ter before the nations of the earth; to display new
elements of national strength, and to 'present new
reasons for the perpetuity of our political institutions.
The present general administration, which came
into power on the 4th of March, 1845, has lived to
see its policy and Its .principles fully vindicated by
the test of time ; and the firm and fearless Execu
tive, who did not hesitate to avow his,great re

tion, is greeted t the tributes of the reluctant wit
nesses; who daily confess in the wisdom and fore

the first to be prostrated under the iron hand of free
trade according to the horoscope cast for her by
'ear .political seers—still stands before her sisters,
with herlfair fields unblighted, her iron hills alive
with thehum of industry, and her teeming valleys
jocundwith the roi:e of well rewarded toil.
It is under auspicious circumstauces like these
that the delegates of the Democratic party of Penn

The Democracy of Pennsylvania,' with these.
truths before them, proudly submit the name of
JAMES BUCHANAN to the Menet-al Convention,
as their favorite candidate for the,Presidency. For
a long series of years this distinguished ,statesman
has been connected with the councils of his coun
try; and weare free to refer to his public career,
with the assurance that he is singularly well quali
fied to discharge the duties of that exalted position,
for next four years. He comes from a State, to
use his own beautiful language, the Democracy of
which " holds the balance with steady judgment
and enlightened patriotism, between the opposite
extremes of. consolidation and disunion." Even
since he has been in our legislative halls, this has
been the motto which has regulated his conduct.—
He has been indeed, on all occasions, the vigilant
and consistent representative of the Keystone Stale.
In regard to Pennsylvania, to use the language of
the address, adopted by the great Democratic State
Convention which assembled in this place in 1843,
herself one of the very first to abolish slavery, and .
occopynig a, position, its it were, between this in
stitutioreind its misguided enemies she has ever
thrown her weight of character, and counsel, and
position, with signal success on the , side of the
country. This position has been !admirably ewe•
scnted in the national councils by Mr. BUCHANAN.
His profound disquisitions on the doctrines of 'State
rights, and his consistent opposition to the madden
ed excitement of fanatical zeal, while pursuing an
imaginary evil, regardless of the very existenee of
our country and our constitution, have become' Me
morable in our political history, and here given
his name a warm place, (not only among his coun
trymen in that' region which be has befriended;
but everywhere else;) in the effections of all tbe
- friends of the country. Fennsylvania thus stands
as a barrier between the North and the South, and
her g i gantic interposition - has always been-felt with
effect, to - the dinraceatind confusion of these who
plotted our common down-fall in the name of phi-
lanthropy. , .
Pennsylvania presents this distinguished citizen
to the Union, at thevery Moment when such quali
ties and such experience as his, are most to be de
sired !in our candidate for the 'Presidency. By
withdrawing, his namelrom the list of Presidential
candidates in 1814,.Mr. Braman increased his
title to the respect and consideration of the country,
and showed how f a r above all motives of self he
esteemed the union and the ascendency of the De
mocratic party. If subsequertcireninstanceschang,-
ed the aspect of things, Me. patriotic spirit in which.
that
that act was resolved upon, did not lad any theism
to commend it to the approval of the-Democracy of
the Union. That it was aprreciated by the disen
.guisned Statesman who cattle into the. Exectutive
clairithreeyears ago, is shown by the fact; that
one °fibe first acts of his administration was to of
fer to Mr. %cumuli' the first place - in his Cabinet,
—a position Tornterly filled by Jerrassosr, /mists,
CtAT, VIN EVREN, WEiSTTII., CALVOCZI, a nd oihe;
of the master intellects of the age. It is unneces
sary to allude to the manner in which he Sii met
the expeciationn of the President and the 'country,
in this tialponsible and arduous lunation, filled dur
ing one of the meet eventful administrations in our
history, and bearing intimately upon 'our relations
withfoteigt goveinments. The admiration which
greeted his masterly argument on the Oregon clues
don, and - which -has•since applauded the ibility
with which he has asserted our county's cause, in
his correspondence with,the Mexican Ministers, is
a proof that JAIN= K. P 01.1( knew where -to find
a wise, 4 profound, and an experienced statesman,
when be appointed Loos Bucatila Secretary of
State.
• We deem it unnecessary to allude, at any length,
to the political tie - Rory,Of Jain BCCIIANAS. Every
true Pennsylirrinilia knows it by bead. The ardent
young American, who volunteered to defend his
eountry, during the Wei wnr,--the fiiend of -Mos
so; Who offered 'him a %reign mission during his
first mission of congress,—the friend of7s9csoa,
who appointed him minister to one - of the most pol.

Yn Michigan the noble effort of Mr. Bantuslss,

sion. In the South, the clear and perspicuous, and
profound
s expositions of State rights, by JA 31143 Be-
CHANANi are recorded among the productions of
their ablest eXpounders. Each of these separate
acts is well kbown to every section of the country,
and each, in rapid succession, has won the ap
plause of the democracy of the country.
The•lame of JAMES BUCHANAN is indissolu
bly connected with that of Pennsylvania. He is
her favorite and cherished son. lie represents her
peculiarly, in . standing by the Union and the com
promises of the constitution. .The vow of Pennsyl
vania is important to our emcees at the polls, in
November. She presents a candidate worthy of
herself. She has claims To 'the Presidency song
proved andjuimined; and she lays before the Na
tional Conxention her preference, in the full awe- .
ranee that it will be respected.
Resolved, That in JAS. BUCHANAN, Pennsyl
vania's candidate for the Presidency, we have a
statesman whom we present.to the Democratic Na
tional Convention, as worthy of the entire confidence
of the Democratic party of the country, and equal
to the grave responsibilities and duties of the high
est office upon earth.
• Resolved; That JAMES BcCHANAN as a public.
man worthy' of the support of the whole- country,
and especially with reference to th4se great ques

of unhappy, divisions be.tweed

&Joked, That we owe to/Major General Jomir A.
Qtrastax, of Mississippi, the accomplished military
leader, and the able and intrepid Democrat—warm
thanks for the manner in which ho defended the
fair fame of the Second Pennsylvania Regiment,
against the attacks that' reflected upon its reputation
and *widened its honor.
Rada* That we tepees full confidence in the

by its triumphant salvation of the whole republic
from the effects- of a spirit of speculation, that must

first fitting occasion to espimge from its journals all •
traces of the disqaceful AIRMAN amendment to
