the Harrisburg National Republican Convention.
AS was anticipated, the Convention adopted the
Anti-Masonc Electoral Ticket. Tho opposition
10 the Administration of Jackson, will, by this
course, be brought to bear with united force upon
the election, and no doubt now exists that the
Electoral vote of Pennsylvania will not be given
| Tor The present incumbent. The history of poll
tics contains no instance of total revolution in
public opinion, the recent election in Pennsyl-
vana evnces. The Legislature will contain ma
Jority of Anti-Jacksonians, and u. S. Senator
will be elected from the opposition. It is believed
that majority of Monbcrs of Congress has also
been elected by the people from tho opposition
The precise number however, is yet disputed

| ADDRESS.
We have again assembled in pursuance of the
| recommendation of tho State Committee, to de-
iberate on the course to be pursued by the Ma
tional Republican, party at the approaching elect
ion in November next. Great events have trans
| pred since last assembled.
| General Jackson has given to the world fur
Their development of his principles in his celebrated
Veto against The bill re-chartering the Bank of
the United States. He has placed himself above
the Constitution of his country, by declaring that
he has only sworn 10 support it as he understands
il; that the opinions of former Presidents have
binding effect on him; can Congress. the
| Supreme Court, nor all combined, control his
| opinion
| The Constitution and the principles of Presi-
dent jackson cannot both stand-one or the other
must give way--both cannot be maintained.
They opposite at the poles. 1t will be for
the people to determine which shall be supported.
Weare not ready to surrender the Constitution of
cur Country, which has been ESTABLISHED at the
pense of so much blood and treasure. 1t is a duty
| which to ourselves, children, and to
humanity itself, preserve involate that sacred
| instrument, and hand it down unimpaired TO pos
terty. The late election has shown that the anti
Jackson party of Pennsylvania have decided
majority of the people their side Let it not be
| said that the Governors election dISprOyeS this
does not; for some thousands of those who voted
for Governor Wolf aro-6Pposed to the reelection
of Andrew Jackson. That oppositi"l is the great
err for the negative placed by the Jackson party
on the bill of Henry Clay. giving to Pennsy lvanu
lhe annual sum of 260,l76 dollars to release her
| from the pressure of canal taSatIon-a taxation
which next year must amount to nearly 100000
dollars to meet the interest OF the public debt. Be-
sides have decided ma ority in the House of
Representatives, an increase in the Senate, and
half the members OF Congress elect. Nor is this
all The boosted majority of $4,000 for General
Jackson in 1928, has been reduced to little
| more than three thousand-even allowing (Which
is not the CASEY that all Jackson men who
| voted for Wolf. What then is duty?
We answer, 10 make every sacrifice of
feeling to the public good-to surrender every
thing but honor, to country from tho
rDisrule of the present national administration. it
is in power to prevent the greatest misfortune
that could beial this nation, the re-eiecfi0n Of IH-
| drelD jackson. This can be ensured by withdraw
ing ticket and supporting the other anti Jack
son ticket that was placed before the people by Il
Convention held in this place in February last. In
making this sacrifice for the safety of the Consu-
| ton, let not be understood abandoning
candidates, HENRY CLAY and JOHN SER
! GEANT. We do not abandon them. We have
every confidence, and every reasonable ground
TO expect they will be elected. But cannot
sacrifice the hattering prospect of defeating
| Gen. Jackson, in bis supposed strong
| hold of Pennsylvania, by presenting to our
opponents in this State divided front. We
| have strong hopes, moreover, that the patriotic
citizens whom urge for the suffrages of the
| people will not cast away the vote of Pennsylva
MIA, but that they will vote for the man in oppos-
ton TO Gen. Jackson, who they satisfied will
with their exertions, have plurality of the votes
of the Union. Let us then rally, people de-
strmined to preserve our liberties, the follow
! ing ticket:
| Richard Rush, York county; William Piper
! Bedford; Cadwallader Evans, Philadelphia city;
Lewis Passnore and Samuel Harvey, Philadelphia
county; Maxwell Kennedy, Lancaster; Nathan
| Peunypacker, Chester; William Johnson, Della

Ferguson, Dauphin; John Walter, Berks John
Eckbert, Lchgh; Michael Fdckenthail, jr.. Bucks

| Our Union banner is unfuried; let those who
love their country, rally around it, and vote the
Anti.Jaokson Ticket presented for their suf.
lfages. Let every Pennsylvania have it to say,
| on his return from the polls, that IL not the
glory of Jackson he sought, but his own safety
