ALTOONA, Pa, April l5.-The Pennsylvania
State Council has adjourned Wilmot was endors-
ID by 22 10 Ia. The II seeded on the ground
that the State Council had no right to recommend
ticket, but that it belonged, according to the
Constitution Of the Order, to subordinate conn
ellis.
So the regular z. N. Organization of Peunsylva-
MIA, has endors I'd the Black Republican candidate
Tor Governor. This fact is worth remembering
Southern Know-Nolhnes especially, should make
mark of it, Union d Aneeicag.
In response to the above we may say
that the Pennsylvania State Council was
thinly represented, if 1irty-niue delegates
were all that were in attendance and voted.
1t is composed of several hundred dele
gates. The Philadelphia Neros. the lead
ing organ of the National Americans, de-
clares that they will not abide by the above
decision, but intend to nominate candi-
dates of their own.
How much better are the democracy of
Pennsylvania than the present supporters
of David Wilmot? In lS47, Mr.. PioIett,
democrat, offered the following pream-
bic and resolution in the Lower House of
the Pennsylvania Legislature
"WHEREAs The existing war with Mexico may
result in the requirement. of new territory; and
pLereas, measures are now pending in Congress
having in view the appropriation of money and the
comforting OF authority upon the treaty-making
power to end this; therefore
Resolved, de-, That our Senator'S in Congress
be instructed and our Representatives be request
ed to vote against any measure whatever by which
territory will accrue TO the Union, unless, as a
part OF the fundamental law upon which any COM
pact treaty for this purpose is based, SLAVERY or
inUoluntary ssrvitude shall be forever prohibited,
except for crime"
On the 26ih January, these we're called up and

for The preamble and resolution, which it
will be noted, is nothing less than the Will
