readers the following manly and admirable resolutions OF the
noble Democracy of Philadelphia the late celebration oil
the 4h July They deserve be printed in letters OF gold
and 10 be e.echoed by the Democracy of tine whole North
| and West.
Resolved, That we zealously, faithfully and constantly
adhere the well understood articles OF the Democratic
creed better define them than by reierang the
proclamation OF the and unaerinE adhesion oil or
party to radical National and Constitutional principles
from which the Democracy Of Pennsylvania has never
swerved These principles strict construction oil Inc

by The to purposes clearly prescribed ana POSI-
lively defined by law.
Resolved That we no less sincerely approve the prnci
Piles than unhestaingy obey the mandates of the sever
al acts of the Thyfrs Congress, by which the Compo-
misses of the Constitution and the conservative spirit vi It's
provisions have with patriotic wisdom been maintained
believe that without cordial support Of these measures
all efforts TO reconcile the various conflicting interests ana
maintain separate integrity of the numerous united Sow
cregnes Of wide spread country would De futhe ana
the efforts of The enemies Of the nobest institutions ever
dedicated by to the Improvement o ms race successful
Of the of compromise and pachcaon 10 which
thus pledge support regard the Fugitive Slave
Law that in which the devotion OF our national egsa-
tue the letter and spirit of the Constitution of the Uni
ted States, has been most conspicuouSly displayed
Resolved, That we have had Democrats TO be
proud Of the lofty position of Pennsy vana since the hour
when the mad spirit Of analcism began 10 assail the Con
s;ituton, and invade the rights Of the several States winnie
other States may up their standard OF devotion to
the Union of the Keystone claim 10 have been the hrs

pations of those who would control interfere with The do
mestc institutions of sister soveregnes whose internal
INDEPENDENCE fundamental condition OF our Consu.
lional Union.
Resolved That as Democratic citizens of the metropolis
OF Pennsylvania we cherish an houes paroc plloe III pro-
claiming the nexble obedience Of Philadephans TO the
laws their determined opposition to all open efforts
Vaccinations defeat those laws and their reso-
denuncatiun Of all the scheme, of the foes OF the Con-
stulion We feel especial pride in the prompt and early
hostility Of local Democracy 10 every plan Tor the over
throw OF national principles While others may felicitae
themselves that the trade of Philadelphia has advanced and
that il still prospers let in view OF the future congratu
late ourselves that she has deserved her prosperity
by rejecting the alien and the reasonable doctrines OF the
Aboliiionist.
Resolved, That the enforcement Of the provisions Of
the Fugiire Stare La1c within the territory of any State
from impednents opposed by Of local legislation would
be not less reachcrons to the Con than The notification 81
provision Of the Constitution, Of act Of Congress 81 the
| limited States, by direct resistance.
Resolved That il is therefore subject Of congratua,ion
that the Senate and House of Representatives of Pennsy
vana at their session which succeeded the of the
Fugitive Slave Law by Congress- passed bill to the
greatest impeachment the ready enforcement of this law
within her territory While citizens of Pennsylvania
feel humlated that political opponents have found will
ling instrument in the Governor of their selection who
temporarily prevented this bill from becoming law, we de-
rive consolation in the prospect of the and early dnun
caton BY the people of the State of this ued and abi
| trary disregard of their will
