Democratic Convention of young Men OF the Stale of
PENNSYLVANIA held the 4th inst, at Harrisburg
The following are the Resolutions which unani
mnsly adopted, in that body on the 9th and oh INST:

The following is also Extract from the Address OF
the Convention to the People Of Pennsylvania No one
can overlook it's spirit mistake lis object:
It is scarcely two yeats since the people OF rem
svlvana declared, with energy, and in manner that
the most thoughess could not mistake their uncompo
missing hostility to the Bank OF the United States
From extremity Of the State to the other their voice
was raised against its audacity They bchrid, with an
in,irnaion blended with contempt, moneyed corpora
:ion created the community, assuming u doh!-
neer over The politics of the country, and the fignts OF
its citizens They united with the democracy OF the
Union and as they believed, terminated It's existence
and its mower But it is not so. With the in vasou oil
representative rights, and the Infringement of the cleo
tive franchise comes the Bank OF the United States
hand in hand. In proportion az our opponents ann
nsh our privilege at the polls, they increase our SUBJ
lection to the power Of associated wealth. Nay as
if 10 mock the pride and consistency OF our common
wealth. they call this high.landed proceeding fen-
sylvania measure; they boast OF IT, pcrchahce IN oll

the yeonanry of State have not yet learned 10 sacr
flee political principles the shrine OF pecunlarv
tare But the history Of the last four years must be
b9tted out, before any Democrat can believe such an
institution to be benefit before this State can consent
IN retain within its limits power which she has already
seen both disposed and able to injure the whole Ansr

sufferable weight; but we protest as

alive protest against the monstrous doctrines, iat
are confidently bToached. We deny that where, oy
fraud by accident or even BY want OF foresight power
shall be conferred for private benefit and for private ends

the last to violate chartered privileges or vested rights
But they know there chartered privileges beongng
to eyery American freeman infinitely more sacred than
