FOR SUPREME JUDGE,
lion. George Sharswood,
oFTHI LADELPIUA
Trim report of the proceedings of the State
Convention will he found in another part of
this week's paper. It contains a number of
facts not given in ,most of the reports that
have peen printed, and will be found worthy
of perusal, even by those who have readoth
er sketches of the proceedings. From some
cause the editor's account of the action of the
Vonvention, sent on from Harrisburg, failed
to reach the office in time for last week's pa
per.
OIIR CA.FDIDATE.
The Democratic State Convention at Harris
burg. last week,with a unanimity seldom wit
nessed, and, in a spirit equal to the best days
of the Republic, presented to the people of
Pennsylvania - as their nominee for the posi
tion on the Supreme bench which will be
vacated by Geo. W. liTondward in Decent
her next. the name of lion. George Sitars
wood. of Philadelphia. 0r the pre-emluent
titne. , ; of this selection, no person who is in
the remotest degree acquainted with the
jurisprudence of the Conummwealth, will
for a moment question. The di.tinguished
talents of Judge Sharswood have given hint
a reputation as wide as the continent, and
among the -members of his profession he is
universally regarded us balding a place in
the front rank of American jurists. The
library. of every lawyer in the State tells the
story of hhi - great 'industry, his sound judg
ment,l his scholarly acquirements, his deep
/research, and his consummate skill ns an in
terpreter of the law..
Prom a long and well prepared blograph
kid sketch in the Philadelphia Age, we leiirn
that Judge Shirrswood was born .on the ;th
oiJuly, 1810, and he. is' consequently in his
55th year. - On the 31st of July, 1828, he
militated at the University of Pennsylvania,
with the highest honors, delivering the
Greek salutatory' oration. Ile studied law
with the Hon. Joseph R. Ingersoll, and was
admitted to practice on the sth of Septem
ber, 1831. Five years after his admission to
the liar, he was elected from the city of
Philadelphia to the Legislature of his native
Stat'e, in which he served thee sessions,
winning an enviable reputation for ability
and- integrity. The high character he bore
in that body recommended him to the conft
denee of Goy. Shunkrwho, in 1845; selected
him, from among the many gifted members
of the Philadelphia bar, as one of the Judges
of the District Court for that city. When
the Constitution was changed, in 1831, and
the Judiciary became elective, and again in
mt opposing candidate, the p unoutl bon - or - of a
noinination by both of dif,great political parties
loering been ,conferred *upon him. For over
twenty-two years '-.Ttutge 'Shit:wood 'has
been a member of, mi l l for nearly twenty
years presided over, thTusiest court in that
large city. "It is not' o much," the Age
says, "to add that no' judge who ever sat in
this county fins commanded so great a de- '
gree of respect and 'confidence, ad,.if we
except Judge Bushrod Washington, the
affection of the pmfession, as Judge Sitars
wood. If it were possible to estimate the
value in money which such a judge has been
to this community during the long period of
his official services, the sum would seem ex
aggerated to any not familiar with laic worth:
His systemization of the business of the
Court has prevented costly delays, and his
opinions- have such weight that few lawyeri
care to risk the expense of a writ of error
- from his judgments. He has constructed the
practice of his court, and almost created the
local law of the community. Poring all this
time, he has been, if not a prolific, an habitu
al and most careful legal - writer and. author.
His edition of Blackstone, of Bytes on Bills,.
his annotations to English remits, his Pro:
feSsional Ethics and Lectures, have given
him a national reputation as wide 'as it is
well founded: l ' All over the tnited States he
regarded as foremost as a jurist, a lawyer,
and d scholai-. No new testimonials can add
to his reputation. The' people , of the State
of•Pennsylvariia while conferring upon Judge
SharswOod the additional honor of electing
-bait to the Judgeship of the Supr eine Court,
will extend the credit and diimity of that
tribunal, and enlarge the character of the
Commonwealth itself."
THE INDIAN WAIL.
The Indian troubles arc on the increase,
and Gen. Sherman is likely to have his
bands full for some time to come. According
to Gor. Hunt of Colorado, the war has at
tained to formidable proportions, for in a dis
palelL W <tem i ic,mail he MIMIC MIL IL now
exists over a country 2,000 by 1,00? miles in
extent, In , a telegram recently sent :by the
Government officers of Colorado rirritory to ,
?resident Johnson, asking for the adoption
of prompt and vigorous measures tgainst the
Indians, a sad picture is drawn of the state
of the Territory, owing to the active hostili
ty of the red men, who are making depreda
tions and killing, the white settlers on every.
side. Ranches are burned; coaches and
emigrant teams are attacked ; stock run off;
and numerous marder4 committed. Dis
patches swarm in daily tram Montana, Da
kota, and Colorado, announcing new depre
dations and murderous outrageF4 The arts
4,f peace are suspended, and the people suf
fering. from a feeling of insecurity, which
paralyzes every branch of industry. Gen.
tilterman.says he has not a sufficient num
ber or troops to prinect all the exposed
points,- rind that the people must, for the
present, fight the Indians themselves.' Under
the circum-pinces, they certainly have no
choice left them but to shouldter the rifle and.
meet the-enemy. Still, it is a hard and cruel
case that this dire necessity should be forced
upon them; and no time ought to be lost in
sending on reinforcements of troops to ena
ble Gen. Sherman to make short, sharp, and
decisive Work of the campaign which has
been commenced.
rNioN moyEßtE's T.
A sentiment is becoming quite prevalent
throughout the community in favor of the
nomination of a county ticket, to be made
up irrespective of party. The friends of the
movement urge- in its favor that no im
portant. general issues are at stake ; that
there is a wide spread feeling in favor of se
lecting the best snen for public position,
without respect to their political belief; and
that the vast importance of our local Inter
ests can only secure a tit representation at:
• Harrisburg by disregarding the ordinary
partisaricaucuses. The leadera of the ~ , ', 4 7lt6ne
are business men of both political organiza
tions, who have come to the conclusion that
se long as we continue to entrust our local
interest's to mere politicians, selected on the
sole ground of party service, without any re
gard for their merit, we cannot hope for
any improvement upon the past. That such
a plan will meet with popular favor in the
city is not for n moment to be doubted, but,
whether it will be as successful in the 'coml
. try, remains to be tested. It would seem at
least as if the great mass of the people ought
by this time to be convinced that the old
system of making nominations in the domi
nant party is rotten to the core; and that
nothing less than a complete revolution in
our local politics will effect any change for
the better. The absunee of an exciting gee-
eral canvass this fall will render the coming
election more auspicious for the success of
Such a movement than any of the previonsi
.occasions upon which it has been tried.
TIM-DISPATc cCHONND A NVTUIOEN. DEMOCTILA.
TiVE
The Divateh, wlth a fairness 'the more
commendable because so seldom exhibited,
in:speaking of the Democratic State Coni - en;
Lion, says:
" The nomination of jud,Te Shame, mid, of
Philadelphia, for Judge of the Supreme court,
was-an eminently tit one, and seems to
meet with equal commendation from both'
parties."
It is to be regretted that after commencing
its comment; upon the Contention in this
honorable strain, our coterapontry should not
have been able to forego its partisan prejudi
ces throughout the balance of its article. In
the second sentence it says: "We have not
yet seen a full report, and consequently can
not arrive at any just conclusion of the pro
ceedingi as a whole." Yet, without waiting
3 0 , s ee the "full report," or endeavoring to
'ascertain the correctness of what it asserts,
it deliberately accepts the following false sto
ry, originated by the Philadelphia Press, mid
palms it off upon its readers its a true state
ment of facts:
"As no political body or Convention ever
came together, without doing some foolish
things, so in the case of the present one.
Some member in a fit of enthusiasm, proba
bly forgetting fora moment where he was,in
tmduced a resolution thanking Gen. Sheridan
for the services rendered the country. Its
reading, however, if we may trust the report,
created such a storm of indignation that the
mover was Wit to , hide his diminished head,
and the resolution was 'tumultuously ruled
out of order.'"
We cannot helii but think that it would
have been Letter for our neighbor's reputa
tion, and have 7 , ,lzared it 'from the charge of
intentional unfairness, had it waited to see
the " fall report," before-hurrying to give cur
rency to so nonsensical a mes.:s - of stuff as the
above. It Would then have learned that no
such resolution as it asserts was ever altered
in the Convention, and might have concluded
with us that the author of the story mann
factuml it ,M out of whole cloth," for the
very purpose to which it is now being put,
of misrepre , enting the Convention, and furn
ishing material for epithet to the Radical
*as, which they could not find in the genu
ne proceedin , ,,;?..
The only resolution offered in the Conven-
lion which male any reference to Gen.
Sherithm, WUS one introduced by Mr. Buchan
an, of Tidionte, and withdrawn by him im-
mediatcly after reading. It was intended as
a burlesque condole/rice with Gov. Wells, of
Louisiana, upon the fact that Gen. Sheridan
haul administered to him "a dose of his own
medicine." The Governor has long -been
known as an ardent advocate of the doctrines
of the Radicals, but noir that his "thickens
have come home to roost " in hiS removal by
the military commander of the district, he
does not appear to relish them as well us
fonherly. Of course Mr. Buchanan's resolu-
'ion was merely intended for sport, and no
man who was present, except a constitutional
liar, like the writer for the Press, would have
endeavored to give it any other construction.
The Convention laughed at it as a good joke,
with which it is alleged to have been receiv
ed, and the tragic manner in which it is de
scribed to have been "tumultuously ruled out
of order," existed only in the imagination of
the Radical paper's correspondent. ,
. The_ Dispatch- i 8 exceedingly shocked at
the resolution of the Convention which de
clares the determination of the Democratic
party to " resist to the last rt:Nort the threat
ened measurer of the Republican party- to in
terfere by acts of Congress with the regula
tion of the elective franelibe in the State of
Pennsylvania." It asks •
" When have the Republicartitartv ever
threaten] d' such ' measures .e Who has ev
er advocated the idea of interfering with the
elective franchise in the State of Pennsylva
nia,' and on what occasion ? The insinuation
of the resolution is as empty of truth as it is
full of wind and fury. It is merely a device
for strengthening the weak backs of Demo
cratic voters in the country, and impressing
them with the idea that the wicked Repub
lican party contemplates forcing negro
suffrage upon the State at the point of the
sword.,"
The innocence of onrcotempontry •is in
credible. Shakspeare's Honest Ingo is no
comparison to it, A stranger might attribute
it to duplicity, and an enemy to ignorance.
Be it what it may, we trust that some benev-.
olent individual will hasten to furnish our
benighted neighbor with the latest effusions
from the leading disciples of the code of
"great moral ideas," A cursory permial of
the speeches and letters of Wendell Phillips,
of Sumner, of Stevens, of Butler, and of
the other shining lightq, whose wake the
Dispatch takes pride in following, may con
vince it that the resolution k neither sozreat
a bugaboo nor so "full.of wind and fury" as it
pretends to conceive. We do not claim much
prophetic vision, but it damn not require any
special wisdom to thretcri that when the plan
of Congressional 4nterfcrence with the elec
tive franchise in the States becomes a mea
sure of Radical party policy, as it gives evi
deneeof soon doing,‘the Dispatch will he us
loud a howler in its favor as it now is for
measures which only a short period ago it
the strongest apparent als
gust.
DEMOCRATIC VICTORIES
The Democracy, of Waterbury, Connecti
cut, achieved a signal victory at the city elec
tion on the 10th. Nearly 1,200 ballots were
polled, which is a much larger vote than - that
of last year.' The result for . Mayor last - year
was, Rockwell 600, Snow 311. This year the
vote for Mayor is, Joseph B. Spencer, Demo
crat, ;07; Charles B. Merriman, Radical, VS.
On all the Aldermen- the Democratic majori
ty is considerably over 300! and on some over
830. Last year the Democratic ticket was
defeatdd in Waterbury, and the people, after
one year's trial, got heartily sick of that sort
of " refbrm."
An election just held In Illinois shows that
Ilk. 'Conservative re-action is even more de
cided West than East .
. The second "grand
vi , ion a the State, Which gave 3.044 majori
ty for the Radicals in November, now elects
a Democratic Conservative for Judge, by a
majority of 4,000. Belleville, in the same
State, has elected' a Democratic Mayor by
150 majority, a gain of 700 since last fall.
The Springfield Republican says, "the Re
publiaans have been largely defeated in the
local elections of West Virginia," and this is
ascribed by that paper mainly "to the ht
tempt to introduce there the tnisciable Ten
nessee policy, which will fail everywhere,as it
ought to."
The-prospectlbr a Democratic triumph in
New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Illi
nois and Indiana, next fall, is very hopeful.
The tide seems to be turning, and the long
night of Radical darkness is about to disap
pear.
OUR NATIONAL DEBT
The New York Times, in an article on Our
great public, debt, remarks' that those MI6
look upon our two thousand, five hundred
and fifteen millions of national debt as the
extent of our burden, would be enlightened
by looking for a moment at the State, county,
city and town debts that are to be added to
the national iota • The State debt of New
York amounts to the stun of $57,753,0&2.20,
and the county, town, city and village debt,
as fitrus ascertained, is about $85,675,040.67,
making a total " for State and town debt of
4137,428,727.0, which the missing returns
will very likely swell to at kast 414(1,000,000,
or about $35 each for every inhabitant of the
State. If other states show similar exhibits,
it follows that their aggregate obligations
must como up to $700,0(10,000, or 4800,000,000,
which, with the national figures, will make
the trifling sum of $3,300,000,000, ormore
than 4100 for each roan, woman and child,
white, black or red, in the Union' In 1800,"
Add to these figures the large unaseerhtined
claims, and the various species 'of Indebted
ness which_Congress will have to assume on
the Thad. Stevens' programme, and the
amount will be staggering to the common
-
mental apprehension. But a few hundred
millons more or leas is a matter"of small con
sequ.ence in this gigantic fabric of national
credit. .
RADICAL TYRANNY.
The Kingdom of Tennessee; now ruled
over by his Majesty, Governor" Brownlow,
will hold nu electioa some of these days.
13rowilliOv - eindidate 'for ii-ereCtlOn." Re
and his delectable' Legislature have disfran
chised two-thirds of the
, white 'hien of the
State, and at the same time have given all the
negroei; the right of suffrage. Old Brownlow
i s mo re thoroughly despised and more cordi
ally hated by three-fourths of the white pelt . -
pie of Tennessee, than any other man on the
face of the glebe. Yet he has under his con
trol the machinery to impose his. dious tyr
anny upon these people as long as Ile pleases.
He has the negro mob to sustain hint and a
negro militia to overawe and slay the few true
and brave men who dare to stand in the way
of his accursed ambition. He threatens to
disperse all meetings held to oppose his re
election, anti to arrest all speakers who may
choose to nlntion ! his public career in terms
of disspprolpion. -For this purpose he de
clares he will use his black militia. And
these janizarfes, that are to crush out the last
vestige of fdtedom in Tennewe, are armed
at the expenk of the United States, Congress
having directed 10,000 stand of arms to be
placed at the disptisal of Brownlow for that
purpose. Was ever a country cursed with
such infernal knavery us this, since the day
when "Nero fiddled over burning Rome? If
all the fiends in the hotter's, of intlindeseent
hells were molten into one gigantic devil, and
if such a demoniac monstrosity were .fed on
vitriol and saltpetre for ten ‘ centuries, and
then let loose to inve'nt a curse for this land,
he could be furnished a recipe for all he de
sired to accomplish, by that incarnation of
all that Is diabolical, BroWnlow, of-Tennes
see. •
RADICAL STATESMANSHIP.
The hoots and jeers at BIC - Impeachment
Committee are numerous and hearty. The
fizzle 'is complete. There is hardly a Radi
cal who will say a good , tford . for the pro
ject, now that it is as dedd its the deadest
kind of 'a dead door nail. The President
has norcondescended to notice the attempt
to deprive him of his position. Busy Radi
cal men like Tilton, have tried
to write up the abject terror under which he
labored, but it wits the merest bosh that
ever was penned. The President laughed at
the threats of impeachment. He could have,
probably bought up almost all the Commit
tee at any time, but.they were not worth the
purchase. Boutwell, of all the extremest,
save Butler, presents the most ridiculous
figure. He has been first to asperse and first
to apologize. How to back gracefully out of
his plight he is at a loss to conceive.. Like
all small men mentally, he is obstinate us a
mule, Or he would gain for himself some re-
frankly admitting that there was no basis
for an impeachment, that the calumnies
were shallow, that:the charges were unsu.s.
Wined and the means used to bolster them
up disgraceful to all concerved. But after
all he may vote for the minority, report, for
his nature is a beautifully "inconsistent"
one, ac shown when he was Governor
In_ his veto of a bill one day and his
signing it the hey.t. Awl of such.stuff Radi
cal statemanship is made. '
THE ABLEST LEGAL MINDS WITH
THE DEMOCRACY.
The Lancaster Intelligeucer, in noticing
the fact that the late Democratic State Ju
dicial Convention was largely composed of
lawyers, pays the following well-merited
compliment to that clam of .Democratic
supporters :
"It is - a 'het that a very large proportion of
the ablest lawyers in the country are mem
bers of the Democratic party. Nor is it
strange that such should lie the case.
Trained as lawyersure to a reverence for the
law and respect for established principles of
government, they are less likely to be car
ried away by sudden gusts of political ex
citement than any other ch&s of the com
munity. Within the last ten years the Dem
ocratie party has received great accession to
its ranks from the best lawyers of the coun
try. They have cast In their lot with it,
because they could tint approve of the prin
ciples advocated by its opponents. Even in
the strongest Republican counties in Peure,
sylvania the Democratic side of the bar is
always distirquished for its ability. They
are Democratic from principle, and they ad
here firmly to the party because it adheres
to the great truths upon which such a gov
ernment as ours must depend for its perpe
tuity. There is no nobler or abler body of
men than the Democratic lawyers of the
country, and Pennsylvania has a full share
of them.

it must land us in the end in tv financial crash

There was a remarkable freedom from the
customary caucusing and wire.working at
political gatherings, and all the members
seemed to be inspired by a determination to
usc their best efforts to promote the harmony
of the organization, and select a candidate of
such unquestionable titnes.s . as to make his
nomination a guarantee of success. Among
the delegates were many of the oldest and
ablest members of the party, though a ma
jority were young men, burning with enthu
siasm for the cause, - and, zealous to meet the
enemy once more on the issues which he has
chosen to give battle upon. In calling the
Convention to order, Mr. Wallace made the
following stirring remarks : .
Two years since yon called . me to the
head of your organization. 'I accepted ps
duty that which I had not sought as an
honer, and I bring you now no memories
of battles won or of victories gained,' but
those of forces marshalled, of contest waged,
of principles defended.
The' Public had Just passed through a, war
of gigantic proportions. Our political foes
had wielded the physical, financial and mor
al power of the whole. The soil of every
battle-field had been reddened with the
blood of members of our organization seal

Hon. Daniel M. Fox, late Detimeratie can
didate for Mayor of Philadelphia, was
selected as temporary Chairman, and a awn
her of_gentlemen as Secretaries. The first
business in order being the selection of a per
manent President, it was resolved that heist
eleeted by a rice nee vote of the Convention,
and the following gentlemen were placid in
nomination: Charles E. Boyle, of Fayette:
John S. 3FCalmont, of Venango ; Jere
miah S. Black, of Fork, and William Hap-
Ida}, Washington. The names of J. S.
3Foalmont and Wm. Hopkins-were subse
quently 'Aiithdrawit by the gentlemen who
_nominated them, at their own request.
Judge Black made a brief speech desiring
the withdmiat of his name, and suggested
that the COnventien should unite in. placing
Mr. Boyle in_ the chair, its permanent presi
dent, This was the first occasion in which
Judge Black sought to obtain the ear of the
Convention, and the In luitl , :tuttions of wel
come showed very clearly the high apprecia
tion of the delegates for his distinguished
services Mid great' abilities. He playfully ,
alluded to the fact that if he was called on
by the Convention to disentangle a compli
cated legal problem, he=might possibly be of
some use, but as he had never presided over
a deliberative body of this, character in his
life, and never but once before been a-mem
ber of a political convention, lie thought it
would be the puirt of wisdom in the ConVen
tMri to select a gentleman like Mr. Boyle,
versed. in the thoiry, and' ractice of parlia
menffiry law: Iq spite of . Judge Black's
urgent desire not to lie regarded as a candi
date, many of his friends persisted in voting
for hint, and the result of the' baltot:waa
announced as follows: _Charles E. Boyle, 74
votes ; J. S. Black, 41.
Hearty cheers hailed Mr. Boyle's appear
ance 'in the Speaker's chair. The "young
Democracy" seemed .to regard his election
with peculiar pleasure. Mr. Boyle was one
of the youngest, if not thevery youngest man
in the Convention. His election hod anoth
er significance. In the last Legislature, of
which Mr. Boyle was a member, his ability,
personal. integrity 'and devotion to correct
principles was especially marked, by its con
trast with the corruption that ruled at liar
risburg in the rinks of the dominant party.
In . fact, he made his mark not only as nu
able and rising ynang, man, but as an hormit
man. :timid unprecedented treachery to the
public interests, lie was neither to be bought
or sold. This was what the Convention, or
at least many of the delegates, proposed to
i
honor n . electing so young a man as Mr.
Boyle, as the presiding officer. After flue
applause that welcomed him to the chair had
subsided, Mr. Boyle addressed the Cuinven
tion in a modest and somewhat embarrassed
manner, as follows:
GENTLEur's OF xtrE CoirvEzinoii:—l ant
grateful to you for the honor of being called
to preside over your deliberations. No man
came to this city expecting, less than myself,
to be chosen for the -position I now occupy.
-It wets an honor I had no right- to look-tot,
and which I certainly did not anticipate.
One of the youngest men of the Convention,
I accept the honor as intended to the young
Democracy of the State, [cheers rather than
to to Myself, and in 'their name thank you
for it.
I may say, gentlemen,"with- propriety, and
truthfully, that no Convention that ever as
sembled in this State, embodied more of the
talent and worth of the Democratic party
thaw is now present in this - Around
me I look upon the veterans of that grand
organization—upon those who led It in the
days of its triumph, and Who were . faithiW to
it in the days Oita disaster& isee its young
men, its hope in the Adore. - [Cheers] To
the one we look for wise counsels, and to the
other-for tietnitj- . and energy which 'shall
make those counsels effective. And of all
the Ottingvulshed 'gentlemen here assembled,
let me say, that - none Quid higher in the (Fs-
Ilmetion of the Democratic party; none has
a firmer hold on its affections ; none has ren
dered his country more valuable skims;
none has been more steadfast and faithful,
, . e-.
through good and through evil rePort,thzukthe
very distinguished gentleman - 1n preference
to whom It has pleased yOu to select the to
preside to-day. Ilis.party honors -him now,
and the time will, come when ti 'whole Deetple
will praise his name for" the very .great 'Ser
vices he has rendered to the cause of civil
liberty. [Applause]
We have assembled, gentlimen, as the rep
resentntkves of the Democratic verty, to de
elate its otilliimis relative to the present des
pkuable ontstiktion...a. the country...and Jo
place in nomination its candidate for Judge
of the Supreme Conn, to succeed" Judge
Woodward--a man whom we all honor, and
whose services On the bench we shall lose
with vefy great *ire!. ftliedA] The names
of several gentlemen have been mentioned
in connection 'with the position, and I feel
warranted - in ;saying that - the Convention
cannot greatly err in selecting any one of
them. To the Judiciary we mast look for
the pleservation;or, ,rather, restoration of the
- maples' Ilhertles; :Mil it if 'krutilytng to
know that should any one of the gentleman
now named be elected, the people will not
look to hint in vain.
When we come to declare the principles
and opinions of the Democratic party, let Ili
give,
give forth no uncertain remind.' If we do, xvrr
will not declare Mme .prhiciples and c:lda
ions truthfully. The Demoeratic "party ik- -
cupit% no equivocal position. nor should we,
its representatives, do an: It entertains very
cleareonvietions upon the great -questions
which now divide the people, and it looks to
us to declare those convictions with equal
clearness. And let us do so. [Applause:]
Let us speak as they deserve of those :nets of
the dominant party which have been subver
sive of the fundamental principles - of our
government. ! fro. the •Detnocratie party the
people .will owe the restoration of those prin
ciples of Republican liberty upon which the
government wei founded, should 'they ever
toe rytored, and laws -tozday give _there as
surance that they shall not look to it in vain.
We should tieelitre that the 'Welter) not
rn
suited in a dissolution of the Union—that the
boundaries of the Republic have not. been
contracted—that.Re go
publicangovernment
shall exist upon the borders • of the gulf as
well es upon the borders or the mitts, and
that wherever tile flag floats, there the peo
ple shall be free. [Great Cheering.] Let
that assurance go' out to all MI6 States, and
all the people thereof. It is our highest duty
to see that the free Government our fathers
made, - the cardinel object of which was the
individual liberty,Oftififjpeople, shall be pre.
served to ourselves and transmitted to our
posterity.
agam thank-you, gentlemen, for the un
merited Minor you have. done Me. I will
perform my duties as hest I can, and I ask
von to exercise forbearance toward me.
'Great applause.]
V:innuittee,of one from each Senatorial

Col. HOSA Thompson being the member
for this district. It was previously agreed
that all resoldtions relating to questioMi, of

be referred to this Committee. A. Conimit;
tee on permanent organization, consisting of
one from each Senatorial , diStriet, was also
chosen, G. W. lieeker,'Esq., of Crawford,
being the member for this district. They
reported a list of thirty-three ViCe Presidents,
and eigtteee Secretaries; the Vice Presi
dent for our district being Pearson Church,
of Crawford, and the Secretary, Benjim
Within:km.of Erie. Nominations being next
in order, the following. persons'were named
RS candidates for Supremo Judgo:
John WJ,Maynartl, of Northampton.

George Sharswood, of Philadelphia.
James H. Gruham, of Cediberland
Walter IL Lowrie, of Allegheny.

Geo. W. Woodward, oY Luzerne.
Henry D. Foster, of Westmoreltind.
Cyrus L. Pershing, of Cambria. -
Wm. Elwell, of Columbia.
The name, of Min. George W, Woodward
was, at the request of several of his personal
friends, withdrawn . , it being stated that he
did not desire is t become a candidate, :fudge
Mecalmont, ofVenango, who Proposed Gen.
Foster's name, also withdrew it, at the in
stance of the" delegaMs feom the latter •gen•
tleman'A
: home. The Convention, after the
announcement of these names, waited for
some time on the Committee on Resolutions,
but that committee not appearing, Wm. D.
Moor - e, Esq., of Allegheny, was invited to ad
dress the delegates, {Odell he did at consid
erable length,'und in an argumentative and
intemaing manner.' At the close of his re
marks, a vote was taken, rica res-c, fora can
didate for tiuprente Jude, resulting, as fol
lows : , .
John W. Maynard received
James Jivedreceived _ _
George AthisWood reeeivixt "
James H. Graham received 6 "
Walter H. Lowrie received 16 "
Robert J. Fisher received 9 "
Gaylord Church received. . "
Benjamin Grant received
Cyrus L. Pershing received
William Elwell received
It is but proper to say tilt Mr. Grant's
name- was submitted ' to the Convention
merely 113 a Compliment to his legal abilities
by the defer airs enunky, as were
those of moA i 1 the gimtleinen 'tamed. The
sentiment of the Convention iris so unmis-
takably in ttvor of Judge Sharswood from
the,statt, as to leave no hope for the choice
of any Other Candidate, however Pomilar or
competent he might be. M. Grant's legal
abilities were freely admitted by many dele
gates to the Convention, and' the Lena was
common that when the Jtominatjon should
lw conceded to the }Pest, his name would be
hailed with favor by 'the party throughout
the State.
There lwing no choice a second vote was
,ordered ; but previous to its being taken Mr.
Moore, of Allegheny, withdrew the name of
Judge Lowrie, and submitted to the Conven
tion that In view of die 'vote just taken, Judge
Sharswoodi should be nominated by oedema
tion, but cries or "no;"--" no," and demands
for another vote came from all parts of the'
ball. The names of Messrs. Grant, Church,
Graham and Elwell were withdrawn from
the list of candidates. The second vote re
sulted as follows: - 6
George Sharswood received 85 votes ; Jno
IV. Maynard 15; James Ryan 11; Robert J
Fisher 9.
The-President said; " lion. George Sitars
wood, of Philidelphia, having received a
majority of the votes cast,T hereby declare
him duty nominated as the Democratic can
didate for the office ofJudge of the Supreme
Court of Pennsylvania."
Judge Black said he had not the privilege
of- vOting for judge Sharswood, (being in
structed for Judge Fisher,) but he could say
to the,Convention that he had known the
Judge for many years, and he was glad to
bear testimony to liis Oat merits, as a man
and it lawyer. He knew that there was not
an unsound spot upon him. [Cheers.) He was
one of the foremost men, if not the foremost
man of the Commonwealth ; and that is say
ing, as much as can he said of any
man in this country. He had especially
known Judge Sharswood in his judicial and
professional character. No man ,would go to
him and ask for justice and not get it. -He
will stand by the Constitution and adminis
ter the law in its purity. He had always
thought that Judge Sharswod , shotiltt hav'e
been nominated for the,Supreine bench fifteen
imam ago, -or when the .elective judiciary
went into operation. There was at least one
person nominated then (referring to himself)
who might have been well replaced b*Judge
Sharswood. (Cries of no !Ito!) Judge Black
concluded his brief speech` by' moving that
theyomination of Judge Sharswood be made'
unanimous. The motion was carried by ac
clantlttkm. • • • • •

Roared. That the thanks of the Democrat
ic party of Pennsylvania Are eminently due
to the lion. William A. Wallace, for the faith
ful manner. in which be has discharged his
ditties as Chairman of the State Centtal Cote, ,
mittde for the State, and express. the opinion
that higher honors await him.

one from each Senatorial district, Waß ettOSent
with authority to act, in coimeetion With the
Chairman, until January Ist, 1869.
Pearson Church, Esq., of Crawford, is
the member -f our *aria The com:
Mittee 04 resolution s *ere announced as
being reptirt. 'illetipratincted session, last
ing netutrilialf a day, had been owing to that
diScussintr of tbeAproprtety of a resolution
endorsing President Johnson. This was not
acceptable hi many of the Committee, al
though t ityftts proposed to limit the endorse
mint to tintipniovnl of the principles of his
vetermetongerof tho-%despoilsm bill" faille
government of the SemthernStates. Some of
the committee were underidood' to faYor
resolution criticising and censuring certain
actS of the President. A basis of agreement
was finally argiyed by withholding any
expresssion
.either t qf approbatidn or tlis,p
-promltion. The resolutions are,, therefore,
lent as to the national administration. Hon.
B. 31. Boyer, of Montgomery, Chairman of
the Committee, read the resolutions to the
Convention. They were received with the
wannest approval throughout, and at times,
especially Miring; the tending of the seventh •
•resoltnion, with tumnltucitts cheering. The
resolutinas are as follows:
We, the delegates of the Demoeratic party
of PermsAvanliAngindal Slate Convention
assembled, for the nomination of a candidate
for Judge of the Supreme Court. profoundly
grateful to the Supreme Ruler of the mice's('
for the return of peace to our beloved coun
try, but deeply anxious on hccount of the
trials and delays which impede the complete
restoration and re-union of nil the States, and
appreciating the dangers which still threaten
the safidy of our political institutions and the
future peace,, liberty and prosperity of the
people, re:Solve.
1. That we steadfastly adhere to the prin.
ciples of civil government.established by the
1 founders of the Union.; and in the priwut
conflict of legislative usurpation with consti
tutional law, we esteem a wise; upright. and
fearless judiehtrY the great bulintrk of public
liberty end individual right. '
That the union of the States is perpetu
al and the Federal - GovernMent supreme
within its constitutionatlimits, .
3. That Representation m the - Congress of
the United States, and in the 'electoral col
lege, is a right fundamental and . itutestniet
able in its nature and abiding in every State,
120,11ga duty as well as a right pertaining to
'the people of every State and essential foam
Benubhean system of government. Its de--
nial -is- the. aestruetion of the Government

the coercive exercise of Federal power; and
we shall resist to the last resort the threatened

State Of Penusylyapia..
••- ••••••-ell ;lay aMendment
o f the c; , :;...ite•ims tEC I e'State giving to ne
groes the right or suffrage.
d. That the failure of the Tariff Bill in the
last session of the hoe Con , n-ess, more than
three-fourths of whose members belonged to
Uto Republican may, is an illustration of
their infidelity to their pledges and their neg
lect of their professions' in relation ;to the
great industrial and finanehtl interests of the
country!
7. That the - Radical Majority in Congress,
and those who sustain themlinve overthrown
me constitution,' dismembered the Federal
union ann sum ronnhlican onvornam ,zt
by a long series of usurpations. among which
arc the following: , • .
denial the right of States or the
Union to representation in Congress:
Their treatment of ten States as subjugated
provinces and governing them by - military
force in time of peace.
Their enactment of laws denying indemni
ty for arrests and false imprisonments made
without authority of law. ' •
Their resistance of the huthority of the civil
trihunals - Ml their overthrow in. the substi
tution of military enmmissions "Tor the trial
of undefined oftinses.
Their efforts to destroy the executive and
judicial departmentS of the Government by
the- threatened inmeachinent% to control ex
ecutive action, and a projected "remodel
ling" of the Supreine Court of the United
States to force. obedience to
. Congressional
mandates. •
. Their ejection:l'mm their seats in the Fed
eral Senate and House, of Members duly and
legally chosen. '•
That the nerirose of confiscation in viola
tion of the Declaration of Rights and other
guarantees of the - rederal and State thinstitu
tions, tending as it does, to destroy all pro
tection to private property. adyan&st them
far on the high road to repudiation.
S. That a strict "conformity,' both .b . y the
Federal and State Goveruuients, to all the
powers, restrictions and guarantee :4: its orm
tained in the Constitution of the United finites,
a rigid and wise economy - in the administra
tion of -public affairs. and the election 0
capable, honest and patriotic men to office..
are measures absolutely necessary to restore
plthlic confidence, avert national bankruptcy
and to ensure the perpetuity of our free ,
in
stitutions.
14 vote.

9. That the late Republican Legislature of
this State has distinguished itself for the num
ber of its unwise and. unconstitutional enact
ments. Some of these laws have already been
judicially determined to be unconstitutional,
others are unwise. inexpedient, oppressive
and funaticC and the members who sustained
them shoultj be condemned by the people at
the polls.
10. That the candidate we this day present
to the people of Pennsylvania fora place on
the Supreme Bench of the State, is in all re
spects worthy of the confidence and support
of all who are in titvor of 'an enlightened,
faitlititl and impartial administration of the
laws.

- 11. That Ole TiOnneraCy Or Pennsylvania,
by their reprtsentatives now assembled, here
by tender their acknowledgments and thanks
to the Hon. George W. Woodward in his re
tirement from the position of Chief Justice of
this Commonwealth, for the pure, faithful and
able manner in which he discharged the du
ties of that exalted position.
Mr. Platt, of Wyoming, moved that a com
mittee of thirteen, of which Hon. Richard
