of the administration one of the evening be-
fore.

Mulliu, Robert Ralston, AMI Philip Evans, we're

The meeting was thec addressed by Messrs.
King, Filler, Jordan and Russell, who all ac-
quilted themselves admirably, and we're fre-
quently interrupted by loud bursts Of applause.
The Resolutions we're read BY S. L. Russell,
Esq. 1t will be seen that the delegates are
instructed to support Hon. Francis Jordan for
Auditor General. The course of our represeu-
tatiyes, Williams and Walker, is very properly
approved:
Resofved, That in the political history of this
nation no administration has ever proved itself
so utterly uuworthy of confidence and respect
the present; that It's disregard of the wants
and sutferings of the people; its failure at the
recent session of Congress to modify the Tariff
so as to protect our PROSTATE home industry,
aud to raise revenue necessary TO defray the ex-
penses Of the government; its refusal 10 donate
the public lands in small quantities to actual
settlers, whilst squandering them in large grants
to insolgent corporations and corrupt political
favortes; its persistent efforts TO insult and de-
grade weaker nations, and under false preten-
ecs to wrench from them their territories for
the palpable object of extending the area of
human bondage: its corrupt interference in To-
cal elections; its unprecedented extravaganza in
wasting the public money, and plungiDg the
country over sixty millions in debt in the short
space of two years, aod in time of profound
psdc5, It's ats III paIlI1du
aad corruption in all its departments, have
brought upon it tho righteous indignation of a
deeply injured people.
ReSolred, That the recent kindred schemes
90 clothe the executive with an armed protec-
4orate oger the territories of sister republic
gth whom we are at peace; and to place in his
hands the thirty million Cuba corruption fund:
thus attempting to wrest from the legislature
of 4 L
in the elearest light she monarchical tendencies
Of the present administration; their utter disre-
spect for their constitutional obligations and
tempt for the law of nations.
RdSolre9, that Notwithstanding The present
gleomy condition Of our national affairs, we
hal iu the recent elections, throughout the land
the dawn of bright political future They
proclaim in most emphatic language that the
accumulated crimes of the sham democracy are
being attributed to their true sources, and that
the appropriate punishment is being meted out,
in no stinted measure, they point with unerring
certainty to a glorious and benefcent triumph
of Freedom in 1860. The six New England
States in sweeping every tool of the Slave
power out of both branches Of Congress have
fastened upon the delinquents brand of rep
i0bailon that DO party can wear and live.
hfSUUS"3 Audl buc present. Dtate auHlHiStFa-
ton has accomplished more coed and less harm
than any of its predecessors of the same po-
htical faith, because less Democratic,-a yet
the democratic Senate, true to the instincts Of
its party, persissently refused to reduce our State
taxes by enac;ing the bill passed unanimously
By the House fer that purpose, aud which was
demonstrated TO be entirely consistent With the
continued dit Of the State.
Resolved. that we are highly gratiied with
she faithfalness, integrity and intelligence with
which our representatives, Geo. w. Williams
aad Geo. u. Walker, discharged their duties du-
ring the last session of the legislature, and that
they are justly entitled to the appreciation Of
their fellow ctizeus. We commend them to
continued confidence and support of their con,
stituents.
Resolved that we hereby concur IN the ap-
pciatmen. of J. Sewell Stewart, Esq, of Hunt
ingdon as tbe Senatorial delegate from this Dis
frief 10 the State Convention to be held at Har-
risburg on the Sth of June next, TO nominate
candidates FOR Auditor General and Surveyor
