treatment will have the desired effect.
From the Cham bersburg Valley spirt.1
The resolutions adopted by the Convention
meet a hearty concurrence. They will be re-
sponded to by the entire Democracy of the State
and by many patriotic citizens who have not
been in the habit of acting with the Democrat
&c party, and we doubt not that they will form
the groundwork OF the resolutions of the
Charleston Convention. II is upon the con-
servative ground always occupied by the De-
mocracv of Pennsylvania, that the Democracy
Of the Union can always gather with SAFE
ty.
[From the Juniata Register.I
We were present during The entire delibera-
tions fthe Convention, and safely say that
Gov. Packers administration bad out very few
friends in that Convention, and that the Gov
ernor has lost the confidence and friendship of
the Democratic party. The causes which pro-
duced this result when attributed TO bis L.
compton UiewS, is en- unmItigated falsPhooi-
Read the proceedings Of the Convention and
YOU canno; find one word which would war
rant such conclusion. Consult the majority
Of his appointments, OF his official acts, the
company that be is found in, the character of
the men who delight 10 do him honor, and you
have the cause.
! From the Star Of the North, Columbia Countyl
| There was scarcely district which did not
at once declare for :he party and the National
| Administration, and the proceedings of the Con-
vention demonstrate with what singular una
! nimity Democratic sentiment was expressed
! from all sections ofthe State. There was no
attempt on The part Of the National Drmoecgaey
I osracIse men who bad differed with their po-
itical brothers within the lines of party feqHv
md party action. They did not withhold the
| hand OF fellowship from such as had contended
with honest zeal before nominations, but fought
the common enemy atter. The party did not
do this in the State Convention. But thew did
what was right and proper, what the Democra-
cy demanded should be done. They reuuda-
ted those men who acted with the common
enemy, who spoke at Black Republican meet
lngs, and who used official position for corrupt
and selfish purposes. The Democratic, Con-
vention did these things, and in so doing repre-
sented most faithfully the wish and demand of
the party in Democratic Pennsylvania.
[From the Easton Argus.I
The Convention could take no other courss
than the one it did take; although its action
may not suit few croakers and disorganizers,
who are determined to be displeased with
everything, it will meet the appreciation of the
great mass OF the party. The Democratic par
ty should always dare TO DO RIGHT. Although
defeat may stare it in the face, il can we'll az
ford to- be defeated, if victory can be purchased
only by the sacrifice of principle or the con-
citation of those who have proven traitors in
the camp, or what is worse, unfaithful and DIS
honest public servants.
The delegation from this District voted NO
on the resolution to approve "the State policy
OF Governor Packer" They did right. In
doing so, they represented the opinion of the
entire party in this region ofthe State. Il is
an undenlable fact, that Governor Packer no
longer enjoys the confidence OF the Democrats
OF the 10th Legion, who supported him so
warmly in 1857. 1t is not his course on the
Kansas question either, that has brought about
this change, although there was nothing in
that to commend, but his open and shameless
infideIity TO his public pledges on matters of
greater interest to the taxpayers of PennsyI-
wanna than thousand miserable Kansas fights.
From the Washington Examner.J
To the exclusion of variety of other matter,
we this week give the entire proceedings Of
the Democratic Safe Convention which assem-
bled at Harrisburg, on the 10th inst. We ask
every Democrat 10 read these proceedings care
fully, and then preserve them for future refer
ence. In 1883, when our State Convention
FULLY endorsed the administration of Mr.. Bu-
chanan, IT was alleged that that Convention
did not fairly represent the Democracy of this
State. Now, in 1859, full Convention does
the same thing, with greater emphasis, # posi-
BILE; thus proving that an overwhelming maiori-
ty OF the Democrats of Pennsylvania are on the
side of the National Administration on all oues-
tons OF public policy. Is it not high time that
mere fragments OF the Democratic party, ina
few counties OF the State, should yield their oP-
position, and join krart and hand with the
great mass oftheir brethren in sustaining James
Buchanan and the Cincinnati platforml Fur
ther resistance must surely br regarded as in
subordination TO the discipline and organization
of the party. The condemnation Of Governor
9acker may serve as pointed and significant
rebuke 10 all Democrats who are inciiatd TO
give ''sid and cdmfort to the enemy
