Democrat and sentinel. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1853-1866, 1857-03-11

delegates to the State Convention do fully
and heartily concur in, and approve of, the
resolutions unanimously adopted by the De-
mocracy of York county, at the public mee-
! ting held in the borough of ork, on Satur-
day. January II, 1851 which resolutions
condemn the course of the traitor Samuel Ma
| near, in the recent Senatorial election, and
revoke the appointment of James NJ Ander-
son as the Senatorial Delegate from York
county to your Convention. We also fully
and entirely approve of the appointment OF
Major Charles NJ Smyser, as the Senatorial
Delegate, in place OF said James u Ander-
son.
The following resolutions adopted by the
county meeting of York county were also
read:
Resolced, That the open boast of James NJ
Anderson, of Carroll township. that he bad
the entire control of Manear, and yet refused
to exercise his influence to save the party from
betrayal, although at Harrisburg, has fortei-
ted the confidence of the Democratic party.
Reso,ced, That the Democratic party of
York county, now assembled in county NEE
ting, hereby revokes the appointment of
James NJ Anderson, as Senatorial Delegate
to the State Convention, which assemblies on
the I'd of March next, and appoints Major
Charles NJ Smyser, of York borough, IL his
stead
A similar paper also addressed to the State
Convention signed by SO out of the 40 men,
bers of the Democratic county committee, ap-
pointed by the county convention which ap-
pointed James NJ Anderson, was also read,
concurring in the appointment of Mr. Smy-
scr, and revoking that of Mr. Anderson.
Nj. Anderson replied by saying that the
Convention had heard the charges against him,
and he thought it but fair that he should ex
plain he said that in the meeting referred
to, viii ch had revoked his appointment, not
word had been said against him, nor was 1t
known that any charges were to. be made a
gainst him, until the resolutions were read
He pronounced the charges made against him
in the resolutions as false, and the men who
made them as malicious falslfers lie said
that the statement which had been published
explained everything, but the newspapers of
York county had, with two exceptions, refua-
ed to publish it.
Mr. Smyser presented letter from Henry
| G Stroman Chairman of the committee on
resolutions in the meeting referred to in York
county, in reply to the statement of Mr. An
derson, which was read
! The question then being upon the motion
! 70 admit fir Anderson as Senatorial delegate.
Mr.. Lindsay moved to amend by inserting
! the name of Mr.. Smyser as the Sena torial
! delegate, instead of Mr.. Anderson.
Mr Mcdowell proceeded to address the
! Convention on the motion at some lenghth, in
/ defence of Mr. Anderson's position
Mr. Schnable said that there was but one
sovereignty in this country, and that sover-
eighty was the people Mr. Anderson stood
/ here alone-s -sixty-eight out of the seventy
! six living delegates who had appointed him,
now repudiated him. and he was here without
a constituency He believed that no man
had right to force himself into representa-
! tive position in this country and he carried
this belief SO far that he would say Manear
had no right to represent York county in this
| House He (Mauear) had betrayed that
! county, and his action coul not bind its peo
pie. He had nothing to say against Mr. An
| derson personally but the people of York
county did not want him to represent them
in this Convention. That fact was apparent.
The amendment admitting Mr. Smyser was
adopted, and the motion as amended was a
| dopted.
The next case was that from the 18th Sen
atorial district. * l. Blood was. on motion,
{ admitted the delegate without any discussion

over, and that delegations announced the
