country; and HENRY CLAY, by his all
embracing public spirit and diffusive pa
triotism,-by his common devotion to all
the great and varied interests of the ma
ton, has eminenily entitled himself to
the highest honors known under the free |
institutions of which he has ever been the |
ablest defender.
Resolved, That the griovous experience
of the last two years has been, we trust,
amply sufficient to admonish our political
brethren Of the necessity of associating
with Henry Clay, a candidate for the
Vice Presidency. whose past history, char
acter and services will be sure guarantee
of future political honor and stability.
Fortunately, such men are not scarce in our
ranks; and whether the nomination rests
upon the shoulders of our own Sergeant or
McKcnnau; John NJ. Clayton. of Della
ware; John Davis, of Massachusetts; Ew-
ing or Corwin, OF Ohio Bell of Tennes-
see; Tamadge or Seward of New York;
Berricn, of Georgia; Mangum, of North
Carolina; or any other of the numerous
tried and able statesmen that adorn our
cause, we have entire confidence that
neither the party nor the country would
receive anv detrimant at their hands. in
office in the gift of the nation.
Resolved, That we approve Of the time
and place of holding a National Conven-
ton for the nomination Of candidates for
the Presidency and Vice Presidency, indi-
Gated by the Wing members Of Congress.
ReSolUed, That whereas the result of the
approaching national contest must uti-
mate'y be determined by the ballots of the
people; and whereas the rapidly approach
ing county and State elections Of next fall
must necessarily exert a strong influence
upon the general and decisive election in
1914; and whereas our success in both
struggles mainly depends on an early and
thorough organization; therefore we now
earnestly impress upon the minds of our
friends the great Importance of immediate,
efficient and persevering ACTION, confident
that if every man does his duty, all will
go well.
ReSO7ccd, That Lancaster county must
and will be the Banner County in 1874.
At the Young mems National Convention
of 1910, her delegation pledged themselves,
that she would give Harrison majority
of four thousand roteS, and she more than
redeemed her promise. AT the Clay State
Convention held in February last, her del
egation again pledged themselves that she
would give Clay majority of four thou
sand. fre hundred rotcs, in 1914, and she
can and will redeem her plighted faith.
Resolved, That so far as the Anti,masons
and Wings Of Lancaster county are con-
cerned, the great campaign is fairly open
cd--the issues all made up before the coun.
try; and we now enter this momentous
contest with the determination of FIGHTING
on, until Pennsylvania has, as she surely
will have, Wing Governor, and the Uni
ted States have, as they surely will have, a
Wing President; and until prosperity and
happiness shall thus be again restored TO
the State and the Nation.
Resolved, That while assembled to do
honor to the living, we deem it fit occasion
to pay just tribute Of respect to the
memory Of departed worth: and to express
our deep regret and sorrow for the loss
which the Nation sustained in the death of
that eminent sage and true patriot, William
Henry Harrison. Called By the free voice
Of his fellow citizens to the first office in
their gift; his exalted character his pure
integrity and his devoted patriotism were
a sufficient earnest Of his determination TO
administer the government according to the
wishes of those who elected him. His
death disappointed the hopes whose accom-.
plishment had been entrusted to him. His
latest breath was spent in giving utterance
TO his love for his country, and his desire
for the perpetuaton of true principles OF
government. His tomb was moisencd by
a Nations tears. and his memory is EN-
bamed in a Nations vcneration and graft
tude.
Resolved That the thanks of this Con
vention be rendered to L. e. Darlington
editor Of the EXAMINER and Herald" ant
John Baer, editor of the "Volks Freund,
and to Messrs. Bowen and GosSler of tn,
Columbia Protector, for the able, fearless
and faithful manner in which they have ad
vocated and sustained the rights of the PEG
pie and the principles Of the Wing and An
timasonic party.
Resolved, That the thanks Of the Con
venton, be rendered TO the County Com
mittee of Correspondence, for the prompt
ness, fidelity and ability with which they
have discharged the duties enjoined upor
them.
