If you so wish, you may publish the above. 1 There there! we did the business then! Who would have thought that the very first whose ire would be stirred by our in- , . i , i . i c. . traduction would be the celebrated b ates- man and venerable Captain, Jacob Hum- mtll, whose deeds, military aud legislative, we Lave heard, sung anl read of, ever siticc we were knee-high to an acorn ? He hav- ing drawn us over the political coals, we must take the dcfcnsive.aud enlighten him, .... , , e lf possible, in regard to our platform. id He speaks of the principles we mtend carrying out (meauing the Chronicle col- lectively, of course, aud not us individual- ly). We would inform the Captain that he is creatly mistaken if be thinks the , , , . i i i character of the p iper is to be changed. . , i j Our course has been, and is, entire m. e. en(cce; we do li't pretend to ntutrality we poke our quill in'o every subject that may seem to us fit; whereas, neutral means, to say nothing for or against anything or anvbodv. He must not think that the whole editorial control win ue given over io the junior; but we will be checkmated by more experienced writers of both the old political parties, aud consequently we can not eiDect or hone to " carry out our nrincinles. until we make eouverts of our seniors which, we fear, will be a rather tough undertaking. We can assure him , ,, ... , . , , f that the thnmide will, as heretofore, guc 'b "fair play will publish the nominations, resolutions, and platforms of the Demo- cratic, Whig, American, or any other par- ty that we may think important enough i National, State, or Couuty without fear, favor or affection : and will exhort all men to vote independent of party trammels or electioneering dictation. Thc Captain is in favor of " the Consti tution as our fathers made it ;" " Freedom of conscience," and other similar quota tions. We agree with him, and arc willing to extend the catalogue and embrace "Hail Columbia," "Fourth of July," i- , r, , ,, . . ankee Doodle, etc. But, we are at a loss to snow why he tries to saddle us upon other opinions. Give us fair play, Captaiu . ,. r , ,. ,, believe what we tell you, as well as expect us to credit your assertions. Four party, i .v . .i'ii i r and the party winch has opposed you for so many years, are in the habit of build- iug imaginary platforms, any thing but r, , I ... ,J , creditable la their materials, anl then pointing them out. as thc Atuericao party's code of principles. These platforms are r. v ' ' "u- a numcrous, but no two correspond, except in anticipation the hope of annihilatiu the American party, and catching its ad herents. The Captain says he is of foreign de scent, and his forefathers had a hand in America's struggle for freedom. We be lieve you, dear Captain ; now hear our story.

Pennsylvania, occupying as she does an important and proud position in thc sister hood of States, can not be indifferent to the policy and acts of the National Gov ernment. Her voice, potential for good in other days, ought not to be disregarded now. Devoted to the Constitution and the Union as she was the first to sanction, she will be the last to endanger the one, or violate the other. Regarding with jea lous care the rights of her sister States,she will be ever ready to defend her own. The blood of her sons poured out on thc many battle-fields of the Revolution, attests her devotion to the great principles of Ameri can freedom the great centre-truth of American republicanism.
