'-Wa ar. bounced ia our las? tha:-'i,c Convention o?
the Sei.atii and House, afitr two unsaciessfal bul
la. had adjourned until net Tiwsd c and prom
ised to give the particular. this weak. Ou the Fri
day evening previous to toe meeting of the Conven
tlua, the Aineric.n Caucus met to r iniut.io a cm-'
didats.'' On the tixth ballot, OA'JKitox'bad 45, aud
Ccitns i j. At this point,' about thirty members
withdrew from the Caucus, the reasons for which
will be found in their Protest, appended to this arti
cle. After their withdrawal, those who remained
proceeded to a seventh ballot, when Gon. Simon
Cajieuon, was declared the nominee of the Ameri
can Party.
On Monday night, the Whigs and Democrats mat
in Caucus; the former agreed to support Mr. Tkos
W. Williams, and the latter, Chas. W. Bcckalew.
On Tuesday, the Uouso called at 10 o'clock, a. ji.,
the lobbies having been crowded with anxious
spectators during the whole morning, and the
greatest excitement prevailing among both mem
bers and out-siders. A resolution was brought in
from the Senate, which had passed that body unan
imously, to appoint a Committee to investigate
certain charges of bribery connoted with the elec
tion of United States Senator. It gave rise to an
animated discussion, but on the vote being called,
passed with but one member voting in the negative.
At twelve o'clock, the Speaker aud members of
the Senate, entered the Hall, and the Legislature
resolved itself into a Convention to electa Senator.
On the first ballot, Cameron had 5S votes. Cuas. H.
Buckalew, 23 votes; Tuos. W. Williams, 3 votes;
James Veech, 7 votes; David Wilmot, 9 votes; J.
Peincle Jones, 11 votes, and scveu scattering.
A resolution was then introduced to adjourn for
three wccics, but was disagreed to. On the second
ballot Cameron had 59 votes. Necessary to choice,
6G. A resolution was then introduced to adjourn
for two weeks, which was carried by four votes,
and the Convention adjourned
It is exceedingly difficult to predict what maybe
the result, though we incline to the belief that
General Cameron will be elected. The following
is the Pro-.est of the ' bolters :"
High convictions of duty impel the undersigned to
subunt to their fellow-citizens the following state
ment : At tho commeuyemont of the present Ses
sion of the Legislature, the friends of the American
Organization, in tUe iiouso of Uefresentative?- re
sold ei U act as au independent parly. As:aeh.
thev met in caucus, and determined to admif iiCiio
to their deliberations but such us were known to be
true to the great principles of that Organizai ion.
Ia vindication of those prinpoiples, they also de
teraiiued to. support no man for any oliico in the
gift of theLegtslarure, who w as not equally kiown
to be true to them, as well as to the interests of the
Commonwealth. At the Conventional Caucus, held
to nominate a candidate ibr State. Treasurer, mem
bers of the American Organization were refused
admittance, simply because toey had refused to co
operate with the p:irty from the beginning, and to
vote lor its caucus nominees. iJut at the eruicas
held on the evening of tho '.Hh iost . those who hud
been refused admittance to the prevtou.? caucus
weie found in attendance; aud some who were only
known as bitter 'enemies of the American Organi
zation, wero with us directing and controlling tbe
uomiuation of one of the most intriguing, if not the
most corrupt politi'-ian in the State. A resolutian
wr.s oflered to exclude hese objectionable persons,
and their own ruu s indefinitely postponed the con
sideration of tlio resolution. A liio'iuu w-s then
made to proceed to nominate a candid itjf-ir tho U.
S. Senate by a viv-z ruee vote. An amendment was
ollorcd. substituting a vote l.y ballot.- the atnnd
ment was ad jr.ted and tl o iesolutioTi carried by a
majority of anl;j tArc', thus thoi:-g tiiat those!
who had to i:gnt to he present or-tii a controlling
iriJIncacp, or tha balance T pov.-er.
jtere let us retiect for a moment. u;ou otir own
positioa. Thoro wcra before tbat cjcus iae huu:l-.s
of many of the best men in Pen-isylvaniu, whose
friends were urging them as proper candidates.
Ihere were in that caucus les.s than twentj' iulu
who openly admitted they would vote for Simon Oam
r.iiitv. I nder these circums'ances it seeiaed wsarce
ly possible that he could be nominate i. lie was
openly repudiated by taieu-loiii ihs ol'thuuiembevs,
and eertiii'ily we hi'.d no reason to fear, with this
open avowal of hostility, for almost any other f
the many names before us would have ben accep
table. It is true they Lad masked themselves by
the secret ballol; but to usu this was more an evi
dence of cowardice than of perfidy. We could not
believe that all who had voted for the secret bal
lot, had done so to hide themselves from their con
scituents. or to betray us into tho support cf a man
despised and disowned by every political organi
zation ia Pennsylvania. It wasuot until we J.rgau
to ballot, that our Leiraj'u! became manifest. I t
was then thut we discovered the treachery tht v.-js
pretending to oppose Cajikuon, and yet hyperit
ically and secretly voting for his nomination.
, The pewer thut controlled that caucus was too
palpable ; corruption was behind the throne, and
no wonder that its victims skulked behind a .secret
vote, and covered their tcdi from the eyes an I
knowledge of all beholders'.
Were we justified in leaving the caucus when the
evidence, to our minds, had become demonstrative '
Could we. as the representatives ot an honest con
stituency, have served them with fidelity by re
maining? Could wo have exhenorated ourselves
from the odium of such a nomination if we had
delayed our departure and aided to consummato
such a result? Could we have remained iu that
caucus believing ourselves bound by its action. and
justiSed ourselves in voting for a man whoso whole
history is but tho history of intrigue ? a man who
has despised all party obligations, and treated all
caucuses with contempt.
The inquiry arises, who is Simon Cammon? A3
a Statesman, fame has never associated his name
with the word. As a politician, he has always pro
fessed to be a Democrat, and yet that party only
remembers him because of his treachery, and speaks
of him as a traitor. As a Whig, it is his boast that
he never voted a Vbig ticket in his life that par
ty being saved from such a disgrace. As an Amer
ican and an Anii-Slavcry man. let the record speak
for itself. At a County Convention, held in the
Court House, on the Second day of last S'jj!ciHoer,
SiitoN Cameron was a delegate and an active mem
ber. The following resolutions were offered in
that Convention, and are said to have been in his
hand-writing. Certainly, they met with oppo
sition from him : "
Kesoved, That we bare confidence in thoadmin
istration of Gen. Pierce, because he has manfully
battled for those principles, and thrown its influ
ence in favor of sustaining tho rights of man to
self.govcrment.
Rcsolve i, That the able, fearless, and democrat
ic administration of Gov. Uigler meets our hearty
approbation, and wc congratulate the democracy
of the State upon the certainty of this election.
RcstjveL That Judge Black, the abio and intre
pid Chief Jnsticc of the Supremo Court, has go
conducted' himself as to win tho esteem and con
fidence of the people.
Resolved, That the manly repudiation of Know
Notbingism by Henry S. Mott has won the respect
of even his enemies, and will add largely to his
majority at the coming election
liriolwd, That we arc in favor of the Nebras-ka-Kassas
bill, because it embodies the vital
principles of self-government, whieli never can
conflict with the interests of freedom.
Resolved. That we are opposed to the prescrip
tive and anti-repnblicaaxrder called Know-Koth-ings.
and shall docm it our duty, a$ Democrats, to
oppose for office all persons known to have any
connection with it.
When has he changed his opinions upon those
questions? When, or where, has he disowned theia ?
And even if there be any recent recantation gotup
for the present emergency, there is not character
enough in the man to impose upon credulity itself.
Ent do not the people of Pennsylvania expect
something more of tho prcsentLegisIaturo than the
election of "an old political hack " Thegreatpo
litical revolution that brought the American party
into power, has no parallel in tho history of Penn
sylvania.: The old party organizations wore dis-
eolvcd by an unseen power, .and old politicians,
with all their schemes, left floundering or wrecked,
with the elements that supported them, absorbed
by the mysterious power of an organization beyond
their control. This great revolution is not without
its lesson. Tho old parties with their leading pol
iticians, fre corrupt ; and it was their signal de
struction the people ?oight v, hen they put their pow
er into the new organization. T hey dotermined to re
buke corruption;they did rebuke eorruption.and the
party in power stands as a monument of that rebuke.
Shall the American party then in the face of all
its professions and actions, be now made the dis
honored instrument in elevating Sikox Cameron to
the highestofhee in its gift? and thus hold him up
tr the world as the exponent, embodiinentand per
socificat'ou of Americanism! Wo trust not. V. o
consider him a fit representative of nothing good;
and a fit exponet of no honorable principles. As
Pennsylvanians, we remember that our State niot
tu as adopted by our ancestors of seventy-six, is
' VlCTCE, LlHERTV, AND INDEPENDENCE. " We rCV-
erence this glorious old motto ; and bear in mind
that we but recently swore as representatives to
perform our duties as such, with fidelity; fidelity
to our constituent., fidelity to our native State, and
fidelity to tho ennobling "principles engraven on
our !tate escutcheon. Shall we then, or can we,
consistently with the oaths we have taken, support
a nomination so destitute of every element of vir
tue, which would disgrace the American Organiza
tion and our native State; and which we feel well
fissured, our constituents will repudiate with scorn
and righteous indignation- Wc recognize no pow
er in any caucus, to require us thus sacrifice our
integrity to throw away our self-re?pct; or to vio
late our oaths; and thereforo it is, that in the inde
pendence of freemen, we strike down king caucus
at the bidding of our country.
Above our venerated motto, and associated with
it in all the memories of the past, and our hopes of
the future, is tho American Eagle our national
emblem, and our country's pride. It ever adores
our starry flag; and it spreads its "wings of glory
over us?' as a protecting angel. When wo go into
the Hall of the Houso of Representatives, to exe
cute the most important trustconfided to us. wede
siro to meet something there having some analogy
or concordance with these glorious recollections,
and these sacred emblems. Grout U3 this, or some
thing approximating this, and all will bo well ;
and our hearts and our hands will be with you,
both to do nnd to daro. 15ut what we aay unto one
wo say unto all, invite us not in there to partake
of a buzzard's feast. Ask us not to support a nom
ination brought about, as wo believe, by the con
centrated and - cohesive power of public plunder,1'
and the superadded element of shameless and whole
sale private bribery. All countenance and parti
cipation in such things as these, we not only most
earnestly and peremptorily decline, but have pledg
ed ourselves unitedly and determinedly to oppose
Such is a brief ami hasty outline of our past nc
tion and oir intended future course. We submit it
to our constituents, confident of a triumphant vin
dication, and we cordially invite all cur honest fel
low representatives, whether in the tRto caucus or
not. to rally wUh i'.s in the contest, and to make
common cause with us for tho honor and the glory
of our native State, assuring them that though jt
may Lave passed into an tdage that '-Paris is
1'rance.'' vet If arri.-burjr is not Pennsylvania.
