THE BEDFORD GAZETTE, j Bedford: April 1, 1859. ( B. F. &G. W. Benford, Editor* : D E \IOCR A TIC NO MIN A TIO NS. STATE TICKET. FOR AUDITOR GENERAL: RICHARDSON L. WRIGHT, OF PHILADEI-nitA. FOR SURVEYOR GENERAL: JOHN ROWE, OF FRANKLIN. w — . - ■ - ' " ' | THE STATE CONVENTION AND GOVERNOR PACKER. The refusal of the late Democratic State j Convention, to endorse the State policy of, Governor Packer, was an act of severe, but ; condign punishment. The Convention could j not consistently have done otherwise. All its j avowals of Democratic principles and all its recommendations of Democratic _ nominees, would have fallen to the ground, had it recogni zed the Governor 3s a Democrat in good stan ding. It would have been rank hypocrisy in true Democrats to say that they approved of a policy which has done more injury to the party in this State, than all the labors of all the Opposition parties since the days of Jefferson. We make no allusion here to the "fleet which Mr. Packer's interference in the settlement of the Kansas question, has had upon the welfare of the Pennsylvania Democracy; though lie stultifi ed himself most egregiously on that subject, by declaring. when challenged by Wilmot, that the State Executive could have nothing to do with it,aDd afterwards facing about and discus sing it as eagerly as Mr. Wilmot himself could have done. Nor do we refer especially to the damaging consequences which have resulted to the party from his neglect (we use the mildest word possible) of the interests of the Common wealth, in the transfer of the Delaware Divis ion of the Slate Canals. But we do make particular and emphatic reference to his conduct during the last campaign, when by the hands of his treacherous officials, he compassed the defeat of the party which had taken him up in its arms and lifted him from obscurity to digni ty and power. We do not, at this late day, object to his Anti Lecompton-ism—we are willing to bury lh hatchet on that score, and so wa3 the State Convention —but we cannot hu<* a traitor, or kiss the hand of his meniai.— We cannot, nor can any Democrat, approve of a State policy which places in office such rank abolitionists as JOHN C. KNOX and such unprincipled spoils-seekers as GEO. M. LAC MAN. We cannot approve ola policy which removes from office, good, honest Pennsylvania ; Democrats, to make room for Black Republi cans from New Jersey. We are, therefore, glad that the State Convention refused to en dorse the ol Governor Packer.— That refusal wflS a „i „i iSu n-monatic cause, and ai* ili" 1 we are proud to lecord it. i ItJ.V WILLIAMS AND HIS DEFENDER, FR. JORDAN. The vote of Ma. GEO. W. WILLIAMS, against the bill to prevent the intermarriage of whites and blacks, meets with the just indigna tion of his insulted constituents. We have heard many of the best citizens of this county, both Democrats and Opposition men, denounce Mr. Williams'course in regard to this matter at the same time declaring that they could oever again support him for office. Neverthe less, there are those who justify Mr. Williams' conduct and try to shield him horn the merit ed rebuke which the people whose principles and feelings he has misrepresented and outraged, will surely give him. To this class belongs a certain Fn. JORDAN, who in his organ of last week, spreads himself in an article of 3 column in length, in defence of his fellow amal gamation Ist. This was to be e*peeled. Mr. Williams is Mr. Jordan's man, and, of course, Francis must defend him. Mr. Jordan might well exclaim, "my Williams, right ; but 1 ight, or wrong, my Williams!" But even he is compelled to acknowledge that his pet legislator made a mistake. He savs: "If there, as a member, we think it* likely we would have voted for the bill," thus flatly asserting his difference with Mr. Williams. j The only point which Mr. Jordan attempts to make, is this : why did not Democratic Legisla tures pass the bill ? VV'e can tell Mr. Jordan why. When the Democrats had the majority in our State Legislature, no such bill was ever introduced, for the reason that in those times there was no Black Republican par'.v and the seeds ol negro equality and white and black amalgamation, had not been sown. It is onlv since the advent of Black Republican negro- i i9in, that there has been any necessity for aj law to prohibit the intermarriage ol whites and , blacks. But instances ol such intermarriage, j are becoming more and more frequent every i day, and when a Pennsylvania House of Representatives refuses to check it , the white people of the Commonwealth, have certainly just cause of alarm. THE DUTCH HAVE TAKEN HOLLAND! Mr. Jordan boasts of tlie fact that his party have carried Broad Top township, and from the result in that district, predicts that the Black Republicans will carry the county next Fall. Broad Top has never been any tiling else than what it is now. An.Opposition victory there, tike the ''Dutch takrng Holland/' As to the County going Black Republican, that prediction has been made regularly for the last three yrmer!y editor of this paper and at pres ent Superintendent of Public Printing, has purchased the Washington Union. If this be true, it will be welcome nev.s to manv of the readers of the central organ of the National Democracy. FREE LITERARY LECTURE AND READING ROOM. —The Iron City College, of Pittsburg, Pa., employs the most distingui-hed speakers lor its course of Lectures, held in College Hall every Friday evening, and several hun dred papers and magazines are taken each week for the public Reading Room.

Heyden, of this place, lately delivered a lecture in Bellefunte, Centre county of which the Watchman , published at that place, ; has the following : 1 LECTURE.—The lecture of the Fev. Th. Hev j den, D. D., took place on the 17th inst., in the i Court House, as previously announced. A | large audience was in attendance. The spea j ker was introduced by the Hon. James Burn | side. His remarks were confined to St. Pat i rick and the conversion of Ireland from ism. The venerable father was liberal in° his opinions, and extremely cautious in his remarks. He designed nothing should be construed in the light of giving offence. His lecture was eloquent, logical, and instructive, and evinced a sincere desire to propagate the principles of his divine Master. DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM. The following are the resolutions adopted by the late Democratic State Convention. They are eminently sound and proper. They were unanimously approved by the Convention : Resolved, That the Democracy of Pennsyl vania have unabated and lull confidence in the patriotism, integrity and capacity of James Buchanan, the President of the United States, and desire to sustain (lis administration from a conviction of the intimate connection of its principles with the best interests of our com mon country. Resolved , That the complete success achiev ed by James Buchanan in amicably settling with Great Britain, in accordance with the A meucan doctrine, the long mooted question of "the freedom of the seas/'from the surveillance and annoyance of a maritime police; in quieting the civil broils of Kansa.-: in promptly and ef fectually suppressing an armed disatlection and rebellion in Utah; in speedily terminating the Indian wars wtiich threatened to desolate our Western frontier; and his resolute efforts to se cure for American trade and travel safe and proper transit routes between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans; to maintain the influence and honor of the nation and to protect the lives, business and property cf citizens of the United States in the anarchical or ill-governed States of .Mexico, Central America and South Ameri ca, entitle him to the esteem, gratitude and confidence of the people ol Pennsylvania, as well as of the whole Union. Re sol veil, That the Democracy of Pennsyl | vania have always advocated and still advocate an adequate encouragement and discriminating protection of iron and coal and of the industrial interests ol this State, within the scope of a tariff for necessary revenue; and believing that the revenue accruing from the existing tariff will be insufficient for the unavoidable expen ditures ol the Federal Government, and that an obstinate adherence to it will result m the ac cumulation, in time of peace, of a heavy na tional debt, always dangerous to the peace, liberty and prosperity of a fiee people; they now, by their representatives in this Conven tion, earnestly invite the people of this State, by-a frank and cordiaf suppport of the policy >1 the first President whom Pennsylvania tias given to the Union, to aid and strengthen him in his future endeavors to procure a revision of the tai iti act of 1857, by the next Congress, on the principles S't forth in his list annual message. Resolved, That while an economical admin istration of the government of the Union is de manded by the whole spirit of onr institutions, and the best judgment ol the people; it is, at the same time, incumbent upon us to sustain the proper dignity of the country at home and abroad, and not to neglect the prompt supply of all necessary means ot defence against for eign aggression, and for the assertion and pro tection of the rights of all American citizens everywhere, and especially on this continent. Resolved , That the acquisition of the Island of Cuba by honorable and peaceable m**ans, would be of V3st importance to the prosperity and security of our whole country; and also advance in an eminent degree the cause of hu manity, bv its tendency to check the progress of the slave trade; and that the proposition of the President to obtain the possession of that Island by a fair purchase from the government of Spain, was a manly and upright step towards the attainment of so desirable an object; an ob ject which has received the sanction and ap proval of Jefferson, Madison, J. Q. Adams and Clay as well as of eminent living statesmen. Resolved, That across the Central American Isthmus lies the great highway to our Pacific States, and that we have witnessed, with pleas ure and pride, the earnest efforts of the Presi dent to keep them open and make ih'-m safe; in which view he should be seconded ffiy Con gress with the necessary powers to enable him to insist upon the fulfilment, by the Stales pos sessing those territories, of the treaty guaran ties which they have given to our citizens. Resolved, That this Convention highly ap prove the course of the Hon. William Bigler, Senator in Congress from this State, and desire to record their s-mseof the ability, consistency, patriotism and sound national Democracy which have distinguished his public acts as one ol the representatives of Pennsylvania. Resolved, That the doctrine ol popular sov ereignty, which recognizes the right of the peo ple of the Territories having a sufficient popu lation to organize th—ir State governments un der a constitution with or without slavery as ihev may severally determine, subject only to the constitution of the United States, and with out any control of any department of the Fed eral government ovei that subject, meets with our renewed and continued approbation and support. Resolved, That the prosperity of our State, can be better and mote securely promoted by encouraging the competition ol individual capi tal, skill and industry than by any grant of cor porate privileges and powers to gigantic mo nopolies. Resolved, That we are in favor of an hor.esi and economical administration of the afftirs o this Commonwealth, and until the people ar relieved from the burden of the enormous debl now hanging over them, we are opposed to any unnecessary expenditure of the public money or anv reduction ol the present sources of reve nue. Resolved, That in view of the difficulties at tendant upon the regulation of a banking sys tem, and of the losses incidental to a deposit o the public moneys in such institutions, the early adoption of an independent Treasury for th< safe keeping of the moneys of the Common wealth, on the principle of the sub-treasury o she United States, is recommended to the Legis firif CANDIDATES. In order that our readers may know wha the Democratic nominations for State offices art thought of in other parts of the State, we ap pend a few extracts on that subject from so:nt of our exchanges. From every portion of tht State, we have evidences ot the most hearty sii|)|V3rt of the Ticket. The election of Wright and Rowe is considered a fixed fact, by those who are posted or. our State politics : [From the F.aston Sentinel.] For Auditor General they have given us Richardson L. Wright, ol Philadelphia. An honest, competent and worthy man, and a Democrat who never flinches or swerves. He he has filled many offices of trust, the duties of which he has always faithfully and honorably discharged. He was a member of the House of Representatives for several years, and was once Speaker of that body. He is at the pres ent time a member of the State Senate, his term expiring with thp adjournment of the present Legislature. John Rowe, of Franklin County, the present ible and efficient Surveyor General, was re nominated, by acclamation. His re-nomina lon by the Convention, by acclamation, is the Wrongest encomium that can be bestowed upon lim. The nominations are worthy tne support of every Democrat in the State. [From the Juniata Register.] The candidates nominated by the Democrat ic Convention, are men of the most unexcep tionable character and standing. Richardson L. Wright, A'ho was nominated lor Auditor Gen eral, upon the first ballot, is well known to the Democracy ol Pennsylvania. He has rep resented the city of Philadelphia in the House of Representatives, during several sessions, and is now a member ol the Senate. As a legisla tor hp has earned a high reputation by strict at tention to business, vigilance in the discharge i ol his duties, and unbending integrity. He i belongs to the radical Democratic school; and! has upon all occasions raised his voice against | granting excessive corporate privileges, with-{ out being awed by the sneers and threats of those who pursue a contrary policy- He would make an excellent Auditoi General and prove a worthy successor of Jacob Fry, Jr.' John Rowe is our candidate for Surveyor General. He now fills that office, and so much to the satisfaction of the Democracy; that they have determined to continue him for another term. He was nominated by acclamation, and will stand in this contest with the Democratic party; upon the Democratic platform, main taining the Democratic organization. [From tbe Uniontown Genius of Liberty.] Richardson L. Wright, the candidate for Auditor General, is a gentleman of much ex perience in public life, and of unblemished per sonal reputation. few years ago he seived as Speaker of the House of Representatives of our State Legislature with great credit to him self and advantage to the Commonwealth, and at the present time h- is an able, industrious and influential member ofth# State Senate. John Rowe, the candidate for Surveyor pea eral, is the present incumbent of that office, and has proved himself ari honest, faithful and competent public officer. He was elected in 1856, and passed through the severe ordeal of that memorable year without as much as a slain upon his escutcheon. He is highly e steemed by men of all parties, for the purity of his private life and the urbanity and dignity of his personal deportment. DEMOCRATIC THUNDER ! THE CON VEN HON SUSTAIN El) Bk r j THE DEMOCRATIC PRESS : [F'om ihe I'eiiiisylvanutn of Ihe lSlbinst.] A resolution was presented, endorsing the State policy of Governor Packer, which gave rise to considerable discussion. The few who advocated it, disclaimed any approval of the Governor's conduct in reviving the Lecompton quest ion in nis last message, and in other re spects lending himself to the purpose ot party disorganization. The course of his Attorney General, Knox, was expressly repudiated by the delegate who offered the resolution. The majority, however, could see neither policy nor propriety in giving any such expression ot opinion as proposed by the resolution. The Governor must be looked upon as having volun tarily arrayed himself, like McKean and 1 Shnltze, against the [arty which elected him. He retained in office men who were making open i war upon the Democratic party and itsorganiza • tion. He had but recently turned out of office : a sound and true Democrat, to make room for a man not a citizen of the State, who but last j fall, was openly in the field in support of Black ! Republican candidates, and who publishes a ! paper which makes weekly assaults upon the President and the National Democracy of the country. And moreover, he has given his sanction to acts clearly prejudicial to the in terests of the Commonwealth and her citizens. Although there appears to have been thirty seven of Ihe Convention who were willing, as a matter of supposed policy, to vote for the resolution of endorsement, it is w ell understood that scarcelv a man of them has any confidence whatever in the Governor, either as an officer or a Democrat. They, with all other party men, look upon him as having placed himself, with Knox, Hickman, Forney fx. Co., outside of the Democratic organization, and as ready to approve any kind ot legislation that he may believe calculated to advance the interests ot the speculating crowd with whom he is known I to be associated. [From the Phils- Argus of the 19th inst.] The humiliating position which Governor ' Packer now occupies will be painful to every j | Democrat throughout the Union. Elected by i an overwhelming majority to preside over the soundest Democratic State in the Confederacy, in eighteen months we find him utterly repu diated by the men who elevated him, and his political reputation forever covered with igno miny and shame. As a man he may not have deserved that hard fate, but as the representa tive of a paity he richly earned it. Me sur rounded himself with advisers utterly lost to political honor, and when called upon to dis card them he closed his ears to the appeals.— The people bore with him until jorbearance ceased to be a virtue, and their verdict lias gone foith, "Ephraim is joined to his idols • let him alone." [From the Harrisborg Patriot & Union.] The Pennsylvania Democracy is like MIL- J TON'S young man waking fiom sleep and sha ! king his invincible locks. All corruption and impediments have been sloughed off—all the peftpre 1 " in" nfr* proud attitude ot defender ol popular rights and the union ol the States. PACKER and his sat i ellites are harmless before the unbroken col- I umn which we now present : for hundreds oI ! tbe honest yeomen wiil gather to our standard, where one double-dealing knave deserts.— Heretofore we have been stricken down by se cret foes ; herealter we have them in fiont.— In the past, we were forced to bear the load of indignity which recreant Democrats heaped upon our shoulders ; in the future, we shall present a bold and honest front to the enemy ot American nationality. Therefore are we stron ger far, than we have been for years. Indeed no party ever stood so proudly as tne righter jof the wrong, and indicter of the guilty. This I undaunted and loyal popular position attracts j the sympathies of the masses— it confounds truckling politicians, and terminates the miser able claji-trap about popular sovereignty and i Kansas. From the day of the last Convention we date the regeneration of the Democratic part)', and an era of new triumphs for the friends of the the United States. [From the York Gazette, March 22.1.J This Convention will teach a wholesome les- 1 son, in all time to come, to those in place and power. Mad Governor Packer properly re buked the unpardonable treason of his Attorney | General, when he preached disorganization to the Democrats of Chester, he would not now he left naked to his enemies. "There was the weight '.hat pulled him down." It was "a blunder, worse than a crime," not to set openly and fearlessly his mark of disapprobation upon the unwarrantable course of the man he had taken into his counsels. No one is too high to escape the evil which results from a contact with had advisers. The stream will not remain pure, if the waters flowing into it are poisoned. The Convention over, it now becomes the duty of every true Democrat to rally round his part v standard. A desperate attempt will be made to defeat us at the next election. The recruit er will be sent forth by the Opposition to steal from our ranks the weak and wavering. A victory in October next, they proclaim, will be a victory in 1860. THEY MUST BE FOILED! ! We had Waterloo last year—let us show them Buena V ista, when we meet them in battle. [From the Hollidaysburg Standard, March 23.] After endorsing the administration and pas sing the resolutions —found elsewhere in our columns—a resolution was offered by Mr. Lam. berton supporting the State policy of Gov. Packer. In support of this, Mr. L., did not ask that the Governor's appointments should be sustained, or that the course of the Govern or s organ should be endorsed *, but merely ask ed a resolution approving his State policy." Al though this was asking jvery little, it w'as for cing just such an issue as the friends of the Gov- Governor should have avoided. It would have been better to have invoked the silence of the Convention 3s to his acts, for to have passed the resolution referred to, would have been sustain ing John C. Knox in his crusade against the Democratic party during the last campaign, when he was using every effort to disorganTze the party which had placed him in power \ it would have been sustaining the removal of Mr. Barrett, a good Democrat, and the appoint ment of a person who was not a citizen of the State, and who was last fall aiding the Black Republicans, to the post of Superintendent of Public Printing : it would have been endorsing the course of Gov. Packer as to national sub jects, which, before his election, he disclaimed having anything to do with, and which he re fused to discuss with Mr. VVilmot because they were in no way connected wiih the Governor ship, hut with which he occupied nearly half of his message, after his election. These things the Convention properly refused to support The issue was forced by the Governor's ft tends. They asked an expression of opinion by the Con vention as to his St3te and they got it. If they don't like it, they have none to blama but themselves. At the same time it was expressly declared that the issue of Recompton had nothing to do with it—that was dead and laid so low that none would exhume it—that was merely look ed upon as a measure, not a principle, upon which Demociats honestly differed and which had been passed upon and decided. [From the Western Press, Mercer county.] An attempt was made to have the conven tion endorse Gov. Packer's administration, but after an animated discussion, in which the dis organizing course of Gov. Packer and his ap pointees was exhibited naked, the resolution was killed by the decisive vote of 84- to 37. We approve this action of the convention most heartily, and rpgret that the voice of the party in the State could not have been expressed sooner. Some have urged conciliation on this point, and conciliation is proper enough policy in its place, but tfiis was no place for it. A9 in 1554 and '55. so now, the health, the life even of the party demanded the prompt exhibition ot the strongest medicines. We believe the treatment will have the desired effect. [From the Cbambersburg Valley Spirit.] The resolutions adopted by the Convention meet a hearty concurrence. They will be re sponded to by the entire Democracy of the State and bv many patriotic citizens who have not been in the habit of acting with the Democrat ic party, and we doubt not that they will form the groundwork of the resolutions of the Charleston Convention. It is upon the con servative ground always occupied bv the De ! mocracv of Pennsylvania, that the Democracy of the Union can always gather with safv- I ,y ' [From the Juniata Register.] e were present during the entire delibera | tionsofthe Convention, and can safely say that Gov. Packer's administration had but very few friends in that Convention, and that the Gov j ernor has lost the confidence and friendship of I the Democratic party. The causes which pro- I duced this result when attributed to his Ll \ compton views , is an unmitigated falsehood.— Read the proceedings of the Convention and vou cannot find one word which would war rant such a conclusion. Consult the majority of hi? appointments, s mie of his official acts, the I I company that he is found in, the character of I the men who delight to do him honor, and you have the cause. , [From the Star 01 the North, Columbia County.] 1 There was scarcely a district which did net at once declare for the part]' and the National Administration, and the proceedings of tfie Con ■ vention demonstrate with what singular una " nimity Democratic sentiment was expressed 1 I from all sections of the State. There was no ' attempt on the part of the National Democracy I • '. 1 " -reK IXI ' ostracise men who had differed with their po -1 j iitical brothers within th e Una of party fealty ■ | and party action. They did not withhold the ' ; hand of fellowship from such as had contended ' ; with honest zeal before nominations, but fought - the common enemy after. The party did not |do this in the State Convention. But they did what was right and proper, what the Democra \cy demanded should be done. They ret.udia- Fj ted those men who acted with the common enemy, who spoke at Black Republican meet j mg, and who used official position for corrupt j and srlifish purposes. The Democratic/ Con j vention did these things, arid in so doing repre i seated most faithfully tne wish and demand of ( the party in Democratic Pennsylvania. [From the Easton Argus.] The Convention could take no other course than the one it did take; although its action may not suit a lew croakers and disorganizes, who are determined to be displeased with everything, it will meet the approbation of the great mass ot the party. The Democratic par ty should always dare to DO RIGHT. Although defeat may stare it in the lace, it can weil af i ford trrbe defeated, if victory can be purchased only by the sacrifice of principle or the con ciliation of those who have proven traitors in the camp, or what is worse, unfaithful and dis honest public servants. The delegation from this District voted NO on the resolution to approve "the State policy of Governor Packer.'' They did right. Jn doing so, they represented the opinion of th® entire party in this region of the State. It is an undeniable fact, that Governor Packer no longer enjoys the confidence of the Democrats of the 10th Legion, who supported him so warmly in 1807. It is not his course on the Kansas question either, that has brought about this change, although there was nothing in that to commend, but his open and shameless infidelity to his public pledges on matters of greater interest to the tax-payers of Pennsyl vania than a thousand miserable Kansas fights. [From the Washington Examiner.] To the exclusion ot a variety of other matter, we this week give the entire proceedings of the Democratic S'ate Convention which assem bled at Harrisburg, on the 16th inst. We ask every Democrat to read these proceedings care fully, and then preserve them for future refer ence. In 18f)8, when our State Convention fully endorsed the administration of Mr. Bu chanan, it was alleged that that Convention did not fairly represent the Democracy of this State. Now, in 1839, a full Convention does the same things with greater emphasis, if possi ble; thus proving that an overwhelming majori ty of the Democrats of Pennsylvania are on the side of the National Administration on all ques tions of public policy. Is it not high time that mere fragments of the Democratic pirtv, in a few counties of the State, should yi-dd their op position, and join heart and hand with the great mass of their brethren in sustaining James Buchanan and the Cincinnati platform > Fur ther resistance must surely be regarded as in subordination to the discipline and organisation of the party. The condemnation of Givernor Packer may serve as a pointed and significant rebuke to all Democrats who are mclm/J to give "'aid and cdmfbrt to the enemy. n
