SATURDAY MORNING, FEB. 23, 1861.
DEMOCRATIC
STATE CONVENTION!
FE/DAY, Feb. 22, 1861.
The Convention met at 9 o'clock, a. m. Af
ter prayer by the Rev, Pr. NEVIN, Dr. ACKER,
of Montgomery county, moved that the pro
deeilinge of a Democratic meeting held in Mont
gomery county some time ago be read; which
motibti wee lost.
The CHAIRMAN announced the first busi
ness in order to be the report from the Com
mittee on Resolutions.
The Committee not being ready to report at
that time, R. BRUCE PETERKIN, Esq., of
Huntingdon county, moved that the Farewell
Address of the Father of his Country be read;
hick was agreed to; and at the request of the
Convention, Captain JACOB ZEIGLER, of
Butler county, read the Farewell Address of
Gen. George Washington, in his usual fine style.
During the reading of the address,
Capt.
ZIEGLER was frequently interrupted by the
enthusiastic applause of the Convention. When
those passages which allude to the feelings of
fraternal love and regard which should ever
distinguish the American people, and the equal
and even handed justice, which, we as a people,
should accord to the people of all the States,
the feelings of the Convention knew no bounds,
but burst forth in long confirmed cheering.
At the close of the reading of the address,
Mr. TATE, of Montour county, moved that
Washington's Farewell Address be published as
part of the proceedings of the Convention ;
which motion was adopted.
The Honorable ELLIS LEWIS, of Philadel
phia, Chairman of the Committee of Thirty
three on Resolutions, made his appearance on
the' stand, amidst the cheers of the Convention,
and announced that the Committee on Resolu
tions were ready to report. He prefaced the
reading of the report, in a few well-timed and
eloquent remarks. He said that the Committee,
of which he had the honor to be Chairman,
was a large Committee, as he knew it was in
tellegent (for the Convention had chosen it) It
represented all quarters of the Commonwealth,
and all shades and stripes of opinion in the
Democratic (if indeed there were any stripes
in the Democratic) party. [A voice in the
crowd--“We are all stars."] JUDGE LEWis.
Yes, you are all star Democrats. It could not
be expected, he continued, but that in a Com
mittee .composed of thirty-three gentlemen,
some difference of opinion would manifest itself
in the discussions on resolutions. There were
divisions of opinion, as there was considerable
discussion, because discussion was necessary.
That discussion lasted until about two o'clock
this morning. We had a large mass of
resolutions from all parts of the country,
to pass upon. Some from Tammany Hall,
Connecticut, and other places, besides not
a few from members of this Convention.
• a necessar • under these circumstances,
o use
from the wheat in this mass of matter furnished
from so many sources; and we did that duty
scrupulously and carefully. But lam happy
to add, he continued, that the committee were
unanimous in their recommendation. of the
resolutions lam about to submit. You will find
resolutions on all the great issues involving the
present impending difficulties that now distract
the country, and among them a resolution re
cognizing the rights of our Southern brethren,
and opposing all sorts of aggression upon those
rights,
This announcement brought the - whole Con
vention to their feet, who in three hearty
cheers gave vent to their feelings, as the true
chord had been touched that responded from the
breast of every member of the Convention.
We are sorry that we cannot, do full justice
to the eloquent remarks of the venerable
JUDGE LEWIS on this occasion. Suffice it to
say, that they were couched in language of
thrilling eloquence, and bad about them the
ring of the true Democra4ic metal.
At the request of JUDGE LEWIS, whose
voice had given out in the delivery of his in
troductory remarks, CHAS. W. CARRIGAN,
Esq., id Philadelphia, one of the Secretaries
of the Convention, read the resolutions of the
Committee in a clear, distinct and eloquent
manner.
The following are the resolutions :
Resolved, That the States of this Union are
sovereign and independent over every subject
not surrendered to the control of the Federal
Government, and they have no right to inter
fere with each other's domestic institutions,
but are bound by the Constitution of the Uni
ted States to protect and defend them against
domestic insurrection .as well as foreign inva
sion.
Resolved, That the. Government of the United
States, although limited in its authority to the
subjects enumerated in the Federal Constitu
tion, possesses within those limits supreme au
thority, and has the usual and necessary power
for preserving itself and enforcing its laws.
Resolved, That the Union of the States was
founded by the wisdom of our patriotic aneee
tors—is sanctioned by the experience of our
whole political existence, and has secured to
us unexampled prosperity at home and respect
abroad. The Democratic party will cling to
it as the last hope of freedom, and as the great
experiment in self-government, which is to
light the nations of the earth to liberty and
independence.
Resolved, That the Democratic party possess
the recuperative power which nothing but in- •
tegrity can give, and is determined to sacrifice
on the altar of patriotism all individual inte
rests and past dissensions, and unite as a band
of brothers to rescue the country from the con
trol of those who are seeking its destruction ;
that this country, with the beet form of gov
ernment that ever was devised, is surrounded
with dangers and difficulties which threaten its
very existence ; and yet the Republican party
refuse all reasonable terms of compromise. and
their leader on his way to take possession of
the Ctovernment, seemingly satisfied with the
disastrous culmination of his "irrepressible
conflict," declares "there is nothing going
wrong."
Resolved, That the people of the Southern
States contributed their eiertions and treasure
in, the acquisition of the territories equally
with those of the other States, and that the
principle which recognizes the equal rights of
all the States to the same is founded on .the
clearest equity and supported by the decision
of the highest court of the country. It:ought,
therefore, to be sustained by every law-abiding
citizen, until a satisfactory dividing .line can
be settled, by an . amendiaent of the Constitu
tion. •
Resolved, That. every State is bound by the
Constitution Of the United States to aid in deliv
ering up fugitive &Attires to their owners,
legislalion which tvitiolds such aid or.
throws obstacles in the_way, is, unconstitritional
and !should be repealed, and suitiible l eirkqments
substitufed in acc0i . 44460' with the federal
duties of the respective States.
Resolved, That the resolutions offered in the
United States Senate by the . patriotic Senator
from Kentucky, and known as the Crittenden
plan of compromise, present a satisfactory
basis for the adjustment of our difficulties. The
measures therein specified are wise, just and
honorable—calculated to end the present de
plorable agitation and prevent forever its re
currence. We commend this plan or something
similar to patriots—men of business—work
ing men—political parties—to the people every
where; and we call upon all who love their
whole country and desire to preserve it, to rally
to such plan of compromise and carry it through.
Resolved, That we will, by all proper and le
gitimate means, oppose, discountenance and pre
vent any attempt on the part of the Republicans
in power to make any armed aggression upon
the Southern States ; especially so long as laws
contravening their rights shall remain unre
pealed on the statutebooks of Northern States,
and so long as the just demands of the South
shall continue to be unrecognized by the Re
publican majorities in those States, and unse
cured by proper amendatory explanations of
the Constitution.
Resolved. That in the dignified and prudent
reeeire of the southern border States, and in
their conciliating overtures, we recognize the
saifii patriotic purposes which animated the
Fathers of the Republic; and that an appeal
to the people of Pennsylvania will manifest their
hearty concurrence in all reasonable and con
stitutional measures for the preservation of the
Union, con sistently with the rights of all the
States.
Resolved, That the conduct of the present
Governor of Pennsylvania, is confining exclu
sively his selection of Commissioners to the
Peace Conference to the Republican party, and
excluding 230,000 freemen of Pennsylvania
from any representation in that body, was the
act of a partizan, and not a patriot.
Resolved, That we are in favor of the imme
diate repeal of the 95th and 96th sections of
the Penal Code of Pennsylvania—except so far
as relates to the crime of kidnapping—because
said sections stand in the way of a strict en
forcement of the fugitive slave law.
After the reading of the resolutions was
finished, P. C. SHANNON, Esq., of Pittsburg,
moved that the report of the Committee be
adopted by the Convention standing up ; which
was done; and the report of the Committee was
adopted with three hearty cheers that made the
welkin ring—not a voice dissenting.
R. BRUCE PETRIKIN, Esq., of Hunting
don, moved that a committee of seven be ap
pointed to proceed to Washington City and de
liver copies of the report of the Committee of
Thirty-three to the President and Vice Presi
dent of the United States, our Senators and
members in Congress, and also a copy to each
of the members of the Peace Congress now in
session at Washington City. This resolution
was amended so as to increase the Committee
to thirty-four; which carried.

ALTARS OF HEAVEN AND lIARTE 42
PEEINi
We ride through the An-tin gate, and. keep
straight on until we come in sight of the wall
of the Chinese city, when we turn to the right
by the yellow-tiled wall of the Emperor's
Palace, and strike through the Ching-yang
gate, alias Tseen-mun, and find ourselves in the
Chinese city. We keep along the main road,
and pass right down towards the gate on the
southern side, opposite the Yung-tih-mun.—
But before we reach this gate, we find ourselves
in an open space, with a large walled encloser°
on each aide, the left of which contains the
Altar of Heaven, or Tien-tan---the right, the
Alter 9f Earth, or Te-tan. These sacred spots
are never trodden by aught save the Emperor
and his high Mandarins ; to all others the right
of entrance is denied.
We were admitted through a side door into
the large waste park in the first enclosure of
Heaven's Altar. The grass was all dried up,
and the trees for the most part leafless, so the
place presented a batten appearance. The
gateway and walls were tiled with green tiles.
The roadway led under some cedar trees to a
small enclosure, in which were several build
ings, the refreshment hall among others ; and
in the centre a somewhat conically shaped
structure, covered with purple tiles and sur
mounted by a golden knob. This turret was
situated on a broad circular terrace of marble,
which dropped to two other narrower terraces,
and then to the ground, by means of steps.—
The central series of steps, facing the south,
had each flight divided by a large tablet, carved
either with dragons or phcenixes on its face.
Up this the Spirit of Heaven ascends into the
temple. The series of steps on the right is
consecrated to the Emperor's celestial footsteps
alone, and the series on the left to the *ands
rine that ascend with him.
In like manner, there were three entrances
to the temple, one large central portal for the
Spirit to enter, and two side ones for the Em
peror and his Mandarins. The floor of the
temple was paved with black marble, and facing
the central doorway a raised platform of white
marble, with steps leading down. At the back
of this was placed a black throne, whereon the
Spirit of Heaven is supposed to sit in majesty.
A table with an incense-burner stood in front
of it, and a large offering stand in front of that
again. On the right side of the temple were
four thrones, and on the left four, all with in
cense-burners before them. These were dedi
cated to the eight canonised monarchs of the
ruling dynasty.
On New Year's day his Imperial Majesty,
with a select cortege, proceeds in great pomp
along the paved road leading From his palace to
this temple, which he enters up the right flight
of steps, through the right door. The two
other doors are throwil open to the admission
of Heaven and the favored sons of earth. In
cense rises in clouds from each altar, a slaugh
tered bullock is placed on the stand as the
pledge offering, and the Son of Heaven, retiring
backwards from the incense he has placed on
the altar, descends the steps, prostrates himself
On the floor, and with nine kowtows acknow
ledges, for once throughout the rolling year
that there is a being superior to himself. The
thanksgiving over, the bullock is taken outside
end burnt, and the choice assembly retire to
We' Ounktuevatratt."lrtrvet"thearate are laid
Out ready to satiate the Imperial
cheer the Imperial heart. The procession then
return with all the pomp it came.
We found the place much neglected, woods
covered the marbled terraces, and dust the
heavenly temple, but our guide took the trou
ble to assure us that all things were put into
order before the advent of each new year.
We then crossed the road, and by another
sidedoor entered the enclosure of the Altar of
Earth. Here there was again a large waste
park 'speckled with trees, and on the left a
smaller walled enclosure with buildings, many
of which were in gad repair. About the cen
tre of the place.stood a square terrace of mar
ble, raised some five feet above the level of the
ground with steps on each side. In front of
this was the land cleared year after year by
the Imperial plough. On the right, among
some trees, was raised another marble terrace
with incense-burners ; and in the rear, the
halls of refreshment. It is during the feast of
Tsing-ming, in third moon, that the Emperor
favors this spot with his august presence.—
Incense is burnt on the altar, and he proceeda
with his Imperial hand to " guide the well used
plough, to lend his shoulder and commence the
toil."
The feat is proclaimed to the world by the
blowing of trumpets and a great hullabulioo.—
He is said to break the soil for the third of a
" mow." He then ascends the central terrace,
and on a throne brought there for the purpose,
contemplates the attempts of his Princes as
they work each one his mow's breadth. At the
conclusion of this rustic farce, the banquet-hall
is cheered by the celestial smile, and leave
taken as before. "Then through the field the
sowet , stalks, and liberal throws the grain into
the faithful bosom of the soil ; the harrow fol
lows harsh, and shuts the scene." Wheat and
Indian corn are usually sown on these occa
sions, and the produee, of the small plots stored
in the Imperial garner.
Considering the bragging accounts given by
natives of these two famous temples, we were
much disappointed in our visit to the Altars of
Heaven and Earth. Like everything Chinese,
they bear the stamp of tinsel, and do well to
contemplate at a distance. A close inspection
betra s their baser metal.
REVENUE AND TAXATION Or ENGLAND,.—The
whole net revenue of England for the year
ending December 31, 1860, amounted to £71,-
067,495—ab0ut equal, in round numbers, to
$860,000,000. This is but the net amount.—
The cost of collection, estimated at an average
of 8 per cent., would make the gross amount
of English taxation £77,700,000, or $888,600,-
000, to be paid by a population smaller than.
our Own, aro' the majority of them much
poorer. This vast amount is raised thus
Customs, £23,000,000; excise, £19,000,000;
stamps, £2,250,000; taxes, £3,000,000; post
office, £3,500,000; crown lands, £250,000 ;
miscellaneous items, nearly £2,000,000; and
property tax nearly £8,000,000. Yet, immense
as this amount is, it falls short nearly throe
millions pounds of meeting the year's expendi
ture. It is estimated that the late war with
China will cost England 05,000,000. In return
for which she gets indemnity to the amount of
$7,50%
000, in instalments running on for.sev
eral years. This is a profitable speculation for
John Bull, but the poor tag-payers have to
foot the bill.
