PENNSYLVANIA.
The action of the Democratic State Convention of Pennsylvania on Thursday last may be briefly stated thus: The Administration men, pure and simple, triumphed in the organization by ten majority, according to Forney’s paper, the Philadelphia Press. They helped themselves to all the contested seats by a similar vote. They took three of the four delegates at large to Charleston, to wit, Bigler, Dawson and Baker. They gave the other one to the Anti-Lecompton side – Montgomery. They then nominated Henry D. Foster, Anti-Lecompton, for Governor, and elected a pretty clean lot of Administration delegates to Charleston from the twenty-five Congressional districts. The Philadelphia Bulletin thinks that Douglas has little or nothing to expect from the delegation. The Press says “there is a fair prospect that the real wishes of Pennsylvania may find a Partial expression in the formation of a Presidential ticket and the platform of the campaign of 1860.”
