\ RIula lttar an pf hat
mittee on Resolutions, submitted tie follow
ing:
ReSotoed. That the Democratic party, whiis
in the future as in the past, firmly uphol ds
The Constitution of the United States as the
foundation and limitation of the powers ol
the General Government, and the safe shield
of the liberties OF the people, demands for
the citizen the largest freedom consistent
with public order, and for every State the
i right of sef government that to Uphold the
! former aud practice the latter the d D-mocracy
| of Pennsy Ivania can find no better platform
upon which to stand than the great leadin 9
) principles enuuciated 10 the inauguIa al ad-
dress of President } fer, on and the farewell
address Of the immortal jackson. Upon
I these two great State papers we p'sat our
selves and enter the contest # 1872.
| ResOlUed. That abused as the public conf
dence has been by long period of official
! msmanagement, waste and fraud. this Con-
vention invites the co operation of all CITIZENS
/ of the Commonwealth in the earnest effort
/ which the great constituency it represents is
| about to make to remove from our State al
mipistration every taint of political corup>
ton. The interest Of every psnnsy lvanian
| is directly and vitally concerned in the eradi~
! cation of all unjust usages and practices by
/ which individual fortunes may be created at
public cost; aud the attempt to do this can
j be made certainly successful by the union Of
upright and fair minded men Of ali parties,
aud by sustaining candidates of nnqaestloned
| abilities and unspotted names.
Resolred. That this Convention appeals to
! the people Of Pennsylvania for the support
! of the candidate fer Governor whom It has
piaced in nomination, because his election
will secure at once a correction of existing
