On taking the chair, Mr. Bruce made a few
remarks, thanking the Convention for the honor
conferred in selecting hint - as the presiding offi
cer, which ho appreciated more highly from the
circumstance that he was comparatively a new
member of the Democratic Party. Ho felt the
Convention was one of the - most important over
held, Goad hoped every delegate would perform
the duty ho owed to his party in a manner that
world give satisfaction to the whole county, and
in snob a way as to choke down all opposition.
Ile hoped they would nominate a ticket, that all,
without reference to former political differences,.,
coulifittlly,to the support of. Three years age,
the Democracy had fought nobly against a party
which had attempted to Interfere with rights
guaranteed by the Constitution, and now when,
the moat important question that eon inierest us
aa property holders and tax pryers, is forced
upon no, they would meet it with a- much firm
near. The people would thank the tic:moor:Ale .
partylo secure them from excessive Zar.p.tion—
t) preserve their homesteads, and it- was the
policy of this Convention to canform to the will
of the people in this reppzzt, if they deserve
success.
Col. Jae. A. Gibson lived that a. Committee
Of fifteen be appointed t i d prepare ret3olations,

Mr. Sproul pre:cnted a communication from;
don. Chas. Sealer, which he desired read.on e
Col. Gibsjected, and asked that it be

over until the nominations were_made.
Mr. Sproul insisted, and made a motion to have
it read, which was carried.

with overy sentiment of right and justice that ought

establicita, we may bo ablo to evade the county and

have g'overned me for half anentury, ao to be found
in the ranks of those (let themthemwelvei Dem.

sume) who sustain the doctrine.
2. As regards the Lecompton question, which is new
a dead letter as a matter of practical influence, I hsvo
no hesitation in saying that I consider the course of
the President upon the subject as dictated by wis
dom, sagacity and patriotism, and that the opposi
floe of Mr. Douglas and his friends was factious and
unwarranted by the wastes of the party—that it has
tended to create confusion in the Democratic ranks,
and may lead to the ultimate defeat of the party.
That Mr. Douglas has shown himself recreant to his
own principles, and after taking the wind out of
Gov. Walker's sails, has run his own bark plump
ashore on the quicksands of Black Republicanism, on
which I sincerely hope be will remain a long time be
fore the Democracy will assist in getting his political
ship again afloat.
3. As to the tariff, I assume the dootrino of Gen.
Jackson upon this subject, that the c .untry in en
titled to a judicious tariff, which mean', as I under
stand it, a tariff that whilsb:it furnishes an abundant
revenue, incidentally protects home interests. lam
of the opinion that , the, present
. tariff of dutieS re•
quires revision, and that a propeitivision of it would
encourage, and ought to encourage, domestic manu
facture. gy views on the subject wore given at
largo in sh address published amongst the proceed•
ings of the convention of iron . manufacturers, which
assembled , ' at Pittsburgh ; dome :years since. ad
here to those principles now, and as at the time they
were given I had no political aspirations, I trust
what I now say will not considered as a mantle
put on for the purpose of covering polical tergiver-
eations or procuring voles.
If, with the expression of these sentiments upon
the several subjeeta sclers,/ upon, I can receive the
votes of the Convention for Congress, I ti ball be grti
fled with such an expression of your confidence in my
political integrity. I think I shall always Lo found
by the public upon the platform on which I place my
self In this letter. If other counsels should prevail,
I shall feel no solicitude for myself, but much for the
union of the Democratic party, and es I have labored
for a long period in sustaining that union, I shell
never favor it, as I have never heretofore permitted
any private personal disappointment to swerve me
from my course of political independence.
The Dcmooratio party and its prosperity, which is
the prosperity of this groat country, and the perpitn
ity of the Unior, shall ever be dist, midst and lest in
my mind—my maxim esto.perpeiva—and I feel con

that the temporary obscuration will only tend to in

The chairman announced that the last Con
vention had recommended that the delegates be
instructed as to how they shallvote in Conven-
tion.
Mr. Sproul( moved that Ivhen the Convention
proceed to vote for candidates that they shall
vote by marking, 33 usual.
It was moved by Col. Gibson to amend by vo•
rig viva cora
CoL Gibson thought that the latter plan would
greatly expedite business.
Dr. G. H. Keyser concurred with him iu a few
appropriate remarks.
The question was then taken on the amend
ment and carried, as was also the original mo
tion as amended.
Col. , AriVabo offered a resolution, concerning
teaution, which - was referred to the Committee
on resolutions.
The Convention non. •..-.djourued until uue
o'clock.
At one o,clock the Convention re-assembled
and was called to order by the President.
Mr. Gibson, chairman of the committee ;. , n
resolutions, reported the following _preamble
and resolutions, which he said, had received the
unqualified approval of each member of the com
mit-teen.
WHEREAB, The rights of-property aro fundamen
tal, and cannot ba constitutionally taken without
compensation to the owner, and that its seizure for
Railroad purposes is not taxation, but blunder—one
being tho right to take a fractional part for purposes
of government, which is only another name for pro
tection, and the other the claim of a right to take
the whole for any purpose whatever, which is de ,
struotive of all government. That these questions
are practical ones, and for abuses like these the rem
edy is with the people themselves, in passive resist
ance and the employment of the ballot box. That
there is no question within the province of a County
Convention more legitimate then this, and none moro
depending, which touches the people of this county
so nearly or so deeply. That to enforce these rights
and redress these 61311802, we will support no man for
office of any kind, who will consent to bo made an
agent for using the property of the people in this
way, or who entertains the opinion that this thing
can be lawfully or constitutionally done.
Asn, Winaxes, Through the intrigues and appli
ances of Railroad agents and bondholders, the Tax
payers of Allegheny county are threatened with pov
erty and destitution, caused, solely and without lo
gality, by Railroad taxation: and, whereas, self-pre
servation, which prompts all mon to resist oppres
-sion, imperatively demands resistance by the people
to this monstrous monopoly, which defiantly seeks to
fatton upon our substance. 'Therefore
Resolved, That the Demooracy of Allegheny coun
ty, feeling the magnitude of the task imposed upon
thorn by corporate fraud and corruption, are willing
to extend the right hand of fellowship to all classes
and conditions of our fellow citizens, who feel the
necessity of a union of numbers in order to resist
monopoly and oppression.
Resolved, That in order to free discussion of this
question of Railroad taxation from other issues,
which might embarrass it, we are willing, for the
present, to forego the consideration of National and
State policy, wishing to hold the champions, Guar,
nays and agents of railroad taxation to a searching
investigation and discussion of the only question
which should at the present time engage our atten
tion.
Resolved, That the rapid accumulation of wealth
and power by the Pennsylvania Railroad, is the re
sult of intrigue, bribery and corruption its agents
infest oar halls of legislation, bribing the mercenary,
and intimidating the weak, while the publio press
present open and palpablo evidence o, their being
purchased to aid In this work of plunder—the pur
chase of the main lino of our public works, the par..
chase of the Sunbury and Erie Railroad, and the re
peal of the Tonnage Tax, each and all, disclose a
system of corruption unparalleled in the history of
the legislation of Pennsylvania, admonishing the
people to beware of further encroachments upon
their rights and liberties.
Resolved, That the Republican party loaders of
Allegheny county, in selecting for their candidates
menovhe have been chiefly Instrumental in fastening
these burthens upon us, have shown themselves un
worthy of the• confidence of the people, and totally
unfit to govern where honesty and economy aro ex
pected from public servants.
Resolved, That the nomination of J. K. Igdorboad
and Robert lil'Enight for Congress, is plainly and
simply an insult to the common honesty and intelli
gence of the people; while groaning under the
weight Imposed upon us by Railroad jobbers and
Bondholders, we are asked to support for seats In our
National Legislature two who have boon foremoit in
causing our distress—the first being a mere pedlar In
polities, as well as in bonds, and who hasigrown fa
and opulent by the very filching which is impovor•
ishing the people; thelscoond, a:mere cats•paw for
the Bondholders, whose only claim to consideration
by his party, was his being a Railroad director.
I?esofeed, That the profuse use of tickets end
passes upon Railroads by Judges, Legislators and
&liters, is an insidious mode of effecting what an
open attempt at bribery might perhaps fail to accom
plish.
Restiqvcd, That the Chairmtn of this Convention
be authorized to appoint a County Committee of
Correspondence, whom we know to be sound upon
the tax question ; and that said Committee t% em
powered to interrogate the candidates this day
nnminatod, and substitute now men for any who will
not subscribe to the foregoing preamble and resolu
tions.
Rczolvecl, That the refusal of the Democratic
Commissioners of Allegheny county to levy a tax
for rat/road purposes, meets the - entire and unquali4
fled approbation of this 'Convention.
The preamble and resolutions were receivei-

The imputation centaieed in the resolution was
very unjust to one who had been:involvi.td with
them in the cause of Democracy. He never gave
a vote which more directly involved the interests
of Pittsburgh and Allegheny county, Let me
tell the gentleman who reports the resolutions,
that there was no man in the Senate of Pennsyl
vania, Democrat, Republican,Whig., Know-Noth
ing, call them what you please, that did not
melte a public outcry, " let us out loose i . r.)113
the public works, " and the very bill fur
which' voted was the substitute for the origi
nal bill. The only difference was that vOile
one placed the minimum of the canals at
$6,000,000 the bill for which I voted, placed
it at S:1,500,001, with a condition that a
large appropriation should ha made to the
Allegheny Valley Railroad, to brinq, it iota this
city.

were nominated and elected to a three years
term in the Senate, before its ezpiration I should

do any service to my party or my country.
The President hero requested the aged Judge
to wait until the particular resolution to which
he referred should come up.
The resolutions were then taken up, and 'pass
ed in rotation, with but little opposition.
On the third resolution, Judge Wilkins again
arose and said the resolution was a downright
imputation of corruption on tho entire
Lagisla
tore of Pennsylvania. It is carious how a de
sire to appear foremost in any public moasure
wili impel us to act rashly. Both branches of
that Legislature were Democratic—now vote for
it if you will. Yon will be voting an imputa
tion of corruption on the very men you elected.
Should we, as Demaerate, pass such resolutions
to go forth throughout Cat: United States, and
perhaps to Europo ; for 7;ith the new wonder of
the Submarine Telegraph, it might in ten min
utes be heralded in Lyndon that in Pennsylvania
a resoluqou had been passed, imputing corrup
tion to the entire Legislature of the State. I
will not vote against the resolution—it is entire
ly useless—l am in a minority here ; but I can
never vote in favor of it.

On the reacting of the fourth i..)soluti,•n, Mr
Guthrie said that in a Demeoratic convention,
nothing of this kind had ever been done 1
gavo the President of the Convention power to
appoint a committee with power to remove any
one from tho ticket. It iirti.3 proper. that a iiug
gestion of the character of the resolution should

sides. on Resolutions.
Col. Gibson said dant the resolution :715 re

rying out of the principles expressed in it. It
fsS their objeot to prevent the Railroad tc01.:.•
jobbers from imposing ou the citizens of All

the power confided to them. He would also at
t: , move, that the i'resi lent of this
mectitg k; chain:m:l,u of tit , : l)roposod Com
mittee of Correspondence.
Dr. (leo 11. Keyser Ktid. he did not IR itAll Po
impose himself on a Convention where lie se.ty
so many older and better Democrats than him
self, for the purpose of eulightniug Own on any
snbjeot before thetn, but h.:, wished to remark
that: the resolution was not begotten in the hearts
of the Committee on Resolntions, but that it had
long had a lively existence in the hearts of the
people.
la the City Convention last winter it ha,d been
charged that he was an anti-taxman. He had
then denied the charge. lie thought it did not
belong in a City Convention, but that when the
issue was brought up in the proper place—a
County Convention—he would be ready to meet
it. He was ready now, and he had to say for
these resolutions—that the mare you discuss
them, like pure gold, the brighter they will shine.
The people, he believed, through their delegates
had a right to come into Convention, and pass
what resolution they please. In conclusion he
heartily endorsed the resolution, and it was his
sincere conviction that of the Democracy would
take up the standard of the people, they would
would come up glorious and triumphant on the
second Tuesday of October next. The speaker
took his seat under hearty applause.
Mr. Guthrie then rose, as he said, to explain
his position. He had, as the Convention and the
gentlemen who had spoken well know, voted
heartily for all the rest of the resolutions. He
did not object to this one. He only objected on
a question of custom—as he thought the sug
gestion for the proposed Corresponding Commit
tee should come directly from the Convention—
instead of from the Committee on Resolutions.
Here the President requested all who were
not delegates to step outside of - the bar, as they
were about to proceed to nomination.
It wee moved that the Delegates proceed to
nominations, but Judge Wilkins having risen to
his feet, the motion wee withdrawn, when
Judge Wilkins remarked that it was useless
for him to attempt to stem the current in which

landed him there, instead of in an Executive
office. He then offered the following resolution,
which ho knew would Lia voted down, but he
wished to place himself right on the record:
Resolved, That llotwithst%nillog the public mind
so decidedly condemns the very heedless and reek
leas manner in which the constituted autbcrities of
tho city and county gave their municipal subscrip.
1.14118 and executed their bond,: to various Railroad,
Companies not for the purporo of corapleting those
projected and useful works—but for makin. , their,
subscriptions the very hazardous basis of the COM
7:tenement of the roads, and without any appearance
of their ultimate aecomplishmant. And, notwith-,
standing the oppresave burden of this indobtednesi,
mid onerous system of taxation resulting from it,
and fastening liens and encumbrances upon the en
tire property of the city and county, hardly admitting
of any limit as to time. -- ifp4 - it - becomes a natter of
serious c;onslderation and of doubtful public' policy
whether this Convention, assembled at tho will of
our constituenthnot for the decision of any partial
tar local matter, - orto tako cognizance of special mu.
nicipal and • 'corporate - transactions—should travel
beyond - the object of the call of the County Demo.,
cratio'Cotamittec, dated - on Saturday, tho 31st - of last
month;which;'isgreoahly to thO' aniforni . and. long
honored'' usage of . the Democratic party, invites the
as.Semtlage of the chosen delegates " to make prepso;
rations for the approaching October election. Its
,object, obviously, is to selectpelitical nominees to flll
e legislative and ministerial offices pertaining to
the county at large—to maintain the imioa of Dem..
ocratio men, and uphold and extend those admirable
Democratic principles resting on the inherent rights
of man, and which have given glory and happiness
to the smorican pooplo and spread their renown over
the civilized world.
Where such, is the political object of our thus
MIIMI
meeting tigether,lyould it not be impolitic and limp.
pllcable to that political object, to introduce any in%
dividual question; hewevet intoreSting to our pri ,
veto and Feennier . t, concerns, et all liktly to produce
discord, and to break in'upon our fraternal organi ,
nation; and thereby give triumph to those, with whom
we fairly and hcacstly contend upon questions in
volving public opinions of the highest considera
tion? Would It not be an act hereafter fatal to the
Democratic partylof Allegheny county to auger it
self to b 3 thrown Into discord aid angry sentiments
rvy any local question, which from its nature must
be merely temporary ; be congonint and mix
with, nor in any way be finally conclade.d by a par y
convention called togeth: - .r merely f,r political par

Let it, therefore, bn resolved by this Convention
that, whilst each rtionth?r of it will continue to en
tertain end maintain h;s individual sentiments in re
ference t) the tmrporato subscriptions and the city
and county bandy, to which allusion is herein made,
it is considered Find recommended to our Demooratic
fellow citizens, that it would be out of place and not
embraced within the object of the call of this meet
ing, to take any action upon the alleged indebted
noes claimed to arise from those subscriptions and
corporate bonds, and that the proper and constitu

draw his motion, that he might introduce a series
of resolutions complimentary to the President of
the United States, which had been overlooked
by the Convention, and we believe it is the first
Democrotic Convention which eve: ti.-..lambled in

able Judge, whose silver locks were in strong
contrast with those around him, battled like a
