Democracy in Pennsylvania.

On the 4th Of July the Democratic State
Convention for the nomination of Canal Com
missioner in Pennsylvania convened at Har-
risburg. The counties were fully represented,
and some of the best and ablest men in the
State were among the delegates. The very
best feeling prevailed. Arnold Plummer, on
the second ballot, was nominated for Canal
Commissioner. He is a strong man, and there
is not the least doubt of his election by an
overwhelming majority. Among the resolu-
tons adopted were the following:
"ResolUea, That the Democratic party need
not on old and settled issues, to declare It's
principles in detail. Ii is sufficient for us to
say that we belong to the Democracy of the
Union, and recognize no geographical lines
between the North and the South. The in
terests of all parts of the country are he same
to US; and, so far as in our power we-wiIl
maintain the constitutional rights of every
State, and likewise recognize, in its widest
extent the principle of popular sovereignty in
the Territories
"ReSolUei, That every one who makes our
country his home, and loves the Constitution,
the laws, and the liberty of the Union, IS, in
the largest sense, true American. His birth
place was not of his own selection, and should
do him neither harm nor good. His religion
is between himself and his God, and should
be left to his own judgment, conscience and
responsibility.
Resolced, That we regard the secret order
commonly known as Know Nothing, as AZ
organization dangerous to the peace and pros
perity of the country. We consider its de-
signs as Mt once unconstitutional and void o.
patriotism, being opposed to the spirit Of tru,
Christianity, and a just and manly American
sentiment.
''Resolred, That we have undiminished
confidence in the ability and integrity o
Franklin Pierce and his administration of th,
government Of our country"
"Sam's" nervous system will be terribly
shocked when he hears from the old Key
stone State next October.

A SANDER on Gen. Washington.

The writer, few days ago, saw in late
number of the New York Tribune, lengthy
editorial article, written to prove that Fede-
ralsm was a good and glorious doctrine, and
that "Gen. Washington was a Federalist''
Now it is well known fact that Gen. Wash
ington was no Federalist He was the great
man of the nation and stood betlceea parties
in other words, above parties-sometimes
favoring and sometimes rejecting measures,
presented and advocated by either party as
he in his judgment considered best for the
good of the country.
1t is folly and shame to say that Gen.
Washington was a Federalist in the true and
odious sense of the term.
The Federalists went in for strong Central
Government. Yea, for consolidation as il
were, of all the States in the Union, into ont
great State, and that Congress was to be the
Legislature thereof Such doctrines never
suited, nor were they ever advocated by Gen
Washington. Such doctrines, however, sui
well the editors of The Tribune and Abolition
lists, for if all the law making power of the
whole country was in Congress, then the ma
.joriy-the larger States-could blot out o
existence the smaller States and could abolish
slavery III all Jhe slave states anu eIrltOIIes
whether the people of each State and Terri
tories desired it or not.
The best feature, undoubtedly, in our gov
eminent consists in its system OF local legis
lation, that is, in the State rights and Stat
governments. Each State having the RICH
to pass all laws requisite for its domesti
wants, supercedes the necessity of Congres
having control over such matters, and as TIN
people at home, in The different States, is pre-
sumed to know best what they want an'
need, it is far better for them to have contro
of their own affairs than for Congress or on
great central power to do so for them.
great central law-making power at Washing
ton may suit Federalists and Abolitonists
but such doctrines don't suit a true Democra
or a true REPUBLICAN.

MEssRs. EDITOBs.-A writer in Yesterdays
Journal, on the subject of Old Line Papers, ;"
appears solicitous for theewelfare of Demo
cratic papers and the party generally.
He says we twill hereafter only be known
in history, as many other parties are now
known, which had out lived their DAYS of
usefulness"
The melancholy tone of this composition
shows that his efforts are merely the esca-
pings Of lite gas from the blow-pipc of
the 1oOald be great ,cOoly aealed Fusion PARTY,
in its last dying agonies. He admits the
former usefulness of the Democratic party.
We wish the same could he said of his, the
"Hyira-leaied Moagrels," in whose history
there are no redeeming qualities to contrast
with its countless treasone1 sins, and utter
want of political and moral honesty.
Conversely, the history Of "OM Lineisns'' is
synonymous with the history of our country's
progress during the last seventy-five years.
Its principles are written in the Constitution
of our country, and the organic laws of every
State. Men like Washington, Jefferson,
and jackson, gave to our party tho undying
principles of rue Democratic Republican
ism. Hence, he who chronicles It's history,
will call it an honest patriotic party, born OF
illustrious parentage, which we are sorry
can't be said of the IRoOlley Heads.
He says we have connected the Genera
Government into an Internal machine to ex.
tend slavery. What proof does he bring?-
Not any; and as none can be adduced, VIZ
are prompted by charity to regard this, lik,
his other assertions (for the Fusion party
lives only by assertion and fasehood) as be
ing the result of midnight associations il
Know Nothing Lodges, where all ar,
sworn to act, think, speak, vote and resist
precisely as their masters in the higher Coun
ellis shall order. On, what liberty such mel
enjoy Well may they talk of Freedom; 70
] they only enjoy it in name, being bound in tin
chains of more CALLING and detested specie
of slavery, than their brothers, of darke
skin, who work on southern plantations. /
he does not know his statements to be false
he is indeed a most pitiable object, natura
Rraoeo Nothing.
Again, he says every man in the Fusio
party is in favor of allowing all men to enter
tain and enjoy such religious views as the,
may deem proper. This statement has les
FEASIBILITY than any of the Others. Ever,
child knows that one of the leading tenets
or principles of the Mongrels, is the persecu
ton and prescription of our Catholic fellow
citizens.
The masses of the Fusion party are honest
misguided men; but their leaders are broke
down political demagogues, devoid of princi
pie, and relying FOE SUCCESS on stratagem ant
fraud. Such a course IAay answer for bre
season, as it did last year; but it will Away
be repudiated by the masses of the people
when they shall have had time for reflection
The Democracy were never in better spirits
and standing, as we do, where our father
did, we may well expect to carry everythin,
leave scarcely a trace TO denote that such
party,,as the IVoolley Heads" ever existed.

shown by various arguments, one of which is,
that the enemies of the Union are enemies of
colonization, while its friends are the true
friends of their country.
8. Christianity, with its immortal hopes
and never-failing blessings, has been planted
there, and will spread its influences over the
continent.
Shall we open our hearts and hands to for

A Southern PARTY.

A few unreasonable men like the editors
of the Charleston Mercury advocate the for
nation of Southern party. This is madness
and folly, and is properly rebrked by the
Richmond Enquirer. "The Democratic party
as now composed is adequate and ready to
secure the North and South, the East and
West their several rights and iminunities."
This sentiment is wise and patriotic; any
other is foolish and reasonable. Let the
South be united, but let it be with the De-
mocracy of the North; this is her only hope
of salvation, her only security for the main
tenance Of her rights.

ELoPEMENT.-Miss LIZZIE VANCE, young
lady, belonging to one of the first families in
GAINESVILLE, Tenn, went on visit to a rela-
tive in Elktown, last week. After she had
been there several days, Mr.. NEUMAYER, a
German music teacher at GAINESVILLE, for some
time her private instructor, and an inmate in
her mothers family, came with vehicle to
carry her home, as he said, at the request Of
her mother But, instead of returning home,
they went to Nashville and were married.
