. Frazer. Ami when malice and envy nssailsd Forney, and alieinp'.uJ lo bound l.im drwr. because he had a proper and and aim in life, and stood it Ihe way of the plunderers, he nowhere found a more '/honest and sincere" vindication than at our heatt and hand. Of the unfortunate person ol difficulty between Frazer and Forney, we have never allowed either of them to say aughttous; and when we speak of them publicly, it is of their fixed public character. One rash act can destroy neither oi ihein ; " nor can any factions assailant of either onu gain any strength or credit for himself, un less His own history is more .pure and straight fhan'that of most men. . We regrgl that our friends of the Ptnn ryh-anian should revive unpleasant reminis censes by his allusion to Governor Biglar's associations in connection with the force of party principle against personal- feeling. In the cOnveiiiiou of 1848 thore was only one rtian who declared the nomination of tho Democratic candidate not binding, and went off with disappointment rankling in his heart to give aid and comfort lo the opposi tion. The Democratic candidate was defea ted, and its we were-the first in the Slate lo name him to tho public as a candidate, we kuow thai radical and true Democratic prin ciples would have lost nothing in bte elec tion-.

It has drove prj •es up to fever beat, and excited business o a most unnatural and morbid state. The mrreucy is diseased, and ciedit has betfn wild. Individuals ran into debt until llieir credit was exhausted. Tnen iliey formed Banks, and in ibis shape incurred new lia oHities. Next the state was made to strain svery nerve of credit, until it staggered Le :ieit*i its load of debt. The last expedient tus been to obtain municipal subscriptions, ind thus to saddle every county, city and Soroush with another burthen. And who is to p2y 1 By these expedients, vrbperty is tnoilgaged four limes over; and me debt is taxed lu pay another. The ino't lidUal has the four debts to pay ; and as lay day approaches credit contracts on the •arho ratio as the demands for money in •rease. Piices are unnatural, and mutt tome down. Only the sound riewa of onr government tnd the wondrous influx of wealth from Dalifortiia have delayed the day of reckon ing thus long. In New York and the Wes ern State* the erase is already beard, The 'roe banking system iu those State* allowed iredibio serve again as the ba-ia of credit,, and tiits offered double faeiliies for gelling into debt. The sore festered faster and. the soonyr bursts open. , In Penaylvenia we must eitUare the day of suffering a little lon ger, but the cure will come in due tune.
