The following resolutions, reported by Ex-
Mavog Vaux, were then unanimously adopted
Wheysas. The Democrats from all parts OF
the Commonwealth Of PENNSYLVANIA, in mass
convention assembled, in favor of tn. regular
organization of the Democratic party, lis
nominations, usages and principles, 90 hereby
soemnly declare and resolve, First, That we
ratIty and confirm the resolutions and nomlna-
ton OF the late State Democratic Convention
held al Reading. Second, That We ratify and
. confirm the resolutions and nominations adopted
and made by the only regularly organized
Democratic National Convention held a,
Charleston and Baltimore.
Taird, That We hereby proclaim our
sincere, faithful, energetic and uncompro onisi7g
support Of the nominee of our State Coarrntion,
the Hon. HENRY D. Foster, for Governor, and
Of the National Democratic Convention, the
Hon. STEPHEN A. DoUGLAs, OF Illinois, for
President, and tae Hon. HrRscHEL Y. JogH-
SON. Of Georgia, Tor Vice President OF The Uu,-
ted States.
Fourth, That We hereby solemnly protect
against the proceedings Of the Democratic
State Committee held at Philadelphia On the
second Of July, 1860. First. Because SAID
action of that Committee was unwaFIantrd by
the terms and authority OF its appointment
Second, That II was in opposition 20 tue in
structlons and resolutions of the Reading Con-
vention, from which it alone derived IT'S Official
authority. Third, That il thereby proposes 10
release the electors from the only duty rDjDlned
on them to vote Tor the regular candidates
Nominated BY the regularly constituted National
Convention of the Democracy OF the United
States, and undertakes to authorize and Justify
said Electors to vote tor candidates other than
those so regularly dominated Fourth, That said
action of the Stale Committee is contrary to the
usages Of the party, tends to break up it3 Of
ganzatIon, recognizes direct opposition 10 its
NOMINEES and would prevent the masses OF the
party from voting tor DouGLAs and JOHNSON
for President and Vice President OF the United
States and whereaS, therefore, IN the present
coudltlon OF the Democratic party thus induced
by the disappointing action OF the State Com
mhttee, II becomes necessary for the Democrat
lc PARTY 10 take such decided and unmisakabe
ground as will put to rest all doubts az to its
feelings, wishes, opinions and duty in the pres-
ent crisis, Therefore be IT hereby ResoIred and
declared that The proposed plan OF the Dem
ocra,lc State Committee for fusion and com
promise is antl-Democ!a!ic, will not be SANG
toned BY full meeting OF the Committee and
vii! be rejected by the Democratic masses, and
IN order, therefore, to test the truth Of our
convictions, We demand that at the meeting
OF the Democratic State Convention, TO be held
at Cresson on thP 9th OF August, it shall rpscind
IT'S action OF the Cd OF July, and proceed 10
interrogate the electors. # they are prepared
to obey The Instructions of the R-ading Con-
vention, and vote for the regularly nominated
Democratic candidates of the party, DouGLAs
and JOHNSON and on replies OF the electors.
