PENNSYLVANIA AND GEORGIA TRUE.

pvxxavtv.xIA.-The attempt to organize
"Hard" marty in Pennsylvania has met with most
d;s.strons failure Gov BTeLER the favorite of the
Administration Democrats Tor reelection to the
HIGH Office he now holds, received triumphant
vote of the Democracy of Philadelphia, 6he prin-
cipal seat Of the disafecton,) in their election of
delegates to the State Democratic Convention
eThis result" says the Philadelphia Argus 'makes
his denomination certainty beyond the possibility
of doubt. The entire delegation to the State
convention. from the city and county, will be IN
structed 10 vote for his denomination, and this ends
the opposition to him in the convention. We shall
expect to see the choice made By reclamation, as 1t
was when he was first nominated. The popular vote
in his favor is immense while the conventions both
in the city and county will be composed of at least
three to one of friends of the present chief magis-
trate''
Gov. BGLrR, it will be recolleeted, was elected
two wears ago as the fugitive slave law candidate,
in opposition TO the wing incumbent, JOHNSTON,
who was pledged in case Of his election to throw
every obstacle afforded by his position, in the way
of the execution of that law.
GEoRGIA-A meeting of the democratic mem
bers of the Georgia Legislature aud other dstin-
guished men of the party was recently held, at
which union was effected, and series Of sound
and excellent resolutions adopted, which We copy
below. At this meeting were present men who
had heretofore been in violent antagonisnl-men
who had suffered defeat under MCDONALD and men
who had won triumph under COBB But, on this
occasion, all were animated by a common feeling
Sin tho oblivion
of past disputes, and the restoration of the har-
uony and efficiency of the party. The achieve
ment was not difficult where all things were so
propitous.
The endorsement Of the administration in these
resolutions is most emphatic; and in this consists
their principal interest with the democracy out Of
the State Il is, as is remarked by the Richmond
Enquirer, terrible hlow to the designs of those
who reckoned the Democrats Of Georgia among
the malcontents, while it affords encouragement
and support to such as have not wavered ii the
discharge Of their duty
RESOLUTIONS OF THE GEORGIA DEMOCRACY
Resolred, That the principles and sentiments de-
clared by the National Democratic Convention of
1852, remain in unimpaired strength as the bond
which draws together the democracy of every sec
ton Of country in sympathy and union
and that the Democratic party of Georgia avail
itself of tins occasion to reiterate its cordial ac-
quiesenCe in Them.
Resoired That we recognise in President Pierce
long tried, patriotic and consistent exponent of
these principles and scntments-that his exposi-
tion Of them in his Inaugural Address and recent
message 10 Congress meets with our full concur
renee, and having unabated confidence in his 6deli-
ty to Them pledge to his administration our
cordial support and view its friends as our friends
Its opponents rs our opponents.
Resolved That the Democratic party of Georgia
emphatcaV avOws its construction of the Bat-
more Platform OF 1852, IL reference to the slavery
question 10 b. a distinct reputation of the princi-
pie OF the WimoJ Proviso, in any future organza-
ton Of territory in our possession or hereafter
10 be acquired, and that we cannot recognise any
one as belonging to the democratic party who
shall seek to enforce or shall advocate this prnci-
pie so repudiated.
ReSOUea, That while our warmest svmpaties are
due to those Northern Democrats who amidst the
storm of ianaticsrn the slavery question, which
has ragged in past years in their section Of the I'm
ion, stood firmly by the rights of the South we
recognise as Democrats all our fellow citizens Of
the North who now stand firmly with us on the
platform Of tie National Democratic party and are
therefore pledged to defend the South from any fu-
ture assaults upon her institutions.
ReSolced That 10 the ascendencY and integrity
of the national democratic party based as it is up
the principles recognised ia its platform the peo-
pie of The South can confidently look as a guar
antee for the presers aon of the reserved rights of
the States within the Union, and especially of
their constitutional rights with reference to the in
stitution Of slavery.
