Mr. Bailey, of Allegheny, named

Mr. Bigler responded: I desire to

Mr. Randall declined tho offloe and

a ine mooting as ioiiows :
Gentlemen of the Convention : I thank
you for tbe honor you have conferred
J upon mt) of occupying tht position of
U A MS - ,r?d.i i a..O
. . I V' 'M l
temporary chairman over this assmbly
of Democrats, roprcsonting the Democ
racy of the great State of Pennsylvania.
Fellow Democrats, wo have met here
under favorable ciroumstanoos. I am
happy to seo such a large representa
tion not only every district is repre
sented fully but the poople of the State
are horo and tbo bone and sinew of
tho country aro bore to look upon our
deliberations. I am happy to toe snob,
a feeling of harmony nnd spirit; that
we snouid nave in order that we may
gain what we have been and are striv
ing for success, In our nicotine to
gether in a sooial way before we as
semble tbe good fooling shall continue
to Do tuo provailing elomont through
out (be deliberations ol tbit convent
tion.
"Thorn ia a tirla in the affairs of men
which taken at tbe turn leadt on to
fortune." The ticket of tho Republi
can party ia loaded down with men
woo are eondemnd by the most relia
ble mon of their own party. Fellow
citiKona, in Democratic times we never
had an executive, from the days of
Shunk, Packer or friond Biglor, to tbe
present, who would tako a pamphlet
of tho sizo of a monthly rouiraEiiie to
explain tho corruptions of hit own
party.
in tbe legislative brunch of the gov-
ornmont, in Democratlo . times, we
novor saw legislation controlled by
corrupt rings, and powers grantod to
giant corporations which will crush
out the interest of this commonwealth.
I hope thnt tho good old Democratic
times will again be restored. Wo
have a lurge ticket to nominate, and I
bono the spirit of harmony and unity
will prevail and that our whole action
will be such that tbo people will en
dorse it at tho polls. Thanking you
again for tbe honor conferred, I ask
for your kind consideration while I
discharge my duties.
Air. Alonaguan moved that tho rules
of the House of Representatives of
tins state be adopted to govorn the pro
ceedings of this convention. Agreed
to.
Mr. Randall offered tho following
resolution t
Jfesolveaf, That a committee of thirty-three mem
bers be made of the delegates from each Senatorial
district, to report permanent officers to tbe con
vention, and that a similar committee, similarly
constituted, be appointed to draft :eaotntionB, to
wnicb all resolutions shall be relarraa without de
bate or reading.
Mr. Carrlgan, of Philadnlphia I
have no objection to the resolution
save to tho last two words, and those
words aro "or reading." Now, air, I
think that this convention ought to
near tuo resolutions. Wo will not
know what resolutions are oflorod un
less we boar them read. I movo to
amend by striking out tbe two words
"or reading."
Mr. l4tmborton, ol l.uecrno I un
derstand a resolution in exactly thoso
words was oflorod in the last Domo-
cralio convention of this State, for tho
purposo and intention of facilitating
the busiuess. I have no doubt all
gentlemen from all purls of tbe Stato
aro hore with their views in writing.
I know there aro from my section.
Wo have got more business connected
with this convention than any other
convention that has ever assomblod in
this Stale. If wt undertake) to road
all the resolution of thin convention
we will not only bo in session to day,
but to-morrow and next day. I am
willing to trust the committeo 0 Dom
ocraU selected from tbe Senatorial
districts with any resolutions that may
be offered from any part of tho Stale.
Charles Carrigan, of Philadelphia
I agree with the gentloman entirely
as to the abilitios of the committee of
twenty-throo, but I say it is due to
the Democrats assembled here in tbo
convention, that any resolution offered
Bball be read, in order to know what
resolutions shall go to the committee.
Wo are entitled to know what resolu
tions are offered in this convention.
This is the sole reason that 1 offered
the amendment.
Gon. Coffrolh moved to strike out
the portion relating to the reading
of resolutions and insort that all
resolutions offered in this convention
upon the subject of tbo national plat-
torm, or in relorenco to tho nomina
tion of President or Vice-President,
bo referred to tbo committee on reso
lutions at the clerk's desk without do-
bato. This amendmont was accepted
and tho resolution as amended and
adopted road as follows :
if esofesot, That a committee of thirty-throe mem
bers be made of tho delegates from each Senatorial
distriot to report parmanont offioera to the ooni en
tion, and that a similar committee, similarily con
stituted, be appointed to draft resolutions, and
that all resolutions oO'ered in this convention upon
the subject of the National platform or in reference
to the nomination of President and Vice President
be referred to the oomntitleo on reeolulluue at Hie
olerk's desk withoutdebata.
Gon. Coffrolh, of Somerset, offuroil
tho following resolution :
fseotW, That the eommiUea of thirty.thres
members be made by tho delegates from each Sen
atorial district to nominate and report ft mrteen
delegates at large to the Constitutional Conven
tion, and ten names for dclegataa to the National
Convention.
Mr. Brundago, of Lusorne, movod
that the resolution be postponod until
odor the pormanont organization cf
this convontion, and alter the nomina
tions havo been made for Governor,
Auditor Goneinl and Supromo Judge.
General Coffrolh I havo no ob
jection to the postponement of thix
resolution, but 1 think that tho com
mitloo ought to bo appointed now, so
that thoy may select their reprosenla
tives, and then, after the nominations
have boon made, they may report tho
fourteen delegates.
Mr. Moore, of Allegtioiiy I socond
ed tho motion to postpone. I would
liko to say why 1 do so. It is not
with tho view of subsequently taking
up the resolution. 1 am opposed to
tho nomination ol men lor either ol
thoso two olllces by this convention lit
all. Thoro are mon scatlored over
this Commonwealth mon who will do
honor to any olllco. I boliovo, sir,
that this convention, without regard
to locsl quoslions, Might to be allowod
to oxoroiso its judgment In solocting
for that position tbe very best men in
this parly. I dosire, Air. Chairman,
to have the liborty, not of nominating
a man in my own locality,' but any
where in Pennsylvania) who can beet
do the work which thit time und this
hour most requires ut to do wisely. 1
REP
am not ready to eurrondor to any
parties, but seloct from any quartor,
and you have' tho liberty to nominate
on the floor in this convention tho
mon that in my judgment will furnish
tht best contrast to tho men that aro
opposed to us for that office.
C, D. Emory, of Columbia Let this
question be postponed until the con
vention is permanently organized,.. 1
Mr. Brawley moved to postpone un
til after the pormanont organisation
alono ,. ,: ,
This smondmont was acceptod and
the resolution as amended was agroed

Hon. Hoislor Clymer, on boing in
troduced to tho convonlion, spoko aa
follows :
Uentlemen of the Convention i I am
profoundly grateful to you for this, and
ron will boar me witness, unsolicited
honor. It adds another to the many
debts of trratitudo I owe to the Domo-
cracv of Pennsylvania. Gonllemon of
tho convontion, this is a solomn honr.
From nil parts of this Keystone State,
from our rivers, which flow to tho
gulf, from tho southern borders, from
the noiUiATfl lino, mon have come up
bore togothor to consult for tho deliv
erance of the land. For twolve years,
long, dreary, bitter years, too pcupiv
of tho wholo land havo suffered worso
than an Kgyptiun bondage. Good
men everywhere to-day aro consult-
. . .... .. - . i
ini? tornthor how there may oe a ao
livoranoe from tho gripe of military
nownr. from this oppression and
wrnno from anflbrtnff wbioh wo en
duro patiently, because we hope and
bnllnva i dot in thn Dnmoorsov and in
(lie good mon of the whole lanl Ibeie
can yet be deliveranoe from them.
Wo aro about to appeal to tho wholo
pooplo of the whole State and to tbe
wholo country. I will not say how
you are to appeal to thorn. It will
not bo my ploasuro for one momont to
indicate to this convontion what they
shall do. I can only ask that your
convontion shall bo conducted In tbe
interest of tho right, and ft will and
roust bear abundant fruits. ' I have
nothing to say to you with roferonce
to men, nothing with rcforonco to
him who should fill tbe high position
of Governor. It is my pleasure to
know every gentleman mentioned in
connection with that office and to
know thorn personally. Whoever he
may be he will be Immeasurably tho
peer of hit opponent, You are about
to begin your deliberations. You will
allow me most reverently to humbly
ask tbo divine blessing of Ilim with
out whom and without His guidance
the labors of men are in vain. 1 havo
but one raoro word to add, that you
will pardon any error I may make
and believe it to be an error of tho
bead and not of the heart. I am dono,
gentlemon, and am ready to recoive
any motions that tbo convention may
have to offer.
The roll was callod by tho secreta
ry, and tho following resolution was
offered :
Assorted, That a committee of thirty-three be
appointed, one from each Senatorial District, to
report the names of fourteen persons at largo as
delegates to the Coostitulionnl Conveution, and
tea persons aa delegates to the Democratic Nation
al t'ooveatioa.
The first part of the resolution was
adopted.
The proposition to send ten dolo
gates at lurge to the national conven
tion was opposed by Mr. Lamberton,
of Luzerno. He was not in favor of a
oo mm it tee choosing tho delegates to
the national convonlion." That power
should bo exorcised by tho convention
itself.
The consideration of the second
portion of the resolution was, on mo
tion, postponed indefinitely.
Mr. Carrigan dosirod to ask of tho
chairman of tho committee on resolu
tions what progress they wore mak
ing in their duties.
Governor Bigler, chairman, said
that the commitloe were not ready to

be roady to report before to-morrow
morning.

Hon. William M'Clolland, General
M'Calmont, Hon. E. L. Acker, John
R. Reading and M.'C. Trout.
Mr. Carrigan, of Philadelphia, nom
inated Hon. Hies tor Clymor. Mr.
Clymer romarkod I am not insensible
to tho kindness of my friond from
Philadelphia, but ho knows mo to well
to think thai his kindness would per
mit me to do anything thnt would
jeopardise our victory. I am at the
service ot the uemocrnts ot this stale
(rather as a private), I am ready and
willing to servo, and to follow its
marches, firmly believing and earnest
ly praying for a great and glorious
victory. Yon will allow mo to decido

the dclegatec from each Sonatorial district shall
elect one memboroi the state Lentral committee.

in connection with the candidates for Governor,

select the Chairman of the State Central Com
mittee Hon. William Biglor, Chairman of
tho Committeo on iiesolulions, said
that aftor looking at the present con
dition of tho party, and alter meditat
ing last night, tho committeo camo to
tho unnnimous approval of the reso
lutions which I shall present to you.
TUE PLATFORM.
l!r,lwtd. That the Democratic party, while in
the future as in the past, firmly upholding tba
Constitution of the United States, as the founda
tion and limitation of the powors of the General
Govesnmcnt, and the safe shield of the liberties
the pooplo, demands for the cilisen the largest
freedom consistent with public order, and for
every State the right of sell' government ; that to
uphold tba former and protect tne utter, toe Lo
niooraoy of Pennsylvania oan fiud no hottur plat
form upon which to stand than tho great leading
principles enunciated in the inaugural address ui
President Jefferson, and the farewell address of
the immortal Jackson ; upon these two great pa
pers wo plant ourselves, and enter the oootcst of
187J.
HtMtlrtd, That abused as the public sonfldenoc
has boon by a long period of olhuial mismanage
ment, waste, and fraud, this eonvontion invites
the oo-operetion of all eitisens of the Common
wealth in the earnost effort which the groat eon
stltuenoy It represents is abont to make to remove
from our State administration every taint of poli
tical corruption. The interest of every Pennsyl
vaniaa Is directly and vitally oonoeruod in the
eradieation of all unjust usages aod practices by
which Individual fortunes may be created at pub
lio cost, and the attempt to do this can bo made
certainly successful by the union of upright and
fair-minded mon of all parlies, and by sustaining
candidates of unqucstiouable abilities and nuspot-
tcd repotatloos.
MiW, That this Convention appeals to the
neonle of Pennsylvania for tbe support of the
oaodidate for Governor whom It baa placed in
nomiuation, because his election will secure at
onoe a correction of existing wrongs, and tbe per
manent future prosperity of the State It asks for
his support, because ho has boen nominated not to
subserve tho views or promote the interests of any
auction or featlon, but to meet the requirements of
an urgent and common ncod ; because Be tuny
rcprosotits, and In his life and oharaoLor fairly U
lustrates, the true spirit and principles of popular
government ; because he has been aa earnest, sin
cere, and efficient ornonenl of the fraudulent prac
tices and false dootnocs of Ihe party that haa held
uowur through many long years oi misrepresenta
tion and misrule ; hooause he stands pledged by
tho record ol Ins whole lile to administer nts omee.
if elected, for Hie benefit and only for the benefit
of the people : beoauso he can be trusted to secure
oarelul, economical, and responsible control of the
arenia ami omr-iaia and tne treasury oi tne com
monwealth ; because be oan be relied on ta with
staud unfounded and unjust deuianda to the preju
dice of public rlchts, to oppose wllb vigor tlie en
croachment of itowerful corporations, and energet-
loallv resist Hie irant to aggregaioa eapnai oi
privileges which could lie used to Injure, hamper
and liniedo tbe etturts el individuals in me van
ous cntorprtsQS and fields of lalior which the Slate
affords, and because his action In the past Is
rroof that his official infiuenoe will be need here
after to prevent the mischiefs of special legislation,
and to destrov the possibility oi procuring tna en
aetment of any slatnte by the use of money or
other eorrupt means.

to the Integrity, Impartiality, and pre-eminent
legal attainments wbioh have characterised the

African Diamond Fields Exdaust.
ed. The lalest intolligonce from the
diamond fiolds of South Africa is not
encouraging to those who entertain .
tho idea of looking fortune in that
region. . According to all accounts
thoro is but one place at which dig
gers now cover thoir expenses, and.
that is the Colosberg Eropjo, or Np.w
Rush, Tbore claims have reachad so
high a value that none but men of
some capital can afford to purchase
them, ret, notwithstanding their high
price, they do not yield noar to freely
at thoy did. The day for adventurers
without meant to make money in the
diamond diggings it past. Tbo pro
portion of those who have made largo
suras by digging diamonds, even whou,
the fiolds were at their host, is small ;,
and numberloss persons have toiled
under an Afiican sun, undergoing all
kinds of privations, from nearly the
time of tbe first discoveries, without
making moro-tlian a bare subsistence
Tbe area within which the goms are
found it limited, and it boing rapidly
exhausted. The entire area may be
completely worked out within a fow
months; tho production may continue
a year or two. Unless new fields aro '
found, of which thcro now appears to
be little prospect, or the reported gold
discoveries in South Africa amount to.
more than present indications war-,
rant, thoro is likely to be a gonoral
exodus of the diggers before many
months. '

The National Republican assorts that

provoked at the course of Greeley and
of the Tribune at one time during tho
war, that he resolved to issuo an ordor
suspending ita publication and taking
possossion of the offlco. Mr. Stanton
actually mado out the order and took
it to Mr. Lincoln to sign, but Mr.
Lincoln was in one of his amiablo and
forgiving moods, and handed it back
to Mr. Stanton, saying that ho would -give
Greoley another chance." .
This precedent is, perhaps, adduced
for the benefit of General Grant and
his Sccrotary of War, who, we doubt
not, would be very glad to "shut up"
Mr. Grocley and bis papor.
Turn up their Noses. Never be
fore in our national history was the
corruptions of Federal officials so glar
ing and universal. Twenty-five years
ago a defalcation of a thousand dollars
on tho part of an official, endorsed by
the political party to which ho be
longed, would have doomed that party
to dofeat. To-day, when Grant's of
