The mountain sentinel. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1844-1853, 1853-08-04


These resolutions cover the whole ground,
and coming they do from State Convention
of the Democracy, are conclusive as to the posi-
ion they occupy towards the National and State
administrations. Both are fully and unqualih-
edly endorsed, and entire confidence expressed
in the distinguished Democrats who are alluded
to in connection with the Chief Magistracy of the
Nation and State. Gen. Pierces devotion to
the principles of his inaugural has well merited
the title of faithful exponent of Democratic
principles, while his ardent desire to sustain the
full measure Of his eountry's glory both at home
and abroad, has justly endeared him to the Dem
ocracy of the Nation. From the day that Penn
sylvania cast her vote for Gen. Pierce to the
present, her Democracy have never once faltered
IN the confidence they reposed in the wisdom,
intelligence and patriotism of the President, and
they have thus taken the earliest official oppor-
tunity to spread that fact before the country
Upon all the principles contained in the inaugur
raj of Gen. Pierce, as well the line of policy
pursued by his administration, the party n this
State is unit, and the resolutions standing al
the head of those reported by the committee, IS
a fair exposition of their feelings with regard to
Gen. Pierce and his administration.
The second resolution is pointed at Goyerner
Bigler and his administration, and is open, plza
and explicit. It's approval of the administration
cannot be mistaken. If the enemies of the Gov.
had wanted issue here was the gauntlet
thrown down to th EN-, in open convention, and
in the face of the assembled Democracy Of the
whole State. The resolution is not ambigu GUS
nor does it deal in mincing, equivocal terms. 1t
states the position of the Con vention openly,
and in that manner it was passed This is D
compliment to Governor Bigler, which is truly
encouraging. After nearly half of the term fer
which he was elected has expired, and after full
opportunity being given to witness and canvass
his official actions, the Democracy of the State,
in convention assembled have in the most pub
lie manner given their sanction to his admins
tration, and expressed their t1z confidence in his
patriotism, integrity and devotion to the prin-
ciples of the Democratic party" This move
ment on the part of the State Convention is full
of signifcation, and will make its mark upon the
politics of this State.
Col. Robert Tyler then offered series of Re-
solutions (Which regret we could not obtain)
in favor of the National platform of principles
on which the Democracy of the whole Nation
rest. They were adopted as an expression OF
the viii of the Democracy of Pennsylvania, and
they show that the party in the Old Keystone is
a unit on that platform of principles which car
ried General Pierce into the Executive Chair OF
the Nation, and on which he has based all his
official acts. The Resolutions are death-blow
at sectionalism in all its forms, and shadow
| forth reunited Democracy on the old Jeffer
soniaD doctrines of state Rights and Nationa
Security. We win publish the Resolutions en-.
tire when they reach US.
Resolutions were then adopted praying ths
next Congress to pass law giving every soldier
who served in any of the wars Of this Republic
/ 16o acres Of the public land. This was Wis
and patrioticr response to the desires of the Dem
oeracy of this State, and we hope it viii be fol
lowed by the other States, until the public min,
of the Nation is fully aroused on this question
of justice to those brave men who perilled thei
Lives in defence Of the honor of their native com
try.

Dear Chronicle IL am induced to address 70,
a letter descriptive of some of the incidents @
this season, as several persons but imperfect
acquainted with the English language, hav
written letters from here to papers in Pittsburg
and baltimore, which letters are calculated t
deceive the readers as to the company here an
their amusements. They represent us as a com
