Resolret, That as representatives of the
great party founded by dr jefferson, we sa-
Lutte our brethren of the other States with coz
gratulations upon the suspicious and just re
suit of the Presidential election, achieved by
our united efforts and sacrifices, with the aid
of patriotic men theretofoTe attached to other
political bodies, and necessary, as we believe,
to the honor and prosperity of our common
country, and the continuance amongst Us of
the blessings, Of good government
I'd That the course of recent political ac-
ton in the American Union has clearly shown
the usefulness and necessity of our party as
great conservative organization, aLle to re
sist and put down extreme and impracticable
theories of government and social ordcr-to
preserve the constitutional compact between
the States from loose and dangerous construc-
check the passions OF the country, when d.
rected by local excitement of other cause a
gainst fundamental points of our political sys-
ten, and to preserve to ourselves and to those
who come after us, the rich and invaluable
legacy of free and we'll ordered institutions

3D. That to the existepce and efficiency of
our party adherence to It's rules aud usagcs is
essential, and that right reason and experience
prove that without such adherence, division
disaster and defeat are inevitable; all depar-
lures. therefore, from Our party laws, in State
or local action, are to be deprecated and re.
sisted, as evidently fraught with elements Of
danger, injury. and eventual destruction
4th. That in behalf of the Pennsylvania
Democracy, in addition to the re affirmation
of our past principles and policy, We announce
as rules for our future action the limitation
of public expenditures, to moderate all neces.
sary outlays-the sparing and careful grants
to corporate power-the enactment of laws in
obedience to public opinion, rather than il
advance or contempt of occasional and
prudent amendments of the Constitution as
experience may demonstrate them to be ne
cessary to the welfare and protection of the
people-the encouragement Of virtue and in
telllgence as the supports Of our political sys-
tem-the rigid accountability Of public ser
wants and the cultivation of just and amicable
relations with our sister States, without sub.
seryiency to the passions or policy of any Of
them. but with frank concession of the con
stitutional and equal rights of each-thcs,
are grounds upon which, as heretofore, W,
purpose to maintain the character ot our Com
monwealth as free, powerful and illustriou
mem GER OF the American Union.
9th. That we recommend to the support O
people, the candidates nominated bv thi
Convention, as men of character and cxperi

party and the country upon the triumphan
election OF James Buchanan and John G
Breckenridge to the Presidency and Vic
Presidency.of the United States, and that ii
view of the whole peEtital history of Mr.

aud patriotic adherence to the Constitution
and to the maxims of his fathers, we, the re
presentatives of the Democratic party of th
State, in full Convention assembled. do mos
