The Philadelphia North American, announcing the
result, soys:
"of the gentlemen composing this ticket, all
good men and true, highly acceptable to the con
vention, they will undoubtedly prove to the
party throughout the Commonwealth, and of their
name of Wing, we shall have the pleasure soon to
speak in the terms which their merits demand and
our own wishes suggest.
"Of the convention itself we have the gratiica-
ton TO state, that il was all that could have been de-
sired, the feeling that prevailed during the two
days session. being one OF perfect harmony, and
the action prompt, prudent, and happy. The
lutions, which will speak for themselves, were
members, having successfully performed the du-
ties assigned them, and compared notes and ex-
changed pledges like friends in council finally sep
arated in that spirit-the true old Wing spirit,
warm, hopeful, resolute, and enthusastic-which
spreads like prairie fire, knding wherever it
touches, and from which feel justified in draw
ing the highest auguries of Wing success in the
coming campaign"
The following resolutions were adopted by the
convention:
81. Resolved, That this convention, representing
those who, in lS4S, gave the vote Of Pennsylvania
TO Zachary Taylor and William +. Johnston, re-
Joice in the opportunity now afforded Them of re-
newing the expression of their undiminished conf
dence and respect; the more earnest, founded on
the realization Of all their hopes and expectations
The Wings Of Pennsylvania have watched with
deep interest the course of the State and National
Administrations, conducted, as they have been,
under unusual embarrassments, and the result is,
that they are proudly content with both.
go. RESOLVED, That to William F. Johnston,
Governor Pennsy vania, their gratitude is espe-
cially due, for his public conduct, his steady fety
to his friends and his party, to the interests of the
great State he represents, TO her relations to the
Union and the Constitution to her well settled and
unwavering loyalty, and old fashioned opinions on
subjects of domestic policy formed during the Rev
olution, and never for one moment abandoned,
from that day of trial TO this
&c ResOiUed, That our thanks particularly
due 10 Governor Johnston for arrcsting one mea-
sure Of dangerous and unconstitutional legislation,
the first apportionment bill of the late session of the
Legislature, and thus forcing an INSCRIPTIONS ma
jorty TO recognise the obligations of the Consttu-
ton, which all were equally bound to sustain, and
whose fundamental principle, grossly violated by
that BILL is fair and equal representation, and no
acknowledgements for opinions sake.
81. Res0iped, That to Governor Johnston graft
tude Ia due for his anxious desire, manifested in
every word and act of his official life, to maintain
the public credit Of the State, and enforce, by the
accumulation of a sinking fund, the certain and
gradual reduction of the public debt and the public
burdens, so az TO release the energies of Pennsyl
vania from tho weight she has so ing and so pa
tently borne, and give her capacity to i'm
prove every portion of her SOIL complete her unfn-
ished improvements, and give to every county of
the Commonwealth facilities for the development of
its resources.
''5 Resoioed, That one other public servant has
our gratitude, ana tnat OF every right
minded man in the Commonwealth, by faithfully
his responsible trust, and secondng
the economical views of the executive-and this
Wing convention would not faithfully represent
its constituents, iii did not give uterance Of
est gratitude to the late State treasurer, Gideon J.
Ball, of Erie, for all he has done, and all he has
prevented.
sc. Rssolued, That, with a view to sustain the
executive by the association of men-men of high
character, sound political opinions, and large ex-
perience, we have this day nominated Joshua Dun.
gan, Joseph Henderson, and Henry w. Snyder;
surrounded by such men, and no longer embar-
raised by adverse associations, the Wing Governor
can, without fear difficulty carry into
full execution all measures necessary for the public
good; for their election, and with it, the election of
Legislative majority, SO important in every
spect we invoke activity, harmony and fidelity in
the Wing ranks, from one end Of the State to the
other.
81. Resoiued, That this convention would i'll dis
charge its duties, do justice to the sentiment Of
those who sent them here, the Wings of every part
of Pennsylvania, if they to withhold from the
President Of the United States and his administra-
ton the tribute of sincere approval, Of confidence,
and respect. TWAS Pennsylvania-thc State which
settles by its vote and its patriotic preference all
the great political contests of the country-which
made General Taylor President of the United
States. II is Pennsylvania and her honest yeo-
manry that yet sustain him, and il lie Pennsylvania
which does not lightly turn her back a brave
honest, and faithful public servant.
"o. Resolved, That in eiecting Gen. Taylor, we
chose him without reference to sectional feelings
which Pennsylvania all questions under the Con-
stitution expressly and earnestly repudiates-but
with reference TO his national character, earned on
the field OF his countrys battles, by long life of
severe public service in the cause Of the whole
country-and nobly has our confidence been repaid.
His heart, swelling beyond mere local influence, has
beat high in unison with the nations feeling, and
never hltered in its devotion 20 the Constitution
the Unon-and the interests Of the whole country.
IL is the placid dignity and energy of his character
atfeafed in Of trial and in apother
sphere, mingled with his utter destitution OF mere
sectional feelings, and his generous and constitu-
tional patriotism, which now rebuke and always
will restrain extremes of faction or fanaticism let
them come from what quarter or in what form they
may. IL is part OF the choice blessings Of Provi-
dence, that, in crisis like this, the nation reposes
with entire confidence such President.
"9. Resolved. That Pennsyl vania thanks William
NJ. Meredith, Secretary Of the Treasury, for the
principles asserted and the policy recommended in
his annual report TO Congress; principles which,
though too often postponed, betrayed and sban-
doncd by our public men, yet dear 10 the in
dustrious Of our ellowc citizens as they were
sixty years ago, when, under the administration Of
Washington, they were first asserted.
40. Resolved, That the PROSTATE condition Of
the industrial interests Of Pcnns yvania, produced
by the repeal Of the tariff Of ls42, and the enact
ment Of our present revenue system, IL n subject
that demands the serious and early consideration
OF Congress. While our brethren Of the South are
denouncing the free States Of this Union for sup
constitutional rights, we invite them 10 contem-
plate the injury they have inflicted upon tho North,
which now threatens, and, in some Instances, has
already caused the most deplorablc distress and
perjury among large classes Of our peoples PEG.
pic who are devoted 10 the Union, who are ever
ready 10 support the Constitution and laws OF their
county sustain her honor whenever assailed, and
10 shed their blood in her defence; and who are
justly entitled in return, 10 the protection that she
has Withdrawn from them, and given 10 the manu-
iactures, the workshops, and labor Of other coun-
tries. The Wings Of Pennsylvania desire 20 pre-
cent the question 20 the present Congress- whether
their action upon the subject IL TO be controlled by
the wishes Of the British minister, the voice Of
the Northern freemen Of the American Union.
al. Resolved, That while the Wings Of Penn
sylyania are opposed, they ever have been, 10
the extension OF slavery, they hail the people Of the
South their brethren, in whose prosperity they
rejoice, and whose constitutional rights they are
prepared 10 sustain and defend. That in the spirit
Of good neigbborbood, whenever the interests Of
different sections our glorious Union supposed
TO conflict, they arc prepared now, as they have
ever been, 10 stand upon the ground Of mutual for
bcarance, heartily responding TO the sentiment
pressed by General Taylor, in his message TO Con-
gres that the great element Of ts strength s 10 be
found in the regard and affection Of the people for
each other.
