The following resolutions, submitted by Major

RESOLVED, That the democrats of Southwark now
assembled, renew their oft-expressed confidence in
the virtue, talents, and integrity our distinguished
chief magistrate, James K. Polk-feeling that in
his hands the destinies Of our great and glorious
Union are not only safe, but that the pure princi
Piles and measures of democracy will be most ably
yindicated and triumphantly sustained.
Resolved That as Pennsylvanians, we feel proud
of our distinguished fellow-citizens, George M.
Dallas and James Buchanan. With such men to fill
the high and important trusts confded to them, we
have the strongest assurance that the honor charac-
ter, and dignity of the nation will be most faithfully
maintained, and the principles Of republican liberty
most nobly defended.
Resolved, That we have the most unbounded
confidence in our present worthy governor, Francis
r. Skunk, knowing him, as we do, to be faithful,
honest, talented, and patriotic. His successful ef
forts to restore the public faith and honor Of the
State, his firm stand in favor of the principle of in
dividual liability in banking institutions, together
with the desire exhibited to administer the affairs of
the commonwealth in such manner as TO promote
the greatest good of the greatest number merit and
will receive the hearty appreciation ofthe democracy
of Pennsylvania.
Resolved, That we heartily approve of the nomi-
nation of James Burns, Of Mifin county, for the
Office of canal commissioner; believing him to be
honest, faithful, and capable, democrat in prnci-
pie and in practice, we do hereby pledge ourselves
TO use every exertion in our power to secure his
election.
Resolved That we highly approve Of the county
nomination of Henry L. Benner for senator, as well
as the democratic assembly and city and county
ticket. Many of them born and reared amongst US,
from their earliest boyhood and all endeared by
sociation with in supporting the great and card-
nal r,rincDIea of and of civil and religious
liberty, we should deem ourselves recreant to the
great cause in which we are engaged did we not at
this time pledge them our hearty and undivided
support. The ticket, the whole ticket, and nothing
but the ticket, should be the wachword in the pres
ent contest. Firm and united in the great and coed
cause, and victory must and will crown efforts
with success.
Resoiued. That efforts recently made by the So
called natipis party, to abridge and break down
present school system, by drawing odious line of
distinction between the children of the rich and
poor, merit and receive the severest censure; lie.
lieying, a. We do, our present admirable system to
be the principal foundation in beautiful struc.
flre Of republican equality and liberty.
