| The Chairman announced that Mr..
Gamble having received plurality of the
whole number of votes, polled was there
fore declared the Democratic candidate for
Canal Commissioner.
Mr.. Broadhead moved that the ccaven-
ton accord to Mr.. Gamble the unanimous
nomination, agreed to.
The Committee appointed to report res
olutions expressive of the sentiments of
the Democratic Convention, respectfully
report the following:-
ResotUed, That with struggling freedom
everywhere, the sympathies of the Demo-
cratic party keep watchful company
voices in a manly shout for independence,
We here on the declaration day of our own
give them back for answer the full utter
ance Of the hearts best hope, that Gods
blessing will smile upon their perils, and
give them in all time to come day. like
this. d
Resotced, That it is our duty to watch
with a jealous eye, our own liberties-and
to resist early and always, every encroach-
ment upon the general right of the people.
We regard with serious alarm, the power
which corporate associations are daily
stealing from the many to the few.
ResotUed, That prodigal grants to spe
cial privileges, we will dispute forever.
No new Bank; nor any recharter, without
stringent individual liability; and every
possible restraint the law can lay on bank
ing corporations, we hold to be an impera-+
tive necessity Of the times. There is no
safety, and can be none, except in firm
and faithful adherence to the specie basis
ResOtUed, That the interest and rights
of labor it is but just to defend. The labor
of the country is the wealth of the country
and the impulse of her progress and pros
perity.
Resolced, That the Ten Hour law,
without proviso, amendment or appendageI
to defeat its operation, is measure that
commands our cordial and unchanging
support.
ResolUed, That shinplasters, issued by
municipal or other corporations, we de-
nounce as false representatives of money,
by which labor is defrauded of its just re-
ward. And all schemes of relief issues,
being but printed confessions of insolven-
cy, put upon the people as current equiv
alents for industry, we regard as worthy of
signal condemnation. The Democratic
party, if it is honest, confesses It's poverty,
but repudiates rags.
ResoIued, That all power should re-
main with and be welded by the people,
except, where for concentration and con-
venlence, it is necessary to cOnhde the
same to agents. We approve not only of
an elective Judiciary, but of electing all
public servants by the people-who are
fully competent themselves to do what
they employ others to do.
ResoLUed, That the Democratic Party
adheres now as it ever has done, to the
constitution of the country. Its letter and
spirit they will neither weaken nor de-
stroy; and they re-declare that slavery is
domestic local institution of the South,
subject to state law alone and with which
the general government has nothing to do.
Wherever the State law extends It's Jurls-
diction the local institution can continue to
exist. Esteemiag 1t a UiotatiOn Of State
rights to carry 1t beyond State limits.
We deny the power of any citizen to ex-
tend the area of bondage, beyond its pres
ent dominion,-nor do we consider 1t a
part of the compromise of the constitution
that slavery should forever travel with the
advancing column of our territorial pro-
gress.
Resolyed, That John A. Gamble is a
genuine representative of the democracy OF
Pennsylvania-simple in his habits, strict
ly republican in all his feelings and prin-
cipes, honest and faithful in the discharge
of all his sduties-possesslng as he does, III
an eminent degree a sound and correct
judgment and familiar acquaintance with
the interests and capabilities of the State,
we confidently present him to the people
