THE REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION,
the proceedings of which we publish in
another column, met in Harrisburg, on the
18th inst, and nominated candidates for
auditor General and Surveyor General
1t was composed of the best talent in the
State, men ofintegrity, and devoted to the
principles which from the creed of the Re-
publican party, after preliminary cau-
Gus, in which full and fair discussion of
the relative merits Of the candidates was
accomplished, and the wishes of their con-
stituency ascertained, they assembled with
a full determination to nominate none but
good, capable and honest men; having
more regard for the integrity of Republican
principles, and the ultimate strength of the
Republican party, than to the success
Of any one individual, who, himself, or
through his friends, presented claims for
nomination, that might appeal to their per-
sonal feelings and sympathies. They have
made such nominations ; and have placed
the candidates upon aplatform as sound as
oak. 1t is impossible for good sense and
patriotism, having due regard to the wants
of men, and the advancing spirit Of the
age, 10 reject any part fit
Pennsylvania is Republican State, and
Republicans can now go into the CAM
paign, not only with full and honest de-
termination to win the victoiy-but with
an assurance that the success they labor
for is merited, and must and will follow
their intelligent and determined efforts
The utmost harmony and good feeling pre-
vailed in the Convention. Harmony and
good feeling pervade and control the Re-
publican ranks; and, remembering the
momentous issues of the future, depending
upon Pennsylvania Republicans, we will
pull strongly and altogether, abating
nothing of heart or hope or labor until the
final triumph comes.
