ZONE House." RESOLUTIONS up
at Pittsburgh.-There's considerable of mu-
nicipal and political muss up about Pittsburgh
these days-which is the topic and burden of
the newspapers there7-the Gazette and the
True Press monopolizing the lions share of it,
One of the Anti-Tax, Anti Railroad, anti-every-
thing else conventions or crowds, or whatever
it might be called has been having meeting
lately, and the Gazette reports as among its
proceedings the following. We suppose the
Gazette reporter is man of broad imagina-
ton, and being 50, has brought small modi-
cum of it into play. Any how, the report is
readable:
The farce of nominations being concluded,
and the whole Democratic ticket endorsed, Mr..
Chambers offered a resolution declaring that in
the opinion of this Convention, Mr.. Buchanan's
administration is entitled to the support. of the
Democratic party. Lost by an almost unani-
nous vote.
Some one then offered resolution requesting
Mr.. Perkins, one OF the County Commissioners,
to resign, and to appoint a committee Of three
to inform him of its passage. Passed, amid
loud cheers, after which, in the midst of great
confusion, during which voices were heard de-
nouncing the Convention as humbug, &C., } n
ulOlIOIl " tlHJOdlIl Nus put dtlu ChTTleus.
We did not receive copy of the other reso-
lutions, but from our recollection of them they
read somewhat as follows:
WltSreGs, Men in state of nature, are equal
in rights, and no one has alright TO lake more
than he needs, therefore
Res0LUed, That this Convention approves of
the philosophy of Mr. Midshipman Easy, that
every man has right to take what his necessi-
ties may dictate, wherever he can find it.
ResOtOed, That no man has right to take or
hold more than he needs; and that therefore we
go for an equal share of the good things of this
world
Res0trel That rs one man can occupy onlylone
house, those who own more than one ought to
give to those who have none. Taxation would
thus become equal.
RetO1Ced, That the right to the soil is only
furrow deep, and does not extend into the bow
els of the earth; therefore the right to coal and
other minerals belongs to those who dig them,
not to the owners of the soil.
Resolrecl, That plank roads are better than
railroads, and thatall railroads that run parallel
to plank roads are unconstitutional.
Res0LUed, That Brigadier General McIlhenny,
Johnny B. Kicked, Brigadier Gen. VIM. Robin
son, John M. Irwin, and all others who take free
passes from railroads, are dishonest men. Let
no such men be trusted.
ResolUed, That we are opposed to railroad
taxes, school taxes and road taxes; and that we
will lick any Supervisor who tries to make us
work out our road taxes
ResOlred, That if Matt. HARRISON will only
hold his tongue, and let Rody Patterson elect
his brother in-law Sheriff this time, we will, if
he behaves himself and votes the whole ticket,
make him Sheriff in 1851 (may be.)
Res0lrea, That the members of this Conven-
ton erect themselves into Mutual Admiration
Society, and that Thomas Williams be elected
President thereof, the exclusive use of the pro-
noun 81, !" being hereby vested in him..
ResoEred, That we are the patriots and that
patriotism will die with us.
Resoloed, That Ed. Campbell Hickory Phil
lips and Rody Patterson, be appointed a COM
mittee to pull the wool over the eyes of the
anti-tax Republicans and get them to vote the
locofoco ticket
Resoloed, That Jim Barr may go to thunder
with the Post. Tho True Press is the only pa
per, and johnny B. Kicked is its editor.
ResolOed, That the three thousand democrats
of Allegheny county who will not vote the loco
foco ticket have been bought by the railroads,
and are an alarming instance of the growing
power of those monopoles.
ReSoEpe9, That our candidates for the legisIa.
ture, ifgelected, are hereby instructed to walk
to Harrisburg and back, to avoid the contami-
nation of railroads
