The Democracy of Pennsylvania.

A Democratic State Convention was held
at Harrisburg Pennsylvania, on the 10th inst.
Among the resolutions adopted was one de-
claring that ':the Democracy of Pennsylva-
MIA have always advocated, and still advo-
cate, an adequate encouragement and dis
eliminating protection of iron and coal, and
of the industrial interests OF the State, within
the scope of a tariff for necessary revenue"
Another resolution declares that - the ac-
quisilion of the Island of Cuba by honorable
and peacedble means, would be Of vast i'm
portance to this country, and that "the pro-
position of the President to obtain possession
of the Island by fair purchase" from Spain,
was "a manly and upright step towards the
attainment of so desirable an object
Other resolutions were adopted approba-
tory of the entire policy Of the Administra-
ZION.
The following resolution, offered by Mr..
COLLINS. was not adopted.
Reyolued, That it is the opinion of this Con-
vention that the Republicans will elect their
ticket, next fall, by 10000 majority.
This Convention, it should be understood,
represented only the Lecompton-Buchanan
wing of the Democracy of Pennsylvania An
other Convention has been called for the 18th
of April to represent the other wing, and to
"vindicate the principles of the Democratic
party" alleged to have been Outraged and
insulted'' by the Convention held on the
10th inst, and to ''proclaim its confidence in
Governor PACKER, who was assaulted and
prescribed at the Federal dictation."

rs- Mr., JONI NJ Boris has written lie

Eg- Mr.. JOHN NJ. Boris has written let
ter to the Richmond Enquirer, in which he
SAYS, in explanation of the charge brought
against him, that he would "unite with free
negroes to put down the Democracy that in
the speech referred to he said only
"sTbat If there was State in the Union
composed entirely of free negroes. and the
Constitution gave them the right to vote. l
would be- much obliged to them to help me to
beat the Democratic party and so | would.
and Mr.. Letcher and all his party would, as
all know, make every effort aud sacrifice to
secure their votes to keep them in power.
But will Mr.. Letcher. as lawyeE, politi-
clan, a gentleman. or "a man of sense. say that
this Language justified him in saying of me,
before a crowd of his constituents, and in my
absence, with no one to represent me or cor
rect him, that l had said was willing to
mute with free negroes, on any terms or for
any purpose. First, il was apparent to all
that my remrrk was but an illustration OF my
decp-seated aud earnest conviction of the ne
cessity for aud determination TO use all con-
stitutional and lawful means TO accomplish
the defeat of the Democracy, and not as
proposition to seek their aid, even for the
reason that there was nc such State in the
Union, and never could be; and, secondly, to
receiue aid from them was very different from
uniting with them. as everybody is Obliged to
know who understands the weight and mean
ing of the English language"

The following from the Memphis AraLdHchs
is applicable. to some extent, in this city:

The following from the Memphis AraiGnchs
is applicable, to some extent, in this city:
1.-THE most thankless Office in existence is
that of Alderman. Every abandoned black
guard and newspaper scribbler feels at liberty
to attack the City Council. The office of AL
derman is Que of high responsibility, of labor,
aud toll; all of which is a public gratuity.
Ii is enough for men TO sacrifice the ease and
comforts of the home tireside without being
required to submit to the still greater annoy
ance of unmerited abuse. The City Council
is generally composed of our best citizens;
each ward elects men OF known integrity and
business capacity, but 1t will be difficult to
secure the services Of such men for the
future unless the unjust abuse made upon
them has some justice or limit Who will
hereafter desire to take the position, when
the only reward for the thankless Office is the
constant aud unmeasured abuse Of disappolnt-
ed expectantsl The members of our Board
of Aldermen have at heart the public good
of the city. There is no motive for them 10
do wrong; and il is unjust aud ungenerous To
assail aud earicature ihem In the discharge Of
their duty.
We are led to these remarks by the perusal
of a violent and abusive communication
which We have received against the city au-
thoritics on account Of sundry official acts at
which our correspondent has taken oiiense.
We can never lend our columns 10 the abuse
Of men " hom We know are laboring TO pro-
mote the public good, aud who have no mo-
tive in INJECTING public wrong.
Nashville patriot. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1858-1860, 1859-03-25

power should be reserved in all cases 20
change, modify or abolish these private and
privileged interpretations as the public good
shall demand"
Here is a recommendation to refuse the re-
chartering of the Union and Planters Banks.
and 10 refuse to charter any bank institution
whose charter cannot be under the control
and direction of the Legislature. What set
OF sane men having capital to bank upon,
would ever consent to receive and organize
under charter that would be subjected to
the control of the Legislature? 1t is likely
that men having means and who would en-
gage in banking, would go 10 the expense Of
organizing and issuing notes for circulation,
with the prospect that before they had well
gotten under way, by the caprice of subse--
quent Legislature, they might find their
charter arrested and their means tied up in
liquidation! 1t seems TO me that the intelli-
genee of the people dictated this course, and
that its adoption by the Soft Bapkites- has
forever scaled the doom of banking in Ten
nessee. Ies.F I'll. eH EfF Fs
According to this Interpretation, it is clear
that the .hards" of the party regard the res
outions respecting the currency as having
forever sealed the doom of Banking in Ten
nessee." ,rr-sgTt ..-tr.
To the same general effect is an article in
the Union and american of yesterday, quoting
the sixth resolution as above, and comment
ing thus: This doctrine so just in itself and
so necessary in State which, likevours. has
groaned under the tyranny and despotism of
banking institutions" &c. &c. Thus directly
connecting the resolution respecting corpOr-
atoms with the questions and privileges Of
banking.
We bad given the Democratic Convention
credit for honesty and fairness in this matter,
a credit which the above facts would not
seem to justify. We now call upon the Dem
ocratic press throughout the State to answer
to us and to the people, whether they under
stand the currency plank of their platform
as favoring ''well regulated banking sys-
tent" or as "forever scaling the doom of
banking institutions in Tennessee and as
pledging the Democratic party to the policy
of an exclusively metallic currency? We
also call upon the Opposition candidates
throughout the State. if the question is not
settled before, at every meeting during the
campaign, to PROFOUND this interrogatory,
and let it be shirkcd or answered face TO face
with the people. We cannot permit so essen
tial doubt to pass in silence-it must not be
permitted to sleep till it is extinguished.

Col. w. Il. StOk0s.

We are authorized to announce this morn
ing, Col. STOKES as a candidate for Congress
in the 4th District of this State. So far as
we are informed there will he no convention
of the Opposition held in that District, and
Col. S.. having received urgent solicitations,
public aud private, to become candidate.
has consented to do so. He is gentleman
well and favorably known throughout the
District and will make a thorough and able
canvass We trust that all who are in heart
opposed to the rule of the sham democracy
will rally to his support, and that the District
may be redeemed and wrested from the hands
of the democracy III the national councils.
Col. SAVAGE will, of course, be his competitor
and we shall expect warm and vigorous
canvass on both sides. Let the sovereign
people be but fully aroused and informed OF
of the sad condition of our national affairs,
and we have but little fear for the result

slavery and the next Presidential
Election.

That able and eminently conservative
journal, the Philadelphia North American, de-
precates a sectional contest for the next Presi-
dency, and declares it would feel but little
pleasure in merely sectional triumph" 1t
says:
Natural causes. the laws of political econo-
N.Y. are working out the problem of slavery.
Why, then. should it continue to miDgle in
the politics of the country? Why should this
question still continue to veX and disturb the
public reposc, and divide this Union into
hostile camps, as il were, and build up what
was so much feared and deprecated by the
founders of the republic, geographical par
ties! Must all other questions be postponed
to this? Must the fanatical pro-slavery man
on the one side, aud the fanatical anti-slavery
man on the other. usurp the public attention,
and with their hobby override all other con-
siderations. Is the foreign and domestic policy
of the government TO be ignored, and our
Presidential elections to be decided with sole
reference to the popular sentiment respecting
slavery!
We trust not. Wedesire TO behold the OPP
position conteuding for the supremacy of
such principles of administration and such
views public policy as will make their ban
ner welcome in every State, from New Eng
land TO the Rio Grande. Wedeprecate Sec
tional contest, and should have bat little
pleasure in a merely sectional triumph.
Such, we believe to be the views of large
majority Of the intelligent thinking portion
of the people of The Tree States. Bot these
views Ind as little favor with the Republican
aspirants at the North they do with the
Democratic leaders of the South, whose vo-
cation would he gone were slavery agitation
70 cease. They do not intend that il ever
shall cease il they eau by any means keep it
going.

FATAL AcCIDEST.-A distressing occurrence
took place yesterday morning, about three
miles east of Raleigh, which we regret to
learn resulted IN the death of Jas. p. Means,
an old and much esteemed citizen of that To-
cality. Mr.. Means was experimenting the
telling of ION his plantation, which,
falling in an opposite direction to the one ex-
pected, and upon his person, crushed him in
a terrible manner. His injuries were so Sc
we're that he only survived them for about
two hours. Deceased, we are Informed, was
near eighty years of age. the father of large
family, and justly regarded a one of the wor-
thiest and most pubhc-spirited citizens of
Shelby county.-hnphis Bulletin.

FRAUDULENT COTroN PAcKNG.-Judge W.
T. Brown communicates the following to the
Memphis APeaL.:
'.Our code provides that any person who
shall fraudulently pack any cotton or other
article of produce, shall be fined not less
than fifty or more than five hundred dollars,
and may be imprisoned not more than six
months.
''This act limits the Imprisonment to six
months. There can be no doubt that the
fraudulent selling and obtaining money. for
fraudulently packed or baled cotton, would
be embraced under the offence of obtaining
goods under false pretences. and would be
punishable by confinement in the peniten-
tiary"

Is the Currency Plank OF the Demo-
cratic Platform a Triekf

Having Interpreted the resolution of the
Democratic Convention respecting the cur
rency. to be "a clear enuncation in favor
OF well regulated banking system"
writer in the Banner doubts the correctness of
the Interpretation. and insists that, though
wTdsd so as to convey that idea. the plat
form taken altogether is really designed 10
be against the re-charter OF the Union and
Planters Banks, and as blow to any sort Of
q banking systtm. Is this truei Is il pos
sible that the democracy OF Tennessee, with
q majority of more than ten thousand, are
reduced To the necessity of avowing one set
OF opinions, and actually holding another!
II such was their deliberate purpose, they
certainly deserve at the hands Of the people
tue severest Condemnation.
In addition TO the suggestions of the
Banner contributor. we observe the follow
ing communication In the Memphis Avalanels,
which shows that we were probably deceived
In the construction we placed on the resola-
tions OF the State Conventions:
MEssRs EDrroRs: have carefully read the
resolutions of the Nashville Convention aud

ing to them than that they look to the Glti-
mate abolition of all the chartered bank insti-
tntions Of the State. The nth resolution sets
out t..that it was intended by the trainers Of
the Constitution that gold aud silver should
be the legitimate currency OF our people. aud
we deeply regret that banking institutions
and paper circulation should ever have been

tions" &C., &c. What does this mean.

Democratic SpecuIatiOns on the Presi-
dencY.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer
says:
Il have the best authority for stating that
Senator Douglas will not be before the
Charleston Convention as candidate for the
Presidency. He will be one Of the delegates,
and will have a considerable share in de-
termining who the nominee shall be. Demo-
cratic opinion seems to be settling down be-
tween Vice President Breckenridge and Gen.
j.. Lane. The South would prefer Houston
as their first choice, but failing in him will drive
between Kentucky and Oregon. The North
will then settle the controversy"
Upon this the St. Louis Republican, an
adherent of Mr. DOUGLAS, remarks:
Very little reliance can be placed upon
either of the assertions cantained in the above
extract. Mr.. Douglas is just as likely to go
before the Charleston Convention for nominal
ton. as Mr.. Hunter. Mr.. Wise, or anybody
else. He may or he may not be a delegate
to the Convention, just as it suits him. AS
to Mr.. Breckenridge. he is young enough to
90 over to a future time; and as to Gen. 10.
Lane, if the Democratic party is reduced to
any such shifts. the sooner 1t goes into
liquidation the better. He has not one soli-
tary qualification for the place. We heard
him once attempt to make speech In the
House of Representatives, and then To Rad "a
resolution which he had offered in that body.
He could not do it-he had not written 1T.
although he had fathered it. Mr.. Disney, OF
Cincinnati. was the author of the resolution,
and it was read by him to the House, after
which General Lane continued his speech.
Certainly the Democratic party will not CON
slider the claims to the Presidency of so
ignorant man as this; or, if they do, no
respectable man will think of supporting
him.
