RESOLUTIONS OF THE TRENTON
CONVENTION

The following resolutions were reported and
read by Mr.. Armstrong of Essex, as Chairman
of the Committee, and unanimously adopted.
They are bold, manly and to the point-and
speak in the honest language of truth, the spir
it which now animates the patriotic sons of
New jersey, smarting under the wrong and
outrage perpetrated by the ruling powers of the
Federal Government:
Resolved, That assembled as we are, upon
the spot where our fathers fought and bled, to
secure for themselves and for us the inestima-
bic right Of free representation, when attacked
by a. foreign despet, our first thoughts are turn
ed to the recent blow by which. domestic foes
have struck, down that sacred right
Resolved. That the conduct of maiOrity of
the pretended House of Representatives, in
contemporary disregarding the great seal of
New Jersey, and excluding from their seats FIVE
of her duly commissioned Representatives, was
most gross usurpation upon her rights and
feelings, an outrageous violation of the consti-
tuition, and deadly thrust at the spirit of our
free institutions, and that the more recent act
of the same body, in forcing upon us represen-
tatives whom we had rejected, as f.ting sac
rlice of honor and good faith upon the same
party altar
Resolved, That while we deeply regret tha
] any Jerseymen should be SO ambitious of The
name and power of office without its honor, as
to'occupy places which. they could reach only
by trampling upon the Constitution of the Uni
on, and the sovereignty and laws of their OWL

ELECTORAL. TICKET.

The following resolutions were adopted by
the State Convention of the friends of Harri-
son and Tyler, which met in Harrisburg on the
22d of February, 1910.
:" ReSOlved, That whenever the opponents of
Martin Van Buren, in the several Congression-
al Districts of Pennsylvania shall have nOml-
mated an Elector or Electors, and received from
such nominees pledge to vote for WILLIAM
HENRY HARRISON of Ohio, as President,
and JOHN TYLER of Virginia, as Vice Pres
dent, the name Of such Elector or Electors,
and the pledge of said Electors, be forthwith
forwarded to the State Committee.
"ReSolUed, That it shall be the duty of the
State Committee to publish correct Electoral
Ticket, so soon as the same shall have been
finally adjusted by the several districts"
As several of the Congressional Districts
have not yet reported the names of their candi-
dates for Electors, and as it is of much import
ance to have the Ticket corrected and publish
ed with as little delay as possible, this mode of
calling attention TO the subject, is adopted. The
spring Courts will present a convenient oppor-
tunity for attending to it, as well as for taking
measures to complete the county organization
of the party, preparatory to the approaching
Election Communications on the subject
should be addressed to the subscriber, Lancas-
ter P. o. Lancaster county. The undersigned
takes pleasure in stating, that from exery quar-
ter of the State, the accounts which reach the
State Committee are of the most encouraging
description. Nothing seems wanting to give
success to the patriotic cause in which we are
engaged, but complete organization of the op-
ponents of misrule. A general rally of all who
are opposed 10 the administration of Martin Van
Buren, WILL beyond doubt, give the vote Of
Pennsylvania to Harrison and TYLER.

ACCIDENT AT THR DEPoT-A WOMAN FLOR
RIBLY CRUSHED TO DEATH-On Saturday
morning on the arrival of the train from Rhila-
delphia, woman was crushed to death in a.
most shocking manner. She was standing be-
tween the track and the canal, by the south
door Of the car house, out of danger, though
very near the cars, when the horses passed her.
Frightened and apparently bewildcred, she
rushed into the car house and was caught be.
tween the car and the edge of the platform,
with her back to the car and her breast against
the platform. The space is not more than.f6nr
inches, and her brest bone was crushed in and
her left arm broken.
She gave no scream, but uttered low moan
ing, caused probable by the dreadful. pressure
against her breast The passengers jumped
out, and pried up the cars with levers, and drew
her out underneath. She was perfectly sense
less, and ceased breathing in about FIVE minutes
DR.. Taylor being sent for was on the ground in
very few minutes, but medical skill was Of
course unav ailing.
The woman belonged at the four mile ferry.
her husband was boating stone for Mr.. Clio
yer, and, both had come down the canal, in a
boat, Short lime before. Her name was
Kearnev. She was buried Yesterday in the
Catholic burial ground.
The driver of thecar was greatly affected,
but from the manner in which the accident oc-
Cured, it is clear that no censure can attach
to him.
