THIS STATE CONVENTION*
The Democratic State Convention, which assent- [•
bled at Harrisburg on the 4th Inst, adjourned sine die
on Monday evening last. In our paper of to-day |
will be found the official proceedings. Every county
in the State was represented; and, although there
was considerable debate on several questions brought
before the Convention, yet we-are happy to have it I
in our.power to state that all was well—all was!
union, and harmony and good feeling at tho final]
adjournment. Every question of Interest was fully!
discussed, and tftb result satisfactory to all. The
Convention was composed of men of character and
worth. It was a body, which, in talents and Irue de
votion to the glorious principles of democracy, would
compare with any similar one in our recollection.
There were differences of opinion as to who should
receive the vote of Pennsylvania for tho Presidency,
but all agreed that the nominee of the National
Convention should receive the hearty support of all.
The friends of Mr. Buchanan composed a respectable
majority of (ho Convention, and wo were gratified to I
see that they did not attempt to adopt any meastye
calculated to offend the minority, and wo wore
equally gratified to notiro that tho minority voted for
the resolutions instructing tho delegates to tho No.l
tioosl Convention to “ vote for James Buchanan until
a majority of them shall otherwise decide,” Indeed
the resolution instructing tho delegates for Mr. Bu -
chanan was offered by a delegate.who voted against I
him, Mr. Lnwry of Crawford. This was tho proper!
spirit, and it goes to prove that tho Democratic party 1
of theold Keystone is firmly united, us one man,
upon their great, principles. Every member of the]
Convention acted as if he foil entirely confident of a
glorious victory next fall against tho hosts of Fedor
alism,under whatever bannerthey may adopt.' They
all, without an exception, voted for the resolution in.
■trucling Ijm. Electors ” to vote for the nominee of I
the Nutionofconvention.” This was the true policy.
Democrat# may honestly entertain different view# os I
* to who viiould be oar standard bearer in-the next
great contest, but tho National Convention will settle *
the question, In a manner, wo trust,as will give sot* !
Ufacllon lb all. After that, the battle will bo alone
with our reckless and unprincipled opponent#, the
Federalist*. We do not fear the result. ,* .
The Electoral Ticket is composed of (rue Demo,
crate—men of sterling worth—and tho. Address ond
Kesolullone—'which ( wc shall publish in our next, If
possible—arc drawn up in (ho proper spirit, and wor*
thyoClhc parly and (he cause. Never did wo feel
prouder of our Stale and her noble democracy—never
more sanguine of a brilliant, a glorious triumph of
our principles. “Everything for the cause, and
nothing .for man," Is, and will continue to bo the
motto of (ho unterrified democracy of Ihcold
stone. Tho Federalists to talk of carrying Punnsyl*
rsnia' for .Henry Cloy or Gen. Taylor! As well
might the arm of on infant attempt to shako her Iron
hills from their foundations! The democracy of our
noble State are toojealous of their principles.to suffer
Federalism to triumph In Pennsylvania, All are
ready, wlllipgi and determined tosustain the nominee
of the Dallimore*Convenllon, be he whom homey,
and our Federal opponents should know by .this time,
