UNION STATE CONVENTION.
CLOSE OF ITS PROCEEDINGS.
Nomination of General Geary for
Governor.
The Resolutions, &c.
The Convention having reassembled at
Harrisburg, at 5 P.M. yesterday, took up
and adopted the following resolutions re
ported by the Committee:
Resolutions.
Resolved, That this. Convention, repre
senting the Union-loving and loyal people
of Pennsylvania, who neyer despaired of
the Republic, and who poured out millions
of treasure, and devoted yet more precious
blood for the rescue of their country from
the felonious attacks of a wicked and cause
•lesarebellion; whose sons fought on every
battle-field and suffered in every Southern
prison pen of torture and starvation; whose
nojile dead lie on the soil of every State,
Where they fell under the folds of the Na
tional banner, here renew their pledge of
unfaltering devotion to the Federal Union,
• and repeat their determined purpose that it
shall be preserved.
2. Resolved, That the most imperative
duty of the present is to gather the legiti
mate fruits of the war, in order that our
Constitution may come out of the rebellion
purified, our institutions strengthened, and
our national life prolonged.
3, Resolved, That failure in these grave
duties would be scarcely less criminal than
would have been an acquiescence in seces
sion and in the treasonable machinations of
the conspirators, and would be an insult to
every soldier who took up arms to save the
country.
4. Besolved,'That filled with admiration
at the patriotic devotion and fearless cour
age with which Andrew Johnson resisted
and denounced the efforts of the rebels -to
overthrow the National Government, Penn
sylvania rejoiced to express her entire con
fidence in his character and principles, and
approved of his noble conduct by bestowing
her suffrage upon him for the second posi
tion in honor and dignity in the country.
His bold, outspoken denunciation of the
crime of treason; his firm demands for the
punishment of the guilty offenders, and his
expression of thorough sympathy with the,
friends of the Union secured for him the
warmest attachment of her people, who re
membering his great services and sacrifices
while traitors and their sympathizers alike
denounced his patriotic actions, appeal
to him to stand firmly by the side and to
lean upon the support of the loyal masses
whose votes formed the foundation of his
promotion, and who pledged to him their
unswerving support in all measures by
which treason shall be stigmatized, loyalty
,recognized and the freedom, stability and
purity of the National Union secured.
- 5. Resolved, That the work of reorganizing
the late insurrectionary States to their
proper relations to the Union; necessarily
devolves upon the law-making power, and
that until such action shall be taken no
State lately in insurrection is entitled to
representation in either branch of Congress;
that as primary to such action is, the right
of Congress to investigate for itself the con
dition of the legislation of these States, to
inquire respecting their loyalty, and to pre
scribe the term of restoration, and that to
deny this necessary constitutional power.is
to deny and imperilone of the dearest rights
belonging to our representative form of
Government, and that we cordially approve
of the action of the Union Representatives
in Congress from Pennsylvania on this
subject.
6. Resolved, That no man who jaas volun
tarily engaged in the late rebellion, or has
held office under the rebel organization,
should be allowed to sit in the Congress of
the Union, and that the law known as the
test oath should not be repealed, but should
be enforced against all claimants for seats in
Congress.
7. Resolved, That the national faith is
sacredly pledged to the payment of the
National debt incurred hi the war to save
the country and to suppress the rebellion,
and that the people will not suffer this faith
to be violated or impaired; but all debts in
curred to support the rebellion were unlaw
ful, void and of no obligation, and shall
never be assumed by the United States, nor
shall any State be permitted to pay .any
evidences of so vile and wicked engage
ments.
Resolved, That the public faith is not less
solemnly pledged to the protection the
enjoyment of all their natural rights of
their persons, proper and domestic rela
tions, of the colored population who have
boen emancipated by the fiat of the people
under the providence of God, and who de
served liberty by their kindness and fide
lity to our soldiers in prison, or wounded,
seeking escape from their tormentors; by
their own courage in bearing arms for and
fighting the battles of the Union. Even as
man is more precious than money in every
,just account, so the honor of the nation is
Amore .sacredly engaged to these humble,
but never treacherous friends, than to those
who gold its bonds stamped with the broad
seal of the United States; that their free
dom shall not be a mockery nor their j Ink
baps of security, education and elevation
inl'Attellectual and moral improvement
disappointed, and this faith must be kept
inviolate.
9. Resolved, That protection to all
brMiChes of productive industry is the only
wise.policy in our present national condi
tion';' is the true plan of restorationof the
losses and ravages of war, of advancing the
national , property, increasing the national
wealth and supplying the means of main
taining public faith with the public creditor
and ultimately wiping out the national debt;
that in the provision of internal revenue
and the laying of duties ,on importations
from foreign nations, the object should be to
cause the former to press as little upon, and
the latter to protect as fully as-possible, our
own citizens who are engaged in works of
labor, of mining, aianufacturing,and every:
other province of home industry, against
fnequal and unfair competition with foreign
capital and policy, which neither contribute
to develop the resources of our country,
assist to pay our taxes, nor are conceived to
maintain our Government."
10. Resolved, That the administration of
the public affairs of Pennsylvania by Go
vernor A. G. Curtin during the years of
trial, toil, responsibility and anxiety which
have recently passed over us, has been
marked by such patriotic devotion,mayield
ng courage, constant watchfulness, un-
Uearied labor and shining ability as 'have
made his name illustrious in the annals of
this Commonwealth,and given him a place
in the memory and affections of the people
which cannot be lost. His enviable title or
the "soldier's friend" is itself expressive or
the highest enlogiums which could be pro
nounced on any public officer, and when his
term of honorable, useful and most benefi
cial-'service, shall close,
,he shall not be
forgotten, but honor, love and affectionate
remembrance, and the plaudits of a gratefa
public shall cluster around his person and
make his name memorable.
11. Resolved, That this convention congratu
lafetthe people of the State of Pennsylvania
on the passage of the law relleSing the real
estate pf the Commonwealth from taxation
for State purnoses and tender to the members
of the General Assembly their thanks• for
their considerate attention to relieVe the
popular burdens ; while they confidently
refer to it as a proof of the superior capacity
of the Union organization for the beneficial
Conduct of public affairs, that, after a long
And exhausting , war, the debt of Pennsyl
vania is reduced and the taxes imposed in
a time of peace by. their political managers
of the Executive offices and a General
Assembly chosen by a Union party.
12. Resolved, That the loyal people of Penn
,ylvania having steadily manifested through
the war with the rebellion their warm re
gard for the rights of the gallant defenders
of the Union, and never having voted to
refuse them the right of suffrage when in
the camp or in the field—a right inestimable
CO them and formidable to traitors and their
sympathizers only, we take pleasure in ex
pressing, not now for the first time, their
gratitude for their gallantry and devotion,
and declaring again a long settled purpose
to appropriate the means and resources of
the Government to the comfort, consolation
and support of the disabled. survivors, or
widows and orphans of those who fell in the
conflict.
13. .Resolved, Thatthe services,labors,con
summate ability and unyielding faith in the
destiny of the country manifested by the
Hon. Edwin M. Stanton as the head of the
War Department during the rebellion,have
been of inestimable value to the country,
and entitle him to the warmest commenda
tion of the people.
14. Resolved, That Congress should not
fail to make an equitable adjustment of
bounties and allowances to the brave men
who were engaged in the military service of
the country, and that we heartily approve
of the liberal appropriation now pending in
the Legislatureof Pennsylvania for the care
and education of the orphan children of the
soldiers who gave their lives for the salva
don of the Republic.
15. _Resolved, That in this crisis of public
affairs, full of grateful recollections of his
marvelous and memorable services on the
field of battle, we turn to the example of
unfaltering and uncompromising loyalty of
Lieutenant-General Grant with a confidence
not the less significant and unshaken be
cause at no period of the great struggle has
his proud name been associated with doubt
ful patriotism, or used for sinister purposes
by the enemies of our common country.
16. Resolved, That any attempt by foreign
nations to establish a monarchical govern
ment on this continent is evidence of a de
sign to destroy republican institutions. Re
gard for our own safety and for the future
security of the republic demands that no
such attempt should be permitted to suc
ceed.
17. Resolved, That Hon. Edgar Cowan,
Senator from Pennsylvania, by his cour 3e
in the Senate of the United States, has dis
appointed the hopes and has forfeited the
confidence of those to whom he owes his
place, and that he is hereby most earnestly
requested to resign.
IS. Resolved, That the State Central Com
mittee be constituted by the appointment of
a Chairman by the President of this Con
vention in consultation with the Union can
dilate for Governor, and that the remainder
of said committee shall consist of one mem
ber from each county in the State, except
the city of Philadelphia, which shall have
eight members, and the counties of Lancas
ter, Berks, Dauphin and Allegheny each
two members, to be named by the represen
ative de legates from the sa id counties in tin.;
convention; and that the association of loyal
Pennsylvanians resident at Washington
hall also be allowed one member, to be ap
pointed.by their delegates present.
Proceeding. to Ballot.
Mr. Dickey then moved that the Conven
tion proceed to ballot -for a candidate for
Governor, without the formality of nomi
nations. Agreed to.
Mr. Cessna then anncunced that he did
not desire to run, and that he released the
delegates instructed to vote for him, so that
they might vote for whom they pleased.
[Cheers.]
During the calling of the roll there was
expressions of approval or disapproval, as
the various votes were announced.
Mr. Cessna voted for Gen. Geary.
Nomination of General Geary.
When General Geary's tally rescued 67,
giving him the nomination in advance of
the result, there was loud cheering. The
result of the first ballot was—General John
W. Geary, Si votes; W. W. Ketcham, 30; J.
K. Moorhead, 19; and General Harry White,
3. General John W. Geary was then de
clared to be the nominee of the Republican
Union party of Pennsylvania for Governor.
The nomination was made unanimous, and
the Convention "pledged the nominee fifty
thousand majority.
A resolution commending General Geary
to the favorable consideration of the people
was adopted, and a Committee was ap
pointed to invite General Geary to address
the Convention.
Before the General's arrival, Mr. Marshall,
of Allegheny, addressed the people : Al
though his friends had presented Mr. Moor
head, yet Allegheny had never repelled a
soldier of his country who had served gal
lantly.
An allusion to Thaddeus Stevens was
greeted with wild applause, and three
cheers were given for Stevens. He said
General Geary had endorsed Stevens, and
Allegheny would support Geary heartily.
Mr. Cessna pledged himself to work for
the nominee. He said the Democrats were
insolent and defiant on Monday, because
they thought their sun was rising, but they
misapprehend the sentiments of the Union
party. He did not think that President
Johnson would prove treacherous, but if he
did,we would go to the soldiers and the peo
ple; we would turn our backs upon him
and push forward to victory without him.
[Applause.] Treason is a crime, and traitors
must and shall be punished.
The Democracy say we cannot obtain le
gislation through Congress, and yet on
Monday they said we owe allegiance to the
Constitutitm, together with the amendment
abolishing slavery. [Laughter.] It was an
old maxim that it was dangerous to stand
on the platform of a car. Now the Demo
vratic platform was framed by one named
Carr. It was dangerous to stand on this
platform, and they knew it, so they manu
factured a sort of a Clymer. [Laughter.]
If
we are deserted, though it was harsh to en
tertain the idea, the loyal people ,of Penn
sylvania would up such an overwhelm
ing majority in October as must teach trai
tors a lesson. [Cheers.]
Colonel McClure said though General
Geary was not his choice, yet there was no
man in Pennsylvania who would support
him with a greater zest and good will than
he. [Applause].
Galusha A. Grow spoke eloquently. The
war of ideas was still going on; right against
wrong; truth against error. Eternal justice
must prevail. Slavery had chilled the
hearts of the peOple and deserved to die.
The last shackle had fallen.
General Geary then appeared, accom
panied by a la , -ge delegation of the Geary
Legion and otLi organizations, with bands
of music. His appearance was hailed with
applause.
General Geary's Speech.
He said he was deeply affected by this
strong evidence of the people's confidence
in him. He readily recognized among the
crowds present in the streets and in the
Hall many of those who ihad braved the
storms and perils of battle in the service of
their country. He was profoundly sensi
ble of the responsibilities resting upon him.
He would hell) to maintain the principles
equal justice that underlie the foundation
or our Government. He heartly indorse d
every word of the'platform adopted at this
Convention. He would be true to the three
hundred thousand soldiers of Pennsylvania.
The coming contest shall be fairly and
honestly conducted on his part.
After music from the bands, the Secretary
read' a despatch from General Joseph
Hooker, endorsing the nomination, which
was greeted with. tumultuous applause.
Hon. W. W. Ketcham said he was a good
deal in the positidn of Mr. Lincoln after his
defeat in Illinois. He felt like the boy who
had stumped his toe; it was a little too much
to laugh Over, but not' enough fht• a luau to
THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN : PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, MARCH 8,1866,
cry, over. [Laughter.] He pledged Gen.
Geary a heart:) , support. •
The Convention had chosen a man t) bear
the standard of progressive liberty to vic
tory, and be would follow. Though de
feated himself, he was proud of the spirit
that nominated General Geary. Copper
heads who had been grinning and carping
around the streets of Harrisburg in the hope
that there would be dissensions in the Union
Convention, may take this result too bed
with them to-night. [Cheers.]
General J. K. Moorhead spoke at length,
promising to go with General Geary and
light with him until the battle was fought
out.. - [Great cheers.] We are going- to have
a very fierce campaign. Every man mast
do what he can, but the hero would be
elected by a triumphant majority. General
White, Colonel Mann, and others spoke,
when, after selecting the State Central Com
mittee, the Convention adjourned sine die.
Meeitin,.: of the Friends of Irish Indepen
A meeting of the friends of Irish inde
pendence was held last evening at the
National Guards' Hall. There was an im
mense attendance, the hall being densely
crowded. The General Sheridan Circle
marched to the meeting with martial music.
The meeting was called to order at 8
o'clock, and Mr. John A. Keenan was ap
pointed to,preside. Mr. Michael Nash was
chosen for Secretary.
Hon. V. H. Worthington, a member of
Congress, from Nevada Territory, was in
troduced by James Gibson, who, in doing
so, remarked that the people must not ex
pect long speeches from any of the gentle
men who should speak. The time for
speaking had passed, and the time for action
had arrived.
Mr. Worthington began by congratulating
the friends of Irish nationality on the arri
val of the time when the prospect was most
cheering for the success of the cause. He
reminded the assemblage of what the Ame
rican colonies has done—that they had
forced from Great Britain the acknowledg
ment of their independence. The war
of independence was begun when
the colonies had no army and no
navy; and suppose, said he, the colonists
had waited until they got both an army and
a navy, their independence would never
have been achieved. The freedom of
Ireland was to be won by the bravery of
her sons, and, in working it out, England
was to be struck at those points in which
she would feel the blow most sensibly,whe
t her it be through Canada or upon Irish soil.
Irishmen could look with confidence for
sympathy from the people of the United
States. Even the Government of
this country could aid the Irish
people in the great cause
in which they are engaged, and yet pre
serve as much neutrality as Great Britain
had done in the late war. The Government
could make an order that no gunboats
should leave the United States to aid in. se
curing Irish independence, but it could
take good care that the order,wai not issued
until alter the vessels had departed.
It could pretend to keep a sharp lookout to
prevent arms and ammunition being sent
abroad, yet take good care that they should
not be stopped in transitu. Mr. Worthing
ton hoped to see the independence of Ire
land secured at no distant day—to see the
green flag of Erin and the stars and
stripes floating side by side, both alike re
spected.
He was followed by Captain Edward Power
who urged his countrymen to immediate
Action in the cause of down-trodden Ire
land.
Mr. W. F. Carlin made an eloquent ap
peal in behalf of the cause—lreland. Be
fore closing, he called upon the assemblage
to come forward and contribute to the cause,
which a number of them did.
The Chairman, Mr. Keenan, recited, with
fine effect; a poem descriptive of the rebel
lion of '9B.
General Sweeny, who was announced to
be present, did not arrive till after ten
o'clock. His presence in the hall was the
signal of the wildest enthusiasm. The en
tire assemblage arose, and cheers burst
from every lip. The cheering was continued
until the General reached the stage, and
when he was introduced to the meeting the
enthusiasm was renewed. Order being re
tored, he said he did not appear to make a
speech, as speech-making was not his
business. He must, however, thank
his friends for the cordial welcome he had
received. He had not words to express his
feelings, which were of the most grateful
character. A crisis had arrived in the
affairs of Ireland, and a blow must be struck
at once. All that is now wanted are arms
and munitions of war, and contracts had
been made for them. The General hoped
that the people of Ireland would not at this
time rise, though he was afraid that the
suspension of the habeas corpus act would
lead to an uprising of the people. England
must, he said, be struck in her weak point,
and that point is Canada. He knew every
fort in Canada, and every gun in those forts,
and he was satisfied that the effort would be
successful if rightly directed.
At the close of his remarks the meeting
adjourned.
