It is,porbaps, noedluas to say that with all seal and fidelity will I support tho nominees of this Cohvention ; for in doing so, I shall be but uphold-, ing the same principles for which you and I, and all of us, contended last fall, in our efforts to raise to the Pre sidency the present Chief Magistrate of the United Staten, James Buchanan. Oentlemeu of tho Convention, there are among yon some, who, iu their toop&Yti&l favor, deeming, perhaps, thoy saw in mo some promise of future usefulness, have ezercisod their influence in this contest warmly in my behalf.

Resolved. That having steadily adhered nnder every disaster to the rights of the States, even when the deso lating waves of Abolitionism rolled around and over as, we cannot now withhold out warm approval of those rights, deeply involved as they arc in tho present struggle in Kansas, and Shat in the principle that the majority shall rule we behold the best assurance that States rights aro essential to Territories as well as to States. Resolved, That President Buchanan’s letter to the fanatics of Coonoctlcut, who sought to Instruct him in his duty to the Constitution, and to appeal to a sec tional prejudice in support of a sectional design we behold a manifestation of calm courage iu behalf of the constitutional rights of all the States, and a proof of. patriotic disinterestedness worthy of all the commen dation which has been showered upon him by the con servative men of all parties. Resolved, That wo regard tho election of William F. Packer, the Democratic candidate for Governor of Penn sylvania, as “ fixed fact,” and that In the almost uni versal acquiescence in the principles he advocates, and iu the policy to which, by the Convention that nomi nated him, he stands pledged, wehsre the assurance of throe years of an honest, faithful, and orthodox adminis tration of the State Government.

Fernon, from the Committee on Resolu tions. submitted the following, which were unani mously adopted: # “ Whereas, To the Democratic County Legisla tive Convention is entrusted the responsible duty of soleoting candidates for the suffrages of the Democratic party in the most populous repre sentative district in the Koystone Commonwealth, it is fitting, if not incumbent, that a body acting iu behalf of a local Philadelphia part In the great po litical organization which spreads oyer tho whole nation, moulding its laws and preserving its institu tions, a blessing to the American people and a hope— light to the older nations across toe sea—shoold em body in a eonoiseform, and express with that frank ness which is nearest akin to sincerity, its unwaver ing oonfidenoe in the Demooratio party, and the true men who, whilo its honors, laithfally ad minister the laws that reflect its power exercised in legislation: Therefore, Resolved, That in our present Chief Magis trate, James Buohanan, Pennsylvania’s presiden tial gift to the Union, through tho intrepid con stancy of the national Democracy, who constitute tho political power of the nation In the enaotmeut and execution of its laws, and in the defence and maintenance of Its Constitution, we are proud to express in words, and exhibit in aots, our un wavering confidence, and pledge to him, in the dis charge of his offioial duties and the party’s usages, our steadfast co-operation and cordial sup port “ Resolved, That as it was reserved to Pennsyl vanians to present to their countrymen a President in a political crisis, so also was it reserved to the Democracy of Pennsylvania to present to tho Democracy ef the States of the Union, a states man fostered in their affection and favor, fitted to meet and master the exigencies of that crisis, and through the doctrines of tho Inaugural Address, administered in acts of administrative wisdom and justice, slay the tumult of fanaticism, and restore peace to the States distracted with factions, and gladness to tho States blest with the conservatism of moderation; thereby tending to romako the Union a brothorhood of freemen, and winning for his country concession and consideration, oven to foreshado wed-continental rank among tho political powors of tho earth. “ Resolved, That President Buchanan’s recent keon-edged rebuko to Professor Stillman and his two score of fellow memorialists, whose first caro should be tho hoaling of their own local flocks of that fanaticism which in Yankecdom is rampant, ; elicits our heartiest admiration; because, in the President’* conclusive reply, is administered an antidote to a political virus that had insidiously penetrated into many minds that only needed such a prescription to become onoe moro national ly patriotic in sentiment andjmpolse. In that glowing executive vindication,‘too, wo behold the mastery of wise practical statesmanship in govern mental affairs, over that less comprehensive intel ligence whichcommands worthiest commendation in the walks of scionce, and in the special calling for which it is nurtured. “ Resolved, That in General William P. Packer, of Lycoming county, the Democracy of Pennsylvania have a worthy and deserving stan dard-bearer in the present State canvass; a co-worker and 00-walker In the Democratic ranks, sinco ho crossed the threshold that di vides minority and manheod; a representative who has ripened into a statesman; a political eco nomist, who understands tho laws of trade and the wants of a seaport city; a man warm-hearted, generous, and prompt—one who, in attaining to ma ture years, has attained to honorable distinction, so that one stop more will elevate him to tho chair of tho ohief magistracy of this ancient, honored, and beloved Commonwealth—the political summit of the Koystone State, and a port of distinction which is only overtopped by tho loftier attitude of tho Presidency of the United States. “ Resolved, That in Nimrod Strickland, of Ches ter county, the Democracy of Philadelphia have a near neighbor, whom they esteem as a man and approve ds a Democrat. He has our confidence ana warm wishes—bo shall have our votes and will be the noxt Canal Commissioner. “ Resolved, That in William Strong, of Berks county, and James Thompson, of Erie oounty, we hnvo two gifted minds of the legal profession, who will sustain the high intelleotual standard of tho' Supreme Court of Pennsylvania—our tribunal of last resort, and which, under tho elective polley of our State Constitution, has ever presented and pre served a pro-eminent array of intellect, acquire ment, and independence. “ Resolved , That in these four candidates on the State ticket, we hare four individuals who have ‘kopt pace with the music’ of the party, with the privates in Us ranks, and with its representa tives in positions of honor and of trust, always faith ful to its behests, true to its principles, and devoted to its objects. “ Resolved, That the circumstance that this Convention have nominated thirteen candidates on the Legislative tiokot for those Wards comprised in the old county of Philadelphia, two more than last year, and fivo moro than in JSfiO—the area and tho bounds of tho District having undergone no change, while tho ratio of representation was twice en larged—exhibits the rapid increase of population, , ana admonishes this Convention of the necessity of choosing irreproachable persons to proteot aud pro mote tho vAst interests represented by our delega tion.” On motion of Isaac Leech, Jr., the candidate in tho 12th district, John Wharton; the candidate in tho 14th district, Oliver Evans; and the candidate in the 15th district, J.

The American Pharmaceutical Convention. —This body again met yesterday morning at nine o'clock, in thqlower room of the Collego ot Phar macy, on Zane street, above Seventh. After the Convention had completed the elec tion of new officers, the roll was called by the secretary, W. J. M. Gordon, of Cincinnati. The report of tha committee on nominations was then read, after which the Convention proceeded to elect officers for the present year. The following is a list of the officers elected by the Convention: For President—Charles Ellis, Philadelphia. Vice Presidents—James Cook, Fredericksburg, Va.; 8. P. Peck, Bennington, Yt ; A. E. Rich ards, Plaqnemine, La. Treasurer—Samuel M. Colcord, Boston, Maas Recording Secrelaiy—W. J. M. Gordon, Cincin nati, Ohio. Corresponding Secretory—Edward Parrish, Phil adelphia. Executive Committee—S. S. Garriguea, Joseph Roberts. H. T. Cummings, W. H. Gilman, W. J. M. Gordon. Committee on the Progress of Pharmacy.—lsrael J. Grahame, R.H Stabler, Fred. Stearns, Engene Dupuy, Edward Parrish. The President, Mr. Chas. Ellis, of this city, was then conducted to the chair, and made a few per tinent remarks appropriate to the occasion. A report of the committee appointed to report at the annual meeting of 1857. on the subject of the sale of poisons by pharmaceutists and others, and the logal means of restraining it, was read by S. S. Garngues, chairman. The committee appointed to report on home adul terations, and to bring forward any recommenda tions in reference to the enactment by the States of laws controlling this evil whioh they deem advisa ble, eta ted through 0. B Guthrie, of New York, ebatrtnan, that no written report had been pre pa*** by them. Mr. Guthrie thought that if the devil ever had bis position on earth he had it in the subject of homo adulterations [Laughter.j He would say he had a great many facta to make known relative to this hydra-headed scheme of rascality, but that in consequence of illness he had been unable to present & report. He said be would accept the position of chairman of that com mittee for the next year, provided that any three or five gentlemen from different cities of the United States will pledge themselves to assist him in it? production. A motion was previously made that the Commit tee on Home Adulterations be discharged from the further consideration of the subject, which, on tho offer made by Mr. Guthrie, the question for recon sideration of the vote eame before the Convention. This motion was the subject of a lengthy debate, in which a number of important facts relative to tho adulteration of drugs were brought forward. A motion was fhrther made that the names of al, individuals engaged in this species of home adul terations, together with the facts of such casail might be included in the report. Mr. Guthrie thought, that if the Convention in tended to pursue that course it had better pre pare itself with a very long purse. The idea was, that tho committee should be left to report simply the fact?, and to keep the names in their hands in such a manner as would not in volve them in lawsuits. Mr. S. M. Colcord,of Boston, coincided with the views expressed by the previous speaker. He was inclined to believe that the matter would become ap individual one. and rest upon the individuals engaged in preparing the report. Dr. Edward Parrish thought that the facts of tho names being in the hands of the committee would be a publication of a nature seoond only to a newspaper report. Tho names he thought in course of time woald find a proper outlet. The motion on the publication of names was then withdrawn. 5Jr. Coloord movod that tho Convention proceed to the electiou of members to serve upon the Com mitteo on Home Adulteration?. The motion was carried, and the following named gentlemen received the endorsement of the Con vention : C. B. Guthrie, N. Y.; Albert B. Taylor Philadelphia; Chas. T. Carney, Boston ; Alpheus B. Sharp, Baltimore; Williamß.Fiake, Cleveland Ohio. * The inbjeot of home adulteration attracted much attention among the delegates. Mr. Wm. Fiske, of Cleveland, Ohio, made a statement relative to an article of Blue Mass, pur porting to be of foreign importation, which had * decided run in the Western country some time aco No one would buy anything but the English article -no one would touch anything else. Finally, the success which the article had met caused an examination to be made of it, when lo 1 two-third* of the Maas was found to consist of blue clay ’ a pound of which might be swaltowed with impunity The morning session was then adjourned: V* The Convention again met in tho afternoon h c
