The resolutions adopted by the recant Stale Con* vcnUon, assembled at WUUmspoil, are of the right stamp, and worthy of the Democracy afPennsylvanis. They wore reported by that unflinching Democrat, Col. Reah FraxSr, of Lancaster,, and re-affinn, in emphatic language, the cherished principles of (he Democratic party—those principles which have gui ded the destinies of this great nation, through event ful periods of her history, to a glorious and enduring prosperity. ’They embody a truly national feeling, and are a dignified and Rrmrebuko to those wlio would build up sectional parlies, and divide nnd dis tract different portions of (ho Dnloh by sectional is sues. They ora 1 imbued with the same catholic apir-. it, that pervaded the minds of the patriots and states men of iho revolutionary epooh, when In a crisis of the greatest magnitude they harmonized like broth* ersin a common cause, and united disoordonl and jarring materials, into one groat and harmonious wholo., • One who loves his country cannot but re spond With all his heart to the sentiment so elo quently ex-pressed, “ That as Peansylv6nians t our whole country is alike dear to us; we have no section al feelinge —we recognize no North,noSouth.no East t no West—and this great Slate, occupying her central position, can countenance no disaffection to that Union now expanding from Ocean to Ocean." The resolutions reaffirm the "Baltimore platform," and smother In oblivion (he puny efforts of a few disaffected and pretended .Democrats, who have in Pennsylvania boon striving to tliiow us into the deathlike embraces of the Abolitionists. Tho De mocracy of this county expressed the true sent* imonls of tho party on this subject at Us recent Convention, notwithstanding the reckless assertions incur midst to tho contrary, and wo ore happy to (find those sentiments to" triumphantly sustained Iby the assembled Democracy of the State. We hope to hoar no more canting by any pretended Do* mbera t, about the “ narrow and contracted Baltimore Platform Tho doctrine of non intervention on the subject of slavery, is the national and truly De mocratic doctrine, and lie is an enemy to (lie peace «nd prosperity of. the country, and perpetuity of (he Union jteelC who inculcates the contrary. It throws that subject in (ho power of, (ho people, vvhojare to be affected by (he vexed question referred to, end discountenances all foreign interference as injurious and pernicious in its tendency. It is the Democrat ic doctrine—for it inculcates the true policy of rely ing upon the honesty of the people and their capaci ty to govern,themselves. “ That government is best which governs (ho least " —which is particularly (rue of a government of limited andproicribed powers, like our own. Tho institution of slavery isa-local institution, countenanced by the common law of the land, before wo had a national existence, and forced on ub by circumstances over which wo had no control. That it is on evil which all deplore, few will deny, but tho evil, waa brought on us by others, and not by oursolvca. It grew up and was fostered In our colo nial state, and extended by (he force and power of the evil Itself. ’ But by bur laws it is a social institu tion, over which the constitution of our nation has confessedly, no power, cither to expand or. restrain, bill whose existence rt was bound to recognize and acknowledge, and could no more deny, than we could doubt that of ourselves. But because this is so, are we (o labor after im passibilities, and carry on a crusade against the rights of bur southern brethren 7 Are we to say to them, although we hove not the right to meddle with your affairs directly, by the terms of the lion, wo will appeal to a ,r higher law,” and do so indirectly? Such is not in accordance with the let ter or the spirit of the compact, Into which lire sov ereign states hate entered. We are therefore highly gratified a| the patriotic and nobfo stand tokeb by the Williamsport Conten tion, The Convention of lust year, which assembled at Pittsburg, wont beyond its jurisdiction, and trans cended its powers—it misrepresented (he democracy of (ho Slate on (hat subject at least, to say nothing of others. The wound is now healed. The honor of Pennsylvania is again untarnished. ' She stands forth a worthy member of.the Old Thirteen.

It will be 'recollected that Mr. Bradbury, early , In the session,'offered a res elution calling upon Gen. Taylor'and his cabinet officersto elate the cause of complaint against Ihe Domocratio office-holders wholiad been re moved by. the “ no-party administration. 1 ’ When we take into consideration that Gen. Taylor, both before and after his election, pledged him self that he would remove no man from office ex cept for dishonesty or incapacity,.the resolution of Mr. Bradbury was not only, proper, but just. Every man removed from office by Gen. Taylor, was, according ( to the professions ho had made, either “dishonest*** or,. 44 inoompetenU” Mr; Bradbury wanted to know in what way these removed officers had, been dishonest'and incapa ble, and it was in defence of his resolution, and in reply to Senator Smith, that he made the speech of which we apeak. This apeech con tains a number of valuable facts; showing up the beauties and sincerity of “ no-parlyism.” From it we are put in possession of the following facts. We have room for only a brief contrast between the acts of a party President and the practice of a professed 41 no*party” chief magistrate. The Galphtniles, let it be remembered, seek to justify the proscriptive acta of the Regenhy by a reference to the *» ruthless, and horrible proscrip tion. 1 * of Whigs by 44 Old Hickory, 11 whose cruel barbarity is assailed most Unmercifully. Gen. Jackson commenced the universal sweep of Whigs from office—-the bloody work was contin ued by Van Buren—and Old Zack is only “equal izingl* the offices, and giving places..to the .Whig party.-who had .been .entirely ostracised! A short statement will show the absurdity and falsity of the charge. During the Ural three years of Gen. Jackson's administration there were only r ortj) removals made for cause of without cause. What has General Taylor done ? Truman Smith admits that this 44 no-party ** administration of Zachary Washington has removed, in tho short apace of one year, In one single department of the government, three thousand four hundred and sixt while tho whole amount of removals, under Gen. Jackson, during eight years of his “relentless proscription, 1 * was only 491. Again, when Gen. Jackson came into office, there were in the differ ent departments at Washington, only 66 Demo cratic Clerks and 240 Federalists, orWhigs as they now call themselves. On the 4th of March, 1841, when Harrison came in, and after the sweeping proscription of Jackson and Yan,Buren, of which the Whigs complain, there were in those same Departments, 234 Democrats and 276 Whigs—the latter parly still retaining the major ityjfcfter twelve years of Democratic.ostracism. The salaries of the Democratic Clerks In all the departments in Washington nmounted 10523 G 715 while those of the persecuted Whigs reached $331,338. In May ensuing, less than, three months after Gen._ Harrison’s intjugomtion, this excess of Whig salaries These are some of the facts of the case, exposed in Mr, Bradbury’s speech, and (as the Baltimore Argus says,) 44 we might go on to show the utter falsity of the charges, made against the Demo* crude administrations, and the tinc&&d for, bitter and r> lentless proscription of the present incum bents and, incundterers of the high posts of the nation. Wo have thought it hat simple justice to place these facts in the hand&of our friends that they might be prepared to charges of WhTg demagogues, mid place .the character of (he champions of democracy on their true and lofty position.** TIIB-IIBRALD AND JtH, CLAY. As we anticipated, our neighbor of the Herald is out in full cry aghinst Hiwnr Clav. In (hat paper of last week is an article of near a column in length, which handles Mr. 0. in rather rough style. Mr; Clay’s present position is pronounced by the Herald ’• intolerant, supercilious and over bearing in the highest degree.” And what has Henry Clay done—what offence has he commit ted—that lie should be so bitterly reviled by the editors of his own ptfrfyl Why is H that hqis thus assailed 1* Simply because he cannot and will not sanction andsupport (he so-callecf Pres ident’s plan for adjusting\lhe slavery quesrioa! Because his good sense will not permit liiffi to abandon the Compromise Report and favor tho nonsensical plan submitted by the President, he is denounced-and' ridiculed by Federal scribblers, who are as ignorant of the difficulties Which now threaten us, a's is llio. President himself. “ Poor Harry Clay !”—ho whose clarion voice lias so often roused to action the men of his party | —whose mighty influence as leader of the Feder-| al forces, has been so often Tell apd acknowl edged—who was ever ready at a moment's warn- Ing, to grapple with hie political opponents, in defence of Federal principles—the great states man and'acknowledged head of Federalism—this Is the man who Is now subjected' to the assaults of the editors of his own parly. This is the man against whom the minlone of the present corrupt cabal at Washington are directed to wage war. What ingratitude! Gen. Taylor—a Rian who! (never spent one coni, for the party to which he now belongs—who never even acknowledged himself a u Whig" until recently—for him to attempt to dictate to that' old veteran,- Henry Clay, U supremely ridiculous. As a political opponent'We'hate always ad mired MV. Clay, and' we jrealy fbel a disposition to defend him, now In his n!d age, against the foul attacks of the GalpMn administration. As a political man, Mf. Clay is a full blooded, out and-out Federalist, but hols nevertheless a great man, and therefore entitled to respect. IDs re cent course In the Senate has been that of a sin cere patriot; end it is because of his course that he is now attacked by raer> in the ihtprest of the robber administration. These attacks will not injure Mr; Olay nor will they have the effect to drive him from his position* He will favor the Compromise Bill, and he will oppose the so called President’s plan, the abuse of understrap pers to the contrary notwithstanding. “Thi Suutiiihh Piiaaa.”—This la Id be the lllle of the new Southern paper about to be Blurted' at Washington, and which la to be devoted to •■a defence of Southenr'rlghla and'institutions."

From the minors afloat, and .the mcio,' and appliances; which it was notorious were Used (here by a certain set of unprincipled,men, U;,, is a result in the last degree gratifying, end wo wj[| confess unexpected. Mr. Morrison was a member of last House of Representatives, and voted with r O . markable correctness. All accounts concur in tea. resenting him as a most excellent and worthy man and one whom the Democracy can support without shame or four. . The Representatives of this cornu, in the last Legislature, speak of him with enihujf. dam. ; Our early choice was for Nimrod Strickland, be. bause.we knew, him to boa man without guile, afaoi B reproach, and untainted .by (ho weakness which yields to temptation. His prominent nnd dclermin. bd hostility to all pablie wrong, however, invited and fixed upon .him, the hostility of all that was rotten and corrupt in the State, and his nomination has, in chnsctjuence, been defeated. By the proceeding! of the Convention, however, it will be seen, that ho to. ceived a most respectable 1 vole, end that it was hit friends going for Morrison that nominated the Intfsi. The Democracy of this county may rest assured that they would have yielded their support (o no rmn for a nomination unless of the same stump of Stuck land. This is an additional guarantee of the intrg< rity of .the gcnllemsn nominaicd.
