The following :which we extract from
the Philadelphia American Sentinel, one
of the oldest party papers in the state is
in a similar tone. The Sentinel wishes to
anticipate the disappointment of the par
ty, by proclaiming before hand that the 3
will be unable even to rally a nominatinp
Convention. We regard this a sign o:
the times which cannot be mistaken. Fm
the word ''democrat" in this extract tlO
reader will please substitute locafoco, as
the Van Burenites ye t labor ander the sin
gular infatuation which leAds them to call
themselves democrnli, When in fact then:
is no democracy in their acts' whatever.
From the American Sentinel:
DEMOCRATIC' NATIONAL. CON
TION.
We ale strotigly inclined to believe,
from all the information within our reach,
that the Democratic Convention propo
sed to be held in Baltimore in will
prove a failure. The following ten States
.t is understood, have declined and will
decline to tend delegates to the Conven
tion, viz: Virgin;a, Massachusetts, South
Carolina, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee,
Louisiana, Illinois, Alabama,
.Missuttri.
It it said, that BUT EIGHT States
tlave tet chosen delegates to the Con
vention, and it not certain that they

crats are UNFAVORABLE td the elec

ported, even if nominated by a National
Convention. none. should be held,
HE KILL NO'F HAVE THE
SLIGHTETS CHANCE OF iSUC.
LESS. There is evidently a strong dis
position to give hint the go-by; arid hence
in a great measure, the unwil
lingness, on the part . of the democrats of
several of the states to go into a conven
tion.
Porter Reform.
The wretched management of the Phil
adelphia and Columbia Rail Road is
known to eyery one. The report of the
Committee of the [louse of Representa
tives, a majority of whom were of the
same political party, and acknowledged
that they went as far as they could, t
screen the bad management of the road,
in this respect, is coaclusive in showing
that if the same mismatbigement had ta
ken place under the late administration,
the State would have echeed with denun
ciations—while now we linr not a wind
f, , m the professed friends of reform.
Complaints are now only heard from the
transporters and travellers on the road—
these see and feel the vexation, delay and
-danger, they see the road lined by a host
idle, useless officers, feeding upon the
people, and they hesitate not to cry aloud
for reform. But their voice is disregar
d ,tl. The necessity of boisterous parti
zans en the public treasury is paramount
to the interests
. .ot the Commonwealth
That our readers may form some idea of
the management on this road, we will
state a few facts from the report of the
committee.
In 1838 there was one Supervisor on
this road. In 1839 there were lIIREE,
each receiving the same salary that the
one did in 1838.
"an 1838 there were tereloe foremen of
repairs on the road. In 1839 there were
SEVENTEEN, each receiving the same
compensation.
In 1838 the whole cost of repairs on
the road for the road for the year ending
Nov. 1. wa5525,974 54.
In 1339, from February Ist to Nov. 1
the cost of the repairs of tee road wa,
$89,936 28 showing an increase in nine
months of $14,0/O, or more than 11.4.1. F
of the whole cost of repairs in 1838
What think you of such facts, Farmers
and tax payers? How do you like: to
have the tax-gatherer knocking at your
doors and your pockets, to support such
prodigality and extravagance ? Or the
system of harrowing money to pay inter
est, and of increasing the state debt to re
ward political partizans in addition to
the above it is proper to remark that from
the report of Mr Nill, it is evident, that
the debt now due and unpaid on the Milk
delphia and Columbia rail road, are from
sixty to eighty thouland dollars Did
not these facts present a bcautitul and
consoling spectacle for the contemplation
of a tax threatened and a tax ridden peo.
pie, whose products aro without market
or coining down to the hard money stan
dar of Vat Buren, Buchanan &c Co.
Leel.
