Whereas in the approaching fall election, it is

should act with unanmty, and sustain with cor
dality the nominees who may be placed before them
by the democratic county convention soon to
bic:
find lrhereas the democrats of cold Mother Cum
berand" most heartily approve of the measures thus
far of both the national and State administrations OF
Our government, and have the fullest confidence in
the able men the head Of our public affairs that
they will scrupuousy adhere to the cardinal prnci-
pies of the party which placed them in power, and
endeavor, by all legitimate means within their reach
\ TO promote the prosperity and guard the honor OF
our common country, and secure the rights of the
people IN all their relations: Therefore,
Resolued, That we will endeavor to have good and
competent men selected for the different offices to be
filled at the approaching fall election and that it is
the duty of the democrats in each township ward,
and borough of the county, to attend the primary
meetings for the selection of delegates to meet in
county convention, in order that there may be full
and fair expression OF public sentiment preparatory
to making the nominations.
Resolved That past experience teaches us that, af-
ter the nominations are made, it is the wisest and
soundest policy to sustain them with entire unanim
ity, and that any division among ourselves has only
tendency to strengthen the hands Of our opponents
produce bitterness of feeling among those who
should act band of brothers. and prove detri-
mental to the cause of popular rights, which we pro-
TESS TO uphold and sustain.
Resoicsd That we heartily approve Of the admin
istration of James X. Polk, and have the fullest
fidence in himself personally, and in the distinguish
ed able men who compose his cabinet, that they will
faithfully and conscentiously discharge the impor
tant duties intrused TO their care, and adopt such
measures as will conduce to the prosperity of the
people, and promote the greatest good Of the
-'the democracy of numbers
Resolved, Thatit is matter Of congratulation to
the people of the United States that the reannexa-
ton of Texas to the parent country has been happ
ly consummated; that the "one star" is added to
the galaxy of sister consultations; and that 'THE
UNION" at the same time that it is becoming day
by day sacredly enshrincd in the hearts Of the
people, is extending "the of freedom" and
bringing within its bounds the fair domains and pa
triotic sons Of kindred republic.
Resolved, That President Polk deserves the last
ing gratitude of his countrymen for his prompt and
energetic action in bringing about the final reannex-
alton Of Texas, and for throwing the whole moral
force and influence of his high station, at a critical
moment, in favor Of this much-desired result
Resolved, That our right to the Oregon Territory
lis clear and unquestienable, both by the prior dis
covery and prior occupancy of said territory by
those under whom we claim; and that it is the duty
OF the administration, as it is the will of the Pres-
dent and of the people, to suffer no compromise in
volving our rights to that territory and our national
honor, except that mentioned by the lamented Jack
son--"no compromise for Oregon, but that of the
lannon's mouth"
Resoiped, That we congratulate the democracy of
Pennsylvania on the happy advent of the admins
tration Of Francis r. Skunk inasmuch as the prin-
cpes Of the democratic party, while he is the exec
utive Of the State, will be fearlessy promulgated
and its measures faithfully carried into effect.
Resolved, That the governor has been peculiarly
fortunate in calling his aid, as the heads of the
different departments, faithful and tried men-those
IN whom the people have confdence--whose abili-
ties are Of high ORDER and whose integrity is be-
yond suspicion.
Resolved, That we are in favor of that wholesome
and sound doctrine of the democratic creed the in
divldual liability Of the stockholders in our banking
institutions, of preservation to much.
injured people from bank prohigacy and misrule.
and as matter of sheer justice and right as oh
served III all other dealings between man and man
of which our laws take cognzance and we will
zealously sustain our patriotic executive in his firm
resolve to carry this sound policy into practical ef-
feet in all the bank charters that may be granted
during his official term, by the aw-making power,
of which he is a coordinate branch.
Resolved That rejoice in the probability OF
this ancient Commonwealth being able to meet her
engagements for the future, by a prompt payment
of the interest on her public debit and that the enc
mics of republican institutions no longer point
to the land of Penn example of political prof
legacy and Carthaginisn faith.
Resolved, That the present State administration
and James r. Snowden, the State treasurer, arc
entitled to the thanks of the people Of Pennsylvania
for their energetic exertons in obtaining the means
TO make the last OF the interest
onthe state indebtedness and hope that they may be
equally successful in accomplishing so desirable a
result for the future.
Resolved That, considering the enormous amount
ct our public debt and the heavy taxes with which
our citizens are burdened, a most ripid system of
economy is necessary in the management of our
public Improvements; and that their future popu-
larity among the people of the State will mainly de-
pend on the fact whether or not they will prove a
source Of revenue to the treasury.
Resolved, That in the death Of Andrew jackson,
which we deeply deplore as national calamity, he
