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-. We do not complain that Bigler fail

The spirit of speculation and extravagance
ms demora'lized business and putille'inttfg"*
ity to an nlarmitig extent. 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.
