BERKs COUNTY CONVENTION

AT the democratic convention of Bcrks county Penn
sylvani held in Reading Saturday last to nominate
candidate for Congress- the following resolutions were
adopted
ReSolued That reairm every principle set forth in
the resolutions adopted at our former meeting that
eiterate undated and mistaken confidence in James
Buchanan, and that at former period have chung
to the democratic and its glorious chief
Buchanan with stronger faith and loyal devotion
than at this hour. Time will yet demonstrate the wis
dom and justice of his every act, and the future historian
will rank his administration as the 'tGdoi 4go where
in the love of the constitution and strict adherence to
principle oveawed the fanatcism of enemies and crush
ed the treachery of prefdssed friends,
Resolved That in the result of the late elections there
is nothing to alarm dsnay the true democnt A dis
reputable alliance of back-republicans -nohings,
and dsorganizers claiming to be democrats has achieved
temporary but fruitIess victory The great truths Of
the democratic faith indeby written upon the hearts
of the people, and their second sober thought will hurl
from position the trcksters who have deceived misled
and betrayed them.
Resolved That the defeat of candidate for Congress-
the Hon j. CLANCY JONES' is result to be depored not
alone by his immediate constituents, but also by the
democracy Of the Union. Patriotic in his views, truly
democratic in bis acts and upright in his motives no
shining mark for the shafts OF bacrcpublicans know
nothings, and deserters from the democratic ranks
Stricken down because he dared to be national raduced
because he adhered with answering fidelity to the demo-
cratic party and pursued with bitter magnity by dsor
ganzers and disappointed applicants for Office, account
of his relations Of personal friendship with the President
his defeat is not to be wondered at. The victim of
fused opposition, His hour of triumph will surely come,
when the democracy of the nation rallies to glo
rous victory the leagued hordes of the opposition
and their allies EEaa5
Reoued That the cordial thanks Of the democracy of
Bers county hereby rendered to the President of the
United States for the appointment of j. CLANCY Jones as
Minister to Austria fitting tribute to his personal
worth eminent ability, and commanding public position,
it clearly demonstrates to and to the country the firm
determination of the administration to uphold patriotic
men, who adhere to constitutional doctrines and stand
with mistaken faith by the democratic creed.
ResolpaR, That in Joel D. Wanner We have candidate
for Congress in every way qualified to discharge the du
ties of that responsible position, with credit to himself
and advantage to his constituents sound national dem
ocra the firm friend of the President and consistent sup
porter of every of his administration he is
thy Of and will receive the cordial support of every
who claims to be a democrat.

attacks on the frontier of white Settlements giving
him the choice Of time place, and mode Of attack

SENATOR'S FROM NORTH CAROLINA.

We learn from Raleigh that a caucus OF the demo
cratic members 81 the North Carolina legislature has
agreed upon candidates for the federal Senate to
fill the vacancy oocasioned by tho resignation Of
Judge Bggs and the one about TO occur by the exp-
ration of Gov. Reid's term of service
We are glad to learn that for the first Of these va
cancies Mr.. Cngman has been nominated by acclama-
ton; aud, as the democratic nomination is equiv
alent to election, have the happiness to con-
graduate Mr.. C.s numerous friends and political adj
mirers of his certain election TO the Senate
For the prospective vacancy we learn that after a
few ballottings, Governor Thomas Bragg, the pres
ent able and popular Executive Of North Carolina,
has been named by his party. Weexceedngly re-
greet the loss of so sterling democrat as Senator
Reid from the federal Legislature, of which he has
been one of the most useful members a long time,
and regret that considerations of locality should have
operated to his prejudice as resident in the west
portion of the State; but if we must needs lose
Mr. Reid, no man from all eastern North Carolina
could have been found more acceptable by reputation
to the democracy of the Union than Gov. Bragg.
North Carolina may well be congratulated on the
prospect of being represented in the Senate by two
gentlemen of the ability and popularity of Messrs.
Clingman and Bragg

THE MESSAGE OF THE GOVERNOR OF SOUTH
CAROLINA

The legislature of South Carolina met on Tuesday last
Shortly after the organization Governor Aston sent in
his message He calls the attention of the Legislature to
the duty of electng United States senator in the place
of Senator Evans refers in terms of congratulaon to
the progress of the railroads and other internal improve
of the State recommends the Investment of south
capital more in southern improvements and less in
northern securities refers in terms Of dsapprova to in
cendary resolutions against slavery by the freeSatc
legislatures declaring such resolutions undeservng OF
response and exhorng the States to cultivate moral vr
tues industrious domestic habits and TO observe scrupu
ously all the federal obligations He then refers to the
recent SLAYER presenting in strong relief the devo
ton to law and order of the people of South Carolina
but expresses regret at their occurrence productive OF
unwonted excitements. He questions the proprety of
interfering in such with the commerce OF the
Inhabitants of Cuba and expresses the belief that while
the navy Of the United States may under the consttn
ton be charged With preventing slave trade between
the coast of Africa and shores 1t is policy to let
foreign nations regulate their affairs and enforce their
police The remainder of the message is confined to
State policy recommending, among other things, re-
peal of the usury laws.
