After considerable debate the rcso.

The committee on resolutions pre-
sented the following report:
We, the delegates Of the Demo
cratic party Of Pennsylvania in gen
cral State Convention assembled, for
the nomination of a candidate for
Judge Of the Supreme Court, pro
foundly grateful to THE Supreme Ruler
of the Universe for the return Of peace
to our beloved country, but deeply
anxious on account of the trials and
delays which impede the complete
restoration and reunion Of all the
States, and approaching the dangers
which still threaten the safety of ouI
political institutions, and the future
peace, liberty and prosperity Of the
people, resolve,
l. That we steadfastly adhere to
the principles Of civil government
established by the founders of the
Onion; aud in tho present conflict Of
Legislative usurpation with constitu.
tional law, we esteem a wise, upright
and fearless Judiciary the great bull
wark Of public liberty and individual
right.
| .. That the Union of the States is
perpetual, and the Federal Govern
ment supreme within its constitu-
tional limits
8. That Representation in the Con.
gress Of the United States, and in the
electoral college, is a right fundamen-
tai and iudostructible in its nature
and abiding in every State, being a
duty as well as a right pertaining to
the people Of every State and essen-
tial to our Republican system Of Gov.
ernment. Its denial is the destruc-
ton of the Government itself
4. Each State having under the
/ Constitution the exclusive right TO
prescribe the qualifications Of its own
electors, We proclaim us a usurpation
and an outrage the establishment OF
negro suffrage in any of the States
by the coercive exercise of Federal
power; and we shall resist TO the last
! esort the threatened measures Of the
leaders of the Republican party to
interfere by acts of Congress with the
regulation OF the elective franchise in
the State of Pennsylvania.
5. That we are opposed TO any
amendment Of the Constitution Of the
State giving to negroes the right Of
suffrage.
6. That tho failure Of the Tariff
Bill in the last session of the late Con
gress, more than three-fourths Of
whose members belonged to the Re.
publican party, is an illustration Of
their infidelity to their pledges and
their neglect of their professions In
relation TO the great industrial and
financial interests of the country.
Z. That the Radical majority in
/ Congress, and those who sustain them,
have overthrown the Constitution,
dismembered the Federal Union and
subverted republican government by
long series Of usurpations, among
which are the following:
Their denial of the right of States
of the Union TO representation in Con
gress.
Their treatment of ten States as
subiugatod provinces, aud governing
them by military f5rco in time o
peace.
Their enactment Of laws denying
indemnity for arrests and false i'm
