C3T Read the Resolution* passed at tin* |
late Democratic State Convention. They
contain % roo*t aduijrable exposition of the
principles of the Democratic party.
JEST The proceedings of the Democratic
State and County couventions occupy so
much of our apace this week, as to make the
insertions of local rtems, even it we had an\,
almost impossible.
The Abolitionists of Ohio are sadly divi
ded about their candidate Cox. The radical*
are particularly bitter against him for conceal
nig his real negro suffrage sentiments and
truckling, as they think, to the conservatives
ty President Johoson has ordered that
persons implicated in the rebellion, agaiHsi
whom no special charges are pending, shall
be furnished passports for foreign countries
by the State Departmental they so desire, on
condition that they shall not re turn without
the President's permission,

The Democratic State C<nvent'on which
met at Harrishurg i>n the 24th was presided
over by Richard Vaux, who, upon taking the
chair, sa'd :
GENTLEMEN OF THE CONVENTION: The
Democratic party of Pennsylvania, by her
representatives, in conformity with the an
cient usuages of the party, are again assem
bled in State Convention.
Since the days of Thomas Jefferson, in eve
ry crisis of our country's history, Inve we as
semtled in these halls, year afier year, in th s
capital of the Commonwealth ; bold and de
fiant have we stood, by the principles of con
stitutioiial liberty, which can alone maintain
us as a happy and prosperous people.
Atuid threats of violence and :f.e menaces
of power, the Democracy never quailed Do
ring the last four years of war and oppression,
when all the pressure of executive power
was used to ror.trol the Democratic party,
when to be a Democrat was something more
thau at auv period in our past history, theDe
inocracy met t'ie enemy upon the great prmci
pl sot the Constitution ard dtfied the | any
it v [d iee it}
\Yc have met again. Let us do as our fa
thers in all ages before us have done, stand
on the broad principles of the Constitution
and ask for all it gives to the States or to the
people, and be t-aiisfitd with not ling else.
These principles cannot be chanced by fi
natics nr overridden by knaves, f Applause ]
Our fathers made this compact of f. d- rative
Union under hardly less than inspiration, and
it cannot be altered bv fanatics or degraded
bv power. Its provisions ate for ns and our
children.and military necessity shall not de
prive either tbese rights and privileges The
tights of the people are as dear to us as the
rights of the States, and the rights ol the
States are as dear to thp pe -ple as art their
individual rights.* One 'hing must be dis
tinctly understood. Our dignity and man
hood must not be degraded by social < quality
with an inferior race! [Great cheering|.
Geßllemeu of the Convention: Hiving bv
vnur partiality, been chi sen to preside over
vour deliberations, I ask your indulgence, and
promise to perform tnv duties to the best of
my ability. The Ch ur is now ready for vny
motion that may be made.
Tha Convention finally adopted, unani
m usly, the following r solutions, np-'t.d
by the Hon Jeremiah S. Black:
PLATFORM r
WHEREAS. It is the imperative duty and should
he the exclusive d :*tre of every American citizen
intrusted with the power of corn rolling public nffiirs
by bis vote or o'herw.se, to see that they are admin
istred with a single eye t"> the great nhje ds wbiih
outforet ithers bad in view when they laid tbe foun
dations of this republic, viz : To form a more erfect
un on ; establish justice : insu-e do meet i ! tranquili
tv : provide for the common defence ; promote the
general welfare, and secure the blessings of li* erty
co ourselves and our posterity.
WHEREAS. The men and the party administering
the Federal Government since 1861 have betrayed
their trust, violated their sacred obligations disre
garded the commands of tbe fundamental law, cor
ruptly squandered the public money, den el justice
to tbe people, perverted the whole government from
its original purpose, an I thereby have brought on
untold calamities upon the country; therefore he it
Resolced , That we. the Democracy of Pennsylva
ni i are now as we always have been, faithful to the
Union of the States, opposing the secession ot the
South with all our influence and having sympathy
or association whatever with the p ir'y in the North
which plotted against the I nion and p-onounced the
Constitution "a coveuant with death and an agree
ment with hell."
Second That if the c >unsels of the Democratic
party had prevailed the Union would have been
saved in all its integrity and honor, Without the
slaughter, debt and dsgr.ice ofot a civil war. But
when the formation of sectional parties in the North
and in the South,and the advent of one of these p tr
ues into the seats of power made war a f ct which
we could not counteract, we su-tained the Federal
authorities in good faith, asking nothing at their
hands except a decent respect for our legal rights
and some show of common honesty in the manage
ment of our financial aff.iirs, but in both these par
ticulars we were disappointed ami betrayed
Third. That the Constitution established by our
revolutionary fatheis is entitled to our unqualified
respect and obedience ; the oath to support it is bin
ding, religiously. morally, an I legally, at all times
under all circumstances, and in every part of the
country, upon all public officers, from the highest to
the lowest as well as upen private citizens; it is on
ly by a strict observance of its provisions, and a
id enforcement of its obligations in all the States,
that we can hope for uniou, liberty, or peace- He
who willfully violates it, or counsels violation by
others, is a public enemy and dishonest man.
Fourth. That among the rights guarantied to us
by the plainest words ol the Constitution are these :
Free press, freedom from arbitrary arrest and ille
gal imprisonmont, trial by jury, tbe writ of habeas
corpus, th* perfect immunity f all persons not in
the army or navv from any s|>eciea ot punishment
for crime or pretended crime which is not the legal
consequence of a legal conviction oy an impartial ju
ry, the absolute subordination of al military power
to the civil authority, and the privilege of white citi
zens to vote at the State elections, according to the
laws of the State,
Fifth, That we fully concur with President John
son in tbe conviction expressed by huu in 18b0, and
repeated several times since, that the Fedeial Gov
ernment is sovereign within its proper sphere ; that
it act* not through or upon the Siafes. ou directly
upon individuals ; thai the States could not absolve
the people from their Federal obligations ; that tbe
S>at ordinan eg of secession were nullities, and,
therefore, when the attempted revolution came to an
end by the submission of tbe insurgents, the Sfntes
were as much a part of the Union as they bad been
before. Their people were bound to the same duties
and clothed with the same rights excepting, of
course, such rights as individuals among them had
legally forfeited by their own acts in the meantime,
and we hereby declaie that so f r as we can prevent
it, the r sumption of their proper places in tbe Union
by those States, some of whose citizens were lately
in rebellion, shuil not be im;>eded or delayed by the
unlawful interference ot thut tuition at tbe North
which was always hostile to the Union, wh'ch now
pronounces it legally dissolve >, an I which is still
malignantly laboring to pr •vent it* res'oration.
Sixth That the efforts n w na<ng by certain
persons to use the power ot the G cue ml Government
with a view to force negro suffrage on the States,
against the will of the people aou conrrary to exis
ting luw, is not only a nigh crira • against the Cons
titution, but a deliberate attempt to put the States
otthis Union (all of theui more or less and some of
them entirely) under the douiintiou of negroes, to
Africanize a large portion of the country, and de
grade the white race, morally ani socially as ell
as politically to the low level of the tdack We will
not acknowledge tbe incapacity of our own ra:e to
fevers itself, n r rtnen lvr the deeritriM of the oona*
tr> into <he hinds of uegroex, nor pu Or el re un
der their guardian-hip, nor giro up to IUCUI (he priv
ileges which we inherited from our fathers, and we
exhort our br thren in other States to take up the
sauie attitude and maintain it firmly,
;>eveuth That we will support Presiient Johnson
in every just effort he may make to p ace al the
States in their proper positions. t give them a fair
repiesentatiin in Congress, to save them from the '
ourse ol nero equaliu; he shall ha.e our hearty ap
proval when he infii -ts legal punishment by meaas
of legal tribunals upon offenders against the Uuiied
States, nn Iwe will be with biin in every means
wh eh looks to the maintenance of the public credit
But our full approval of his administration can be
founded only in the belief that he will execute the
law, the whole law, and nothing but th# law in all
parts of the country ; that he will no' allow the mil
itary to interiors with the State elections ; that he
will punish kidnapping and robbery through tbe le
gal authorities, whether committed by Federal offi
cers or private citizens, and that he will suffer no
petson to be murdered by military commission, and
upon these measures there can be no compromise; he
that is not for us is against us
Eighth. That in view of our enormous national
debt, ihe great weight of our State taxes, and tbe
local burdens imposed upon us in divers ways, econo
my and entrenchment becomes an imp irtant duty
of all our representatives, and to this end the vast
standing army now on t<iot ought to be disuanded
tbe uavy should be reduced, and tbe corrupt and ex
trav gant practices lately introduced into the gov
ernment should be totally abolished.
Niuth. That our revenue laws need to be careful
ly revised in such * manner that while the public
creii will be maintained and tbe national honor
preserved, taxation will be equal and just,
Temu, That the gallant soldiers of the republic,
who so nobly risked their lives in defense of the Un
ion and the Constitution, merit and will receive tbe
undying gratitude of the Amotican people. Living,
they shall live if our warmest affections, and dying,
their memories will be cherished for all time to come.
To say as our poMti-al opponents do. that tbey
fought and bled, and died mainly for the freedom of
the negro, is a gross insult oa their patriotism, and
an outrage which will be intignantly resented by
their surviving comrades through the ballot-box.
Eleventh. That tbe ruble tnannir in which tbe
Democratic press of this Commonwealtn have con
tended in the defense of the liberties of the nation,
amid trills and difficulties almost unparalleled, is
deserv ing of our grateful recognition, and should en
title it to the encouragement of eveiy constitution
loving-citizen.
Twclt.h That we reaffirm our adherence to the
Monroe ooctrine.
Adopted ananimonsly.

The Abolition Platform.
The two following resolutions contain all
the pith of the platform adopted by the abo
lition Convention a' Harrisburg, on the 17ih
instant:
3. Tha' the mild and generous method of
reconstruction offered by the President to
the people lately in rebellion in the judg
ment of this Convention, has not been ac
cepted in the spirit of h >nety. loyaltv and
gratitude, but with such evidence of defiance
and hostility as to impel us to tha convic
tion that ihey cannot safely be entrusted
with -he pol'tical rights which they forfeited
by their treason, until they have proven their
acceptance of the results of the war, bv in
crrpnrriing them in constitutional provisions
and securing to all men within their bor
ders in their inalienable rights life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness.
4, That having conquered the rebellious
Sta'es, they should be held in subj crion,
and the treatment they are to receive and
the laws which are to govern them, should
be referred t" the lawmaking power of the
nation to which it legitimately belongs.
Nothing can be plainer than that the con
vention and the party are opposed to the "re
construction* principle of the President. He
is in favor of entrusting the people of the
South with political rights, reorganization of
the S'afe governments, and their represents
tion in Congress ; while the abolition party
of Pennsylvania wants them 'HELD IN SUB
JECTION' as a conquered people, governed by
laws made by C >ngres. Are the people of
the North s- ready for a military establish
ment necessary to hold the people 'in sub
jection' and rule over them ?
Local and I'ersonaL
Capt. Joseph Camp, one of the few remaining
heroes of the wr of 1812, died st his residence in
Lemon Tp in this County, a day or two since.—
