Snbject to the Decision of the Democratic
National Convention.
PROCEEDINGS:
DEMOCRATIC STATE COXYESTIOX.
, The Democratic State Convention met
yesterday at National Guards' Hall. Its pro
ceedings were characterized by the greatest
enthusiasm and harmony. Every portion
of the Slate was represented, and the dele
gates were marked men, the principal citi
zens of this great Common wealth. All
were bent on one great object the restore
tlon of the Union, and the vindication of
the Constitution. The great Democratic
fjarty was oat in its strength, and every et
ort was madeto rescue this great Common
wealth from the tyranny under which ' it
groans. One consideration surmounted all
others. Personal feelings and predictions
were forgotten in order to form a united par
ty for the salvation of the country. The
Democracy will go into the coming cam
paign with a united front, to meet, the com
mon enemy. : ,
THE CONVENTION CALLED TO ORDER
- At 12 o'clock noon .the Convention was
called tq order by Charles J. Biddle, Esq.,
Chairman or the Democratic State Central
Committee, in the following words t
In conformity with custom as Chairman
of the Democratic State Central Committee,
t now call the Convention to order. A mo
tion for temporary organization will now be
in order.
Mr. V. E. Piollet, of Bradford, moved that
Mr. T. B.'Searight, of Fayette, act as tem
porary Chairman of the Convention.
The motion was agreed to
Messrs. Y. E. Piollet, of Bradford, and
IV m L. Hirst, of Philadelphia, were desig
nated to conduct the temporary. Chairman
to the chair.
. REMARKS OF THOS- B. SEA RIGHT
Upon assuming the chair. 'Mr. Searigal
addressed the Convention as follows:
" GssTLf mm of thk Cokvention : I am
at a loss 40 find words that would be ade
quate for the expression of my gratitude to
yon for the high honor you have conferred
upon me. I am one of those who believe
that the maintenance of our Constitution
tnd the restoration of oor Union depend
spon the application of Democratic princi
pies in the administration of the Govern
ment applause ; tberetore, to be called
upon to preside over the deliberations of a
Democratic State Convention I esteem one
Of the highest honors that can be conferred
upon any citizen. My obligations, gentle
men, are greatly increased when I reflect
that in assigning me this position you hava
passed by ao many others who are more
worthy of it and better qualified to discharge
the duties it imposes. .
Bai, gentlemen, yoo will pardon me if I
transgress upon yocr time for a moment
looger. It has been solemnly announced
by a Senator of the United States, high in
the confidence of the National Administra
tion, that ihe liberties of the people are
raore in danger Irom the unholy schemes
and peculations of the cormoranta who harg
"about the public treasury, than from the
armed enemies ol tne union, ureai ap
plause In addition to this startling dis
closure, made bj one who was authorized
to speak for the men in power, it is ao on
deniable fact that the National Administra
tion has ruthlessly overthrown all the wise
safeguards of the Constitution, and broken
down all the sacred bulworka which guard
lbe liberties of the people. These facts,
gentlemen, are a sufficient reply to the
common assertion of our opponents, that
this is not the time for, and that the Demo
cratic party, as a party, should not encour
age the holding of political conventions.
I "hold thai in view of the events that are
every day transpiring, it is the imperative
dnty of the people to meet together, to take
counsel for ihe,safety of their cooatry aod
themselves. Applause. I trust that un
der Providence the measures to be inaugu
aled here to-day, by this Convention, will
be crowned with ultimate success. AnS
although the future prosperity of oar coon
try seems beset with doubt and darkness, I
ardently hope that we may all live to again
enjoy the immeasurable blesings ot the
Constitution as it is, and the Union aa it
was. Long continued applause.
' 1 again thank you, gentlemen, for the
high honor which yon have been pleased
to confer upon me.

REMARKS OF GEORGE D JACKSON.
Dnring the calling of tbo roll of dele
gates, some confusion was occasioned with
reference to the contested seat of Mr. John
F. Means, of Tioga County. Mr. George
D.Jackson, the contestant, withdrew his
claim to the seat, in the following words :
Mr. Chairman : I claim that the County
of Sullivan is honestly and fairly entitled to
the delegate at tbia time. I hold, sir, the
credentials which entitle me to a seat in
this Convention, bot 1 feel as if the harmo
ny ot the party, not only of my Senatorial
District bat of the whole State, is of greater
importance to my individual self, thap a
position on tb'ra floor; I have therefore in
formed my friends, who told me they would
stand by me anil, who desired me to insist
upon my claim to a aeat, that 1 respectfully
declined to be a contestant for a aeat in this
Convention. (Great applause.)
Beyond this there was not a siRgle con
tested seat.
Mr James M. Reynolds was unanimous
ly admitted in place of Mr. Daogherty, of

the officers. The Convention was appeal
ed to by Judge McCalmoni, of Venango, to
bury all personal feeling, and to recur to the
old time principles or jenerson.
Mr. J. Glancy Jones, of Berks, said he
believed no one wished a contest about offi
cers. He said he desired it to be under
stood that whatever that Committee report
should be unanimously agreed to by the
Convention. (Applause)
Mr. Jones's proposition .was accepted by
the mover of the resolution.
Mr. Galbraith, of Erie, opposed tlje mo
tion to select a committee. He thought the

nent President lUelL

miitea. Ha wished only to prevent undue
haste. He appealed eloquently for barmo
nr in the convention. .

of order, that the motion to appoint a com
milieu was out of order. It was decided
not well taken.,
Much debate" ensued on Ihe motion.

Question.

of Clearfield, made a motion to adjoutn
nntil to-morrow (Friday) morning- at 10
o'clock. " ' " ;
Mr. Samuel G. King, of this city, opposed

tion had but little more o do, and conld
easily perform the duties' to-night. Bo
eides, to-morrow) Friday) ': was sacred
day, which was everywhere observed, and
ha boped would be by the present anetn-blage.
Rufus E. Shaply, of Cumberland, said he
understood the Committee on resolutions -conld
not agree, and would not be able to
report to-night, and he -therefore, hoped an
adjournment would take place.
Mr. King said if the Committee could not

The motion to adjourn was finally with
drawn. A proposition was tben made (bat the
Convention proceed to elect -electors at
largewhich was lost.
A motion was made that a committee of
three be appointed to call on the committee
on Resolutions. -
REMARKS OF WM. A. WALLACE.
A motion was made that Wm. A Wallace,
l Clearfield, address the Convention. This
was as reed to amidst loud applause, and
Mr. Wallace stepped to the front andspeke
substantially as lortows ;:
We are about entering upon a campaign
that required upon the part of each individ
ual nrember of the Democratic party the
exercise of the highest, the noblest, and the
sternest qualities a campaign that would
require of each Democrat to forget tiimvelf
and to reaoember onlyhis country, in which
Democrats must sink expediency, and stand
upon principle as upon the eternal bills;
in which the man who failed to remember
tfeat the highest duty was to his conntry,
and who became nerveless and dispirited
in view ot the immense dangers and re
sponsibilities that surround him would sink
into utter forgetfulness a campaign that
would require of each pitrio tic citizen the
exercise of utter self-denial.
In reply to the new doctrine which had
been urged in certain quarters, that it was
no: the business of the citizen to discuss the
propriety of the acts of the National Ad
ministration, but that he should qoielly sue
comb, the speaker contended that while the
duty of citizenship was to maintain the law
in its integrity and support the powers that
be within the pale of the law, it was a viola
tion ol that duty for any American freeman
to grovel in the dirt at the foot of any man ;
and in the name of a qrarter of a million of
American citizens in our good old Common
wealth, he despised and spat upon the doc-
trine. It was a doctrine that would entirely
prevent all inquiry into, the conduct of the ,
war, that would bind the people band and
foot and leave them in the power of a centr-
alized despotism at Washington for all time (
to come for admitted once it would be
perpetuated for all time to come. The his-j
tory of all rebublics furnished abundant and
uncontrovertable evidence that the self
abasement of the people has slowly, silent -ly,
but surely heralded -the approach of
despotism. '
In referring to the general features of the
policy of the Administration at Washington,
the Speaker referred particularly to the last !
act of that Administration, whereby in en
deavoring to secure three electoral votes in
Florida, it sacrificed the lives of hnndredsof
our gallant soldiery. This was but a single
instance; bot it was a symbol of the policy
of the Administration. Such a policy could
not and would not be sanctioned by the
people. In 1861, the Administration bad a
policy that was acceptable to tha entire
country, and to approve and carry ont, which
volunteers flocked to the nation's standard
from every section of the North. If that
doctrine had been followed, we would to-
day, have none of the results now so dis-
tressingly upon u
The Speaker then briefly recapitulated
the position of himself and his fellow Sen
ators in the recent contest with reference lo
the Speakership of the Senate, at Harris
burg For two months they had stood de
terminedly and unitedly in resistance to an
attempted dethronement of the Constitution
of Pennsylvania and had by every means
in their power endeavored to prevent the
inauguration of a principle that was indi
rect contravention of the Constitution of the
Sute. The position assummed by them
had been vindicated and the opposition
had been compelled to yield the entire
question at issue, thus vindicating the Con
stitution and nobly vindicating the Demo
cratic party of Pennsylvania.
In conclusion, Mr. W. paid a glowing
tribute to the gretl and enduring principles
of Democracy, and enjoined his hearers to
remember that North of Mason and Dixon's
line were a million and a half of stern,
noble, patriotic souls, whose highest am
bition waa to preserve the institutions that
had descended to them from the fathers of
the country.
REMARKS OF HENRY G. SMITH.
Oh motion Mr. Henry G. Smith, of Ven
ango county, was invited to address the
meeting. He stated that this was the first
time in hi life he had ever addressed the
Democracy of Pennsylvania under the pres
ent circumstances with which they were
entrounded. They had been here engaged
in directing a campaign which was to roll
ont the great events of a coming future
They came here under their old, and with
their old principles they planted them
selves as a party squarely on the Constitu
tion. Applause. We allowed no latitude
of area of the instrument, but were for the
Constitution first as our fathers made it. As
long aj this doctrine waa followed the coun
try prospered and was happy. That Con
klitution gave to the general Government
certain powers all others were left to the
States themselves and under the Demo
cratic rule there was no difficulty in running
the Machinery. Unfortunately they had
split among themselye and allowed the
present power to gain the ascendency. And
npon the breaking oat of the war, when the
flag- was fired upon, where did you find the
Democracy 1 All over the country making
war speeches they being then willing to
upport the administration so long as they
auhered to the Constitution. App anie.
Ha believed that by the force of moral
nasion and the arguments ihey could bring
to bear noon the masses of the people of
the npri?btness,of their canse, the Democ-
tacy would be successiot in tne coming con
test. Applause.) .v
J. K. Kerr also addressed the Convention
After a lew preliminary remarks, he said
the very temple of, liberty, reared by our
fathers, i crumbling around us, until to-day
we feel that we live under a despotism of
forca. The physical energies of tha Go
ernment had decided the election of last
fall, and 'they were determined to use the
same power in the coming campaign. He
called upoo the Democracy to labor earn
estly towards a restoration dl;the Union
Mr. McCalmont offered the 'following res
olution, which was received with great ap
plause. It was referred to the Committee
on Resolutions.
Retolbtd, That this Conveniion cordially
unite with 'the Conservative party of the
cou-nrry in presenting the name of General
George B. McClellan as our first choice for
President of the United States.
Mr. Carrigan moveJ the following, which
was received with applause, and also refer
red to the Committee ou Resolutions
Resolved, That tie Pennsylvania delegation
to the Chicago Convention be instructed to
vote as a unit upon every question coming
before that body.
Mr. Jamison offered the following which
was also referred to 'lfce same Committee.
.Resolved, That the Committee on resolu
tions be instructed to report sentiments for
the sanction of this Convention endorsing
and approving of the course of the Demo
cratic members of the State Senate during
the present session, and tendering to them
the thanks of the law abiding people of the
Stale, for the firmness, zeal, and ability
with which they resisted and finally over
threw the arbitrary and revolutionary doc
trines set up by the Abolition members of
that body, to the effect that the Senate is a
permanently organized body, and that the
election of a Speaker at the organization of
the legislature is a useless formality.
Charles W. Carrigan was next called upon
He alluded to the experiments of certain na
turalist on the grinding power of a turkey's
pizzar .yhich reminded him very much of
the great grinding power of this" Administra
tion, Laughter and applause which had
deprived them one by one of their civil
rights.
Fur some tirre Mr. Carrigan continued in
this strain, his remarks being received with
shouts of laaghter and jpplaii4).
MR WITTE'S REMARKS.
The President. .William H. Witte, was
called upon. He thoaght he saw what the
feeling of the Convention was. There is in
this community a sentiment which he was
very sorry to see, and that feeling was that
we bad bot little to hope for success, when
we had every cne to believe onr efforts
would be successful. He beiieved, and
was almost sure that the Democracy would
be victorious in the coming-struggle, on
which depended the future prosperity of the
country. He tr usted that there was yet
that trait of the Democracy that knowing
their tights they, dare maintain them. We
are to speak and say a free ballot shall not
be interfered with by the military or the
Federal power. Applane.j The latter
instead of invading our rights should as the
ruling power ' protect-them. How many
men have we given, and how much money
to put down this rebellion. Is this process
j to go on a process by which Northern
j men and S'.rtes are to be enslaved . In this

if necessary, be prepared to act. Ap
plause. What Pennsylvanian who knows her his
tory, but does not blush for her condition?
How long are we to be trundled along in
the wake of power 1 What are we to do to
assert our rights ? To-day we would have a

a fraud t ft will be for the Democratic
party in this canvass to say what it will do
That it will be true to itself and act with
determination and courage is my earnest
belief and prayer. Applause
