.He is already well known to the peo
ple d( the State, having been elected to
this ()trice in 1856. The fidelity and
efficiener with which he has dischaaged
hiis .. public duties, have earned for him
confidence and respect of
all parties. His nomination for a sec

EVENING SESSION=
The Convention was called to order
at I o'clock, P. M.
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.
