Stade 911ThaL 7 : camipso.4 Bi itlinOGHT; vol grim - Yint - JOHN *OWL FM I M " W I 111 • iy,a We published lag week..the proceedings of the State Convention which met at Harria-• burg so far as they hail oometobandarid this week have the , pleasure of laying before one readers the resolutions adopted on the occasion, es well as raising the excellent ticket put in nomination. We say with pride that a stronger ticketoould not have been presented, and the high character of the candidatea and tbeit'unfkltering fidelity to Democratic principles especially coal mend them to the support and confidence of the National Democracy of Pennsyl vania. It is rarely the case that a ticket so thoroughly unexceptionable is nominated by any party. RICO/AMON L. Witten?, the nominee for Auditor General, is one of the ablest and most energetic Democrats in the State, and has in various offices given evidence of his integrity and industry in the public service. He is a native of Philadelphia. He served four years as a member of the House of Representativea, the last as speaker of that body, and three years as State Senator.— In his Legislative career he won the respect . of honest men of all parties, and earned a high reputation for his honesty and fideli ty. He possesses in an emient degree the qualifications so essential to the successful discharge of his duty in theoffice for which he is named. lie is fearless and faithful and deserves, and undoubtedly will receive the enthUsiastie support of the party. Joni' Rows, the candidate for Surveyor General, is a resident of Franklin County. He has held the office since 1856, and has given such entire satisfaciion that his party has justly honored him with a unamions nomination for a second term. The most radical of his political opponents do not question his honesty or capacity, but acknowledge his ability and worth. He has proved himself a most faithful aria efficient officer, and it is sound public policy, as well as Democratic, to retain his services in the department which he has managed with such signal success. The Resolutiods of the Convention most heartily endorse the national administra tion, and approve of the course of Senator Beitzx ; and sustain their integrity and consistency by repudiating the Suite Ad ministration. The course Gov. Packer and the officers with which he unfortunately surrounded himself, has been disorganizing and disloyal to the Democratic party.— Elevated to the high position which be holds, the Governor, disregarding alike his sacred pledges and the sentiments of his party, has retained in office men who have _deserted and' denounced the National Democracy. This factiousness deserved and has incurred the severest censure of all loyal Democrats. The Oloserrtr was the first paper in the State to expose and de nounce the treachery of the State Adminis tration, sad it will be the last to sympathize with men who have so far forgotten their sit political obligations as to lend aid and com fort to the candidates of the opposition.— Gov. Packer chose to introduce a distract ing National question into State politics— a question with which he as a State officer , had nothing to do—and he undertook to use this question to the injury of Demos cratic candidates, and for this he has suffer ed, and justly, too, the almost unaminnus condemnation of the Democratic party of the State. His appointees, with few ex ceptions, at the last general election, oppos ed the regular Democratic nominees, and , threw the weight of their influence in favor of the opposition. The Convention re pudiated him by a vote of s 4 to 37—and, of 'these 37 quite a large number are hos tile to Gov. Peeler's mutinous course, hut were opposed to summary action on pre( lon tial grounds. There is no doubt that the Convention expressed fearlessly and holiest !), the views of the rank and tile of the Demberacy of the Old Keystone. Here and there may be found a few disorganizing and turbulent spirits who dissent from the policy of the convention, but the great body of the party cordially approve it-' action. The sooner we get rid of all die.- organizers the better for the purity and the permanency of the party. This is obvious to evrey man who has had any political experience. No party can succeed that_ makes terms or deals timidly with those who are constantly fomenting discord id the ranks about extraneous issues. In this connection it is perhaps worth) of note that we should refer our readers to an item of political history which may have escaped from the memories of the mass of the people. In the campaign of 1 r.. 17 udge WiLsor challenged Gov, PACKER tCr,InM him on the stump Tud di;cuss the political issues of the day. PACKER declined,' as signing among other things as a reason that Wiliam proposed to discuss the Slavery question and the Kansas policy of to Democratic party. Against this posit •n and policy of PACKER, our readers will e 4 collect, the Observer, in strong and emp, tic language, protested. We said the it was a political blunder that would soo er or later bear fruit detrimental lathe in of the party—but no echo to encott I 'us in the right came up from the Democ is press of the State. Expediency ruled. e hour, and the courseof the then condi but now Governor, received the ost unanimous endorsement of the Democ tic press of the Stfate. Now look at the gull. Hardly was this Executive in his seat, ho, as a s candidate, did not deem it righ or proper. to discus national questions be ore the people, before he arrayed liimsel in his first State paper against the national Administration upon the very question he had refused to discuss with Wmeor. - That is, he refused to meet WiLsor upon the everlasting negro question while a candi date, but the moment he was eleeted he . commenced agitating that very creation himself. Out of his'own mouth heetands condemned, and he must uot•complain if the party in State Convention have applied his own rule to his case and repudiated his action on tivtableoome 'national questions. 1301 Ow will' be found the resolutions of the bensocratie State Convention which as- gambled at Harrisburg last week. "That these 'resolutions exabody r theaesithilenta of the honest and' rellabls Deincerlet:bf the State there cannot be,e, doubt. , In dee* the - fact the although r there into a diviskon" of bentanent to kthtpowveirition zi, u the policy of the State Admiiiistra :of Gov.

So it will bewith Yr. BCCII4II AN. When the future politician conies to stip up his measures ho will refer to these resolutions ea a guide, and make his estimate accordingly. 1110 following are the resolutions: Itsatitvae, That the Democracy of Penn sylvania have !unabated and full confidence in the patriotism, integrity and capacity of .lames Buchanan, the President of the United States, and desire to sustain his ad ministration :from a conviction of the in timater connection of its principles with the beet in terixiti, of our common °wintry.

And we are mot about to say that we have been deceiv ed in this matter—only, we would just like to know where the Erpress is in the pres ent Crisis of the Democratic party of the State. A week has passed since the Del* .ocratio State Convention mot at Harrisburg. The proceedings of that body'were in the city several days before the last issue of that paper-4U nomlneers are the standard bearers of the Democratic party of the State—its resolutions is the platform of the parte—but, although there has been ample time for the Express to define its position towards these proceedings, resolutions, and candidates, we do not find 'either its can didates announced, or oven the remotest allusion k the fact of there having been a convention held. How is this ? Are we to have help in fighting the battles of the wrists' Democracy in Erie county as we an ticipated, or are we to be left, as we have heretofore been, the solitary defender of its principles, and candidate's. Where are. you The convention, to which we refer, passed strong resolutions , endorsing the principles and polity of President Jsliss Beduassit—it endorsed and commended the publio service and fidelity to principles of Senator Ilicieta--but it, rtfu.sed, by the deciaiima vote, of 84 to 37, to endorse the State Administration of (30V. PACKER.— Now here is an issue no politician or news paper in the State can dodge. It has to he met. Fortunately our position towards the State Administration is well known. It was taken nearlt a year ago when the At torney General„'; Judge KNOT, committed his political fortunes to the keeping ut Joe. W. FORNEY and Davin Virraisesa at. the M'Kibbon dinner in Philadelphia.— We said then that it Gov. PACKER itltOttiiet‘ to stand by the party that elected him, he artist at once repudiate the acts of his At torney General end supply his place by the appointment of ie true man, or he must look elsewhere than -to the Democratic party for support. Many Democrats at home and eleewlwro thought we were pre mature in our forebodings of the detection we feared; but now a eutiveutien of the 'arty has solemnly pox:l:limed the State Administration is w.uiting in fidelity to the party and to the State.

TIIS MCNICIPAL ELLCTION.—We believe the election of lest week was Omit the quieten witnessed in our city for many years. There was no excitement, and very little noise round the polls. The vote was light—lees than two. thirds of the voters participating. The officers elected are, with perhaps few eiceptions, R 1 trustworthy men as can be found in the city and arc decided Mends of city improvement We may *leo say that some of the candidate, defeated are meritorious men, ardently devoted to the best interests of the city. This especially the care with our friend Louut.n-• who was defeated for Councilman in the 11e.4 Ward. lie has beet' earnest in advocating all needful projects of improvement. We trust his immediate successor will prove as liberal and energetic. Take the successful eandidate , t an a body, however, and we doubt whether bet ter men have been elected to fill the varitie.. offices for several years. The people v.tte,l understandingly and were not divested from the faithful discharge of their duty by shy ex citing or distracting issues. All, seemed to be prompted by an earnest desire to adesnee the best interests of the place, and to promote the public gesel, and the result appears to give pretty general satisfaction.
