To the Democracy of Denn'a.
In a letter dated Washington, Dec. 14th 1943,
"to the Democrats of Pennsylvania," the Hon.
JAMES BUCHANAN declines the nomination for the
Presidency. Reason—He could not get it. nem
are rumors that it was the result of "bargain and
salt" between hint and Van Buren, the former hav
ing made over the democracy of Pennsylvania to
the latter until 1848, when it is to revert to the do
nor again, together with all the democracy of the
Union, or an much of it as is at the disposal of Mr.
Van Buren. This presents a nice legal question,
in tide shape: Governor Porter "sold" the de
mocracy of Pennsylvania to John Tyler in 1843,
and subsequently Mr. Buchanan "tramfaTcd" it
to Mr. Van Buren Can Mr. Van Duren take
I any thing under this transfer? Opinion—He can
take nothing but a defeat.
