Toe CANAL COMAUSINONSO, ISRAEL PAINTER. OF WEIFTAIONT.LAND COCNTF. 0::r The proceedings of the Democratic S ate Convention which we publish in full this week, ex clude our . usual variety. ' We are compelled io defer the .address and resolutions, a. also several tu ttcles-relattve to the Convention and its action—a letter tram our Washington torrespoodent, &c., which will appear next week. The Dcmoerait4 Fourth of Mar l th Conyea. tion—nos. David Wilmot. IVe are aware that the proceeding; of the Demo cratic Fourth ofittaxch Convention are looked for rrlth much anxiety by the - Democracy and people of Bradford County. They_ are especisiliy hive. tient to learn the fate of Mr. Wrimor, since the ~dict had gone forth that hip was to be sacrificed-- to be read out of the party: It was very 'evident at Harrisburg, before the Convention met, that Mr. Wilmot had ardent and enthusinslie friends, elsewhere than in Bradford, and. that aniongst thecongregated multitude mom bled there from all parts ' , Of the Slate, but fear could be found, who Were willing to aid in the call made upon them to immolate Mr. W. Even at that time, the impression kas obtained generally, that the assaults made upon hint from certain quarters ; had produced an effect very di ffererif from what was : Intended, and would return with greater force upon those who gave it. We wore not prepared - to expect so gratifying a re rdslt it has taught us a lesson, which we wish was unlearned, for we did not think the press generally could - be so far swayed by any influence, as to pre. sent any other thah AM true state of public opinion; in regard to, Mr. Witattir. We were, however, slow to believe that even his Proviso was repudia ted by the Democracy of Pennsylvania:---that what. ever might be its fate now, we were confident that triumph awaited it. Now we have seen, and know, that be the action of the Democracy of this State, what it may on this question, they will never re - diare the Proviso. Mr. Wu.stortook an active part in the prove p ings of the Convention, and was sustained 41-evrry movement of his. A concerted attempt was made ill a few, strengthened, as they supposed, by what the Penuss Iranian hid said of Mr. Waster, to de feat the selection of a gentleman friendly to him, RR a delegate to the National Convention. Tb ef fect this, ingenious proposi:ions were made, by which to single out this Congressional district, as the point of attack. Bold and malignant as the de sign was, it was presi.sted in, by certain men, sent to Harrisburg, to advise the plan of operation in the attack on Mr. Wilmot.. They had flattered themselveZthat whatever their dictator had willed ._of the Convention, Would be omnipotent. The first proposition made was, that the names of dele gates to the National Convention selected by the delegates from the several Congressional districts, be refered to a. select committee 4 of twenty, by whom they were to be approved or rejected. This was a sort of star chamber inquisition, of theirsown selection. This flagrant proposition was rejected, and an amendment adopted, by which those dele gates were to be referred to the Convention for ap proval, The next proposition was, that the Con vention proceed to ad upon the nominations sing ly, and- in numerical order. The object of this movement was to attack Mr. Wilmot's district, and if possible, defeat the delegate nominated by it.— To this, he offered an amendment, which was, that the Convention confirm .all nominations of delis gates' to the National Convention, that were made unanimously by the 'delegates from the several dis tricts. • On this amendment Mi. Lowry, of Craw. ford county, made a thrilling and eloquent speech. in the course of which he alluded- with great feel ing, and animation to the manner in which Mr. Wilmot had been proscribed, vindicating him from all assaults, and prophesying for him a brilliant and glorious career; he significantly intimated that the vrrong.man had' been selected for a victim, & warn ed certain men, to carry this proscription no further. He asserted that the delegates from his district had been told that all Objection to the delegates Select. ed by them, would be withdrawn, if. they would unite to defeat Mr. Wilmot's friend. Re said he had yet to lean the first mason, why the noble Democrat, Mr. Wilitot, - abOuld be stricken down. Mr. Lowry's dek.nce of Mr. Wilmot was received with the most rapturous *palliest. leery few me. meets; > i ! was intentupteriby.thentast deafening cheers: There was now-no mistaking the ikeling of the Convention ; irchtedled been :crock; which vibrited -,tittne* essay- host.- ..There was no flinching. Mr. Wilmot rose, when the COOTeb• stun, and the vast dm:mg-in the galleries, set up a eiranimiseemeheer. 1u suspicion were =dim. by the steamy fact disclosed by Mr. Lowty, He Asa proceeded, in en able and eloquent *etch; to defend lams if; in the course of which he retire. .d his political coarse from the, commencement of hit Confessional career. He spoke freely and at some lertgtha his Proviso; and gave cogent tea ' sons why it should be sustained. During his speech on this subject, the most rapturous applause followed,* We covet saw the attention of an au. .. diesels more intensely fixed on a speaker, than was this Convention on Mr. Wilmot. No disapproying voice was heard is that throng; end with hut few exceptions., every thing was done to emotive, en courage and sustain him. When he tonirebis seat, ed. At tilt ticoe,lailWent imented, a f + c . 1 1114 e • • ." y fil - ra, aa. it -uppcfied -e - ben arm that be intended an attack on Ur. Wilmot.-7. compaided with much confusion. Mr. McCain:ion , 4 1 length spoke out at the height of his. voice, that be was the /dead of Mt. 'Mara. With this an! nunciation the Convention A 1 1410 i0,i commenced ebeerink, fieleienie envied *4 Wilmot, who set in front of te.ded 'a iiiii7,l;l4l:4ldii *Mr frienJ with : this, the 'opiate* was mon &teen ing than ever. Could anything more be sited, to denote the feeling oldie Convention for Mr. ? Was ever a triumph more sivel or com plete± for which we know both be and his friends were truly grateful. The congratubitions among the crowd in the gallories demonstrated their ap probation °ibis course. • A vote was then taken on MI. Wilmot's proposition, and was carried, and thus was the nomination of Mr. Sanderson, of Bradford couoty, es a delegate to the National Convention, confirmed. It was understood in the Corregidor!, that Mr, Sanderson was a zealous and devoted friend of Mr. Wilmot ; it was the selection of such a friend, that aroused the indignation of a few, out of the Convention, to push the crusade against Mr. Wilmot. • St:lssequently a proposition tame up to instruct the..delegates to the National Convention to vole against the adoption of the two-thirds rule. It will be recollected that the recent Democratic Conven tion of this county repudiated the:rule. Upon this, Mr. Wiltnot made a speech; he said its operation had defeated Martin Van Buren in 1844, and give to the minority a complete control of the majority : that it was a measure introduced by the Smith, who were in the minority, that the majority might -be held at bay; and be compelled to make such no minations as they should dicta e. That previous to 1841 the practical operation of the tale was not felt. Before then, Presidents had been nominated nearly unanimously. That in 1835, after the nom ination of Mr. Van Burets, which - was unanimoul, some difficulty occured in selecting a candidate for the Vice Presidency. The South attempted to put in requisition the two-thirds rule; it was rejected, and thr Virginia dele,gat;on tented from the Con vention. Mr. Wilmot's speech was very logical, and convincing; the vote was taken, and the pro position carried two to one. Thus adding another proof of the confidence of the Democracy in him, notwithstanding the call of the Pennsylvanian mid Union to forbear with him no longer. We have said, and again repeat it, that we have reason to believe, that a large majority of the De mocracy of Pennsylvania prefer the principles of the Proviso to those of the Missouri Compromise, on the admission of free territory. On this ques tion Mr. Wilmot was not less triumphant than in other respects. There was no in ention of offering the Proviso in the Convention, unless an attempt was made to sustain Mr. Buchanan's doctrine, as contained in his Barks County Letter. Only a short time before the Convention, a special organ of Mr. Buchanan. the Lancaster intelligencer, announced a determination to annihilate Mr. Wilmot, by'the passage of a resolution against the Proviso. No such, attempt however was made,' for the reason that no friend of Mr. Buchanan, dare make it. Will any one believe, that after all that had been said by the Pennsylvanian and Union about Mr. -Wilmots Proviso being repudiated by 18,000 majority in this State, that it would not have been repudiated by the Convention, if it could have been done!-- It could not be done, and the special enemies of Mr. Wilmot law it. Prudence dictated silence:— No so however with Mr. 'Bechanan's Mhssouri Compromise, endorsed as it was said to be, by 18,- 000 majority. A resolution approving of the posi tion of Mr. Buchanan by his Berko County Letter, in relation to the Missouri Compromise, was re ported to the committee orf resolutions, composed of racsortesir members, one hem each Congression al district; also a considerable portion of the ad dress was devoted to an eloquent 'defence of the Missouri Compromise; all of which was reject, by the committee, there being but two out of twen ty-four votes in their favor. Thus was the Missouri Compromise disapproved of. We hope to hear no. Ong more about 18,000 majority in its favor, when in a committee of one from every Congressional distriet, fresh from the people, only two could be found to do it reverence. Had the resolutions re potted by the committee said anything on the sub ject, o'hers than Mr. Wilmot stood ready to efferthe Proviso. Had it been offered, nothing is more certain, than that it would - have been adopted. The most sanguine friends could ask for nothing more than was conceded to him. And to no one in that Convention were they more indebted than to M. B. Lowry, Esq., of Crawfonl county, for hie energetic, and steadfast support of Mr.• Wilmot thronghout•the whole proceedings. The Convention and the Proviso. The labor to be performed by the late State Con vention had been most kindly marked out by the Pennsylvanian and the Lancaster Intelligenter, Had the Delegates seen fit to be dictated to by those pensioned prints, their only business would have been to confirm the measures put forth by those . papers. But they chose to act more iude pe. ndently. The lutelli c tencer of February 15,1548, thus lays down the platform open which the Con vention is to act, in regard to the Proviso:— "How. Davis Wrimirr.—This 111111111/111130 has been chosen a delegate to the Choi March Con ven lion from Bradfordconoty.
