The Pennsylvania Democracy.
The nominations for Governor, Supreml
Judge aud Canal Commissioner, made by the De
mOcuey Of Pennsylvania, at Hhrrisbnrgh, iev
days age, are said, upon good authority, to 3.
highly Iudieious, and such as are we'll calculate,
70 keep the old keystone fths arch in its prop
trplace.
We annex the Resolutions which were adopt
ed on the occasion, the general tone Of which i
eOnsonance with the loAiest impulses o
American leeTing and the true mission of the
Denocracy ef the nation:
lst ResOlsei, That as Representatives OF the
greatPssty founded by Jefferson, we salute oul
brethren Of the other States with cougratula-
tons upon the auspcicious and just result of the
Preeidential election achieved by our united eff
orts and sacrifices, with the aid efpatriotic men
heretofore attached to ether political bodies
ami necessary, as We believe, to the honor and
prosperity of our common country, and the con-
tinuaRce amongst US Of the blessings of good
Government,
2d. That the course Of recent political action
in the American Union has clearly shown the
usefulness and necessity Of our party as great
conservative organization able TO resist and put
down extreme and irnpracticable theories of gov
evnmont and social order--to preserve the Con.
stitntoRal compact between the States, from
loose and dangerous constructions, as well as
HILL -, cloal, In naccons n,
the country, when directed by local excitement
or other cause against fundamental points Of ouI
political system, and to preserve to ourselves
and to those who come after u, the rich an
invaluable legacy Of free and wellordered insti'
tntions established by our fathers.
3D.. That to the existence and efficiency o
oar party, adherence to its rules and usages is
essential, and that right, reason ard experience
prove that, without such adherence, division
disaster and defeat are inevitable all departure,
therefore, from. our party laws in State or 10
cal action, are to be deprecated and resisted, Il.
evidently fraught with the elements of danger
injury and eventul destruction
4th. That in behalf Of the Pennsylvania De
raocracy in addition to The re-afiirmaton Of oul
past principles and policy, We announce as rules
FOR our future action the limitation of public ex
penditures, to moderate all necessary outlays-
the sparing and careful grants to corporate pow
er--the enactment o laws in obedience to pub
lie opinion, rather than in advance or contemp
of fit--occasional and prudent amendments o
the Cor stitution rs experience may demonstrate
them TO he necessary to the welfare and protec
ton of the people--the encouragement of virtue
and intelligence as the supports Of our political
system the rigid accountability Of public ser.
wants, and the cultivation of Just and amicablt
relations with our sister States, without subser
viency to tie passions or policy of any Of them
with frank concession Of the constitutional
and equal rights ofeach. These are grounds up
oa which, as heretofore, We purpose to maintaig
tho character Of our Commonwealth as a free
powerful and illlstrious member Of the AmeIi
gan Union.
9Th. That wc recommend to the support O
6le people, the candidates nominated by th
wsll qualified for the posts to which they hay,
been respectively named, in the full assurance

dut'as with fidelity and success.

party and the country, upon the triumphant elec
mon Of James Buchanan and John G. Breckin-
ridge to the Presidency and Vice Presidency 0

renee to the Constitution and maxiins of his ia
thers, we, the representatives of the Democrat
Is party of the State in full convention assem-
bled, do most confidently pledge to our breth
ren OF the Union, wise, conservative, and con
stitutional administration of the Government
under the guidance of Pennsylvania President
7th. That in the late proceedings which re
suited in the election Of Simon Cameron to th
United States Senate, the opposition to our par
ty openly and shamcessly exhibited their lacl
Of high principles Of honor, their contempt @
the known sentiment Of the people, and thei
uttsr disregard ofthe character of the State, ant
together with the three apostates from our owl
party, by whose aid the result was accomplished
should bs everywhers denounced by all men c
true virtue and honor.
Ar. Cessna then moved to add the following
which was adopted:
Resoleed, That the thanks of the Democrat
party of Pennsylvania are due, and are hereb
rendered TO Col. John w. Forney for the ability
energy, and consunmate tact exhibited by hiI
