Whito.the Committee wero drafting rcs-olu-ions,
Maj. S; F. Headley addressed the
meeting by invitation. Ills address was
such C3 mot tho hearty rosponso of all in at
tendance, and was alike creditable to the
" he-.d and heart of tho speaker:
Upon the conclusion of Mr. Ileadley's
remarks, the committee reported tho follow
ing prcambie.and resolutions, wbiqh were
unanimously adopted.
In times like the' present, it behooves ev
ery democrat to be np and doing, as tlie en
emy are at work, and no exertions, on their
part, will bd omitted, that aro calculated .to
injure the principlcsor policy of tho de
mocratic party, the only safe guard to the
rights of the people. Money, the all pat
ent power, is distributed with an unsparing
hand. Newspapers, handbills and pamph
lets are circulated gratis, into every family,
filled with tho most unfounded statements
and the mmt rediculous charges against the
Geneial ar.d State Administration which no
party would have the hardihood to make un
less thoy held, as tho present whig party
appear to do, the infelli gence of the peoplo in
utter contempt. But it is not the whig parly
alono, whom we have tn fear in the coming
contest for county officers. Men iii whom
the democratic patty have heretofore had
confidence, and who have been sticklers for
regular nominations, and some of whom,
presented their names to the democratic
county Convention for aiomination,are now
endeavoring to destroy tho regular nomina
ted tipket. Some by running against it, and
other Secretly and openly assisting and urg
ing them onward. These arc the foes from
whom you have the most to fear. Any one
of them by their hypocritical professions of
friendship, cn do more injury', than a doz
en open and avowed enemies. Then let
every democrat mark them, and turn a deaf
ear to c.tery attempt to break into the ticket
let it come from whatevei quarter it may.
Therefore.
Resolved That wc recognise in the. ad
ministration of MARTIN VAN BUREN,
tQe principles carried out in thedaysof the
tho apostle of democracy Thomas Jeffer
eon, and that wo feel a pride, as Americans,
in giving him all the praise ho so justly
merits, and that we will use all fair and hon
orable means in our power to secure his re
election. Resolved That in the, person of Col
R. M. JOHNSON, wo recognise our conn
tyr'si gallant defender, when her soil was
invaded by her common enemy. And as
he defended our soil in lime of danger from
a foreign foe, we will now defend him from
the attacks of his domestic enemies, an
re-instate him the second office in the gift
of tho people.
Resblveil That our confidence in the a
bility cf DAVID' R. PORTER to admin
jslerthe affairs of this commonwealth, re
main undiminished, and that we will rebuke
with the strong arm of democrats, iivery at
tempt from whatever quarlvr to injure hi
renomioation and ro-cleciinn.
Resolved That our oounty tiekot bavin
been fairly and honorably nominated, and
being composed of good and trua mn, an

For tho Columbia Ucrfetfat.
Mn. Webb Among the many; and great
duties which the. Democratic party, -owe to
itself, to. the purity of Its principles, and to
the country, tliere can scarcely be one more
imperious, than' thai oT pltcinjj the very
best men they have, 5iefore Oi'e' people frtY
their suffrage's. A contrary ujage hu$, here-,
tbfore too frequently involved us it diffictil
ties which haie only been overcome, by
lime and the utmost circumspection. " What
but a dereliction fr.om.lliv duty, on former.''
ucctis'ioris, has placed Ponnsyl vMiUn", once,
so towering in wealth and bosted lndepa.it
donee, in hor prelent humbled coilditloiV?
But'recentty hef resources were' mnQlsur
abtti, and her command over thorn, was U3
unquestioned, us it'' was .tinlimited. Still
inoro recently.sho has, lluoogh tho ftudity,'

ture of supplication to Iter iijomcuiiiStitu
hti , t'cni.yivr.r.ia is
tions; for, the very means, of her continued
existence as an Independent JSjate. Even,
;it the present moment, tho .Banks, those
deadly foes of Democratic equality, are tri
iiinphing.in the prostration of the energies
of the State ahd wiclking her destinies, by
tho magic potency which dwells ainon?
their directorial boards'.
Such a stato of things, certainly ought
not to exist, It is" indeed as humbling to
pride, as it is mortifying to integrity to con1
template it. , But the fault, In ' a measure,
belongs to ourselves, and with us too, rest3
the coireption. A compurgation must be
pcil'qrmed in our primary assemblies. To
these bodies, too little consequence is at
tached by the great mass of the people!
And yet hero is laid the corner stone, on
which the great superstructure of political
power Is afterwards to be reared. How are
they conducted ? Too often some tinselled
demagogue, who has little more than the
glittor of his Buttons' tn recommend him,
becomes enamoured of office, and with on
ly Q'lixotic greatness, hunts up, some half
n dozen Tanchos, in a few election districts,
and by dint of some coaxing, and perhaps
a little treating, induces them to elect dele
gates to a nominating convention, who shall
place him before the people, as a fit candi
date for their suffrages. The duty of sup
porting regular nominations, thence become!
almost imperative, and too frequently, in
this way, arc men foisted into Legislative
seals, who have not a single .idea of tho na
ture or importance of the dutirs thoy are
chosen to perform, and in whom, every
qualification, essential to a Legislator, who
would sustain the interests, or increase tho
dignity of tho State, are. when loo lalo.
found to bo wanting. What, but causes
like these, have produced the disgraceful
cenes which have been enaclcd at Harris-
b'.ug, during; the last four Sessions of the
legislature? Previous (o the Election of
1830, the evils which required correction.
were well understood by the people, and
they were led to tho belief that they were
electing representatives who understood.and
would havo the independence to apply the
needed correction. How irruuslv ihev Im
been disappointed, how cgregiously their
confidence has been abused, history now
icii us. -
