AFTETNpON SESSION Mr. Haldeman, Chairman of the Committee Resolutions, 'offered the following report: RESOLUTIONS Resolved, That the Democracy of Pennsylva nia have unabated and fall confidence in the pa triotism, integrity and capacity of James 13a chatiltn, tlie President of the United States, and desire to sustain his administration from a con viction of its principles with the best interests of our common country. Resolved, That the coMplele success achieved by • Juniesßuchanau in innicably 'Settling with Great Britain, in accordance with the American doctrine, the long mooted question of "the free dom of the seas," from the surveillance and an noyance of a maritime :poliee;ln quieting the civil broils of Kansas; in promptly and effectu ally suppressing an lit Med dissaffection and re bellion in Utah; in speedily terminating the In dian wars which threatened to desolate our Wes tern frontier ; and his resolute efforts to secure for American trade and travel safe and proper transit routes between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans; to maintain the influence and honor of the nation and to protect tho lives, business and property of citizens of the United. States in the anarchical hr ill-governed States of Mex ico, Central Anierica and 'Soli th America, entitle him to the esteem, gratitude and confidence of the people of Pennsylvania, as well as of the whole Union. Resolved, That the Democracy of Pennsylva. nia have always advocated and still advocate an adequate encouragement and discriminating pro tection of iron and coal and of the industrial in terests of this State, within the scope of a tariff for necessary revenue; and.' belieVing that the rerun° accruing from the existing tariff will be insufficient for the unavoidable expenditures of .the Federal Government, had that an `obstinate adherence to it wiirresult in the ateamulation, in time of peaeo, of a heavy national debt, al ways dangerous to the peace, liberty and pros perity of a free people, they now, by their repro sentatives'in this Convention, earnestly invite the people of this State, by a frank and cordial support of the policy*of the first President whom Pennsylvania has given to the Union, to aid and strengthen him in hi.; future endeavors to pro cure a revision of the tariff net of 1 . 557 by the next Congress, on the principle set forth in his last annual message. Resolved, That while'an economical adminis tration of the government of the Union is demand ed by the whole sitirit of our institutions, and the best judgment of the penple ; it is, at the same time, incumbent upon us to sustain the proper dignity of the country at home and abroad, and not to neglect the prompt supply .of all necessary means of defence against foreign aggression, and for the assertion 'and protection of This rights of all Amercan eitikeits everywhere, and especially on this continent. Resolved, That the acquisition of the Island of Cuba by honorable and - peaeefftl means, would be of vast importance to the prosperity and security of our whole country; and also advance in an em inent degree the cause of humanity, by its tenden cy to check; the progress of the slave trade ; and thr t the proposition of the President to obtain the possession of that Island by a fair purchmar from the government of Spain, was a manly and up right step tolvards the attainment of so desirable an object; an object iibibb has received the sanc tion and approval ofJeterson, Madison, 3. Q. Ad ams and Clay, as well as of eminent living States- EIZEI Resolved, that tieross the Central American Isthmus lies the great highway to our. Pacific State; and that we have witnessed, with pleasure and pride; the earnest efforts of the president to keep them open Itnti, make them safe; in which view he should be secondetl.by Congress with the necessary powers to enable him to insist upon the fulfilment, by the States possessing those territo ries, of the treaty guarantees which they have giv en to toir citizens. 'Resolved; 'Thal, thisten'ventiOn highly approve the course of the lion. William Bigler, Senator in Congress from this State, and 'desire to record their sense of the ability, consistency, patriotism and sound national Deinocracy which have dis tinguished his public nets as one of the represen tatives of Pennsylvania. Resolved, That the doctrine of popular sover eignty, which recognizes the right of the people of the Territories having a sufficient population to organize their. State governments under a •Con stitution with or without slaver.* as they may soy e folly determine, subject only to the Constitution of the 'United States, and without any control of ,ny department of the Federal government over that subject, meets with our renewed and mittni mous approbation and Support. Resolved, That the prosperity of our. State can be better and More stcuroly promoted by encour aging thd conipelitien tif individtial capital, skill and industry than by any grant of corporate priv ileg,es and powers to gl,gentie ettonopOlies. Resolved, That IVO are in favor of an honest and economical adMinistratton of the affairs of this Commonwealth, and until the people are re lieved from the burden of the enormous debt now hinging over them, wearo - opposed to any nonce .essary expenditure of the pitblic money, or any reduction of the present sources of revenue. Resolved, That in view of the difficulties at tendant upon the regulation of a banking system, and of the losses incidental to a deposit of the public moneys in such institutions, the early adop tion of an independent Treasury for the safe keep ing of tie moneys of the Commonwealth, on the principle of the sub-treasury of the United States, is recommended to the Legislature of the State. The resolutions were read separately and adopted unanimously. Mr. Lamborton offered tho folloiving in addi- t ion : . Resolved, That we approve 'the State policy of governor Win. F. Packer. His just exercise of the veto power has been fearless and Democratic, land his administration of the affairs of our CM ! m onwealth and the execution of the laws, emu mands our commendation. Mr. Lamberton advocated its passage and deprecated the ignoring of the Democratic ExecutiVe of the State by the report of the .Comtnittee. The re solution was confined to Governor Pack er's State policy, and did not touch his action in regard to LecomPlon and the Natitinal Administration. Speaking by authority, he denied any participation by . the Governor's ()roan at Harrisburg, reflecting upon , the Ation 'al Government. if this supposed, par ticipation . had to any extent influenced the Committee, to ignore the Governor, this was -; now, done away with. _He would admit, that the Governor has been unhappy in some of his appointments and in the, selection of. friends; he would not +defend the conduct of the Attorney General, Mr. Knott, and oth ers. But in order to harmonize the party,and avoid it being said that a Lecompton issue has been made against the State Administration, he urged, on grouads' of policy, to the Democratic party, the passage of his resolution.. , :Mr. Monaghan, said he had a very sad and painful duty. to perform. He cared nothing about the anti-Lecompton sen timents of Gov'. Packer ; he would har monize, and even vote for any Deino trat who honestly differed from him on -the; Kansas question; but. hei had t other grounds to induce him to oppose the re solution. The course of Gov. Pecker had b con to foster disorganizers of the paity, and his very Attorney General had I een his . emissary, in Chester county. Let Democrats look over the appoint ; ments which he - has made, and with ex ception of tlfe 'Secretary and Deputy Secretary of the Commonwealth, there were none that he could approve. He was willing to take the consequences, and say that he did not believe Gover nor Packer was an honest man. In 18 58 a bill passed the Legislature for the transfer of the State canals. What was his action? Did he interpose a veto, as a Democrat should have done ? No, but he gave-his official sanction to the i bill, and gave the canals for far less than their known wort - trio the State. In his message, he alluded to a bid of ; $225,000 more for one of the lines than ; was received,'7ctrid4et he consented to its re-sale for an amount less this sum. !And what was his excuse? Why, that previous to the first, he had 'given his verbal assent to the latter. Look at the act which provides :that no .transfer should be Made by the Sun -bury and Erie Railroad Company, with out a written consent, of the Governor, filed in the office 'of the Secretary of the Commonwealth. A short time after thatrapsfer, he had been with one of the purchasers, who had said that a thing had been made of the purchase of the canals, and—that within ihree weeks they had been offer ed an advance of $227,000. His doctrine was to rebuke evil wher ever. it Was 'seen. What would have been the : effect-of a rebuke of David Wilmot years ago, when he violated the usages of the Democratic party ? Why districts, which• now were opposition, would have retained their allegiance. The sane the case in the Chester and Dela Ware DiStrict, when he had oppos e.d the nomination of Hickman, in 1854 and '56, who, after his election, became a traitor to the Democratic party. Had the .Democratic party repudiated him in 1856 he would have'failed in 1858 drawing after'him a large number of the Democratic votes.. More.votes would be lost by advoca ting Gov. Packer than by keeping qui et. Already the were reasons to believe that he would-be nominated by ~ .the op position for United States Senator, while Judge Knox would run for Governor. De was in• fever of 'compromise on the' question Of endorsing Governor Packer. - He came here ready to de 11011FICC him. Now he would compro mise.by saying nothing about hint. Let the friends of that gentleman do ,the same. He alluded to the impossibility of the defeat of the Democratic party. on ac count of its - non:endersement of one man. He cited the Knownothings:as illtistra• lions of an absurd attempt of a few lac tionists to defeat a great party, He should vote against The resolution for the reasons given : That he had fos tered disorganizers; that he had turned Democrats out of office. ; that he had consummated fraud by the transfer of the people's property to a vast monopo ly; lastly, that his endorsement would do the party injury. Mr. Jenks had been directed 'to come here to take conciliatory measures. te . ,- co m t o'n De rnot,ra t s had so instructed him, and they desired a compromise be tween two opposing factions. The propositions embraced in the res olution were, first, an endorsement of the State policy, and 'second, the com mendation of his exercise of the veto power. The resolution did not endorse the Governor in his personal 'preferences, such as • John C. KnoX: The geritle man from Chester need not tell - him any thing about the Attorney General.— Knox came from his county, and when poor and helpless' and nearly starving, the,Democrack of Jefferson county took him by thcliont end madehim Judge. He-showed now his ingratittkle , and true character. ' True, Governor Packer has nut disavowed him, and has not shown much discretion in the selection of his officers and fritnds: But tbe resolution merely spoke in laudation of his enforce ment of the - laws. He supported the .resolution as emi nently Politic, and ess'emial to the suc cess of the Democratic party in 1860. Mr. nopkins, as one who had for thir ty years been an observer of political parties, would offer a - few 'suggestions. Though he could ncichut admit that the discretion of the Governor has not pro ven good in regard to his appointments and some other matters, still he favored conciliatory measures, such as were cal. ciliated to produce - harmony in the Dem• ucratic party. Schisms had already produced woeful results, and the' past taught a useful lesson for the future. Mr. Gillis did not suppose that furth er discussion would give much informa tion. Three speakers have spoken for and one against the resoluti'on. He thought it best to let the - Convention de cide now, and therefore called the pre vious question. • - Mr.johnson asked that the call sb6uld be -walidrawri. Mr. Gillis declined to withdraw ex cept on condition that Mr., Johnson should not occupy the Convention for more than ten minutes. Mr. Johnson, accepting thiS, made some remarks. He deprecated the conciliatory policy ; and said that it had been advocated in- 1854, in his own county, when the Deniocratie party was at .a low ehti:', had repudiated it, and the next . .eleetion- gave the regular Democratic Nominees twelve hundred majority. • - .The resolution endorsed the State policy of the Governor. Why, what other policy did he have ? He had bro ken every pledge made to the Demo cratic party when he stumped the State. He reverted to the iniquity of the sale of the main line and transfer of the canals. As to losing the votes of the friends of Gov. Packer in his county, the plea was absurd, for the Governor had not ten men of any stripe in that county. Recently this same -Governor remov ed one of the best -Democrats and most honest men in the State, fiem offiCe; and put in liii,pleee 'a man. from . New , er sey—a man who supported a Republi can who had voted for a law conferring on the niggers of New Jersey the right of suffrage. How did Packer act on the Slavery question ? Why, before the election, he declined to stump the State for the discussion of this nuestion, alleging that the Governor ha'd nothing to do with it. Then, after the election, he seized upon matters which were equally and, entirely foreign to his duty. He' could r i ot vote for the resolution. He could vote for anti-Leeompt on Dem ocrats, but not for Republicans, even though they had been Democrats. The previous question was 'renewed, and sustained. On the resOluaons relative to Wm. h.
