oVnh nrfon Ce Har~
the reading Of the foregoing resolutions attempted to
offer resolution endorsing the course of Governor Packer
but was ruled out of order until the resolutions reported
ny the committee had all been adopted, when he offered
the following
Resolved That approve the State policy of Governor

command our commentator.
In advocating his resolution, Mr.. Iamberton said that
he regretted that the committee had attempted to make
thrust at Governor Packer by emitting to notice his ad
mnistraton. That course OF the committee without
precedent the history Of the party in this State He
bad drawn this resolution carefully and mentioned moth
ing but his State policy leaving certainly objection or
barrier in the way Of endorsement by those who were
opposed to Gov. Packer certain national ISSUE He
regretted to hear members this floor ignore concession
he wished them to consider where such course was
leading them. If Gov. Packer ignored where would
his friends who considered the Governors views right up
on certain national question (an ecompton)- there
are great many in the democratic pary-be found?
What would be the fate Of the party the Tues
day Of October nex Would il be victorious and
struck down so good democrat as Gov VIM F. Packer
and destroyed their party Let them adopt this resolu
ton, ana they could all 60 home friends and the com
mttee would have been successful in building platform,
and not ecafold TO become their gibbet. He thought
that the friends Of the Governor had acccded TO great
by being willing not to ask endorsement
Of his views the slavery question Let the other side
do half as much and harmony would prevail.
MT snowden, OF Philadelphia, replied that there
no compromise principle Gov. Packer, or any other
man, was not anything to him. he was in favor OF bold
national policy.
