true interests, there can never be a doubt as
10 the result Democracy true to itself,
neyer has. and never can be defeated and
hence, whilst we will buckle on our armor
aud nerve ourselves for the contest, we feel
no doubt as TO the result being triumphant
le-establishment Of our principles, and The
utter proslration OF Tie hopes Of The Federal
Party.
Re8olUea That we have undated con-
iidence in the talents, integrity and repnblI-
can principles Of our excellent and worthy
President, Martin Van Buren,. In the ad-
minlstrat.on Of the Government of the Uni
led States, he has fully justified the conf
dence repossd in him by the people, when
they elected him to The first Office in their
gift, and Justly entitled himself to re-elec-
tion.
PesolOed-That in Richard NJ, johnson
we recognize a firm and inhexibe patriot,
who never deserted friend, or fed from a
foe. His honorable scars dispense with the
necessity Of certificate to prove the part he
took in the Battle Of the Thames, His un-
deviating republicanism and devotion TO the
best interests of his country, during leng
and unbroken service in the councils of the
nation, show him 10 be Statesman as well
as a Soldier, and we feel that it will be but
doing our dnty, TO again elect the war
worn veteran to the second Office in cur
gift.
Resolced-That as Pennsylvanians we
feel an honest state pride in our worthy Co
vernon, DnVid Rutenhouse Porter.
Resolued-'Fhat the Democratic party
seek not the destruction of the Banks, or
the prostration Of the commerce and busi-
ness Of the country--having as deep a stake
in the welfare Of the community as their
political opponents. They seek reforma-
ton of abuses, which every days expert
ence teaches US to exist in the Banking svs-
tem-whereby honest men are delrauded,
and the commerce and business of the coun-
try rendered so Auc,ualing and prscarious,
that prudent men will scarcely engage in it.
The public opinion and due regard to
the peace, order, morals and welfare of so.
ciety, demand tina! the work Of reformation
shall GO on--and this mandate must and
will be obeyed.
Reseloed-That we most heartily ap-
prove ef the passage oil the Independent
Treasury Bill, measure calculated TO Sc
cure the true independence OF our country,
by completing the divorce of the Govern
meut and the Banks.
ResoIved-That John s. Ingram,
George Kutz. Peter Aurand, Jr. John
!Strimpfer, George Seit2inger and Jacob
Hunt2inger be appointed Conlerees to
represent Schuylkill county at the house of
Samuel X. Kopner, ID Yves, Penn, to meet
an equal number Of Gonlerees from Lehigh
county, on Wednesday The 26 dag of.Au-
gust ne1t, for ihe purpose Of nominating a
candidate to be supported for CONGRESS at
the nialng election, and that the conlerees
have full power to fill any vacancies.
ReSolged-That Samuel Huntzinger,
T.. n. Rutzneg, George Moser,.A. HOl'aes,
John Metz and Charles Frailey be Confe-
Iees 10 represent Schuylkill county al The
house Of Peter Kline in Barry township, to
meet an equal number Of Conferecs frem
Columbia county, al such time as may be
agreed upon by our democratic friends Of
Columbia for the purpose of nominating a
candidate for SENATOR to be supported by
the democratic republicans of this district at
the nexl election, and that they have full
power TO I'll vacancies.
ReselUed-Thal we canno, support Gen.
VIVA. II. Harrison for the Presidency, be-
cause We recognize among his supporters
the leaders OF the late buckshot war, con-
Quoted at The Instance of Rtner, Stevens,
Burrowes, Penrose, Dickey ond others,
which cost $3.50, 900 of the hard earnings
of The people, for the base purpose Of de-
feaiiug the expressed will of the people oi
Philadelphia county in the choice of the
State Representatives, and treating the elec-
tion of the sovereign people as though it had
not been held.
ResoiUed-That William Fl. Harrison is
not entitled 10 Che supper, Of any Democrat
lie is lac candidate of The Federal Party
and his refusal to avow his principles, when
called upon so to do, is a convincing proc
that he does not possess the honest priEci
pies of Democrat, or he would rot he a
fraid to make such avowsl. Truth seeks nc
covert or cenceament.
ResolVed-That the proceedings Of thi'
meeting be signed by the officers and pub
lished in the democratic papers of the coun
iy, and such others as choose 10 copy
them.
