Ihereka class 'Of men in the world motigeberally underrated and unjustly con demned by the !Superficial writers of the country; particularly the partizans opposed to the Democratic orgnmiation, than the Germans 9f 'Pennsylvania. Whenever nn election in this State happens to result fa vorably to our party, It IS followed up by a furkotus onslaught upon them, and the coun try retold that the "stupuLlhitcli" have done it all—that they acre too ignorant to understand the issues involved—that they continue to vote year afteryear for genoral Jackson, without reference to any question of the day—that they ate opposition totem in intelligence, ect., Oct. true character of the people thus any - defence is totally unnecessary. The truth is, that hone stand in iless need of. a defence. The native virtues of their char acters shine out among all it ho know them, as proud monuments of their north, upon which the atones cast by superficial pig mies make no impression. America has no more useful citizens than those of Itennan origin, and the record of their deeds, whetli er wo ldek at their action morally, socially, industrially ,or volitica Ily,abundan tly proves this assertion. For the advancement of the interests of the cOuntry, one honest German farmer is wolf a dozen of the .Yankee fa natics who affect to despise him. The character of the Germans of Penns3l vania, as a body, forms a combination of am noblest virtues. They are honest—they are Industrious—they are patnotic ; they possess that useful, practical intelligence which is of the greatest import* without which all the learning in the world la ta-ball, valtio--plaiu commoasionse— in as eminent a degree as any people in the world. The honesty of the German character is prevartstalt - The Mk ilrthil'liirfkomri as good as his bond," and the exceptions to it are cciffifSEratively rare. Great frauds or Littls. fraud: zrz =Ty c.c.:dr= our American citizens of German origin.— They have among thedi an innate sense of right, which repels the very idea of dishon esty. Economical in their expenditures, their revenues are almost invariably more than sufficient to meet their wants, and they are almost entirely free from the temptation to fraud and rascality created by extrava gance. If the saying of Pope be true, that honest man is the noblest work of God," what people can so generally claim that proud title to nobility as the Germans of Pennsylvania t - They are as industrious as they are ',hon est. It forms a part of the* very nature.— They rely nOt upon tncks and artifice to gain their suboustence, but rather upon le gitimate contributions to the indu`stnal re sources of the country. No men more gen- I rally obey the scriptural injunction to earn their bread by the sweat of their brown.-- Although they are probably more apt to confine their attentions to agricultural pur suits thanopeople of a different origin, who will deride their choice, 'or, iii view of the eminent success which attends, their opera time in the great field of labor, doubt the wiallom of their selection! 9f all occupa tions-none is mere manly, independent anti honorable than that of the fanner. •The best and greatest linen of the world, who have passed through the moat varied scenes of life, and for a time embraced widely di em:trifled pursuits, have in oumberiestign stances finally fixed upon agriculture as the most favored of them alla The great men of all countries, and particularly of our own, base Spent the hiPpiest hours of their lives do isgifetelture. It is needless to particular ize here—many instances will rise to the ;and of every reader. No people are more successful in this great art than the gfr artainil of Pennsylvania. Thera is compels- Illttle parade shout their labors, and they may be somewhat slow in this as in some other matters, about countenancing new innovations upon old established cus toms and usages. But where'dan the eye Apon aeinore beautiful landscape,— ' when can we behold a more brilliant pano rama of plenty and proaperity,—hehere can we witness, a more magnificent prospect, thaninnong the th 914 1.

The rich valleys and broad Osiris are made to yield yearly rich tr•liisies Of sgrioulthral wealth, yet, at the same time, their fertility is carehilly pre. ;tined. No toil is spared to secure the highest degree of productiyenes, and no matter bow great the obstacles Which na ture may have'reared in Swigged mood, they - are midribs disappear before the patient in _dusirytottho German farmer, whenever it 7 401 1 11Pq 1111 P°llCy to attack them. When , ernes* Tiii*tyliranfa Gisridicur do , engage Other_jaminiits kh an agriculture, they rsreirlaiirsuccess. l'hinvis nothing sir' - perfleial about them. What they rider take to do they do thoroughly and well. Ardent patriotism forms an almost irYlle. thi 1.4 E 'element of their character. The well know attachment of their ancestors to their father -land is bestowed by them %din, their present homes. They display this feeling alike in war and peace. When the shrill blasts of Mars' trumpets are heard they are always Wong the first, and the—readiest to , iolunteer in their country. The revolution, the will- of 1812, and-the Mexican war am ply prove this statement. Though peaceful in their pu s rsuits and disposition, a auirtial spirit ever glows *within them, and when their country requires their services upon the tented field they are rver ,appeiled to in vain. In times of peace e treasonable and unpatriotic sentiments rarely obtain Omen dorsement. Although in Pennsylvania quite a large portion of them have never ac ted with tho Democratic party, they have rarely sympathized with the ultra, disunion, fanatical ; unpatriotic elements which have' been arrayed against it. They love their country as sell as any men in the Union, and we never hear from their lips the;se anathemas *iron its most cherished institu- Mewl and upon the %cry bulwarks of Ameri can liberty, which arc continually being proclaimed by thosei lio arrogantly boast of possessing, a Burl ior degree of intelli gence. It is true, too, that a large portion of the Germans of Pumisylsama hale, for a long series of years, been unnseerwg in their at tachment to the Democratic party ; and this, after all, is their real offence in the eye's of their maligners. But aim that looks dis passionately back upon the history of that party, and marks bon the paha ay , of Ameri can greatness is strea n nits monuments of the a isdoin of its nit 11h1.1 will dare to say that that attachment ass not a ell fermi (VlVntylly- vania is too ridiculous to need refutation.— Schools are as generally distnhuted throngs there as through any oilier quarter of the States of the Union, and the proportiod of children ni attendance upon them. to the whole population, is within a Ivry small tnlle as great in the Guinan districts of Pennsylvania as in any part of New Eng land. The Germans of Penns) IN nriia lead useful, honest, industrious and _patriotic tiles.— They are generally a healthy and a long lived people. They do the State essential service by contributing to her industrial re sources, by their patriotic demeanor, and by crushing out the pestilential urns with nhich Yankeeism is eternally seeking to poison the political atmosphere. And on the whole, vi e consider an honest ,l'ennsy ama German Democrat a great d4l better man than a Yankee Black Republican, in any point of view. ' Gen. Packer. Will the people of Pennsylvania, in view of the indebtedness of our Commonwealth and ihiiiiiiim - pertince of having an Occ: inimical administration, one at the helm of our State, who, by experience underitands the true policy of our government, we say, will they reject Gen. Packer, whose camel ty and qualifications are admitted on all hands, and select an u nexperienced Man who is wanting that firmness of character (and of doubtful political integrity,) so essential in the Executive ? We have too much confl deuce in the good sense of the people to doubt for a moment but that their judgmeitt would be in favor of a competent man. Then we say all who have the interests of their State at heart, all who desire the Ex ecutive and not demagogues to role, vote for Gen.

The following am the resolutioes, as adop ted, the last three amidst the most enthusias tic applause : Reserved, That the .judicial character of Pennsylvania has derived additional lustre - from the eminent abilities and learning of Judges Lewis and - Black:lv Ittlse -- swessors we have this day hozoinated. That the one. who retires to private life, carries with him the respect and ealeetn,_both of the profes sion with which his duties associated him, and of the people wlibm ho Nerved, and while we did regret to loose the other from tire Bench, we express our gratification that his eminent abilities have been brought into requisition in the National Cabinet. Resolved,. That we fully approve of the policy of the National Administration, as thus far exhibited, and have undiminished confidence in its distinguished head, and in those associated with him in:the conduct of public affairs. lieseleed, That the prompt and decisive 'action of the ?resident of the United States in defence of the elective , franchise in the city of Washington, at the recent charter election in,that city, merits and receives the sanction of all order-loving and lath-abiding Ci tizeus.

Resolved, That the principle contained in the revel decision of the Supreme Coiriq of the United States, in the case of Dred Scott YR. John F. A. Sanford, in regard to the po litical lights of the negro race, meets the hearty acquiessence of the judgment of the Democratic citizens of Pennsylt auto, and is as muck commended to the a hole pe_ppte of the United States, by the fdree of truth and `-•""c on all b the highest sanctions of law. _ Resolved, That in the opinion of thisT'on vention, the last Legislature, whose general course tt as set. repugnant to the feelings, policy and principles of the Democratic par ty, that it cannot be held responsible for any of Its 'acts, demonstrated m an esptcial mariner, its total mailt of, , respect fur the right of the people to de wand from its gov ernment a safe and sound (nit eiwy, by the enormous, mdiariminate and unnecessary increase of the banking capital of the, State. Ilesolvrd, That the passage of the Act by the late Legislature, entitled "An Act to provide for a sale of the Main Line of the Public Works," was a wanton disregard of the best interests of the'Cou u ountiralth, and of the principles of soullid legislation. That whilst in nano it purports to he a sale of works which cost the Slate nearly. twenty millions of dollars, it is intended to hi', in reality, a gift of those works to a Corpora tion. That in permitting the ahandonmetd, of a large portion of said works, there is a great sacrifice of the interests of the people. EAlecially of those in the Western part of the State.

This wits not so, and lie hoped the Convention would, by the adop tion of this resolution, make its position clear. 'Mr. Wright, of Luzerne, said that the res olutions just adopted met his entire 'appro val. Anxious that nothing should lie done on the subject of the sale of the Main Line by the Conventicn without due'reffectiOn, he hail moved the appointment of additional members of the committee on resolutions, expecting, according to parliamentary usage, to have the courtesy extendeil to him of a place on 'that committee. The Presi xfent had violated the usage, but he led tip regrets. The resolutions were all that lie could desire—entirely satisfactory. The - Convention had expressed its hostility to the sale of the Public Works on the present conditions, and that was sufficient. When a sale was proposed on other condij,itin;, and under different circumstances, it would be time enough to act, and he thought the resolution of the Kesitlemoia. front 1/uutatig don premature. lie was in favor of the sale of the Public Works at a fair price, but he was not disposed to give them away, and pay a bonus to the parties who would take them. Mr. Cessna called the attention of the President to a resolution adopted by the Convention in the morning, providing that all resolutions offered in the Convention should be referred, without debate, to the Committee on It molutidris, and hoped that the resolution under consideration would lw thus disposed of. Mr. Portet, of Philadelphia, was oppos.. to any tinkering with the reaolutions.Mhe luelleeux-edepted, if—the--subjiMF • again opened, he should favor the adoption of a stronger resolution in relation to the sale of the Public Works; as he was denbt ful whether that which the Convention had just acted uPon went far enough. If one half, one-fourth, or one hundredth Part of what was rumored of the intended sale was true, then was this State more disgraced and degraded than she had ever been since the time William Penn first set foot upon her virgin soil. - Mr. Politer denotinced ,the bill providing for the sale and the parties who aided in its passage, qualifying his denun ciations by making them dependent upon the truth of.the rumors ho had-heard on the subject. • Mr. Weidman, of Lebanon, thought that the resolution ortho gent:cm:in from Hunt ingdon presented.a_newjaane, and said-that it had always been the custom of the Demo- Crictic patty - to meet issue s, not to present them,..and therefore he oils opposed to it. 7— , Their constituents krill sent them there, not ; djacuu+'tiltether nr not tie 31aill Line ought to be sold, but to denounce and cpn-' demon bill ?kissed by_ the last Legislature, proiidirig for that sole 'wen et rutin tions.

Labor is but little, if•any, better rewarded than it 'was years ago. On the contrary, the price of nearly every 'article of fcibd has risen by ap , Palling degrees within the past 9vo years.— It now; lakes nearly a Week's arm& to buy a barrel of flour, and a day's work to buy a biltdiel,of potatoes. It takes half a year's wages to pay the rent of a dwelling house ; and a moiety of the other half to buy fuel:— Half of a single man's wages is required to pay his board. These dreary facts render it almost iippos si bit, that laboring men should ever gain tin independent competence, or even lay by so mething for a rainy day." And w here is a prospect of better times 1 The new coun tries that used to fbrnish the niarkets with abundance at low prices, are exhausted to supply their own new settlers with food till they can mat-food-for themselves.

These dreadful alternatives are already indicated by short rations and famine prices.--Economy, dust ry, e,n useless expenditures, low taxes, more planting and less spending for luxu nca, are the only remedies we can reconi. mend. The Main Line in Cambria County The people of Cambria county are an much excited upon the sale of the Main Line now, as they were at first. They certainly do have n most abiding and immediate interest in the question, and the feeling they Instil febt Is nothing more than the 'vomit to be ex ported. A meeting of the citizens of the county, without respect to party, was held at };bens. burg, on Tuesday :Ist, at which very spirited resolutions were adopted. Among them ware the following: Resolved, That the citizens of Cambria county ha'() ever evinced a readiness to obey the laws-and stand by the authorities of the country, but when they see their rights about to be bartered to a soulless curpo ration, and the burthens of the holiest tax payers in creased, they feel bound to resist, and before other nit asurt ',mum! necessary w mild call upon the Supreme Court to interpose and prevent the consummation of this nefarious law that is so destructive to the interests of the people.
