INTERESTING FROM PENNSYLVANIA. The Campaign in the Keystone State-- Our Danville Correspondence. Danvite, Sept. 29, 1855. —Schuylaill County and the Candidates for Congress— ‘This place is located upon the north branch of the Sus- quebanna river, and is thecounty town of Montour coun- ty, in the tron region of Pennsylvania, The county was erected out of pagts of Columbia in 1860, and is, in terri- tory, one of the smallest in the State. It, however, con- tains great mineral wealth, aud is rapidly improving. ‘The deposits of coal and iron ore are inexhaustible and in- calculable. Timber is also very abundant; the water power is sufficient for every possible purpose; living is cheap, the land being productive, thickly setiled and well cultivated; ‘and all the elements are here for the erection, ultimately, of one of the most prosperous manufacturing districts in ‘This town is the seat of the well known Mon- tour iron works, which manufacture most of the railroad tron made in this country. They consist of three fur- maces and two rolling mills, and other neceasary shops, ‘and are situated so conveniently to the ore and coal, and to each other, that they work to the greatest possible ad- vantage of their owners. They were built several years ago, and have had varying fortune. Some months since they were involved in sundry embarrassments, bat the present has been a prosperous season. They are reliev- ed of their difficulties, and are realizing a handsome protit for the company owning them.

Many eminent speakers were engnged, and extensive preparations were made, in an- ticipation of a tremendous outpouring of the people, who were to be enlightered on the beauties and biessings of slave extension, filibusteriem, and the benefits to be ex peeted by the reduction of wages to a “ jimmy” a day. ‘The meeting was eminert!y successful as to the number of speakers, bat the bone ana sinew. somebow or other, @id got seom to appreciate the “feast of reason’’ pro- pared.

Our Philadelphia Correspondence. PHILADELPuLA, Oct. 2, 1856. Letter from a Friend to Old Buck. Ttold you how it would be, Uncle. The thunder of unrestrained voices for freedom now rings in your ears; the people of this State are waking up to their interests, and the popular cry is heard in your own hamlet. You look round you, amazed, and ask what it all means. Why this coldness, this want of enthusiasm in our party? Why this voice for Fremont and freedom now sweeping the State? You ask of your friends; and your friends, hungry spoilsmen and whiskey drinking politicians of the Forney stamp, say it is—all gammon. Uncle, these fellows are Moors, and. like the Moors of Barbary, not to be trusted while plunder is at hand. You have, Uncle, inherited a wisdom denied to thousands of your fellow men, and yet you seem not to have comprehended the truth that it is dangerous to fall among rogues, You for- get that you gave yourself over to the Moors, and even now, though you have the strongest proof to convict, you refuse to believe the Moors deceiving you. Had you remained James Buchanan, the honest son of Penusylva- nia—bad you even remained the cold, timid, undecided and somewhat open politician you were known to be, then the people of this good old State had preserved their respect for you. That, privately, you were a good old man, weak and timid in action, but strong in political con- celts, here constituted no objection to you. Indeed, had you stood fair upon an honest platform of democratic princi- ples, the good people of Pennsylvania would have been found ready to lend a band in getting you into that com- fortable halfway house (the White House) tor which you have bad such a longing. But you seld yourself to the Moors, Uncle; as I told you, the people of this State have nothing in common with the order, and regard in tne most unfavorable light the fact that they should have sought here an instrument for their knavery. The peo- ple ot Pennsylvania, who bave been taught and continue to hold most dear the beautiful truths of life, liberty and law, are pained at seeing you the willing instrument of men who have proved themselves recreant to these great principles. Hence this voice for freedom and, Fremont; ence this voice for reform now sweeping the State. Only # few months ago, Uncle, you thougnt you nothing more to do than lean dack in your easy chair at Wheatland, twirl your thumbs, treat your friends to old Bourbon, and, when the time came, find yourself carried amidst music and rejoicing into the White House. How changed the scene now! Consider, Uncle, what you might bave been, what gratitude you owe to destiny for mak- ing you even what you are: and, though you are the “honored son of Pennsylvania,’ how little she owes you for having sold yourself to the ene. mies of her principles snd prosperity. You sold your. self to the Moors; with a submissive amile you acknow ledged yoursef a mere mess of cream in the churn of the plunderers; you admitted you were nothing more than a very soft plank in the hard pine of the Cin- cinpati platform. What a humiliating whimsey! Penp- tylvania’s honored son, without an opinion ot his own! Weak avd facile, you looked upon the Moors with dreamy eyes, leit grateful tha! they accepted you asa means to tbeir ends, and imagined there was nothing more to do, Shade of Forney! ls there no light in Pennsylvania that will shine brighter in the councils of the nation’ Or is abe forever to remain one hundred years behind the age, furnishing only such willing tools as the elave. driving democracy need for a Your recora, Uncle, is Kvown up to a certain beyond few not generally known, but which it would be well st this moment to make known. You were sent to England in the summer of 1853 to represent us at the Court of St..James. Taere you were received cordially by the prear, by the people, by the court. There was abou; you aa air of dignity, heightened by your snowy ocks, Which attracted very general attention, br you no end of admirers, and ai lepgih caused you to bighly esteemed ip very good society, where you were beld to be the exact pattern ofa Lord Chancellor. This, n England, where personal appearance is a strong fea ther ip the cap of a diplomatist, was an excelleat point. ‘Then you gave it outtbat your first duty would be that of bringing the Central American question to a speedy tettiement. This was hailed with feelings of joy. The people of England were ripe for it; the Cabinet viewed 4 tbe Central American question as « nuisance it would gladly get rit of, aud every man in this country (peddling Politicians excepted) would have ad cepted the consummation with applacse. Bat what did you dor First, you sought to make capital of the breeches question. Even im that you were too timid to come bodly out: you strove by paltry means—means unbe- coming & politician, much less a statesman—to create @ prejudice in your favor. And when the Lord Chamber- jain, Bot to be outdone, and fully coguizant of the means you Rp nan on | to your aid, iaformed you that his royal mistress had granted permission for you to appear at Court in whatever you eaw fit, and whon tho simolicit of your democracy ought to have beet ised, you back into a love of plush singularly at variance with ir profersions, Bancrott, Everett and Lawrence had done much to elevate the character of the American Le in London, but neither of them had evinced that love of liveries which, Uncle, characterised your administration. You charged the position 4 minions. There may be som> truth in the charge, for it is well known that you were but a piece of pompous lumber in their hands. Well, when the music of the breeches ;vestion had died away, having left you somewhat popular with the press and people, you then set about digging away the pillers ‘over dinner tables) of poor Pierce’s popularity. , in your eyes, was no statesman. Uncle, this was not manly of his representative. What would one in Washington think of the representative of Great Pritain, who would eetay to damage the character of her Majesty over a dinner table? It weuld, at least, betray a weak nese—a sad waat of that dignity which so befits a statesman Then, as if the courtesies of social life had not been sufficiently secured to you, there commenced a retailing of that precious love story with which the people of this country (thanks to Forney) ba I pai minded man, it hed well nigh drawn tears eyes. That it created no little sympathy in your beball, ia a well known fact, but whether t becometh a states- man to traffic in his love aillictions, is « question. A Pennsylvania statesman may regard ‘it in a favorable light, ‘but what would be thougnt of lord Palmerston were be to enter upon the ‘new dodge" of retailing that ‘ttle Jove affair of bis (and Palmerston is rich with real romance, while yours is dull and stupid) asa means to the carrying out of some great measure? With Mi dover nce to you, Unele, I must think he would be writen down a very shallow man. You were told, Uncle, that this love story would damage the reputation of a ttatesman, which you aspire to be. For myself, 1 con- fees I was not a little surprised when I saw it gettiag out, ba fresh as new, but &. little curtailed, ever here.” The story went in England that you, having got over the shock, bed sworn to die ike the fowers—in profitiess #weetness: that is, #0 far as woman's charms were con- cerned. The home story, abridged to suit circamstances, and intended only for heme consumption—thangs to For- pey—said nothing about the dying, and thas saved the tears of masy a foriorn maiden.
