conscious that-a number of names would be soh

Pennsylvania could rally, and hence I was anxious
not to disturb the deliberations of that body by
pressing any claims of my own. You do me noth

that such an expression of the Democracy as that

disregarded. I shoutd.think - Myself recreant to

LETTIin XL VIII.
After the reading of the journal to-day, the'
House adjourned in order to give the members an
opportunity of attending the Whig State Conven
tion. In consequence of which, I can find noth
ing in the proceedings of the Legislature to make
mention in a letter. The convention met in the
court-house at tO A. M. There was a great gath
ering of the incorruptibles from every part of the
State. During the temporary organization of the
convention, a great deal of confusion ensued.—
'
Each of the prominent candidates nominated a
et mon to preside as chairman; both immediately
rushed forward and endeavored to wrest the chair
• from the other. To settle all difficulties it was
,proposed to -leave it to the voice of the conven
tion who should retain-the seat. Mr. Bell of Ches
ter county, theTrvine, candidate, was the • favor
ed one. This:was - ominous of defeat 4o the Coop.
er men. A committee was appointed to choose
officers for the permanent organization of the con
vention In the afternoon the convention met at
• ~. •
'2 O'eloek. Ner Middleswatth was reported from

FROM THE RIVER PLATE
racmoole:o.rxe
The foll'owing,,addiess wai - )niaiiirnotial3r adopt
ed by the Democratic Delegates to the 4th of
March Comiention: '
FiLLOW.CITiZairtv
Having fulfilled theimportant trusts committed
bq you;: to our. Charge ,, in nominating edit: dates
to 'be supported' for , Orovnernor of , the Ccinitteci=
wealth, and Canal Coarrniiiinner,its,.October, ttext,
ue.respectfull'y submit to your examination, the
considerations that have guided us in our selection,
and which we respectfully apprehend, may have
some influence in your deCisiort. WeArre fully
convinced that the essential welfare and-liberty or
the people of this Republic are in the keening Of
the Democratic Republicanparty of this. Union
and that whenever the day' shall arrive, that that
party is finally overthrown,,and the power in this
country passes into the hands of its antagonists,
the cause of rational liberty will be extinct here.
Impressed with this conviction, we consider it our
duty, and the duty of every true Democrat and
friend to liberty, to devote his best thoughts and
his most faithful exertions .to retain and continue
power in the hands of the people, and 'to make
cry reasonable sacrifice to support that cense, to
establish and sustain which,f,oar fathirs periled
"their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor."
If there be any truth that should be written in let
tees of burning light, and be kept always before
the eyes of a people that would be free, it is this,
'that the price of liberty is eternal vigilance." It
is an important truth, verified too frequently in
the short history of this, yet favored, country, that ,
whenever the enemies of the Democratic cause
base succeeded to power, they have 'impressed
some palpable wrong upon our country—r-.intlicted
some violence upon popular rights—or left some
blot upon our institutions that years of prudent
and just administration could not efface.
r• The cruel wrong done to the soldiers and patri.
ots of our Revolution, by the iniquesus funding
system of 17SO, the alien and sedition law of 17:t8,1
and the appointment.of the midnight judges—the;
establishment of the United States Bank in ISIeS, I
which has retarded the natural prosperity of our
country, and particularly that of Pennsylvania, for I
at least fifty years; for it was upon her that the
chief calamity tell, and spread a moral blight over
our country, more pernicious in its consequences
than the taste of the forbidden manna-and-last
not least' in the catalogue, passing over many
other instances of flagrant abuses which would
be tedious and painful to recount, the passage of
the nefarious Bankrupt act of 1842,the most stu
pendous fraud that was ever solemnizeirby a leg
islative enactment, and which struck at the vitals
of morality and good faith among men. There
are some of the bitter consequences of the impru
dcnce of a free and rational people, in permitting the
rule of their destiny to fall.into the hands of those
oho hold in contempt the sacred principles of
equal rights.
Pennsylvania has had a dear bought experience
in lessons of political prudence. It now falls to
the lot of the Democratic party, and the present
generation, to repair the ravages and waste of many
years of insane, wild, and prodigal rule. In order
to do this, it will require many years of the most
patient endurance of the burdens of taxation and
EeliAenial by the virtuous yeomanry, and many
years of provident and prudent administration, un
der the guidance of the most rigid integrity, aided
by wise legislation, to redeem, our great tind good
State from her embarrassment s. But discouraging
as her condition may be, yet by a steady perseve
ranee in the policy adopted under the present Gov
ernor, the Commonwealth can be redeemed, and
restored to her former prosperity. Rigid prudence,
sound judgment and unyielding' integrity, are what
are imperatively demanded in the guidance of Our
affairs, in the present condition of our State. These
qualities distinguish, in an eminent degree, the
present Chief Magistrate of our Commonwealth .
The name of Fnascts 'R. Suus a. is intimately as
sociated in the opinions of the people of.Pennsyl
,eania,apitii,tlieideaof moral political and . honesty.
The ruffMents Poliffe'til - faititgaiiil-- morals
were acquired under the auspices of the puremind•
ed and virtuous Simon Snyder; and forty years of
faithful public service have proved the fidelity with
which be has adhered to the sound doctrines, pure
patriotism, and rigid integrity of that great and
good man. In Francis R. Shunk we see renewed
the admirable virtues of that truly excellent mag
istrate, who for nine years, through a most stormy
and trying period of our history, wielded the Ex
eeutii e destinies of our State without giving oeca
. sion to awaken the least suspicion of his integrity
=wounding in the slightest degree the prosperity
of the State, or sullying the lustre of his own pure
fame.
In these stormy days when the good ship Penn.
Sylvania is loaded down with a debt of forty Mil
lions of dollars, and while her people are ember
rasseil with a burdensome system of taxation—and
while selfish interests are seeking to embarrass tier
still more by eluding the common burdens and
casting them upon the shoulders of the indurtri•
ous yeomanry, who already are made to bear an
unequal share of the public load, it is the more
necessary that we should have a steady and skill
ful hand„.at the helm, to guide her safely through
the breakers.
Again, our country is at war with a foreign
power, and hence it becomes necessary that the
combined energy of the whole Union should he
exerted to sustain the honor and integrity of the
Republic, and bring the war, by a vigorous
prosecution, to an honorable and prosperous ter
mination. But since it is too apparent not to
admit the humiliating fact, that there is still
an infatnated party who are willing "to rise as
our county "sinks," if they must " sink as our
country rises - '--and instead of that combines!. ac
tion of all hearts and all bands in the common
cause, faction has reared its odious front to cripple
our energies, encourage the fbe, and paralyse the
arm of go'vernment,"it becomes eminently'necessa
ry that we should hale at the head of our Com
monwealth—that-Commonwealth which has been,
is now - , end ever will be, while the Union shall
last, the chief bulwark of the Republic, a man
w hose patriotism cannot be doubted—a man whose
attachment to the independence, security and glory
of the Union, is too strong he disturbed by any
calculations of political preferment by the wanton
sacrifice of the blood and treasure of the Amen. ,
cart people, to pave the way to the goal of an on,
worthy ambition. Such is Francis R. Shunk;
whose conduct in responding with alacrity to the
call of the Executive of the Union, and taking
the most vigorous measures to furnish the double
quota of troops required of Pennsylvania, is. wor
thy of all commendation.
When the present Governor first assumed the
Executive chair of Pennsylvania, her financelowere
deranged, and all her fiscal facilities were diseased
and paralysed. Immediately her resources were
examined—her means economised—a state of en
couragement and confidence was reestablished,
and credit restored. The public works have been
kept in the most efficient condition ro facilitate
transportation and awaken the energies of trade—
. shnwing a lively interest on the part of the public
agents, impelled by the example and promptitude
of the Execetive, to afford every aid to the people
in their exertions to retrieve the waste of former
years, and to relieve themselves and the State from
the embarrassments that rested on both. The in
terest on the public debt, which had been suffereti
to accumulate for many years, rolling up by a
compound ratio, and swelling the principal to the
enormons amount of about 42,000,000 of dollars,
has been regularly paid with a small deduction--
and this too accomplished through the most exem
plary promptitude and economy, aided mainly by
that healthy confidence existing between the Ex
ecutive and the people
In
the.?ineantime, the present EXecutive has
vigilantly watched over the rights of the people,'
resisting all such measures, legislative or other
wise, as were calculated to encroach upon the cam-,
mon welfare, and , to build up the partial ark] pri
vate.interests of the few, at the sacrifice of the leg
itimate interests of the many. The wisdom, pru
dence and fidelity evinced by the past acts of our
excellent Governor, are the surest guarantee for
the correctness of his future course. Besides, the
people of Pennsylvania owe it to themselves--to
their character. for a just appreciation 9f merit, as
well to what is due to a faithful Public servant, to
manifest their decided approbation by re-electing
him to the station he has filled with so much hon
or to himself and benefit to the Commonwealth.
-This mark of the approbation of a virtuous p: ogle
fur the faithful discharge of public 'duties, is "the
richest and most desirable reward that art honest

the duty, of every freeman, to-ltvow his sentiments
ias to the distinctive principles - which guide; the
two great parties, into which the people of this
country are divided. The Democratic party has
implicit confidence in the virtue and intelligence of

As you value the greatfruths _f emocracy, as

It is very apparent that the Federal Whig, party
are exceedingly anxious to tulips the ,Deinocratic

Democracy of the Union, 'upon certain points of
policy, not yet. perhaps, well understood by all, and
the imprudent agitation of Which might be fatal
to the general harmony. 11 i e object of this a.
ratting anxiety to bring about this collision, is too
apparent to need further explanation. Pennsylva
ma has no true iiitercq inconsistent with the gen
uine interests of her sister States.
Our glorious old Commonwealth hal no legiti
mate interest which should place her in a hostile
attitude towards the great Democratie family at
the Union but on the.contrary, it is respectfully
believed that it is the true policy of the Democra

with the Demotracy of the whole Union, us a
measure of crifitinion prudence and connnomsafe
ty; and we hati c u right to distrust whoever would
inculcate a different policy.
Through sane'slight errors in policy, rctinsyl

that she deserves. Yet her purposes have ever been
patriotic. By adopting a magnanimous and ele.
