John Brown has been thoroughly cannonized by the republican politicians in Western Pennsylvania. His photographs have been sold by the hundreds, and the faithful are talking about naming the new cannon recently cast here the “John Brown” gun. They pretend not to sympathize with his act of invasion, but extol the man to the skies,and would have us all believe that he is a model man, notwith- standing his treasonable invasion of the rights of the Southerners. Many of them say he was the man of the right kind of pluck, but regret that he turned his energy in that direction. At the same time, these republicans foster and encourage the fanatical spirit that led Brown on, by circulating extensively books of the stamp of Helper's “Im- pending Crisis’ and Seward’s “Irrepressibie Con- flict” speech, ‘be. latter has been scattered ia. aluretuet ron, whilst the “Impending Crisis” is being pur- chased by republican Cameron clubs and sent all through the rural districts. Aside from those scat- tered by the clubs, the newa agents are reaping quite a harvest out of them. One newsboy of this city has already sold uprratts of 700 copies, and bas thus far been unable to keep enough on Land to meet the demand. From all parts of the State the intelligence is coming in that the “Com- pendium” is being sold rapidly. In this locality the leaders in the Cameron interest and his avowed advocates are busily engaged circulating Brown's likeness and the “Impending Crisis.” et these same men declare themselves to be Union men, who respect the rights of their Southern brethren. | A queer kind of respect; it is like adding fuel to the | fire and increasing the flames, instead of allayiag | it. Instead of denouncing Brown and his deeds, they hold him up before their chiidren and the youth of the country as being a nobie man, one whose bravery is worth imitating. These pre- tended Uuion lovers go forth, with a picture of Brown iv one hand and Helper’s.Book in the other, and thus talk with the citizeas, urgiug them torally around the republican candidate, offering them that as their platform. This is not charac- teristic of this section of the State aloue, bat I am informed from reliable sources that the republi- cans gre scattering their kind of doc 3 broad- cast throughout the State, and atthe same time laughing at the South for feeling so uneasy about it.

The Cameron Club at this place are hard at work diaseminating Cameron documents throughout the State, and, with the assistance of the General him- self, are moving heaven and earth to secure a unant mous delegation for him from this State—a task which they are finding puts them to their wits to accomplish. The State Central Committee, at their seasion in Philadelphia, in November lat, fixed the mode of electing the delegates to the National Convention. They decided that the Senatorial delegates should be elected by the State Couven- tion, on the 22d of February, and the Representa- tive delegates from each Congressional district, ‘This was a triumph of the Read interest and the opposition to Cameron. The General, being aa ex- perienced manager of Conventions, considered his chances better to elect by a State Convention than hy the people in each Congressional district. The decision of the Committee was therefore consider. ed a triumph against the General, and upset his plans for presenting an onbroken front in the Na- tional Convention. The success of the Read interest in the Committee has not by any means settled the mattes. Cameron bas no notion of thus being deprived of a portion of his strength, but is industriously at work to overthrow the plan of the committee. The faithful have received in. structions that the State Convention must, at all hazards, elect the entire list of delegates. Taking the cue from their leader, they are now indus triously at work laying ‘their wires fo accomplish this point, and if be secare a majority of the Con- yentien, no attention will be paid to the action of the committee, but the delegates will be elected and instructed for Cameron. This action is severe- ly denounced by the Read interest, who have se- cured the delegates from Phi adelphia to the State Convention, and there is a ie of a lively time at the Convention on the 22d. The frieuds of the General are endeavoring to keep their plans quict upon this point. None but those who can be relied upon are let into the secret; but as a!l political traps will ia time be ex- posed, so has this gamo of the General's reached the f his opponents, who have commenced their operations to counteract the movement. But as the Ceneral’s forte is in managing conventions, he will undoubtedly carry his pointia the face of the committee. To him itis all important, for it is the only way that be can @btain the entire delega- tion from the State. Should they be elected by Congressional districts, from six to seven in the eastern part of the State will be against him, which wil destrey bis chances for nomination—a point which he is now bending everything, and devotin; his dreams by night and day, to accomplish. Loo out for lively tines at the State Convention, for the guns of the General have all been loaded, and his entire force brought to bear upon this one oint. o~ Two or three of the papers in the interior are now threateuing to pull dowa the Generai’s uame, after having it at the head of their papers for the last six months. The editor of the Tyroue Starhas already stated in his paper that unless Cameron denies having sympathy with the abolition fanatica, the “irrepressible conflict” of Seward, and the “ Impending Crisis,” he aballnot only pult dowa his name, but denounce him. Cameron's home organ, throvghout the entire excitement of the John Brown raid in Virginia. was filled trom day to day with abuse of the Virginians, and labored to excite feelings against them. This course has naturally groused the conservatism of the opposition jour- nals, who have denounced Brown and his course, from the first commencement of the outbreak. Not- Withstauding the sympathy for Brown in the north- Teand sein s “pag the interior aud the eastern part of the State that denoance him iu the most bitter terms, and will give their eupport to the democracy before ey will to any one that even inclines toward the endorsement of Brown. The course of his home organ, which is supposed to speak by authority, has placed the Genera) ag secretly endorsivg the Harper's Ferry invasion, Thus it will been seen that political matters in the Presidential line are waxing warm in the Key- stone State, and Cameron, whose friends have been boasting that there was no opposition to him, is isms eae of nao ‘ - he nomination of General Scott by the Uni meeting in New York created asvaeitionent here, and gaye to the Presidential managers de- cidedly long faces. Had the movement been promptly followed up by similar meetings in other localities, it would have been followed by a furore in the central part of this State without parallel since tfe Harrison movement in 1840. Old line whigs, conservative democrats and republicans were seen talking together upon the nomination, and all asserting that is a ticket “that we will sup- port; “Give us Scott and Houston and we will beat the world.” The conversation was marked with more enthusiasm than has been known npoa any political sulject for a number of years. Let there be a movement of the people, aad Scott and Houston fairly bronght upon the race course, un- trammelled by any political party machinery, and it would receive @ response from this Stafe that | would carry everything before it by storm, aad completely shelve the trading politicians that ave now trying to control affairs in this State. No ane movement is dreaded more by the party politi- cans in this State than a movement in favor of the great Paciticator. No person in the nation has | to-day stronger sympathies with the masses than has Lieutenant General S2ott. The cry of his be- ing too old is answered by the long and successful journey just performed in behalf of his country, and for his country’s good. There is no one movement that could be made that would so effectually break up the party lines, and place in the back- ground politicians that are trying to work them- selves into office at the expense of the peace and prosperity of the country. They dread it, and fear & movement of that kind, which’ will carry with it the conservative portions of all parties. Cameron, or any other politician, has no foothold in Penn- syigania that can stagda movement of this kind, but would wilt before it as a plant in the scorching rays of the summer sun. The bare mention of the name of Scett has sent a thrill amongst them all. Furtber movements in that direction will set them all howling; for with it they would see an uprising of the masses that would take from these profes- sional party traders their political food and stock in trade.
