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,

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.

GEN. 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.
Belot are a brace of letters just re
ceived from old friends in the West:—

cellent paper, and I will pay you as fast
as I can. I don't want to do without it.

portunity to say that I want you to bear

scription to the Messenger till the let 'of

of my indebtedness by a citizen of your
county. 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 !
New England rules the nation ;
And now we've got you "hoosiers" faet,
In spite of all creation.
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.
In two leers more we'll make enough
To satisfy our pride ;
And then we'll to to one and :

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.

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,

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
