ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE OF PEXXSfLV UU, 1 tie People of Pennsylvania assembled in convention at Hurrisburg, on the birthday of the Lather id his Country, hereby nominated Gen. Simon Cameron tor President of the Uni | ted States. This act is not done hastily, r.or without oare ! fui consider a trou of all its consequences, and of i all the isslies involved in the present niouieut | otis struggle (or the highest office in the gift of j this great nation. j The reasons which liave influenced us in cout j tog to the conclusion *•; have reached, we uow j present to our fellow citizens: Ist. Gen. Cameron is/the only man, go far as we can see, of si! those jivw mentioned for the Presidency, who can unite the entito body of people who are opposed to the present corrupt and disgraceful Administration. That a ma jority of the nation aio opposed to it we fully oelievofUwi there i< immuumt danger, from the want, not of strength, bur. of Union, of a fail ure to elect any man who will lie uu honor to the country, it is very clear that any candidate who, on tbe one hand, is considered uitia or ex travagant in his views, or who, on the other, would be considered as uutrue to those princi ples of liberty which are the very pulsatious of a freeman's heart, could not command the suf frages of the united Opposition. The nmi who will ho elected must he sole to carry Pennsyl vania ud the Slates which lie west of it, while, at the same time, there must be nothing iu his oharaoter or history which will prevent his be ing received wiib entire cordiality by the Kas tern States, by New York and "by the North West. V/e are unabio to name uuy statesman who combines these requisites except the mau of our choice. For mure than half a century uo President has been elected without the vote of Pennsylvania. The loss of this .State, and that of the oihers to wbieh we have adverted, was the cause of our defeat at the last election. Let us learn wisdom by experience. 2. That Gen. Cameron's name is a tower of strength in Pennsylvania -..ptara from our ao tion to-day. Bat the '. uses of it arc uot ob scure. He has boeu the early and unwavering friend of every measure calculated to devclope the resources of the State aud ro protect its domestic industry. iS'ut. a mile of canal has teen dug, nor a seciioti of a railroad construct ed, in which he has not taken an interest. In bringing the iron and the coal from their miues i.nd making iheui pr 1 ivo and useful, be has been constantly active, aDd to no man utoro than to Geu. (Jatnercu, can we confidently for the restoration of the cheerful hum of ne- glected industry in this old Commonwe- 1, by nature so highly favored. A Peunsylvauian's heart is tu him, and no man dare say that he has not constantly ami unswervingly given his best cnergm* to her welfare. And she, as is fitting, now preseuts him to the naiim—bis faithfulness to her is a pledge that tie will be faithful to the whole country. 3. Wo present Gen. Oaaieton to the people as h national man in the best and highest sense. VY ith some persons national character means only subservience to an aristocracy who are con tent to live iu ease ou the sweat of the brows of men whom they look down upoa as their in feriors, only made to he perpetually servile.— Gen. Cameron believes in uo such nationality. He is a self-made-man. tic not only believer iu free labor in others, but he has exemplified it in his own life*. Possessed at first only of an honest, tutue, derive! from a virtuous and opt undistinguished auuestry, baviugiy ou a strong arm and a clear biato, he has himself gained by his own ruatiiy'exertions every step of hi way. lie can sympathise by experience, with all classes of his lellow men. He has shown bis ability to govern others by first governing himself. He lias never sought a station which he has not'gained; he has never faded in any undertaking which he seriously essayed. He has been equal to every station he has reached, and he knows himself so thoroughly that he will accept nothing for which be is uot fully quali fied. Iu regard to that great question uow be fore the Auierioau people, aud ou which all men have a right to demand a frank expression ot opinion—the. extension of Slavery—Gen. Cameron's record is clear. Against the earn est pleadings of personal friends high in power he voted for the Wilmot proviso. Everywhere aud at all times he has been 011 this subject a thorough This State, was ihe first (o abolish slavery, iu her great < maucipa | lion law passed in L7BU, seven years before the adoption of the Constitution of the United Siacs, used the following remarkable language: 44 We coEcoivc that it is our duty, and we re joice that it is in our power, to extend a portion of that freedom to others whicn hath bseu ex tended to us, aud release tbein from that state of thraldom to which we ourselves were tyran nically doomed, and from which we have uow every prospect of being delivered. We esteem it a peouiiar blessing granted to us, that we are this day to add oue more step to uni versal civilization, by removing, as mu :h as possible, the sorrows of those who have lived in)undeserved boudage, and from which, y ibe authority of the King of Great Britain, no ef fectual legal relief could be obtained. Injus tice, therefore, to persons so unhappily circum stanced, and, also, in grateful commemoration of our own happy deliverance from the state of unconditional submission, to which wo were doomed by the tyranny of Great Britain"— they proceeded to pass an emancipation law. In thc-e noble sentiments, Gen. Cameron has ever occurred. While maintaining the absolute right ot every State to manage its own domes tic affairs, to adopt and control its own insti tutions, without interference from any quarter, he has inflexibly resisted all attempts to extend slavery; Believing that its influence is always deleterious to the prosperity of any State where it established. At the same time ho is au earnest and cordial frieud of the Union and the I Constitution, under which it was formed. But j while upholding these principles, he ha 9 never yielded anything to arrogance or assumption, lie nas calmly maintained the rigbts of his j ow n ("fate, understanding weii that gieat prin ciple that if we wouiu have others to respect it*, we must respect ourselves. Wo i-k with confidence, then, in what re spect General Cameron fails of meeting the ' precise want of this time ? - Strong as adamant at hom#.; carrying the States esteemed as doubtffl} in this oontest; without one charac teristic which is obnoxious to the opposition party it; any quarter ; a man ever calm, cool, able, successful, patriotic, we >k his nomination by the National Convention as the certain pressago of his election by the peo pio of the United States. Resolved, That the following geDtleß.cn be the Delegates at large, viz : David v ikii.rt, Henry D. Moore, 8. A. Purvauce, Andrew U. Reedtr, Thsdftriftt atcYAßft, Titiajfi J. Coffey, Jobn 11. Ewiug, Morrow B. Dowry. Resolved, That Gov. Jam en Pollock ana the Hon. Thos. 31. Howe be the electors at large. Resolved, That the present National Admin istration, by disregarding tie just ciaiun of the industrial interests of t!ie wuole country, by fostering sectional excitements and antago nisms, by conniving at schemes of land pira cies. and by tbo rankest corruption diffused throughout all the departments of the govern ment, has forfeited the confidence and rospeet of the people, has disgtaced Republican insti tutions in the eyes of all observers, whether at home or abroad, and deserves a signal rebuke from the ftieuds of constitutional order and of political justice. Resolved, That corruption in the Administra tion ot the general government,combined with federal usurpation, both of the delegated rights of the States, and the reserved rights ol the people, have become so £ 'graut and audacious as justly to excite the most serious apprehensions in the breasts of the intelligent aud thoughtful of our citizens for the stability of our free institutions,-ami especially for the maintenance of personal liberty and State sovereignty. Resolved t Tbat believing Slavery to bo un ele ment of political weakness aud of so : ai infe licity, we are unalterably opposed to s exten sion into free Territories. Resolvd , That the dogma that the Constitu tion, of its own force,carries Slavery into all or aay of th territories of the United Stat ~is ?> tew and dangerous political heresy, a va ! atice with tbo explicit provisions of t in strument itself, with its coutemporanct. i ex position, and with legislative and judi .1 pre cedent, that it, is revolutionary in its tendency, and subversive of the peace and harmony ot •he people. Resolved, That the African Sli.ve Trade is a relic of barbarism, oondemncd alike by the civilization, the humanity, the laws and the religion of the age ; that the attempt to re open it is an effort of the powers of darkness to bring again the rrigu of "Chaos and Night," which patriots, philanthropists und christians are under the most weighty and solemn obli gations to oppose. Resolved, That we view with just apprehen sion and alarm the reckless extravagance in expenditure which pervades every department of the Federal Government, aud thp steady auu persistent departure from the principles and policy of the founders of our institutions, that the. restoration of a system of rigid eeou omy and accountability is indispensable to re strain the plunderers who feast upon the Treasury, and to prevent our politics troui de generating into a wild anu shameful scramble lor the spoils, iu which personal deoenoy and public morality shall he overthrown. Resolved , That to maintain inviolate the rights of the States, and especially the right of each State to order and control its own do mestic institutions according to its own judg ment exclusively, is essetAial to that balance of power on wbicti the perfection and endur ance of our political fabric depeuds, and we denouueß now, as' heretofore, the lawless in vasion by armed force of the soil of any State or Territory, no matter under what pretexts, as among the gravest of crimes. Resolved, That it does not eutor into the scfaemo of the Opposition party to seek the ab olition of sluvcty iu the States where :t now exists, but to leave the amelioration aud ulti mate abandonment of the system to the moral, religious and economic forces which pertain to the slave holding communities, assured of thei fiual prevalence of justice throughout all the j lmd, among all tbe inhabitants thereof. Resolved, That to the union of the States ! this nation owes its unprecedented increase in j population, its surprising development of ma- j terial resources,its rapid augmentation of wealth, its happiness at home and its honor abroad, and that, consequently, we hold in abhorrence j all machination* for disunion, come from what- ■ ever source they may. Resolved, That tbe threat of disunion in ' case the Republicans and their affiliants shall elect ttie next President, repeatedly made in 1 both Houses of Congress by Democratic mem bers, noc simply without rebuke, but with uni form applause from their political associates, is a deniul of that vital principle of popular gov- I eminent; free election, und a bold avowal and j countenance of contemplated treason, whieb it ' is tbe imperative duty of tbe people to sternly j confront and forever silence. Resolved, That while we are now opposed, as we have ever been,jio the extension of slavery, we hail tho people of tbe South as brethren, ID whoso prosperity wo rejoice, and whose constitutional rights and privileges we are prepared to sustain and defend. Tbat in tbe spirit of good neighborhood, whenever tho passions of different sections of our common country come iu conflict, we stand on tbe ground of mutual forbearance, believing that a fraternity of feeling is a chief element of our national strength. Resolved, Tbat in the enactment of revenue laws by the General Government, fair and ad equate protection should bo systematically af forded to the industry of all classes of our citizens. That we maintain a devoted attach ment to tbe policy of national exchanges, which secures to the working men liberal wages, to funnels aud planters remunerating prices for rheir products to mechanics and mL-ifacturers for tbeir skill, labor and enter prise, and to the nation commercial prosperity and independence. Resale That we approve the policy of a donation by tbe General Government of a homestead to every actual settler upon the public domain, aud we hereby request our Representatives to urge the passage of such a law without delay. Resolved, That the purity and safety of the ballot bx must be preserved, tin 1 that frauds upon 'he naturalization UWJ, continually re sorted to by our opponents, ought to be counter noted by proper and wholesome legislation. R<-soh J-d, That the influx upoc us of foreign criminals is au evil of serious uiignituie, which demands the interposition of a proper and ef tioient legislative remedy. Resolo'd, Tnat this Convention most cheer fully recommend to the people of Pennsylva nia, Col- Andrew G. Curtin, the nominee of this Convention, as a candidate for Governor, uud mutually pledge themselves to bis support; that on account of bis long and proved devo tion to the Protection of American Industry, involving the dearest and most material wel fare of the people of this Commonwealth, and his earnest hdelity to the interests of the la bor of white men, and opposition to the exten sion of slavery over our territories, an i as a representative of the principle of reform, re trenchment and iutcgriiy in the administration of governmental affairs, he is well qualified to receive the suffrages of the people ot this cen tral, conservative Comtuonwealfb, which is un alterably and inalienably planted to the main tenance of the Union and the perpetuation of tho constitution of the United States in its en tire integrity, and according to its ex an'mo interpretation, and the real sense of its terms and language. Mr. Petriken moved that the address and resolutions be adopted, which was unanimous ly agreed to. Mr. Purvianee moved tCat a committee ot three be appointed to inform the Hon. Simon Gameron that he is the choice of Pennsylvania tor tlie Presidency. Adopted unanimously. Whereupon the Chair appointed the follow ing Committee: Messrs. Purvianee, Hampton and Williston. Mr Williston moved that the resolution of fered by him in 'he morning be now consider ed. it was read as follows: The Nation tl Republican Executive Com mittee has called the Natioual Convention of the party ou the 13th of June, and have refu sed to ehange the time of holding said con vention; ami whereas, we consider the day na med us top late and likely to eudanger our na tional success. Therefore Resolved, that the Chairman of this Con vention bo directed to correspond with the Chairmen of the respective Republican Execu tive Committees of othor States, ursing imme diate action to secure the fixiug of an earlier day for 'bo meeting of the National conven tion, not later than the seeoud week in A/ay. Tbe resolution was not agreed to. The committee appointed to iuforuithe Hon. Simon Camerou that he is the choice of Penn sylvania for the Presidency, have the honor to announce, that tbey ba*-o performed that duty, and that General Cameron expressed his pro found gratitude for the eminent distinction conferred npon him, and his entire and hearty approbation of the proceedings of tho conven tion; that tbe confidence of his fellow citizens of this Commonwealth, as shown by the actiou of tl is convention, is the mere gratifying to him as it is the voluntary offering of those amoug whom he has lived in youth and man hood. !lr. Darlington moved the following resolu tion: Resolved, That the State Central Committee be authorized to fill any vacancy that may oc cur in tbe delegation of tho State at large to the Chicago Convention, and iti the electoral ticket- Mr. Dickey moved to amend. "And that VOL. 33, NO. 11. each elector give a written pledge to sup pot the candidate nominated at Chicago, which was not agreed to. The crigiual resolution was then agreed to. SPEECH OF COL. CURTIN. Mr. President and Gentlemen : I would not be false to the natural pride which 1 feel in my nominal nby this intelligent body. It is to me no p rsonal triumph. lam happy to be ia the exaitt i position in which your kindness has placed u —the representative of a great par ty, enjoy g great political sentiments. It is not- that i .abould personally have been prefer red by tnis body to other gentlemen who con tested this nomination, for i do not pretend to any superiority ever them which should have subjected me to your marked kindness. It is not a personal triumph. 1 have no animosity. 1 have no enmities to the friends that now sur round me in this place, and I would obliterate from my memory the record of the vcte by which 1 triumphed. I am a party tnan.— [cheers.] My allegiance to the party has never been doubted, and when tbe drum beats I was not the tardy soldier to fall into the ranks at any part of tny life, [cheers.] I congratulate you upon tbe harmony and unanimity with which the protracted sessions of this Conven tion have closed. There is success intimated in tbe extreme anxiety of tbe public, [cheers.] You have given are the nomination. . You nave placed me there my friends say, unanimously. [Loud cheers.] lam thankful that there was no animosity to me in the breast of any dele gate in this body to make hiiu refrain fret® giving to the candidate of the party the unan imity which he deserves at tbe hands of ti. Convcuttou. You Lave placed me in nomination. Do you imagine that your duty is pet formed ? We battle with a foe iong in power, well versed in political tactics, with means and appurtenan ces of men and money, and I need support in the great struggle which is to follow your action. I call upon the one hundred and thirty-three delegates, with the President at their head—whom I know well—to come into the field, make a bold efforr, surround the standard bearer, and victory will perch upon him. Your duty performed, I have a duty to perform, and cau assure you that my covenant wili be performed with fidelity. 1 will take the standard of the party aud plant it upon the shores of Lake Erie, and carry it to the Delaware. [lmmense applause.] The fight will commence soon, [cheers.] 1( 1 full in the struggle, DO matter. It is a man thai has sunk under the pressure. But if Ido fall, 1 will elevate the standard—forprinciples cau never die. Carry the unanimity and sense of this convention into the Chicago convention; make the sentiment national. Give us a can didate for the Presidency worthy of the place. Let the voice of Pennsylvania be heard.— [cheers.] Lot us have the position which we u-esiro IU the affairs of this nation, and the rank our position and necessities demind. If victory go with us, something Las been achieved for the country; nothing for the in dividual. Having served long and faithfully in the party, my personal triumphs must orig inate in the triumph of principle. If the prin ciple tails, it is your fault, not mine. • I am a fee hie man, but 1 will perform my duty faith fully. Hero 1 pledge myself to perform every coveuaut 1 this day make with you. [Cheer ing, lend and long continued.] SPEECH OF MR. COVODE. Mr. President and Gentlemen:—lt is with pleasure that I come among you, and that I meet with you on this occasion. You have as sembled here for the purpose of putting in nomination a candidate for Governor of this greu end growing Commonwealth. As my uaute has been used in connection therewith, let me ay that it has been done without much effort on my part to secure a nomination. I have n ,dc hut few personal appeals, and there tore whatever support I may have had on this occßMt has come from you, gentlemen, with out the u;"ual pressure, for which I feel grate ful and will ever remember yen. You have nominated a gentleman of distinguished abili ty, one competent and able to canvass the State, an i proclaim your sentiments. There are other great interests, however, which over ride the question of Governor. The contest for members of Congress and for President of the United States comos off' during tho next summer and tall—a contest of vast importance considering the principles involved iu the con troversy, aud the great interests which Penn sylvania has at stake. We should be, there tore, firmly united to carry our points against the corruption of the Democratic Administra tion. Let ma tell you we are about cnteriug a struggle, tho liko of which wo have never un dertaken, with a party that has to make its last desperate effort iu Pennsylvania against the principles of proteotion and the elevation of the laboriug UIUD, the waite uiaa. [Contin ued applause.] in view of the great import ance of driving from power the administration whioh has sustained itself only by corruption, it is necessary that every man should buoslo ou his aiuior and go forth to victory [Ap plause.] Let uio tell you that this aduiiuir iratiou has not been able to eleot a single mouther to Congress from Pennsylvania with out corruption or deception. As a member of -an investigating committee I bare made the important discovery that the only power left to > tbis administration in the N< rtb is its pat rouage and its ability to use it corruptly.— [Applause.] We have passed through a strug gle ou the Lecomptou bill since 1 went to Con gress, in which we wero defeated—and bowl Why, by direct negotiations. A Voice. Where did the money come from'? Mr. Oovode. The money came from the Treasury of the United States, indirvotly, and
