Movements OF the Democracy.
We publish below the resolutions adopted by the de-
mocracy Of Luzerne county. Pennsylvania as we find
fhem published in the Valley Spirit. The noble move
ment which was originated al Philadelphia is. we are
happy to see spreading other parts OF the North and
the democratic party is making strenuous exertions to
repair the defeat Of 1885, and 10 protect the country from
he perls which have been brought upon by free soil
ism and the combined forces of the wings and abolition
ISIS The democrats OF the North are rising up against
| the Wilmot Proviso, and regulating the dangerous
schemes Of faclionsts and Of aggressive demagoguism
They point TO the constitution, and they insist upon pre-
serving its guarantees in good faith, the only Of
preserving the purity Of institutions and OF main
tanning the integrity Of our Union
If the wing party would cooperate in this patriotic
movement the sectional strife would be ended, and all
would be well with the people. But neither the wing
party Of the North, the wing party Of the South
the whg dynasty which rules the nation against the will
Of the nation, have any sympathy for the
foot by the Pennsylvania democracy, having for its
object the preservation Of the Union BY removing all
causes Of bitterness and every of complaint by
preventing injustice and BY checking aggression. The
administration and its servle presses dread the settle
ment Of the present difficulties. They know that they
already condemned by the people fdr their incompe-
tency. cruelty. perdy, and for their corrupt practices
They have hope therefore, but in the perous exgen
ces which continued agitation may bring upon the
try They wish 10 the country brought to the verge
Of civil war; and hey wish to State arrayed against
State so that they may retain power by appealing to
that love for the Union which burns the bosoms Of
our citizens and claim the popular gratitude for que
ing by armed men, dissatisfaction and resentment which
they have deliberately produced II is for that reason
that the cabinet had endeavored to keep alive the terrific
rial question and il is for that that its organs had
unequivocaly manifested feelings Of bitter hostility
every movement which was calculated to reesahlish
harmony between the two sections Of the Union When
the noble demonstration Of the democracy OF the city and
county OF Philadelphia made, the confidential organ
Of Mr. Clayton denounced it in the btterest terms, and
that journal used every exerton shield freesolism
and abolitionism from the blow which was dealt The
National Isgeneer acted less boldly, but acted with
an eye to the result II withheld from its readers
even the knowledge that such movement had taken
place. under the piful preext that no resolution was
adopted relative to General Washington Even to this
day. neither Of the organs of the administration in this
city has laid before its readers the noble resolutions of
the Philadelphia democracy but both Of them have been
busiy engaged in dverting public attention from the real
point of danger, by using all their cunning keep alive
dssension. and TO urge the spirit Of facous aggres
sion; and by hypocrcal professions Of love for the
Union they seek to cloak their REASONABLE designs against
its permanency and prosperity. The people will soon
understand these things, and then be to the traitors
who have brought our institutions in peril
