The failure OF the Republican party to

adopted unanimously:
WHEREAS, The dismembermen& of the
Union, by the withdrawal of the slave
holding States, now in rapid progress, has
been occasioned by departure from the
Democratic construction of the Constitution
of the United States, which holds "the
equality of the States of the Confederacy, ;"
in respect to persons and property, to be q
fundamental principle of such Constitution,
and by contemplated abandonment of the
conservative Democratic policy which has,
for sixty years past, sacredly guarded "the
rights of the States," and developed the
resources and capacities of the people by
domestic legislation thus guiding the
whole country to an omincnce prosperity
and renown:
and 10hereaS, A speedy recognition of
the patriotic counsels and conservative
policy of the Democratic party in the
Administration of the Federal Government,
by the people of Pennsylvania and of the
other non slaveholding States, is the only
and sure means of effecting a permanent
construction of dissolying Confeder-
acy:
and 'chereas, The organization of the
Democratic party of Pennsylvania, hitherto
''the keystone Of the Federal Arch" now
harmonious, potent and animated by love
of country, and of the true principles OF the
Constitution, is entirely competent, if called
