been expected of one who has reduced himself 80
low politically, that il Is impossible for him 10 geK
any lower. IL - rs u ~ -
esolped, That the eharge preferred against Gen.
PAckER our candidate for Governor of having voted
for the Infamous Jog Law IS 50 destitute oi truth,
that il could only have emanated from men bound
together by oafhs, the very essence Of which re-
qures them TO lie Gen. Packer not memhe:
OF either branch Of the Legislature at the time this
abounatiou passed, and, therefore, could not
have voted for it.
Res0fced, That we rejoice in the numerous acres
sions 20 ranks from the old Wing Party, who
have become disgusted with the isms and factions
controlling the opposition-and congratulate those
who have abandoned the th-bound order, and JOIN
ell the Democratic column, having performed
work OF which they will forever hereafter feel proud
and cordially invite al( others who have be-
come nauseated with the loathsome doctrines Of Abb
otionism TO come and 90 with us IN defence of hon
est and correct principles.
Res0lrcd, That not the advocates of slavery.

such doctrine. We, III Pennsylvania ahp ished Sla-

10 have fastened upon Us by the act OF any other
power than Of the will Of the sovereign freemen
within our own limits. The Democracy for al
lowing all the and Territories to do did
act for themselves III this matter-and this is The
sum and substance OF the pro-slavery sentiment Of
the Democratic Party. Let man be deceived by
The lalsehood that IN favor Of forcing slavery

Resoirra That as the Canal Commissioners are e.
Iected by thp people OF tie whole State; and,

acts, Will be OF place for us, in county
