RESOLUTIONS
of tho Reading Convci.tion.
Raohed, That the lime lias arrivod, when,
not only Ihopronpeiity of onr people, but tho
preoerviition of onr blossod Union, require
lhat Hie great Democratic party, in all its
measure, dull striclly ami faithfully adhere
lo the fundamental principles cstoblished by
its wise, patriotic end glorious founders ; and
among tho most impoitatit of these princi
ples, wo may enumerate a strict construction
of tho Constitution of the Uuhed Slates a
total abstinence on tho part of Congress, from
the exercise of nil doubtful pow ers a sacred
regard for tho riiihts reserved by the sover
eign Stales of which the confederacy is com
posed an absolute iiou-interfoieiieo by the
people of the several Slates, with tho domes
tic institutions peculiar to each and a rijjid j
economy in the expendilure of tho ta.vcs
raised from Iho people, confiuiiiil the appro- j
prialions of publics money by Congress, to
National objects, plainly uutlioiized by the
Constitution.
Re.wlval, That had these vital principles
of Democracy been faitb fully observed in
the administration of the National Govern
ment since the advent of tho Whigs lo p AV
er on tho 4lh March, IS If, we should not
now witness the spirit of discord uud aliena
tion which at present prevails between the
North uud the Smith, on the question of do
mestic slavery threatening as it does even
lually to dissolve llio Union. Nor should
we have to deplore the enormous appropria
tions of public money, approaching in a tiino
of peace lo llio war standard oi expenditure,
and endangering an entail upon our posteiity
of the fatal incubus of a permanent national
debt.
Resolved, Tlul tho Democratic party of
Pennsylvania are true to tho Union, the
Constitution and the laws, anil will faithfully
observe and execute, su far as in them lies,
all the measuicsof Compromise adopted by
the late Congress, for tho purpose of seltliuir
the question arising out of domestic slavery,
and this nut only from a sense of duty as
good citizens of tho republic, but also from
the kind uud fraternal feelings which they
cherish towards their brethien of the slave,
holding States.
Resolved, That the Sixth Section of the
Act of tho Legislature of Pennsylvania, pas
sed on llio the 3d of Maich, 18-19, dunyimr
under severe penalty, the use of our Slate
jails for the detention of fuuitive slave?
while awaiting their dial, onaht to be ex
punged fioin onr Statue books, both because
it inlei poses obstacles, by means of Slate
legislation, to ihe execution of iho provisions
of tho Constitution of the United Slates, and
because it is a virtual disregard of the piin
oiples of tho compromise, and is calculated
seriously to endanger the existence of the
Union.
Resulted, That in Col. WILLIAM 151G
LER, our candidate fur Governor, wo recog
nise a long tried, able and faithful Demo
crat, in whom (here is no guile, and a man
who by his own pre-eminent merit, has risen
to the erahtd position Inch he now holds
in the a!i'ecli;i!i and respect of his fellow Wi
zens. We hail him as ihe worthy represen
tative and chosen siiuulard-beaier of our
great and gluiious principles, and pledge
ourselves to do battle for Ihe cause of Demo
cracy under his banner, until we thai'
achieve a signal victory and redeem the
Keystone State from tho misrule, of i;s pies
cut Whig Governor.
Resolved, That we will cordially suppoit
the election of Si:tii Clover, as Canal Com
missioner, believing him lo be an able, hon
est ami incorruptible Democrat, and well
qualified to discharge the duties of that im
poitant and highly responsible ol'iee.
Rcsoh'id, Thr.t in tho matter of L'vjing
duties on foreign imports by the general
Government, we aie in favor of the recipro
cal interchange of our pioducls with the
other nations of Iho earth, in consonance
wi'h Ihti enlightened spirit of the uge, re.

ricultural Society of Pennsylvania has lived
Ilarrisburg as the place, and tho 23J, S-lth.
jmd 25th of October next, as iho time for
their Anni'al Ex hi mi ion. There is no
State in tha Union wh ise climate, soil, and
the habits of w hose people afford more am
ple resources than our own for a creditable
exhibition of their skill and industry.
There is nothing raised, grown, or manu
factured upon Ihe face of the earth, which
is not more or less iuteiesiing in the study
and science of Agriculture. The farmer
the hnitieullurist, the inventor, the mechan
ic, are all cordially and earnestly invited to
contribute and partake in the interest which
will be excited by the occasion ; and esnvc
ially do wo invite the aid, countenance and
presence of our molheis and daughteis, upon
whose handiwork and good example we are
so dependent for all the domestic comfort
for life.
Arrangements aro being made for enclos
ing the grounds, and pioviding separate uud
afo places for all animals and articles
which shall bo presented for exhibition.
All tho canals and railways of tho Slate
will be open fieo of chaigo for Iho transpor
tation to Hariisburg ; and visitors will
oome and go on them at one-half ihe usual
rales.
The young men of the Slate are reminded
that the Ploughing Match will uil'ord ihem
an opportunity (or the display of their skill,
the training of their teams and tho fitness of
I Loir implements.
While we address thin communication lo
the people of our State, it will not be under
loud that it is designed to exclude the cili-
Sens of other States ; much less to avoid the
honorable competition which their contribu
tions may ufiurd. Now is the time to pre

Slice from the 17th Century (ISth it should

him.
THE WAY TO DO IT.
The Commissioners under the act incor
porating the Susquehanna Rail Iload Com
pany, have opened the books for the sub
scription of stock. The shares are fixed at
50 each ; five dollars per share to be paid
down, and the balance when the Company
require it, provided thai the payments shall
not exceed S5 per share, nor be demanded
oftener than once a month. .These terms
are so easy that there are but few persons
in our community who can not allbrd to
take part of the stock. When the money
was being raised to make the Centra! Kail
Road, the carters and porters of Philadel
phia came forward and subscribed accord
ing to their means. Rail Road stock has
now become a fixed fact and is 33 surely
valuable as Bank or any oilier stock. They
are certain to pay trotn 8 to 15 per cent,
and money invested in Ihem is making
more and is safer than when placed at in
terest. Hitherto the whole railway capi
tal has been in the hands of the wealthy,
and they have been reaping the profits,
while their poorer neighbors who had but
50 or 100 each year to invest, loaned it
at simple interest. There is no reason why
this capital should not be as well in the
hands of our farmers, mechanics and labor
ers ; for surely they can as well pocket he

i ri c li uiviticnus. it is not necessary io lane
: 50 or 100 shares; let each man take ac
cording to his ability. If he thinks he can
pay for ten let him put down his name for
that amount ; or if he can take but one,
let hint not be ashamed to subscribe a small
amount, for Ihe cairn is heaped up by each
one Hinging a pebble It shows the good
will, the right spirit, that energy and en-
this tirv OF UOSIOM
Is an an awfully conscientious place.
They were unable to empanel a jury there
last week because the jurors had norne
doubt as lo the constitutionality of the law.
We do not exactly understand the code of
morality, if any they have, which permits
and encourages the breach of a well estab
lished law to prevent a doubtful one from
being executed. These Massachusetts men
probable have invented a new standard by
which to measure consciences. They ought
to be instructed that a law is constitutional
until it is decided by the Supreme Court
to be otherwise, and that jurors have noth
ing to do but apply it to the case in hand.
Such consciences! We blush for their
owners, and would rathrr be a slave to a
Georgia planter than serve a conscience
that is offended by the execution of a law.
We shall begin to believe that it was not
patriotism which began the revolution in
that state, but a spirit of resistance and
lawlessness which is tending to subvert
those institutions reared and cherished by
better men.
We had hoped to see those rioters and
law breakers, like Elizur Wright and his
kind, severely punished ; but the present
appearances indicate that though guilty
they will escape. No such miserable sub
terfuge as conscience should deter the judge
from swearing men as jurors, or induce
their discharge when they will not bring
jn a verdict. Better let us have open and
direct pel jury than this willul equivoca'
tion and evasion of the obligations ol an
oath. The former crime will subject the
perpetrator to fitting punishment ; while
the latter, though quite as heinous an outrage
of the laws of God, has no penally affixed
to it by human laws.

June has come, June bright with
roses, balmy with the breath of new mown
hay, beauliful with green waving grain,
sprirging corn, sunny days and soil sweet
nights, with the cool breezes of spiing
mingling with the sullry heat of summer,
the maiden bursting from the bud of youth
into the blooming beauty of womanhood.
We think this announcement necessary, as
many of our readers may justly have had
some doubt on the subject. Indeed as we
sit by a cheerful coal fire to night, we
terprise are not dead or asleep. There are ' are in tome doubt ourselves as to the sea-
very few among us who can not pay fifty
dollars in the course ot a year. In what
can we expend it with so much profit to
ourselves and benefit to the public as by
subscribing stock in the Susquehanna Hail
lload. That it will be profitable no sane
man can doubt. That will be of vast bene-
son, but a calm and close and dispassionate
consultation with the Almanac, settled the
matter. We say, without fear of contra
diction, this is the month of June.

come out and put down his name. This
is the way to do it. There are fifty men
win can take a share a piece where there
is one who can fake fifty; and all that is
necessary is for thei.i to come out. We do
not want the Looks carried to Baltimore
without having one half of the slock taken.
The men of the Susquehanna can do it-.
We want those citizens to see the books
well filled, and we would rather they
should see them filled with a number of
small than a few heavy subscriptions, for
that would show them that our farmers,
our mechanics and our laborers were inter
ested. It will inspire strangers with con
fidence when they see the array of the
names ol those who till the soil, who are
the working men, the real producers of the
wealth of the country. It will tell them
that the people are at woik, and induce
them to invest when otherwise they would
not. With what hope of success can we
ask strangers to do for us that to which we
ourselves refuse our aid and support .' What
a furry and humiliating spectacle would
we present in thus throwing ourselves upon
the benevolence, the charity of others!

hanna are anxious for its'improvement, let
them be foremost in the work. They can
do it ; they can do oil of it, but that is not
necessary. e nope conluleritly they
will do it. Let each take the amount of
stock he thinks he can afford. It every
man does this, it is all that it is necessary,
and he will never regret it. The only re
gret will be, when thU road is finished and
paying its semi-annual dividends of 7 or 8
per cent, that he did not take more. But
the rail road will never be made by talking
and looking on. Every man must put his
shoulder to the wheel ami heave with all
his might. This is the way to do it, Con

There i at present cofTsideiublo excite

wake up fiom their lelharyy on this subject,
by the efforts now malum; by a rival city

trade. Although ihe Pemi Ivania Kail Knad

day when they can tiavel from Sunbury to
ll.u risbiirj; in less lime than is now lost in
waiting at tho junction for the curs. Still
we have no cause to complain of the Packets.
They have proved a great convenience, and

15y telegraph of the 10th inst., we learn
the arrival of the America at Halifax.
The news is not of much importance. The
Rusel Ministry have survived the present
session, as their last measure curried suc
cessfully. The first clause of the Ecclesi
astical Title Bill passed by a vote of 244
to 52. The crops are very promising, and
emigration is as brisk es at the opening of
spring. There is nothing new in France.
The Legitimists are using all their power
to obtain a revision of the Constitution
The reformers, in Portugal are calling on
the Queen to abdicate. The Emperors of
Austria end Russia and the King of Prus'
sia, ate in conference at Warsaw. The
result has not transpired. The Countess
Jeleky and her friend Mad. Erdley, have
been arrested at Deltalgo, and a court
martial ordered for their trial. They are
accused of being the medium of corres
pondence between the Hungarian refugeei
in Ai a Minor and their paitirans at home

That beautiful setter dog, Texas, Ihe
general favorite of our town, and adniira'
tion of visitors, met his death by a riflt
bullet on Saturday last. He accompanied
a couple of gentlemen on a fishing exenr
sion, a few miles below this place, and find'
ing their recreation too dull for his active
taste, he set out on a hunting expedition of
his own. A short time afterwards ho re
turned, with a ball in his body, sank down
at their feet and died.

At a meeting of the Council on
Wednesday evening, it was resolved that

A tremendous thunder storm passed over
this place on Friday last, doing immense
damage to the canal, piiucipally in the
Buck level and from there to Buiubridge,
washing out an aqueduct and embank
ment. Also a break in ihe level between heie
and Ilarrisburg. The canal will nnt bo tiav
igabhi aeaiii fur some time, Some say
three weeks and others one month.

The Democratic Convention fer nomina
ting Judge assembled this morning, at 10
o'clock, and organised by the appointment
of Ihe Hon. James M. Porter, ot Northamp
ton, at chairman pro. tern.
After some other unimportant business the
Convention look up the question of the con
tested delegates from Philadelphia cour.ty,
and wilh very little delay, admitted the
regular delegates.
The contested seals of Lancaster were
then taken up and without coming to a de
cision Ihe convention adjourned until 3
o'clock.
Ilarrisburg though improving some, is nev
erlheless dull when ihe legislature is not in '
session, l.iko many other towns in this
state, its men of capital have little or no en
lerpiise. The cotton factory has jiit been
put in operation and promises well. Asa
tiiauul'actiiiing town it has not yet made
much pi ogress. Among tho most enterpii
sing and ingenious citizens of the place, is
W. O. Ilickok, who has built up an es'ablish.
merit by his own energy, lalenl and industry
that mioht serve as an example for others
wilh more abundant ineai.s lo imitate. Mr.
Ilickok gives employment lo quite a number
of men, and is ihe manufacturer of superior
rulino machines, for ruling piper and blank
woik, which have nearly superseded all oth.
era in use. It is to such men after till thai
the country owes most of its prosperity. Lan
caster at which place I stopped the greater
part of a day, is a place of cousideiat'le busi
ness, surrounded by one of the most exten
sive and llourishiuo ayi iculluiul disliicts in
the world, il could not well bu otherwise.
Besides ils numerous lino stores, will always
make it the centre of ult i action.
Among theso wo were much pleased with
tho store of iho Messts. Banmgarduer, who
aro among tha most enterprising and suc
cessful merchants of tho place, uud who oc
cupy the entire four stories of their building.
They have three coliou factories ut this
place, which have until last year made hand
some dividends, but owing to the high price
of cotton, ranging from 9 lo 13 cents, iho
Company, the past yeai sunk about 850,000.
Cotton it down again to about U cents, at
which prices the manufacturers can do well.
