TflE RESOLUTIONS.
The committee on resolutions prcsen
ted tho following report :
We, tho delegates of tho Dcmoeratio
party of Pennsylvania in general Stato
Convention assembled, for tho uomina
tion of a cauJidalo for Jndgo of tho
Supremo Court, profoundly grateful to
the Supremo Ruler oi the I'liivei'so for
the return of peace to our beloved coun
try, but deeply anxious on account of
the trials and delays which impede tl
complete restoration and reunion of all
the States, and appreciating tho dan
ger.) which still threaten tho tsalety of
our political ir.ftitu'.ions, and tho future
pcaeo, liberty and prosperity of tho pco-
pie, isfolve,
1. That we steadfastly adhere to tho
principles of civil government estab
lished by the founder. of the Union
nnd in tho present coulliet of legisla
tive usurpation with constitutional law,
wo esteem a wise, upright and fearless
judieary tho great bulwark of public
liberty and individual right.
2. That the Union of the Slates
perpetual, anl the Federal Government
supreme within us constitutional limits
3. That Representation iu the Con-
gvcsi of the United States, and in th
electorial college, is a right fundamental
and mdestruetiole iu its natuieaud
biding in every State, being a duty as
well as a right pertaining to the people
of every Stato aud csoutial to our Re
publican system of Government. Its
denial is the destruction of tho Govern
ment itself.
4, Each State having under the Cou-
ftitution the exclusive right to prescribe
the qualifications of its own electors, we
proclaim as a usurpation and an outrage
the establishment of uegro suffrago iu
any of the States by the coercive cxer
cise of Federal power : and we shall re.
sist to the lat ieort the threatened
measures of the leaders of tho Republi
can party tc interfere by acts of Con
gress witn the regulation of the elective
Iranchiso in thebtato of Pennsylvania
5. That we are opposed to any amend'
ment of the Constitution of tho State
giving to negroes the right of suffrage.
6. That tho failure" of tho Tariff
Bill in the last session of tho late Con
gross, more than thrcc.fourths of whose
m mbcra klongel to tho Repub
lican party, is uu illustration of their
iuQdelity to their pledges aud their ueg
leot of their professions in relation to
too great luuuatrial uua financial later-
eits of tho country.
7. That tho Radical majority iu Con
gress, uud tlioso who sustain them have
overthrown the Constitution, dismem.
bered the Federal Uuion and subverted
republican government by a long series
of u.-.urpatious, amng which ale the
following :
1 heir denial of tho right of States of
the Luiun to representation iu Congress.
Their treatment of ten States as sub
jugated provinces, aud governing them
by military force in timo of pcaeo.
Their enactment of laws denying in.
demuity for arrests and falso imprison
ments ruado without authority of law.
Their reistanco of tho authority of
tho civil tribunals, and their overthrow
by the (substitution of military oommis
tions for the trial of undefined oll'ouscs.
Their efforts tj d e;!roy tho bxecu.

dates.
Their ejection from their scats in the

v. ..... '
amy ana legally chosen
That the purpose of confiscation avow
ed by tho Republican leaders, in viola
tion of tho Declaration of Rights and
other guarantees of tho Federal and
Stato Constitutions, tending as i docs,
to destroy all protection to privato pro
perty, advances them fur on thohigh
road to repudiation.
8" That a strict conformity, both by
tue l'eaerai ana ot.ite uovernments, to
an t ne powers, restrictions and guaran
lees, as contniued in tho Constitution of
tho United States, a rigid and wise eoon
omy in the administration of publio af
fairs, aud the election of capable, honest
and patriotic men to oliice, are measures
absolutely necessary to restore publio
confidence, avert national bankruptcy,
and to ensure tho perpetuity of our free
lnsmuuous.
9. That the lato Republican Legisla
turo of this Stato has distinguished
itself for tho number of its unwise and
unconstitutional onnotmonts.
Sonio of those laws have already boon
judically determined to bo unconstitu
tional, others are unwine, inexpedient,
oppressivo and tauatioul, and tho mom.
bcrs who sustuinod them should bo con.
domuod by tho pooplo it tho polls.
10. J'hut the power and suoooss of
tho Dcmoeratio party greatly depends
on i no ennrncter una eliicionoy or its
newspaper press, and that to givo duo
lorco to its usefulltiess, this Convention
earnestly request that in cvory county
that tho members of tho Democrat io
party should muk o a vigorous effort to
increase irs circulation ny giving it in
dividual patronage and support.
11. Thut tho Democracy of Pennsyl
vania, by their representation now as
sembled, hereby tender their acknowl
edgments aud thank to tho Hon. Gcorgo
W. Woodward iu his retirement from
tho position of Chief Justice of this
Commonwealth, for tho puro, faithful
and able iminncr in which ho diucharg.
ed the duties or thus exalted position.
1'J. That the cuudidatu we itils
day present to the pcoplo of Pennsyl
vania for a place on tho Supremo Bench
of the State, is in all respects worthy of
the confidence and support of all who
arc iu favor of an enlightened, faithful
and impartial administration of the
lawn.
The report of tho committee was
adopted unanimously.
A. resolution was passed providing for
tno appointment of a committee of thu
teen (vtitli the President of the Conven.
tion as Chairman) to inform Judge
Sharwood of his nomination.
A resolution was also passed, unani
mously, thanking the President of the
Convention (Charles E. Boylo, Esq,,)
for the faithful manner in which he pre
sided over the deliberations of tho Con
vention.
Tho Convention thon adjourned with.
out day.
The record of the number and kind
of frauds perpetrated at the Washing.
ton City election by tho Radicals ifl al
most beyond belief, even in these days
of widespread political demoralization.
The schemes, too, by which conserva
tive voters were excluded, were many
and infamous. As early as two o'elock
on the morning of the election the ne
groes were inarching about the streets
blowing tin horns aud making tho most
hideous diu. Three hours before the
polls opened each precinct had a line
numbering hundreds of darkies stretch
ing squares away from the windows. As
fast as one would vote, after tho windows
were opened, he would tako his place
again at the tail iu order to givo tho place
to some darkey vet to come. Three
hours after the polls oncued. but one
white veto was polled in three of tho
warJs. But it is impossible to chroniclo
a tune ot tue rasoalitcs perpetrated at
this first experiment in brute suffrage

The Treasure! of the Deep.
BT VIOLET.
If the ocean could speak, it would
tell wonderful tales of tho treasures
which lie hidden beneath its waves,
whose murmurs seem to sing a dirgo for
the victims buried in its depths. Tcs,
the ocean has us treasures, and never
shall we know their worth. We know
that tho boundless deep has concealed
in its gloom strange wonders and flush
log gems from whose unearthly glow
sunlight is forever sealed.
The coral treo flings its eraocful
branches over the golden sand, and the
seaweed grows iu its depths. The ocean
tries in vain to keep each secret of its
hidden caves j somo of them are already
known to man, and others are daily diS'
covered. Nothing can bo more beauti
ful than a view of tho bottom of tho
ooean duriug a calm, especially when it
consists of beds of sand and masses of
rooks.
Tho sea is ofton so calm, that at great
depths the smallest objocts are visible ;
groyos of coral are seen expanding their
variously oolorod branches : shells of
every size nnd color glide along the
stones, or oliug to tho coral boughs
. . .
craos ana omcr marine animals pursuo
thoir nrev in the fissurna nP tlin mnlio
ana soaplants sproad their foavos with
groat irregularity, whilo tho most beau
tiful fishes are sporting around on every
siuo.
Even when tho wrathful spirit of
storm has agitated tho waves of the
ooean, and the ship is wrecked on the
shore, "still, far below in tho peaceful
sea the purple mullet and goldfinch
rove, in waters which murmur with
peaceful tranquility." Among the va.
rious things found in the ocean aro
many which aro useful fo man, but they
are obtained wit h great labor, attended
frequently with loss of life. Ask tho
wan and weary pearl diver what he has
seen in tho caves of tho mighty deep !
pure ie:rland phining coral.
But treasures more precious than
these do tho ocean caves conceal. The
deep is white with the mouldering bones
ot ages, faora the ice clad polo to the
tropics, and tho mermaid has twisted
her cold fingers in the golden curls of
the fair maiden aud gentle boy. There
millions sleep, unmindful of affection's
voice, whicu says Return ! Return I
(Ju sea. keep thy sliming treasures.
T- .1 l ......

Ho did so, and a little whilo his soul was

From evil thoughts, tcmntnf

But soon by guilty pleasure's shaft again

Once more he fell, but by his frionds was he

And there was one through all his iruill.

Who Btrovo with more than human lovo

Tho outcast trembled as she foil the chilling

Sho reached a lofty edifice, made tho hard

And as she sweetly sunk to rest, "Forgive
