“OUR Ft.M3 IB THERE l’»
We place at our mast-head the names of the
candidates selected by tho Baltimore Convention
for President and .Vice President of the United
States, Yix—for President, Franklin Pieces, of
New Hampshire; for Vice President, William R.
Kino, of Alabama. In common with all with
whom vye have conversed, we feel convinced, that
with ttys ticket, our success is certain. To use a
homely oppression, we “ feel it in our bones** that
we Cannot be defeated.
Provides,to the assembling of the Convention
we confess, we fiad our fears, but they have now
vanished, as the mist before the warm rays of (he

knows ill-feeling was rife in Pennsylvania,) all
jealodsiqs are now forgotten. The nominations of
Fierce and Kino have placed all on an equality,
and the Buchanan men and the Cass men will now
enter the contest, and emulate each other in their
zeal for our candidates. Wi are now united, and

We announce the result of the late; National
Democratic “invention with,, a full heart and d
roost abiding gratitude. The clouds which teemed
gathering in the political horizon, portending a
tempest that could \nly be stayed by a want of
objects on which to wraak its vengeance, have en
tirely vanished—and now we can bee our way
clear. The Jordan is crossed—the Rubicon is
passed, and a glorious VICTORY for the Democ
racy of Pennsylvania and the nation, is note
CERTAIN. - '■
The Convention has adjourned sine die t and
those who composed it have arrived , at; or aro re
turning to their homes, but that intelligent body
bas left behind it, and (akon with It, the feelings
that are alone calculated to heal and to save! , It
has spoken to (ho people fo a voice of conciliation
not only, but In a voice of thunder-speaking con
fidence. We feel proud, therefore, as we ought to
feel, that such is the fact, and that the success of
the Democracy of the Union next fall, is not only
sure, but a matter of “ joyful certainty/*
The Convention did a great deal—and it will be
gratifying to the great Demooratio party of Penn
sylvania to know, (hat what it did do, was, em
phatically, all good. There was nothing yielded
—no shrinking—no temporizing. Our great
principles were reasserted, and re-confirmed, and
the whole proceedings of tbo Convention were of a
highly interesting character, and will long be re
membered with pleasure by all who witnessed
them. Every portion of the people were there
ruUv.reDiesented—the farther, the mechanic the la
borer, the merchant, andnrre man of deep legal
and classical learning, were theie. From the
mountain and from the moor, from (he city and
from the bamlot, from the hill-top and from the
plain, from tho Atlantic to the Pacific, the dele
gates came together, at the bidding of their coun
try, to deliberate and determine upon the best and
wisest measures for the advancement of the gener
al good. The farmer from tho plough-share—tho
merchant from tho counting-room—tho mechanic
from the work-shop—and tho man of legal knowl
edge from tho halls of our several institutions—
all, ALL were there, to mingle their honest tren
timents and sound judgements in one great cur
rent of popular opinion, whose tide no barrier
can stay, and whoso virtuous strength no power
can overthrow. The result of their labors is
known.
With PIERCE and KING ns our standard
bearers, we can bid defiance to our Federal oppo
nents. LaCl Ilium nominate who they- plo«*« oo
candidates fur the Presidency and Vice Presiden
cy their fato is sealed. Malico, with her poisoned
tongue, cannot injure our noble candidates in the
estimation of the people. In the councils of the
nation, and on tho bloody field of battle they have
both served the people and the country faithfully
and well. Never have they proved faithless to the
. trusts confided to them, but upon every occasion
have they exerted all their influence to advance
' the prosperity of our country, and secure the hap
piness of the people. With such men we cannot
but coNQUon— with such principles Involved, VIC
TORY is certain—justice being the precursor of
’ success. When united we never can be van
quished, and we aro happy to say (hat in this
county, (*' Old Mother Cumberland,”) and we feel
sure we can also spoak for the State at largo,
the parly will unite* as one man, and speak as
with one voice, for PIERCE and KING. Mark
ill—Pennsylvania is good for 15 or 20,000
Democratic majority.
OUR CANDIDATE,
OBN. FRANKLIN PIERCE.
For the purpose of immediate uso and general ref
eieoco.saya tho Washington Union, wo place before
(he public the following condensed sketch of iho life
snd services of the distinguished citizen whom (he
Democratic National Convention have selected as
their candidate for the presidency.
Franklin Pierce ia a native of the Slate of Now
Hampshire, flo was born at Hillsborough, in the
year 1804; received bis classical education at Bow.
doiu College, and subvvqncsitly studied Iho profession
of (bo law with Judge Gould, at Litchfield, in Con.
oecticut. Returning to his early homo as soon as he
had finished hit legal course, ho was at once admit
ted to tho bar, and speedily acquired a lucrative
practice. In the following year ho was elected to
the legislature, of which body, after serving as a
member with great efficiency for one or two sessions,
lie was chosen Speaker, which important, post ho
filled with marked ability. Having, by his admirable
capacity and sterling political integrity, acquired the
entire confidence of the democracy, ho was, in (he
year 1633, elected a member of the House of Repre
sentatives of the United States, and, otter four year's
service in that body, chosen senator by the legislature
of New Hampshire. Asa senator lie served five
years, and, resigning hia position before the expiration
of hit term, retired again to private life. During hia
whole congressional career he was distinguished by
his readiness in debate, bis close attention lo busi
ness, his firm and constant support of democratic
measures and principles, and his uniform political
consistency.
Upon bis retirement from (he Senate ho resumed
This practice ol the bar, which, with ono brief inter*
val, ho has ever sinco continued, and of which in
his native Stale he is admitted)/ the loader. Tho
offices of governor of tho State of Now Hampshire
and senator of the United Slates, as successive]/ ten
dored to him, he declined; and when President Polk,
who high)/ appreciated his worth, offered him (he
post of Altorno/ General of (ho United Slatea and a
•eat in his cabinet, ho also declined to assume lliajl
elevated position, complimentary as the overture was
and strong)/ as it appealed to his professional pride.
Upon (ho commencement of (ho Mexican war,
however, his patriotism prompted him to bo among
Ihs first to offer his services to the country. Ho
volnnleored as a private soldier ; but President Polk,
confident in his fitness to load as well os in his ardor
to servo, soot him, unsolicited, first the commission
of a colonel, ond then that of a brigadier general in
(he ortnv of (ho United Stales. In (his now and
untried position his intelligence and gallantry won
for him tho high commendations of tho Commander
in-chief, and his manly and soldier like, but generous
and urbane deportment, tho respect and oflbclion of
his subordinates and tho whole rank and file of the
army.
On his return from Mexico ho again declined
repeatedly proffered political honors, and upon
tho occasion of his unanimous nomination by tho
Democratic Slalo Convention as (heir first choice
for President of tho United Slates, ho expressed very
decidedly his.wish that his name might not bo agg.
gestod for that office. Tho General Convention of
the democracy of tho Union have, however, econ fit
to reverse that decision, and wo doubt not that (lie
parly throughout the country will unanimously ratify
their choice.

during tho campaign, lake occasion to speak of Mr.
Kino more at length. 'Wo know bis whole history
and shall tako pleasure in making hie life and pub*
Ho acts familiar to our readers. In the moan time
wo copy tbo following editorial article from our pa*
per of 1839:
»IwO»««oOiiitIwi OoieltD-Jubo S 3, 1833
THE VICE PRESIDENCY*
There is ono characteristic principle which has
always boon the bond of safely to (ho Democratic
party, am) has contributed moro to crown its con
secutive efforts with brilliant succoa, than almost
any portion of its creed. Wo allude to the manner
in which oil nominations for office aro discussed—
the spirit of forboaranco and self-denial in which
the seporato claims of candidates are put forth—to
the willingness, at aH limes, to submit to the doclored
and Iniclligibio will of tho majority. Instead of the
ambitious wrangling which has aided federalism to
look for overthrow in place of conquest,,lt has boon
a first, and reigning, and settled principle with tho
democracy, to select that man who shall beat pro
mote the interests of the common country, and bo
most congenial to (ho wishes of tho majority.
Such is tho evident temper in which tho question
of tho Vico Presidency has been taken up. While
it continues to animate those who lake an interest
in tho mailer—and it would be singluar if it did nut
—we have no fears, however slight, about the rcsultr
1 ho narno of William R. Kino, of Alabama, and
of John FoasTTit, of Georgia, have been apycrally
recommended. They are both good men—
Democrats—both possessed of great minds : and a
enoleo between two such characters TsnofVasUy (6
make.- If tbo nomination of ono, howcTor vlf'calcu
lated to promote tbo welfare of tho parly more titan
that of the other, as Democrats wo should not hesi
talc. It is, therefore, with this consideration, that
wo have nailed tho name of WILLIAM R. KING
loour mast-head. Wo bclicvo him to bo the strong
man ; wc believe him to bo tho man who can moto
effectually unite tho clashing elements of Southern
interests upon tho Democratic cause.
1 Mr. Kino hails from a Democratic Sluts. 110 is
i also a native of North Carolina, and is tho only man
who can secure the doctoral vole of that Slate.—
Ho is a statesman of oxlraordinury popularity in tho
’ South, and is there regarded as ono of its noblest
• and most efficient champions, ills public life is tho
f history of Ins political virtues. Ho never wondered
- between right and wrong. Ho nevor hesitated about
selecting the true side of any groat question. As the
friend of Andrew Jackson, ho is known every where.
A Senator for a number of years, ho has always de
clined office to serve his Stale in that great branch
of tho national councils.
Bui, in naming William R. Kino as our prefer
ence, we dp not avow uny disclinution to support any
other gentleman whom tho N a l ion a 1 Convention may
recommend. No ! wo shall devoto our energies to tho
gicguoiuot »p«;p«w^.^; U a-nnmingted..hvi|i L a|. body.
We have only thought it proper thus oany, to' aVOW
our own opinion on an important question.
“ The Towns Hickory of (be Granite Hills.”
The nomination of Pierce is a glorious termina
tion of tho labors of the Baltimore Convention.
There is not the man throughout the Union who
possesses more of the spirit and character of An
drew Jackson than Franklin Pierce, of the noble
old Granite Slate. His name is a lower of strength.
His nomination is equivalent to success.
With Young Hickorv of ms Granite Hills
for tho standard-bearer, and the old Jacksonian
motto of RETRENCHMENT AND REDUCTION Of THE
POWER AND PATRONAGE or THE FEDERAL GOVERN.
ment inscribed upon it, another glorious Jackson
victory awaits us.
True Democratic Responses.
Wo copy with high gratification from lha Bahi.
( extra ) the following paeaago from tho re
port of-tho proceeding, of tho convention subsequent
to the nomination ofGoncral Pierce, and pending tho
ballot for tho vico presidency :
During a pause in taking of the ballot, the follow
ing despatches were read to (lie convention :
From STEPHEN A DOUGLASS: “Icoogralulito
the Democratic party upon tho nomination; and
Illinois will give FRANKLIN PIERCE a larger
majority than any other Stale in the Unton.”
from General CASS: “A good nomination, that
uf General PIERCE. 1 shall support it heartily."
From General HOUSTON : “ An excellent notni.
nation; it will unite the whole democracy."
From tho democrats of Washington : “ Nino
cheers for Franklin Pierce."
Wo cannot doqbl that, could the other candidates
and oilier democratic associations havo been hoard
in time, they would ati of them have sent similar
messages of congratulation and confidence.

impair Its efficacy, or weahen its guarantees, should
bo discountenanced and resisted by every well-wisher
of the republic. . y. ,
This was received within outburst of enthusiasm,

our beloved that the constitutional rights of

mittee. as provided by tho resolution adopted this
morning, to whom shall bo referred all resolutions in
relation to the Creed or Platform of the Democratic
party.
Mr. Degro, of Mew York, offered tbo following
resolution:
Resolved, That in oar opinion the public domain
belongs to tho people of the United States, and that
Congress has power to dispose of it fur tho benefit of
the people, and we therefore bclicvo (hat it would bo
conducive to (ho common welfare of tho people and
of the government, to give limited portions to every
actual settler, to be inalienably enjoyed.
This was referred to the Committee on resolutions,
without debate, in accordance with the resolution
Authorising (he appointment of a committee on tho
Democratic creed of platform.
Mr. Nabers, to tost tho sense of (ho Convention,
offered (ho following: a
Retolved , That this Convention wilt not go into a
