THE POSITION OF THE DEMOCRAT IC PARTY—CONSTITUTIONAL IN VASIONS BY THE ADMINISTRA TION. The Democratic members of our State Legislature met in caucus, a few days ago, and adopted the following Platform in ref erence to the position of the Democratic' party on the questions which so fearfully I agitate the -public mind. Differences of; opinion were found to exist among indi-! vidnat ifiembers of the party upon these questions, and one of the reasons for an early assemblage of the State Convention, was the necessity of framing a Platform upon which all Democrats could stand.-1 This, we think, is clearly and distinctly I done in the Resolutions, and we hope in a way which will be satisfactory Co all the members of the party. We regard them as sound, correct, judicious and patriotic. Our opponents have seen the delicacy., of organizing a Constitutional opposition to an Administration during the pendency of a war,—how' readily thoughtless per- j sons confound hostility to the radical measures of the present Administracion with .! hostility to the Goverrament,--things en- I tirely different, as a moment's reflection will show ; and they have adroitly used l Ibis state of things in their bungling et-1 fort to fix the imputation 'of disloyalty Upon the Democratic party, not because that party is opposed to the restoration of the Union, nos to the prosecution ofthe 1 war for this sacred purpose by all legal and constitutional modes, but simply be cause it protests against the radical, hurt ful and unconstitutional measures resort ed to by the Adrilinistration in carrying on the struggle. Oa the other hand, Democrats here and there may have forgotten that in a Gov- ernnient of laws, the remedy for bad ru-j lere and bad laws is in the BALLOT Box,l that potent engine of a Free People. It is the only instrumentality we have for the correction of our political ills and wrongs, unlestpwe resort to Revolution, and it is too desperate and terrible an agency to be employed until submission to the consti tuted authorities and obedience to odious and oppressive laws would deprive us of Free Speech, a Free Press and a Free Bal lot, and practically transform us into the slavish subjects of usurped and despotic power. Upon the whole, we think this action of the Democratic members of the Legisla ture is wise and opportune, and supplies a need felt by thoughtful Democrats every where throughout the Commonwealth. Below are the Resolutions: Give them a careful reading:— JOINT RESOLUTIONS VP)N THE STATE OF THE COUNTRY. Resolved, by the ertate and Howse of Rep- Teseniatives, of tre Commonwealat of Penn olvania, in General Assembly met, That as our institutions are assailed by an armed rebellio9 one side, which is being met by the sword, and on the other by uncon stitutional acts of Congress and startling usurpations of power by the Executive, which we have seen by experiment, can be corrected by the ballot-box, policy as well as principle requires that our people shall await the process of reform, which is slow I but sure, and refrain from all unlawful and unconstitutional acts, which have al ready brought terrible calamities upon the country, whilst they invoke the aid of all I patriotic men to assist in averting the I evils that threaten our free institutions. 2. That this General Assembly de clares that this State has ever been, is now, and will remain in future, devotedly true to the Constitution of the United Stites, and to the Federal Government es tablished by it, and isdeterniined to main tain them, with all her •power, against domestic and foreign foes. 3. That this General Assembly recog nizes a manifest difference between the Adminietration of the Government and the Government itself. The one is transitory, limited in duration to that period of time for which the officers, elected by the peo ple, are charged with the conduct of the same ' • the other is permanent, intended by ttsfounders to endure forever. 4. That this Generel Assemby, in the exercise of its right to differ with the Fed eral Executive, enters its solemn protest against the Proclamation of the President of the:United States, dated the first day of • January, one thousand eight hundred and sixty three, by which he assumes to eman cipate slaves in certain States, holding the same to be unwise, unconstitutional, and void. 5. That this General Assembly declares that the power, which has recently been `assumed by the President of the United States, whereby, under the guise of mili tary necessity, lie has proclaimed and ex tended martial law over States where war did not exist, and has suspended the writ of habeas corpus, is_ unwarranted by the Constitution, and its tendency is to subor dinate civil to military authority, and to subvert our system of free Government. 6. That this General Assembly, on be half of the people - of this, Commonwealth, declares its determined opposition to a ityiotaerof 'emancipation by the States upon compensation to be made out of the Treas ury of the United States, as burdensome upon the peggierttnjust in its very nature, 211ftelli!liOni•IMPTIst IS the Con_ 41) to -19n. ;444.:4Vi 4 71.1441 tiiiiiienfri! Attalla* treetrait proper further to declare that it, together with all the truly loyal people of the State, would hail, with pleasure and de-1 light, any manifestation of a desire on the part of the seceeded States to return to their allegiance to the Government of the Union, and would, in•stich event, cordial-: ly and earnestly co-operate with them in the restoration of peace, and the procure-I ment of such, proper guarantees as would give security to all their interests and rights. 8. That Pennsylvania will adhere to the Constitution and the Union as the best, it may be the last, hope of popular free dom, and for all wrongs which may have been committed, or Ivils which may exist, I will seek redress und:. , r the Constitution, and within the Union, by the peaceful but powerful agency of the suffrage of a free people. 9. That this General Assembly, hails, Iwith pleasure and hope, the manifesto • • male of conservative sentiment among the people of the Northern States in their late ' elections, and regard the same as the earn est of a good purpose upon their part to co-operate with all other loyal citizens in `givingg security to the rights of every sec tion, and maintaining the Union and the Constitution as they were ordained by the founders of the Republic. 10. That in the judgment of the Gen leral Assembly, whenever it becomes prac- I ticable to obtain a Convention of all or three-fourths of the States,such body should be convened, for the purpose of proposing such amendments to the Federal Constitu tion, as experience has proved to be ne cessary, to maintain the instrument in the spirit and meaning intended by its found ers, and to provide against future convul sions and wars. 11. That while this General Assembly condemns and denounces the faults of the Administration and the encroachments of the Abolitionists, it does also most thor oughly condemn and denounce the heresy of secession as unwarranted by the Con stitution, and degrueti ve alike of the secur ity and perpetuity of the Government, and of the peace and liberty of the people, and it does hereby most. solemnly declare that the people of this State are unaltera bly opposed to any division of the Union, and will persistently exert their whole in fluence and power under the Constitution to maintain and defend it. 12. That the laws of this State must be maintained and enforced, and that it is the duty of the constituted authorities of the State to see that, by all constitutional means, this end shall be obtained. 13. That the soldiers composing our armies merit the warmest thanks of the nation. Their country called, and nobly did they respond. Living, they @hall know a nation's gratitude ; wounded, a nation's care; and dying, they shall live fit our memories, and monuments shall be raised to teach posterity to honor the pa triots and heroes who offered up their fives on their country's altar. Their wid ows and orphans shall be adopted by the nation, to be watched over and cared for as objects truly worthy a nation's guar dianship. 14. That copies of these resolutions be torwarded to the President of the United States, to the Governors of the several States, and to our Senators and Represent atives in Congress. no vote was taken upon the first reso lution, and it was passed by a strict party vote. Ur. Shannon offered the following amendment, to the second resolution : "And further, that we declare it to be our settled purpose to aid this Administra tion in all its efforts to suppress the-'re hellion." Mr. Brown, of Northumberland, moved an amendment to the amendment, by in serting the word "constitutional" before the word "efforts," wh , c,h was agreed to. The resolution then passed, and the bill was afterwards passed. WHO TELLS THE TRUTH ? Our neighbor of the " Republican" stated in substance, in his account of the Democratic meeting held in the Court House on the evening of the 17th ultimo, that Dsvin CRAWFORD, Esq.; in•hist speech on that occasion, had referred to the writ of Habeas Corpus, and denounced it.- By way of exposing the untruthfulness and general inaccuracy of the Republi can's pretended report of Messrs. Purman and Crawford's remarks, we distinctly said, in a late Messenger, that the tatter gentleman had not mentioned the writ of habeas corpus front the beginning to the end of his speech! We made the declaration on j Mr. Crawford's positive assurance of its correctness, confirmed by the statements and recollection of other gentlemen .who heard his speech and whose veracity is above suspicion. In reply to our brief word on the subject, the last Republican has the following squib : sarThe "Messenger" has undertaken to champion David Crawford, Esq. In do ing so, it perpetrates what *very one who heard his Court House speech. must know is a falsehood. But such is its element. He that would endorse such a speech, would scarcely be expected to regard the truth. As a complete answer to the above, and by way or convicting our neighbor of persistent falsehood in this matter, we pub lish the following note from Mr. CRAW FORD, which, with those who are familiar with his high character as a gentleman, will effectually dispose of oar too positive and sadly mistaken neighbor. We might multiply proofs of the fact we stated con carping Mr. Crawford's speech, but it is unnecessary. Messrs. Jones 4. Jennings :—I find, in the last issue of the "Republican," that you are charged with having published a falsehood by representing that T had not discussed or refer red to the question of the suspension of the writ of Habeas Corpus in my address to the Democracy on Tuesday evening of last Court ; and in view of the fact that I authorized you to make that statement, I should assume all the responsibility involving a question of veracity. Having discussed the Habeas Corpus ques tion at some length at December Court, in connection with the fact that Mr. Purman, who made the opening speech at the last meeting, had fully and ably arguedthe question. I deem ed it unnecessary so say anything about it, and I am satisfied that I did not refer to the subject on that occasion. However, it is fair to pre sume that the suspension of that great writ of personal liberty, in the absence of necessity, was so grossly violative of a fundamental provision of the Constitution, that some, no doubt, thought I ought to have condemned its suspension, and therefore concluded IV blend ing the remarks of Mr. Furman with those I had the honor to make, that I had done so. If any of my Democratic friends think that I am mistaken as to what I said. they have a right to differ with me, and so the matter must rest I for the present. • D. CRAWFORD.

LiZEAR'S SPEECH. The speech of Gen. !Aaiun, on the Conduct of the War, delivered in Congress on the 28th of February, will appear in our next paper. It is moderate and dig nified in tone, but cleat, forcible and pa triotic. Faithful to his oath, and to the liberties of the people, our Representative speaks out, with decision and emphasis, against infractions of the Constitution, and assaults on the personal rights and privileges of the citizen ] His speech will be read with great interest by his constituents. ONOCIATS, BE 01 YOH Gin] 111 We again admonish our Democrat- i is friends throughout the county to! be on their guard against the Aboli tion demagogues and office-hunters' who would seduce them into the' "Union Leagues" which we under- stand are being or about to be organ ized in the several townships. It is a dangerous organization, and should be denounced by all sincere lovers of the country. It concocts its plans in the secresy and silence of mid night, and under the sacred name of UNION may plot the dismemberment of the country and the overthrow of popular liberty. Beware of it, Demo crats! fold fast to your integrity, and stand by the loyal and patriotic old party with which you have hith erto been identified. It has been the bulwark of your liberties and the conservator of the Union in the past, and time will prove that it is the only political organization in the country equal to the great mission of maintaining and perpetuating our liberal and beneficent institutions Again we say, STAND BY IT You will not regret it. OUR WESTERN FRIENDS. A great many of our patrons in the West have responded, in gratifying terms, to our late calls on them for a little "ma terial aid." We trust ALL will soon settle their arrearages on subscription, and that the "Messenger" will long continue its visits to their firesides. For their words of cheer and approval Cley have our wai meet thanks, and we assure them we shall try to deserve their good opinion in the future by the same consistent devo tion to the interests of the country and of the National Democracy which has characterized the past course of the Mes senger. The cares, perplexities and re sponsibilities of editorial life are only known to those who have experie.need them ; but they are materially lightened by the kindly expressions and cordial sup port of generous and s y mpathizing pat : rons.

Please send me the full amount of my account. Money hi very hard to get here, and the present winter has been so wet and muddy that it has been impossible to haul off our grain. By the time I send your money to you I think I can send one or tio new subscribers for the Messenger; as for myself, 1 want to take it as long as I can pay for it. I send you the following song for publi- THE 6001) TIME COME AT LAST. A NEW ENGLAND ABOLITION BONG Ah, the good time has come at last !

For thirty years we've labored hard For tariff and protection, And now we dare you to retard, By setting up objection. Protection is the very thing To gratify our wishes . It brings us riches like a king, And gold and silver dishes. It makes us love you Western folks With very kind regard, For now we sell you Calico At fifty cents a yard. Once you had gold and silver, too, Flying round like rockets : But soon we made you send it through, To jingle in our pockets. While we've got plenty of the "chink," It surely looks quite funny To see you Western hoosier folk Use paste-board for your money. For Uniod, Constitution, Law, Did we not loud insist, Until we got you hooaier boys Most bravely to enlist i And now we've got you in the ranks, We cannot help bat snigger, To think that we can make you fight To help us free the nigger. Now we've got all the offices, And all the contracts, too ; This makes a glorious time for us, Though rather hard for you• For we've got Yankees, just enough, Scattered througit the West, To fill the Federal offices, And feather well their nest.

ANOTHER (80 CALLED) "UNION MEETING." The last "Republican" contains a call for "a Union Mass Meeting" at Waynes burg on Saturday, April 18th. No names are appended to the call, as it is 'well un derstood it was made at the instance of a few Abolition leaders aed wire-pullers here at Waynesburg who are anxious to ventillate their rusty and "shocking bad" oratory, and make a little capital . for their sinking party. As usual, "citizens without distinction of party" are invited to be present and witness the cat-hauling of the National Democracy, the only True Union party in the country. How many gulls will be caught in the trap re mains to be seen. Democrats who "tar tici pate in the exercises" on the occallion will of course be expected to endorse the Emancipation Proclamation and all the acts of the late Black Republican Con gress. They will also be expected to af firm that the President is the Government, that he can do no wrong, and that he and hia Abolition supporters are the only white men at the North who are entitled to a political opinion or priyilege,that all others should be "confiscated," hung, dravin or quartered. If there be any Democrats (f!) bereaway who can go such a figure and dance to such music, the approaching gathering will doubtless af ford them an elegant opportunity to throw themselves, body and breeehes, into the arms of Black Republicanism. APPROPRIATE RAMER. Democrats who accept civil appoint ments under "Old Abe," are aptly styled " Greenback Democrats." Those who court the Opposition, blow hot and cold, try to carry water on both shoulders and make great pretensions to patriotism (!) are very significantly called " Weak back Democrats." ADMITTED TO THE BAR. R. II PHELAN, Eiq., was admitted (on motion of A. A. PUT MAN, Esq.,) to the practice of the law in the several Courts of this county at the late Term. We un derstand the preliminary examination of our young friend was very creditable, and we have every confidence that his legal career will prove both respectable and successful.

A PRETTY GOOD DIVIDE, Th diepatoh►ee tell us that peieons in Washington, in position to know, state that twentylius millions of dollars have been stolen in the Quartermaster's De partm- nt within the past few months.— That ou & lit to make a pretty good divide among the thieves. They are among the warmest clamorers for a continuance of the war, and denouncers of peace men as "Butternut-Copperheads." Public virtue and regard for liberty seem to be fast dy ing out. THE BOOK RESOLUTION. The Vote-Yourself-a-Library resolution, adopted by Congress before its adjourn ment, will give to each member, between $3OO and $4OO worth of books belonging to the government, many of which have been stored in Washington for a long time. They embrace works of Jefferson, Adams and, the other Fathers, Statutes at-Large, Reports of Exploring Expedi tions, &c. A SPLENDID TIME TO DIE. The editor of the Opelousas (La.) Ban ner, in commenting on the new military law of Louisiana, which compels nearly the whole male poptlation logo into the army, is very severe on Louisiana legisla tion. He says: "In times like these it is difficult to tell whether a is the greatest misfortune to be rich or to be 'ram., to hewn old man or tb be young, to be a man or to be a womau, an American or a Turk. If a man wore right sure of heaven, this would b e a splendid time to die." _ _ PILOYQ'tED.. Ifie.jor. S. - Xturci. .11Atcy has beim pro moted to rite Voloselop of the.
