THE HARMoNIoUs DEMOCRACY !-DEMocRAT
&c VAN BURES Meeting IN PENNsYLvANIA.-
The smart, intelligent, eloquent and unan-
swerabe clique weo manage the Democrat,
are as busy as little dogs in high rye in trying
10 convince themselves that Mr.. Van Buren,
will draw all his support from The Wing ranks
They have not vet heard-ift they are to be be-
lieved at all-ofa single simon pure loeoloco
who will give Matty his support, notwithstand-
ing we have published the names of scores OF
good and true members Of that party who re-
pudiate Cass and his principles, they are 50
bull-headed that they cant be made TO see ii at
all. The following account of large and en-
thusiactic meeting of the democracy lately held
in Pennsylvania, may open their eyes possibly
We copy from the Pittsburgh Iron City:
4 very large and respectable meeting of the
democratic cIliZensof Eayette and Washington
counties, was held al the Town Hall in Browns
vile, on Monday evening the 3lst ult. The
meeting was called to order by ]. Slocum, and
on motion Mr.. Robert Mckarley, was appoin
ted President, Leonard Lamhart, Walter b.
Chalfant, Thomas Mcdonald, A. G. Minchart,
and Joshua Haddock. Vice Presidents, aud H.
Cannon, o. c. Cromlow and J. 4. ID. Owen
Secretaries.
Dr. f. ID. Gazzam, Of Pittsburgh, being intro
duced 10 the meeting, made most eloquent
address on the great question Of the extension
of slavery TO Free Territory and in ia vor of the
election of Van Buren, to the Presidency, which
was head with appreciation and delight by the
numerous assemblage.
At the conclusion of the address, on mo-
motion Of Mr.. james Slocum, the following
pr Gamble and resolutions were unanimously
adopted:
WHEREAS, the time is fast approaching when
the American people will be called upon TO
choose their Chief Magistrate, aud WHEREAS,
the Convention assembled at Baltimore, failed
TO present TO tae consideration of the Demo
cratic party, a candidate whose principles are
in accordance with the feelings aud principles
of the Democracy; aud WHEREAS, in this emer-
gency the name OF Mr.. Van Buren, has been pre-
scented by the Democracy of his native State
as a candidate for President; Ind this meeting,
cherishing for him the same attachment which
they ever have done, and especially adniring
his noble stand against the extension of Slave
ny into free territory, and the unanswerable ar
guments of his letter 10 the Utica Convention
are determined 10 give him hearty and cor
dial support, a nd feel ii their duty TO declare
this course. Therefore,
RSsOIrcd, That we have undimnished con-
fdence in Martin Van BHren-the friend and
compairiot of Jackson, who enjoyed larger
share of his confidence than any other living
man-we respect him as a Statesman whose
life has been spent in useful and honorable ser
vice to his country. We admire him as tn,
President of our choice, whose administration
was distinguished tor its wisdom, patriotism
and moderation, and its adherence to sound re
publican principles. This honored and faith
full standard bearer OF our party was struck
down By our political opponent while nobly
sustaining and supporting our time honored
principles, and afterwards sacrificed TO the po-
litical cupidity of Southern politicians.
ResOlUcd, That while the purity, integrity,
and consistency of Mr. Va n Buren, can be no
more sullied BY the assaults of his present en-
emies then his virtues were frightened By the
eulogies so lavishly bestowed on them by the
same pens and presses in the days of his power
and patronage, yet the unprincipled authors OF
such calumnles must aud will receive the ex-
ecrations and contempt of every honorable
mind.
