PROCEEDINGS OP THE SENATORIAL CON-
FEUEES.
In our fort wo published the proceedings of the
meeting of Senatorial Conferees, ns prepared and
furnished by the conferees from this county. Wo
now publish the proceedings as furnished by tho
Perry Conferees. It will be recollected, that in the
proceedings published last week, it was stated that
“Mr* John B.Topley presented a letter from Mr.
Cooper, authorizing him to act as a conferee in the
•toad of Mr. C." If such a letter was read author,
ixing Topley to act as a conferee, it was a roitoEßV,
prepared for the occasion. Mr. Cooper never gave
a'letter of appointment to Topley. lie handed
Topley a letter—a copy of which will be found in
tho proceedings of tho Conferees, as published in
another column, and which was addressed to his
colleagues, Messrs. Streep and White,, in which
Mr. Cooper expressly Says, that if Mr. Baity will
give his written approval of Toplcy’s appointment,
and Messrs. Stroup ond While agreed to it, ho had
no objections. Mr. Cooper in his letter,
Ihave nothing to toy or do in it—upon von (Messrs.
Stroop and White,) retlt the retpontihilUy," This
was appointing Topley with a vengeance, purlieu
larly as both Stroop ond While, the only persona
-.who had a right (a name the substitute, resisted to
the lnsl hli Impudent attempt to smuggle himself
' Into the conference.
' Mr.’ Cooper’s letter, therefore, instead of giving
authority to Topley. io act at a conferee, was more
like a caution to Slroop and White to have nothing
to.do] with him. Mr. Cooper's letter w«s carefully
worded, arid' can bear but one construction. But,
the.worst feature in this business is the refusal of
the conferee* from this county to let Messrs Stroop
aod Whito even see Mr. Cooper'* letter ! It waa
; addressed.to them by Mr. Cooper, we learn,
VTis a- tealed Utter, but yet it was handed over (a
Mr. Boab, of (his county, who, after rending i(, and
finding jl did: not suit the purposes of the Cumber,

JOSEPH BAILY, Esq., of Perry Co.
In our lastwc expressed tliohopo that'the diffi*
cullies existing in regard to the question of Senator
in tilts, district might be spepdily .compromised, and
thafgood feeling and harmonymight bo restored.
But in this hope wo imvo been; disappointed. Wo
therefore place at our mast-head liie name of that
inflexible Democrat and hpnestman, Joseph.Baii.t,
as tlic Democratic candidate for Senator fur this
district. .Mr.. Daily, although he did not receive the
votes of the conferees from this county, Is neverthe
less regarded us the rcgultr nominee, and will be
supported as, such. Ho secured the nomination of
Perry, and the conferees of (hat county were In
structed, by a unanimous vote to support him from
first to last. Cumberland county ctmceeded the
Senator to Perry, and had a resolution been offered
in our ,County Convention, instructing our Senato
rial Conferees to support the man recommended, by
Perry, U would have passed by nearly a unanimous
vote. Of (his there is not a particle of doubt;
Within.tho last few days we have conversed with
a number of the gonilemun who .composed our late
County Convention, and (p a-than they disapprove
of the course of our Conferees, and say that In the
County Convention there was no disposition.what
ever to oppose the wishes of Perry county. This
being tho .fact, wo maintain that Joseph Daii-t is
not only the nominee of Perry, but of this county
also, tho course of our Conferees to tho contrary
■ notwithstanding. Tho power that created our con
ferees is higher, wo should say, than the conferees
themselves.
. From tho expression of opinion in (his. cotinly,
we fed salisficd.ibat Mr. Bally will receive (he very
near unanimous support of the democracy.' • In
Perry county he will have on overwhelming , majori
ty, and we therefore look upon Ills olccllon as cor-1
lain. ' . ' ■
Of Mr. UAinr’. political, and private character,
wo shall offer but a few words, as hr* nomination by
(hc.nobfo Democracy of llulo Perry, is ft foil en
dorsement of his worth. ' Mr. Daily has always
been-ft straightforward, enthusiastic Democrat.—
Ills qualifications for (ho olHco of Senator arc of the
highest order, and his integrity aso man litis never
been questioned. He is identified with no faction
or clique, and is a Democrat from princip’o.—
WHcfcvor ha is known ho is popular, and in Perry
county, although he is distinguished lor tho honest
sincerity with which he advocates Democratic men
and measures, ho Is nevertheless respected and be
loved by men of all parties. lie is a man In the
prime of life, and understands, to an eminent degree
the wants and wishes of the people. Doing on in
dustrious farmer himself, he is tho especial friend of
the great agricultural interest.
Mr. Daily commenced the world a poor boy,
without friends or relations to lend him a helping
hand. He was born in Chester county, and during
his boyhood served on apprenticeship to the halting
business. Alter serving a term of five years at his
trade ho commenced business for himself, which he
afterwords abandoned, and turned his attontion to
farming.. His honesty and storting worth, soon at
traded the attention of his political friends, who
nominated him for Assembly. Ho was elected by a
handsome majority, and was, the highest man on (he
ticket. The succeeding foil (fie Democrats .of Chos.
ler and Delaware, although in a hopeless minority,
nominated him as their candidate for State Senator
and he was oguln elected by a sweeping majority.
These fads are evidence of .ins popularity* Those
whoknowlilm best arc Ins most enthusiastic ond. ad.
mtrers. Such a mar. is Joseph Daily, tho Democratic
candidate for Scnator of this district. Democrats,
ns you value the' - principles, of democracy,' rally to his
support.witli energy and zeal. lie is worthy ;your

Tito Penntyltanian, in speaking of (he difllculUqs
lit tho Democratic ranks of this Senatorial district,
says that the hand of Simon. Cameron Is at the hot*
tom of tho whole dispute, and warns the Democrats
of tho district to “bo on the alert if they would de

(Jen. Cameron has caused the whole difficulty, ond

The Democrats of Cumberland and Perry, who, in
cfleet any personal object, or advance any particular
interest, would sacrifice the party in this way should
Iho held up‘to the scorn and contempt of all honora
ble and high minded Democrats In tho Slate. From our
knowledge of Mr. Biily.ws cannot believe that lie
would do anything to jeopard the interest* of the De

tho success of tho parly as mupli at heart. Accor
ding to our understanding of (his mutter Mr. Daily
Wna the almost unanimous choice of Furry county,
and Perry county; was entitled tn say who should

We trust that this dlitirulty may bo settled to
the satisfaction of: (he gallant democracy of Perry,
and that we may be saved from having a whig

The object of the meeting was stated by George

The committee reported,(he following resolutions:
IVArrras/Die Democratic Convention of Cumber
land county node no nomination for Senator, but
conceding (he election of the candidate to the Demo
crats of Perry county, merely appointed conferees Ip
express. their concurrence |n our choice, wo regard
the. nomination made by the Democratic Conven
tion of this Oonnly as decisive of the candidate who
was.entitled to. the nomination by fho conferees of
(ho district. The delegates to our County Conven
tion Were elected with a view to the nomination of
Senator. The question was discussed at ail our del*
cgulo elections, five candidates were before the pco
pie, and were presented to the Convention,.when bn
tlio sixth ballot Joseph Bailey was (airly and honest
ly nominated, and the Scnalnrinl Conferees were in
structed to support him. Dot the Conferees trom
Cumberland cdUnly thought propcr.in an* unreason*
able manner to withoid their consent to title nomina
tion, contrary,, ns wo believe, to the wishes of a
majority of the party, in their own county. 'They
attempted to perpetrate a gross fraud on tlio Duino*
crutic parly, hy manufacturing a Conferee from
Perry county, in (ho person of John, B.Toplay, who
was admitted to (heir conference without ttic shadow
of right, in the roam of Junes B. Cooper, who was
prevented by sickness from attending. Mr. Dailey
was then duly nominated by the conferees from
1 Perry county, that nomination is backed ,by the
nomination of our County Convention nndlt is hear
tily responded to by the Democracy of the District.
Therefore.
, Ufiolctd, That thq wishes of the Democracy of
Perry end Cumberland counties oro not to bo de
feated by James F. Lamberton, James K, Both,or
even hy Julin Ml Woodburn. That Joseph Bailey Is
(he Democratic candidate for Senator, nml us such
is. entitled to (ho support of. the Democratic party
of this district.
Jtesolced, Thot wo regard iho cbnduct of the con*
forces from Cumber! iiid county |ua presumptuous,
insolent, and dictatorial, and (help nomination of A.

look on him as we do,on all nur political opponents,
