MIA nohiugsm furnishes in its issue of Thursday
last full report of the proceedings Of what it desgnaes
the Union State convention which met at Harrisburg
the 26th instant for the purpose of nominating State
ticket and Of erecting platform upon which fcderalists
abolitoniss and knownothngs could and would stand
in safe friendly and brotherly accord From the ad
vanced report furnished by the telegaph-generay
reliable medium far as political intelligence is
edhe public led believe that the convention fully
represented all the various imported into peculiar
Penns vani and that its proceedings gave evidence of
great harmony and concert of action According to the
report of the Times there but Gy delegates in ut,
tendance representing only thirty counties in the State The
city of Philadelphia with population quite equal to
fifth of the whole population of the State unrepresented
in the convention rather three individuals volunteered
represent the rapidly waning fortunes of
ism and aboonism In that city. In looking the list
Of delegates recognise the of who have been
ons whg county conventions in Pennsy for the
last fifteen twenty years and who have always evinced
the greatest aacry to identify themselves with any and
every political faction which had its origin and its mission
opposition the men, measures and principles of the
democratic party. That large influential and
tive body of citizens, the odine wings, had neither lot
part, voice in the convention The convention
essentially and absolutely freesoi abolition convention
convention of negro-worshippers-of the same class
character and degree the yearly convocatons in New
York and Boston of the Garrison tribe with the revolving
basphemy of the latter prudehy omitted for the present
but with all the sectonasm, anacism, and hatred of the
Union the constitution and the institutions of the country
of undisguised, unblushing abotonsm,
The convention, of course, adopted new platform Of
resolutions The leaders of the opposition like the alma
makers have mapped off the Union into various

pha schuykil Dauphn, and the central portions Of the
State stick to this black plaster The first resolution of
the State platform reads:
Re.ored That animated by the spirit concession we
win cordially unite in the support Of the candidates be
nominated by this convention upon the of those prn
cipss upon which mutually agreed"
The I'VE will cordially unite" in the above means nothing
less than that abolitionism twill cordially absOrt
all who to their camp whether in the name Of fed
eralsm or know nothngism The union process in New
Hampshire New York, Massachusetts, Illinois, and In
diana resulted in the election Of six abolition United States
senator's, The two next resolutions are as follows:
