A Ticket that Cannot be Defeated. IIuckaletT, Tliumpseu, Ilurlley, ana Victory. A NOIXD DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM. Not in the his'ory cf the Democracy of Prut sylvania. says the Potttville Standard. has theie ever astsembled a convention equal iu nua.bers, iuielligence and enthusiasm, to the convention ol Thursday. From the mouutaius of the interior, from the valleys of the weil, from the fair fields of the east, the representatives of the Keystone Dtmo cracy asserubUd :n their strength. It was. j ltUeea, a grand outpouring, a demonstration that in its esM-uce aud nuruencal strength is an ample answer to the silly taunt that the j DtCKcratio party is dead. It has demon, straitd the inherent strength of the Demo- I ctatic party and its determination to over j thiow the coriupt and rutten "rirgs" that now cotiuo: me dale adniinistration, and which lave been and are plundeiiug thep.-o pie ot tl ieir tubntance lo etnicli a ccrporatiOQ of thieving scoundrels. Early on Wednesday morning, or indeed, on Tuesday night, it became evident that the attendance would greatly ixceed that of auy previous State Convention, and as train alter train brought iu its hundreds of peo pie, the stretts ol R-adiug became more and more densely crowded, while hotels and piivate bian.ing utilises overflowed with a mass of burning, enthusiastic Democratic humanity. Durmg the alternoon processions headed by bands of music paiaded the streets, and in the evening lunment-e alas meetings convened at dilfercnt points and were aildr-ssed by romiueut Democratic sjeakers. Every whets the enthusiasm was intense and the universal sentiment was f t r au unexceptionable State ticktt. Aslcadeis of the Stale ticket iu the pending campaign, Butkalew, Cass, McClelland, Noyee aud McCalmunt seemed to have a large number of fr:ends aud ardent supporters. While personal preferences were quite btrong, there was an absence of rancorous or bitter fee!-, ing, the univeisal aeuttment being for har mony and a union of all honest men in cp poritk'U to the corruptions of the present State adii.iiji.-trution and . the venal crew managed by Mackey. Q iay & Co , who, to the shame of the Siate, uo u said, "ruu the macliine." MKKTING 9F THE CONVENTIOK. At piece y 11 o'ch-ck a. m., the Hon. William A. Wallace. Chairman of the Siate Ctutrai Con.m ttee, called the CnvtLtiou to order.

On motion of Mr. Emery, of Lycoming, a committee cf two were appointed lo in form Mr. Clymer of his election, and escort him to the chair. speech: or nos. nzisTiR cltiier. IIou. lleister Clymer, on being introduced to the convention, spoke as follows : Gentlemen op tdk Contention : I am profoundly grateful to you for this, as you will bear me witness, unsolicited honor. It adds another to the many debts of gratitude I owe to the democracy of Pennsylvania, and did I not know that the honor was paid to the county of Berks, ui. conquered and im conquerable. 1 could not discharge the great deb. This is a solemn hour. From all parts of this Keystone State, f om our r. vers, which fl w to the gtiif, from tfre southern borders, from the northern line, men have come up bore together to consult for the de liverance of the laud. For twelve years, b ug, dreary, bitter yeara, the people of the whole land have suffered worse than au Egyptian bondage. G od men everywhere to-day are consulting together how there may be a deliverance from the gripe of mili tary poller, from this oppression and wroDg, from suffering which we endure patiently, because we hope aud believe that in the de mocracy and in the good men of the whole laud ihere can yet be deliverance from them. We are about to appeal to the wh -le peoplo of the whole S.ate aud to the whole coun try. I will not say how you arc to appeal to them. It v;i!l not be my plea-ure for one moment to indicate to this convention what they shall do. I can or.ly ask tha your con vention shall be conducted in the :.terest of the r'ght. and it will and mnsf b:ar abun dant Irtiits. I have nothing to t.ty to you with reierer.ee to men, nothing with refemice lo him who should fill the high petition of Governor. It in my pleasure to know every gentleman mentioned in connection with that t fiicc and to know them personalty. Who ever he may be be will ba ia.nieasu! ably the peer of his opponent. Y u are about to be gin your deliberations. You will allow me most reverently te humbly ask tha divine b'etsing of Him withotit.wbose aid and 'guid ance the labors of meu are in vain. I have but one more word to add, that you will pardon any error I may make and believe it to be an error of the head and not of the heart, i am done, gentlemen, aud am ready to receive any motions that the convention may have to offer. 'l.e rJI was called by the Secretary, and the following resolution was offered : Resolved, That a committee of thirty three be appointed, one from each senatorial dis trict, to repeit the names of fourteen persons at large as delegates to the constitutional convention, and ten persons as delegates to the democratic national convention. The firot part of the resolution was adopt ed. The proposition to send ten delegates at largo to the national convention was opposed by Mr. Lamberton. of Luzerne. He was not in favor of a committee choosing tbe dele gates to the national convention. That power should be exercited by the convention itself. The consideration of the second portion of the. resolution was, on motion, postponed indefinitely. Mr. Carrigan desired to ask of tbe chair mau of the committee on resolutions what progress they were making in their duties. Governor Bigler, ihaiiman, said that the committee were not ready to report. The committee would hardly be ready to report before to morrow murning. A motion was made to proceed to nominate candidates for Governor. It was agreed to, and the followiug nominations were made : General G. W. Cass. Hon. C. R. Buckalew, D. M. Fox. J. S Wharton. Col. A. C. Noyes, W. P Schell. II T. Wright. Hjn. William M'C elland. Gneral M'Calmount, lion. K. L. Acker, John R. Reading and M. C. Trout. Mr. Carrigan of Philadelphia, nomiuated Hon. Iliester Clymer. Mr. CI) mer remarked I am not insensible to the kindness of my friend from Philadelphia, but he knows me too well to think that his kindness would permit me to do anythiug that would jeop ardise our victory. I am at the service of the democrats of this State rather as a pri vate ; I am ready and willing to serve, and to follow its marches, firmly believing and. earnestly praying for a great aud glorious victory. You w.ill allow me to decide the motion nominating me to be out of order. Let this convention nominite a man who will lead us on to victory. On motion of Mr. Randall the nominations were closed. Messrs. Acker and Readins were withdrawn. The convention then proceeded to balloU ing. with the followiug result: F.rst ballot Cass. 47; Buckalew, 23; Mc Clelland. 13: Noyes. 12; McCalmont, 10; Wright. 8; Fox, 8; Schell, C; Wharton, 3; Trout, 2. .

The convention leasrembled at 10 o'clock this morning, Hon. Iieisier Clymer in the chair. Several substitutions of delegates were made. The Committee appointed to introduce the Hon. Chas. R. Buckalew to the Gmveution, accompanied by that geutleman, were an nounced. Mr. Buckalew was greeted with hearty cheers, aud proceeded to address the Conven tion. He said lh:il he appealed before the C'U vent ion, at the solicitation of the Com mittee, to thank the member, and. he hoped, the eutire State, for the honor confer red upon him by uaming him es the Demo cratic raudidatc lor Governor of this Com monwealth. Too nomination was not soli cited it came as the legitimate, healihy outgrowth of public opiniuu in this State; not because cf pie eminent ability or dis tinguished character cf the candidate, but because bis public life of twenty five jears Dad led them to thd belief lhat he was a man neither to be seduced nor intimated, and in the perfoimauce cf public duties he will statu! as tiim as a rock for the people in opposition to corruption and mouopoly. He hoped the nomination would be ratilied by the whole people, aud hoped, although net prompted by seifi.-h motives, that the movement would go forward to tiiumph. The people desire that this government s-hall be pure and honest, f.iir and equal, iu all its acts, and the old motto would be ameuded to read. "Principles, and Meu to maintain them." There was a failure in Sta-.e and National affairs, because cf the need of meu to carry out the grand and fundamental principles, and he urged it as the great woik of the mission of reform of this year to Secure men to carry out these principles. His opinion of a Governor of a State was that he was a mere magistrate ; that he should not know lhat he had been elected by a party, nor release prisoners from j tils and the penitentiary becau-e of the urgent appeals of party friends, and to secure political advautage. He thought theie was a disposition to cut loose from the strict patly- lies, and a feeling among a'l good meu lo uutte to carry out the grand principles and issues which are at stake. "In view tf this general disposition for S'aie and national lefbrtu," he said, "we are entitled to appeal to all men of all parties lo aiJ iu establishing a new depar ture which -h.'ill insure a pure, honest and fauhful government." He refened to the 1 ict that the nomination tf the Convention h-d been cudorsed by all cf the candidates for the position, and hoped their friends would stand by him, hold up his hand, aud like a band ol brothers, march forward to victory. In concluding, he said he would have an opportunity of meeting the citizens of the State duriug the canvass and address them on State and national questions. He would do his duty, and it was ixpected every member of the party would do his duty. The .speech was frequently interrupted by applause, aud when the spcakei con cluded three cheers for the candidate were given. Mr. Clymer said at the close cf the ad dress : May a kiud Providenco guard aud keep him ; m y the good people sustaiu aud support him, and may honest men, every where and if every political creed, rejoice that they have sstiuck hands, when, in him, by him and through him, imbecility and cor ruption is to be bauished from the executive and legislative departments of this Com mon wealth. The following gentlemen were then placed in nomination lor Auditor General : Geu. W. II. H. Davis. Gen. Wm. McCandlees, F. M. Crauc, Wm. Hartley , John Loshe, J. F. 'lV,tnj,le. n. L.

The names of Messrs. Loshe, Temple, of Philadelphia, Marsh aud Baiid were with drawn. Second ballot Davis. 29; McCandless. 8; Ciaue, 8; Hartley, 79 ; Temple, ol Green, 9. Mr. Hartley having received' a majority of ad the votes, he was duly announced as nominated, which was made unanimous. General Davis, of Bucks, made a few re trial ks, in which he prouounced the success of the party a certainty. Mr. William Hartley, the ' candidate for Auditor Geoeral, whs introduced to the con veuiiou and spote as follows : " Gent Icruc-u of the cmveution and fellow citizeus, I have no language to express to jou ihe feelings of my heart, for the honor which you have conferred upon me. know ing lhat as a politician, as a party man it ia entirely unmerited, aud though I have lived forty years I have cever held an office of trustor emolument. ' No matter what sios 1 may be guilty of, 1 do not think that I have thought more highly of myself than I should have thought,, aud it is a. great gratification to me lo day to know lhat my Ir it lids and ueighbors have thought better of me thau I have myself. I stand before you without any pteparcd speech. I expected merely after my name was used in connec tion with this office a complimentary vote. A few weeks ago 1 never dreamed ot being piesented to the people of Pennsylvania by ibis convention for so honorable a position. As you have seou fit in your wisdom, or folly, to place me before the people of the State.

Ex-Governor Digler, Chairman of the Com mittee on Resolutions, submitted the follow ing : " ' Jlesohed. That the Democratic party, whi'a in the luiure as in the past, Study uphoids the Constitutiou of the LTuittJ Slates as the fouudaticn aud limitatiou of the powers of the General Government, and th safe shield of the liberties of the people, demands for the cit'Z-o the largest freedom consistent with . puulic order, aud for tvery State the right if elf goverment ; that to uphold the former and practice t lie latter the Democracy of Pennsylvania can find no better platform npon which to stand than the great leading princinles enunciated iu the iuauguial ad dress of President Jtffcr.on and the fa'ewell address of the immortal Jackson. Upon these two great State pspers we p'arit our selves and enter the con'est f 1872. lleaolctd. That abued a the public confi dence has been ty a long period of ifiicial mismauagement, waste and fraud, this Con vention invites the co operation of all c t'zns "of the Commonwealth in the earnest effort which tha great cotistituency.it represents i about to make to remove from our State ad ... miuistration every taint of political corrup tion. The interest of every Pennsylvanian is directly and vitally concerned in the eradi cation of all unjust usages aud practices by which individual fortuues may be created at public cost ; and the attempt to do this can be made certainly "successful hy the union of upright aud fair-m'uded men cf all parties, aud by sustaining candidates of nnqueatioiiid abilities and unspotted names. Ileaolced. That this Convention appeals to the people of Pennsylvania for the support of the candidate fr Governor whom it has placed iu nomination, because his election will secure at once a correction of existing wrongs, and the permanent future prosperi ty cf the State.

Jiesoleed. That in presenting the Hon.
