Full Text

The Democratic State Central Committee of Pennsylvania have issued an Address to their brethren of the United States, in relation to the next Presidency, in the course of which they give these gentle intimations:

"If the National Convention shall decide against our candidate, we cannot promise that our people will bear the decision without bitter mortification; for their State pride is thoroughly aroused. If the man they now offer is set aside, they have no hope of succeeding at another time. If Pennsylvania must wait until she presents a more unexceptionable man than Mr. Buchanan she must wait forever."

From present appearances it is probable Pennsylvania will have to wait—there is little chance of Mr. Buchanan receiving the nomination, and less of his election in the event he should happen to get it.
