culled to order at ten o'clock by Mr.

Committee.
Mr. Mtitehler laid : .
Gentlemen or ran Convention:
The Itii-t Democratic Convention
which amemblod hero gave to the
candidutet it nominated llio privilege
of naming tlio chairmitn of the. Stale
Committee. Iiy their partiality, and
without any solicitation on my part, I
was chosen to perforin the duties of
that rconniolo poNition. A violent
partisan registry law, onactod for the
avowed purpose ol depriving us of
oiinil riyhls at tlio polls, enabled our
opponents to deny lo us the IVuils of
a victory which oihcrwiso would have
been fairly antl honestly won.
In relinquishing that position I do
sire to tender my acknowledgement
to the Democracy of tho Stale lor the
earnest support given me in my efforts
for success.
You have assmnhled hero to-day to
nominate tho candidates of tho Demo
cratic party for tho coming campaign,
and to rciteralo tho devotion of that
party to the principles taught by pa
triots and statesmen who believed
that the Stulos possess powers not
deleirated to the jrencrul govern
ment ana that llio military snuuiti tie
stihordinutn to tho civil authorities.
Tho issues that will be presented in
tho coniintr canvass nro not of the
past ; they belong to tho present, and
aro of vital importance to tho people.
While wo recognize the binding powor
of tho rccont amendments to tho Con
stitulion, and only object to tho un
wArranlcil excrciso of fedcrul power
hy which those amendments wero
forced upon tho Slates, we still claim
for? tho principlo of Stitto sovereignty
an cntluii'ig vitality-, and will not
hcsilato to assert our firm and un
yielding opposition to any invasion of
this Commonwealth, oy lotiorai iroops
al tho bidding of a militnry dictator
to interfere with U citizens in tho
freo oxcrciso of ihe elective franchise.
Tho people, oppressed by taxation,
look to tho Democracy to relieve
them to rebuko what has been amiss
in legislation birth Sluto and federal,
to restoro concord and prosperity, and
to bring about restoration of consti
tutional rule in all tho States. The
principles of tho Democratic party
have given to tho country n glorious
pat and, if presented in their vigor
and purity, must and will give lo it
an equally glorious future.

GENTt.CMEN OF TnE CONVENTION ! I
havo the honor to present to you tho
permanent chairman of the conven
tion, the Hon. William Hopkins.
Mr. Hopkins, on taking tho chair,
addressed the convention as follows :
Gentlemen of the Convention : I
trust you will no, doubt my sincerity
when I say that I feel profoundly
grateful for the honor conl'ered upon
me hy selecting ine lo presido over the
deliberations of this convention.
1 feel that I am not ublo to make
any extended remarks on this occa
sion, because I havo boon the greater
part ot this day confined to my bud
with indisposition. Since I came into
this hall 1 have been reflecting u on
tho scenes of tho past, and among iho
moil notable of them was tlio lime
when the same parly lo whom we
wero then opposed and aro still op
posed, attempted then as now to place
men in power and keep thorn there
who bad not been lairly elected by
tho honest masses ot tho pcnplo. 1 re
member that then as now the allcmpt
was mado by tlio uso of thu same
means tho bayonet. 1 he same char
acteristics distinguish tho Itadical
party of to day and the same infamous
means are resorted to in ortler to re
instate and keep in power, a President
ot the I luted Mates, who was elected
by appeals to tho busest passions ol
the people, and that mini to-day is tho
most absoluto dictator on tho face of
God's loot stool.
Ho has been clothed with dictatorial
powers by a prolligalo Congress, who
iiave passed laws to suborn tho liber
ties of tho peoplo and transform our
Picpuhliftin form of government into
a military despotism. Under these
circumstances it behooves us to see
well to it that thodelihcraltons of this
convention shall bo of such a charac
ter that we can go to llio peoplo with
confidence of success.
1 shull conclude in tho hopo that
tho candidates put in nomination to
day will bo men of such high charac
ter for qualifications, integrity and
fitness (or the positions of Auditor
General and Surveyor General, and 1
feul that such will bo tho case Thank
ing you again, gentlemen, for your
generous coiifldciK-0, it remains but
for mo lo antioui co that tho conven
tion is now reatly to proceed with
such business as it may havo to trans
act.

Mr. Cussiday, chairman of llio com
mittco on resolulions, mado the fol
lowing report :
rYesestd, That tb. Pemooratie party is in faror
of reviling and amending the Constitution of the
maie ami, recognising tlie right or the people to
be fully heard oo a sulileot su vital to their inter
ests, they do hereby endorse the course of the
llcmoeratlo members of the Lcgislslure in favor ol
submitting nt the next general election the ques
tion whether or not a State Convention should be
ealled for that purpose.
rrosoteed, l hat the persistent refusal or the
Republican party in tho Leui.luture to eunsent to
a proper modincation of those provisiona of the
registry aot relating lo me oily ol rnilaileiimia Iiy
which at least one-half of the electors of that eity
are utteily deprived of representation in the cleo
tlon boards and fraudulent election returns, forg
ery and murder enoouraged, must be condemned
by every just man and ought tu be rebuked by tbo
ballot ol every upright oititen.
Jtrtolrttl. That the action of the Pemooratie uia
jorily ol the bVaal. of Pennsylvania upon the ap
pnrlionmeot tnll anil the I'bilailelptua registry
law meets utiqualtHed endorsement and ought
to receire Im approbation uf evory eitisen who
values lair representation and pare elections,
yfesoeed, 1 bat the foroe and bayonet bills ro-
ently enacted br Congress are gross attacks opoo
th. reserved rights of the Klatca. destructive of
the elemental principles of eivil liberty, intolera
ble to a free people, centralizing in tendency and
should he forthwith rrtiealcd.
Ittaahtil, That the language of 8rnator Carl
Rchuri in nte ht Louis speech, wherein ne aays
"1 eouaider it one of Ihe most pressing needs ol
our devs that we should return to the sount prac
tice of Constitutional Uovernraent. The safeguard
of our common rights and Itbertirs contained In
tlie Constitution are too sacred and ralualdeaboon
to be permanently jeopardised In providing for a
pa.sing emergency. It is time that the Auieil 'nn
people 'open their eyes to Ihe dangerous charac
ter of this tendency, and that ncllhera great nam.
nor an object appeuliug to our sympathies should
ne permuted to dt. guise It. As for me, 1 have
soen the working ol irresponsible power and per
aonal government in other countries, and 1 may
arlttro uiy constituents that while 1 am a eiliseu
of this Repuldle 1 shall rtru-gte to the last gn.p
against its introduction here," was but the utter
ance of well kuuwn nod frequently aunounoed
Pinineralic doctrine.
iMered, f hat the public debt is binding upon
the nation, aud must be paid; and that we are unal
terably opttused to any and all movements look
ing toward, repudiation, direct or indirect, but in
justice U the laboring and pro lueingclassesthe rate
oi interest tneroon should be reduced at tlie earn
est practicable date.
HetAvtd, That the Pmioecntie party is opposed
to Ibeeiiating ey.tnn of federal tnvatiun and
finance, ruinous as it Is io its elleots upon Ihe la
boring, pro lucing, milling and nianufueliiring in-
tere.ta of tlie peoplo, anl tbe fruitful source of
''hard times," personal indebtedness and individ
ual batikrnptoy.
Hfolrtd, That 1-jbor and capital have no Just
eauso of antagonism, that ne .leprecale slrile be
tween these two great forces and earnestly seek to
place the laborer and the capilall-l on such a plat
form as will enable both to amicably adjust their
dillerrnces, and we are unslternbly opposed to tbe
importation of a servile race for thu purpose ul
degrading the standard and lowering the position
of llis laboring men of the nation.
feeofred, That wo Treui-lllze tlie binding obliga
tion nl all the prorisions of the Colislilution of the
l'nited Stales as they now exist, and we drireenle
the discussion of issue, which have been sallied in
Ihe manner aud by tbe authority constitutionally

fesoeei, That we are for a government rigor
ously, frugal aad simple, applying all tbe poa.tl.lc
eauug of the public revrnue to tbe discharge of
the national d. Id and opposed lo multiplication
of officers and salarirs, merely to mske place fr
pertissns and for increasing by every device the

fesoteeif, Thst the continuance hy a Republican
Conpress of the inoonie tuv, when the sinte is at
lea.l of douldfvl eon.titulionslily. and tbe neces
sity therefore haa long since ocaacd to exist, is an
sxcrcise of a power oppressive to the people, and
a gto.s violation of their rights and Internals.

that wo herewith request our repn sentalives in

of returning Ins sincere thanks to the

upon Itim, antl he was now reatly to
go to work and achieve a victory at

bo the result in October next.
General M'Cundloss said ho joined
his comrado, Capt. Conpor, with all
his heart in returning his sicccro and
heartfelt thanks lr the honor the

both, by nitiking them the standard
bearers of the great Democratic party
in this commonwealth during tho cam
paign jusl iniiugtiraled a contest for
the supremacy of tho great parly to

true that Captain Cooper and himself
hud gone through canipaignt on quite
another field of wailtire, where l hey
had poured out their blood like water
in defense of tho supremacy of the
laws and constitution of their com
mon country, but even in those try
ing limes those campaigns were not
us importunt, or so vitul lo tho liber

both his colleague, Captain Cooper,
and himself woro here, ugainst whoso

I w ill go to hell." After eyeing the
General for several moments, the old
"Confed" said: "General Grant, roo

for General lieauicgard is thero ; you .
