OF PHILADELPHIA.
RESOLUTIONS
OF TE DEMOCRATIC STATE COHVEHTIO*.
Wethe delegates of the Democratic party of Penn
sylvania, in General State Convention assembled for
the nomination of a candidate for Judge of the Su
preme Court, profoundly grateful lo the Supreme
Ruler ot the Universe lor the return of peace to our
beloved country, but deeply anxious on account of
the trials end delays which impede the complete res
toration and reunion of all the States, and apprecia
ting tho dangers wh'eh still threaten the safety of
onr political institutions, and the future peace, lib
erty and prosperity of the people
Rttohtd, 1. That we steadfastly adhere to the
principles ot civil government established by the
founders of the Union, and tn the present conflict of
legislative usurpation with constitutional law, we
esteem a wise, upright, and fearless judiciary the
great bulwark of public liberty and individual
right.
2. That the Union of the States is perpetual, and
the Federal government supreme within its conatitu
tionai limits.
3 That representation In the Congress of the
United States and in the Eiectorial College is a
right, fundamental and indestructible in its nature,
and abiding in every State, being a duty as well as
n right pertaining to the people in every State, and
essential to our republican system of government.—
Its denial is the destruction of the government it
4. Eai"h State having, aider the Constitution.the
exclusive right to prescribe the qualifications of its
own electors, we proclaim as a usurpation and an
outrage the establishment ot negro suffrage in any
of the States by the coercive exercise of federal pow
er, and we shall result to the last resort to# threat
ened measures of the lenders of the Republican par
ty to interfere by act of Congress with the regula
tion of the elective franchise in tbe State of Penn
sylvania.
5. We are opposed to any amendment of the Con
stitution of tbis Stale giving to negroes the right of
suffrage.
6 That the failure of the tariff bill in the last
session of the late Congress, more than three-fourths
of whose members belonged ot tbe Republican party,
is an illustration of their infidelity to tbeir pledges
and their neglect of their professions in relatien to
the great industrial and financial interests of the
conn ry.
7 That the Ra lieal majority in Congress, and
those who sustain th-ra. have overthrown tbe Con
stitution, dismembered tne Federal Union, and sub
verted republican government by a long series of
usurpations, among which are the following :
Their denial of the right of States ot the Union to
r- presentation in Congress.
Their treatment of ten States as snbjugation prov
ii ees, and governing them by military force in time
of peace.
Their enactment of laws denying indemnity for
arrest and falsa imprisonments made without au
thority of law.
Their resistance of the authority of tbe civil tri
bunals. and their overthrow by the substitution of
military commissions for the trial of undefied of
fenses.
_ Tbeir efforts to destroy the Executive and Judi
ciary departments ot the government, by threatened
impeachment to control executive action and a pro
jected "remodeling" of the Supreme Court of the
United Stales le force obedience to Congressional
mandates.
Th*ir ejection from thtir seats in the Federal Sen
ate and House of members dnlj and legally chosen.
Their purpose of confiscation, as avowed by tha ''
Republican leaders, in violation of tha Declaration
of nights and other guarantees of Federal and State
constitutions tending, as it does, to destroy all pro
tection to private property, advances them far on the
highroad to repudiation.
8. That a strict conformity, both by the Federal
and State governments, by all powers, restrictions,
and guarantees, ascsntained in the Constitution of
the United States ; a rigid and wise economy in the
administration of public affairs, and the election of
capable, honest, and patriotic men to office, are
measures absolutely necessary to restore public con
fidence, to avert national bankruptcy, and to insure
:he perpetuity of our free institutions.
9. Thnt the late Republican Legislature of this
State has distinguished itself by the number of its
unwise and unconstitutional enactments. Some of
these laws have already ben judicially determined
to be unconstitutional ; others are inexpedient,
oppressive and fanatical, and the members who sus
tained tbein should ba condemned by the people at
the polls.
10. That the power and success of the Democratic
party greatly depend on the character and efficiency
ol its newspaper press and that to give due force to
its usefulness, this Convention earnestly request
that in every county all the members of the Dem ■-
eralie party should make vigorous efforts to increase
its circulation by giving it their individual patron
age and support
11. That the Democracy of Pennsylvania by their
representatives now assembled, hereby tender their
ncknowleJgeincats and thanks to the Hou. George
W. Woodward in bis retirement from the position
of Chief Justice of this Commonwealth, for the pure
nod faithful, and able manner ia which hr discharg
ed the duties of that exalted position,
12. That the candidate we this day present to the
people of Pennsylvania for a place on the Supreme
Bench of the State, is, in all respects worthy of the
von6dence ard si pport of all ho are in favor of au
enlighened, faithful and imperial uduiistratiou of the
I •v.
The Radical State Convention.
The Radical State Convention met at
Williams port, on Wednesday the 29th ul
timo, and after nine ballots, nominated
Uekkt W. Williams, of Pittsburg, 9 the
candidate of the party they represent, for
Judge of the Supreme Court. The Read
ing Gazette says : Mr. Willijins is a na
tive of Connecticut, and was therefore
preferred by the Radicals to \ Pennsylra
nian-born candidate. He now holds the
office of Associate Judge of the District
Court of Allegheny county, and although
said to be a fair lawyer, is so little known
outside of that county, that even some of
the papers of his own party are confound
in* him with the Hon. Thomas Williams,
the present member of Congress from that
District.
The resolutions of the Convention de
nounce President Johnson • applaud Sher
idan and Sicklpss for their despotic exer
cise of military domination over the down
trodden people of the South ; endorse the
Reconstruction measures of Congscsg;
mildly •'trust that such legislation will be
secured at the earliest period as will af
ford adequate protection to American in
dustry," but are silent upon the subject of
the corruptions of the last Legislature, and
dodge the question of negro suffrage alto
gether.

We hear a great deal about PACIFIC ;
RAILROADS now A-DAJA, but we have rea- j
son to think that tbey are not very pacific.
The catting through the great gorges of
the Sierra Nevada*, now finished, was
done only after many combats with the
solid rocks, and fighting Indians on the
Platte, and thus clearing the track np to
the Rocky Mountain, is certainly not the
most patific business in the world. And
yet, the building of this greatest line of
railway ever known will bind the two sides
of the continent closer together, and, like
the electric wire, the iron track will help
preserve the equilibrium between any
storm clouds that may arise. East or West
in the future. There are six railways call
ed "Pacific," which deserve the title, from
the fact that they are doing nothing, while
there are two Companies which are con
structing the only Great Pacaflc line across
the continent. These are the Central Pa
cific of California, which has 94 miles in
operation, and ten thousand men at work
building east from Sacramento; and the
Union Pacific, chartered by act of Con
gress, which is building west from Omaha,
Nebraska. The Union and Central Pacif
ic will meet and form but a single line.—
The Union Pacific Company, Gen. Jobu
A. Dix, President, and Ho.i. John J. Cisco,
Treasurer, with a Board of Directors com
posed of some of the most experienced
railroad builders in the country, has an
authorized capital of one hundred million
dollars (of which five million dollars have
been paid in on the work already done.)
This Company has already expended over
seventeen million dollars on the road, and
has 400 miles in operation, and it is un
der contract to be done to the eastern base
of the Rocky Mountains, a distance of
517 miles, in September next.
The energy with which the work has
been pushed on, and the. amount already
done, make us credit the estimate of the
Company's engineers, that the Atlantic
and Pacific will be united by rail in 1870.
When this happy event takes place, there
will be a grand re-union between the long- j
separated parents and children ot our far
East and farthest West, and the live
Yankee may see the sun rise over Boston
Light House, Monday morning, and set
through the Gold -n Gate ot San Francis
co on Saturday night. This great result
will nut be accomplished without a liberal
expenditure of money, although it is be
lieved that about one hundred million dol
lars will be sufficient for the purpose. Ot
this sum, the U. S. Government advances
Fifty million dollars in the U, S. Six per
cent currency interest bonds, taking a sec
ond lien upon the road for security. The
interest on these bonds is paid out of the
U. S. Treasury, and the Govtrnmcnt re
serves one half the amount of the Company' 6
bills for transportation as a credit against
tbis account. The Government permits
the companies to issue their own First
Mortgage Bonds to an equal amount, and
also donates 12,800 acres of land per mile
as additional aid, but as these lands will
greatly increase in value as the road pio
gresses, it is considered a wise policy to
keep them out of market for the present,
so as to obtain a better price at a futuae
early day.
The Union Pacific railroad has become
so indispensable to the Government for
the transportation of troops and stores to
its forts in the mountains, and to £>sist in
arresting Indian hostilities, that General
Sherman, who commands the U. S. ftftres
-in that region, says "that it could well af
ford to build the whole line, and make
money by tne operation." For this, as
well as mote general reasons connected
with the public welfare, Congress granted
such liberal although necessary assistance
as would ensure the speedy c -nipletion of
the work. The fact that during the pres
ent season the Union Pacific has laid down
an average of nearly two miles of track per
day, is evidence that the confidence of the
Government in the Company has not been
misplaced.
But while liberal, the U. S. Government
has takeu good care of its own interests.
It issues its own bonds to the Company
only as each section of twenty miles is com
pleted, and then only after the Government
Commissioners have carefully examined
the work, and pronounced it first-class in
every respect, and fully equipped with lo
comotives, cars, etc-, an J ready for business
On the first 517 miles—on the easy portion
of the road—it issues its bonds only at the
rate of $16,000 per mile, and on the more
difficult portion at the rate ot $52,000 pbr
mile; and for 150 miles ot the lioeky
Mountain Region at the rate of $43,000
per rade. The Union Pacific Railroad
Company is also restrained by its charter
from issuing its First Mortgage Bouds ex
cept as the work pi ogresses, and to the
same amount on the various sections as
are issued by the Government. The mort
gage which secures the made
to Hon. E. D. M<rgn, U. S. Senator,
from New York, ar.d Hon. Oakes Ames,
Member of the U. S. House of Representa
tives, from Massachusetts, a> trust es, who
alone can issue the Bonds to the Company,
and who are responsible for their issue in
strict accordance with the terms of the law.
The amount of the bonds is probably not
more than one third, and is certainly not
one half of the cost of the road.
The only question of value that can
then arise, is : Will the read do a paying
business ? It is scarcely worth while to
answer it seriously.
Will the only railroad between the great
Atlantic And Pacific States pay *
Will the only road connecting the two
sides of a country which now contains
thiity-siz millions of people, pay ?
Will the shortest transit line between
Western Europe and China and Japan
pay f
Will a road that reduces the time sched
ule between New York and San Fraucisco
from twenty-two days to six, and reduces'
the fare one-half, pay ?
Will a road without competition, and
that can charge its rates, and that must do
all the transit business East and West for
36 States, pay?
Will a road that is the only highway to
all the immense mining regions of the
Rocky Mountains, and over wbicn the con
stantly increasing tide of emigration and
business to these new ElDorados must go,
payl
#11! a road which takes across the plaice
the freight that once required between
thirty and forty thousand wagous in a sin
gle season, pay f
Might we not ask with more propriety:
—How long will it be before a road doing
such a business will reqoire a double track
and was there not good reason for the re
striction imposed by Congress, that when
ever the company made more than ten per
cent, on its capital, it should reduce its
rates ?
These questions certainly answer them
selves, but a fact or two may be added,
The Union Pacific Railroad has no present
terminus. Its line i§ about two miles far
ther west to-day than it was yesterday,
and will be two miles farther to-morrow
than 10-day; but notwithstanding this, its
warehouses are running over with freight
for the mines, the levee at Omaha is cover
ed with it, and the Company's earnings
for tbe month of May were officially re
ported at $261.842, or enough to pay the
interest on the bonds several times over in
gold after ail expenses wore deducted, so
that if not another mile of tbe road was ever
built, the part now dote would constitute
an ample security for the First Mortgage
Bonds.
We write freely of this Union Pacific
Railroad, because wo consider it the great
national undertaking of the time. It will
be tbe longest line in the world; it also
seems as it it would be the most profitable,
and its completion will certainly be the be
ginning of a new era in our national prog
ress.
Reconstruction.
An Act supplementary to an Act entitled

is a supplement, that governments then

Who is Presldeut a! iiue United States 1
Certainly not Andrew Johnson. Be
cause :
Ist—The July session of Congress is con
vened, not by ttie President, in the White
House at Washington, hut by Thadd-jus
Stevens, in Pennsylvania. Tiie Constitu
tion 6sys the Presldeut 4 *ruay on extraordi
nary occasions convene both houses —or
ouc of them," but as the convening in this
case is at the instance of Stevens, a good
many people naturally enough, are conclu
ding that ho must be President of the Uni
ted States.
2nd. Others think it must he Secretary
Stanton, seeing that it is to him, and not to
Andrew Johnson, that soine of the South
ern Caliphs are adiressing their edicts, re
scripts, and communications. Thus to
day, the telegraph tells us, that Secretary
Stanton has refused to receive the resigna
tion of General Sickles. Andrew Johuson
is not permitted to have any voice in the
matter.
3d. Possibly, hovever, both of these
class's of persons maybe mistaken. The
Exix-Meodines to the conviction that Gen.
Sherioan is President. No man who is
not persuaded that he is invested with su
preme power , would have dared to write
sueh a letter as he did the other day to
General Grant, respecting the President's
orders.
j It may be, though, that the instead of
being but one President, as prescribed by
the constitution, we have now three or four

STEAMER NORTH AMERICA, )
April 20th 1867. j
DEAR MOTHER :
We left New York on
the 22d, and had a very pleasant passage
indeed, to Ft. Thomas, where we arrived
this morning at five o'clock. It is one of
the West India Islands, and owued by the
Danes, situated in North Latitude 18 dog.,
consequently very warm at this time of
year, Townsend, Mr. Osborne (a Rio
friend of mine.) and myself went ashore
together. We began the day by making
some few purchases, and we found every
thing in the liue of clothing at a figure
far below the prices at home. This results
from its being a free port. After getting
what we required at the stores, we found
it would be policy to take our packages
aboard the ship before taking a tramp
about the town, (which we had previously
decided upon.) We therefore returned to
the ship, and at about 1 P. M. sallied out
for a tour of the ♦own, We had heard,
before arriving, thai in olden times this
island bad been a resort for sea Pirates &c.
Among whom it is said there existed a
certain blue Beard and black Beard, whose
castles still exist. The castle of Black
Beard was situated upon the summit of a
bluff, a little back of the town, and wo
concluded to visit this as a beginning The
sun was intensely hot, the themoractor run
ning up to 104 ; consequently our progress
up the hill was very slow. Wc found how
ever, after getting well up that we were
refreshed by a fine breeze, which made it
at least tolerable. We found the old cas
tle, which it is said has been standing sev
eral huudrcd years. We asked permis
sion to asscend the Tower, but was told
that the stairs were so decayed that it was
unsafe and would not be allowed to go up.
I told the hoy (who haJ charge,) that we
would look in. at the base, which he per
mi;ted us to do. We took advantage of
this, and after experimenting a little, we
concluded to go up, which we finally did;
although I assure you the stairs were but
a honey comb, tbey had become so decay
ed by age. Yet we succeeded without auy
bad results. Ilad a view of the town and
harbor —found the nsmes of mafly of our
countrymen registered upon the ceiling,
and of course added ours to the rest. After
looking over this affair, we concluded to
visit the castle of Rlue Beard, which is al
so located upon the summit of a bluff
a* out enc mile distant from our previous
place of visit. We therefore proceeded to
this point, and found on descending the
hill, after enjoving the breeze on the sum
mit, that the sun appeared almost insuffera
ble. I think I never have in any place,
found the sun so oppressive as in the nar
row* streets of St. Thomas. We proceed
ed however, and after a tedious walk of an
hour, perhaps, we found ourselves at the
summit of hill No. 2, and at the castie of
Blue Beard. Th is castle has been pur
chase dby a French merchant, who has
renovated the whole establishment, and
has made a b'-autiful residence of it. Has
repaired the Tower also, so that it is verv
pretty, and affords a magnificent view of
the Town, shipping &c. Yet to the trav
eler it does not present the same features
of interest as the Black Beard Castle,
which has never been disturbed, but stands
in Hs natural state. After resting our
selves here for some ftime, we again de
scended to the boat-landing, where we
took a boat and returned again to our
ship We still had another excursion to
make, to the residence of old Santa Anna,
the Mexican Genera'. We did this after
supper, lie has a splendid establishment
H"e walked about the grounds, and finally
returned to the steamer at half past seven
very tin-d, yet right well satisfied with our
day's excursion. (Santa Anna was not on
the Island, having gone to N. Y.) I felt
some doubt as to the result of this tramp,
upon Albeit; he being quite weak from
eff cts of sea sickness. But I was glad to
learn next morning that he felt better for
it; and I believe the excursion was bene
ficial to us all after the close confinement
of the ship. Nearly all the inhabitant* of
this Island understand a: d speak the Eng
lish tongue. And American gold and sil-
Aer secin to be as good a currency as any
on the Island. At eight in the evening
we set sail and proceeded on our way to
ward Parra. our next stopping place, and
on the Brazilian coast.
Apr. 30—Nothing of interest has pre
sented itself to-day. We passed several
more barren looking Islands be
longing also to the West Indies. Our
Captain tells us that 'to morrow at eight
o'clock, we will pass Martinique, a "French
Island.' and as it is one of the finest of
these islands, we anticipate a grand treat.
May Ist. —At eight this morning we
made the Island of Martinique. Our Cap
lain, through consideration of a request
m'nde by some of the passengers, ran close
m beside this beautiful Island which af
forded a fine view of the whole length of
it; and certainly it is one of the prettiest
places I ever saw. The whole Island
seems to be cultivated, and presents the
appearance of one grand field of cane.—
There are several towns along the coast,
The city of St. Parre seems to be a large
city. Also noticed a large number of sii
gar refineries. I believe their principal
exports are sugar and rum It is said to be
one of the richest of the French Islands.
We were until late in the afternoon pass
ing it, and judging from the rate we were
sailing the Island must be about eighty
miles in length. Passing these places
makes it very pleasant tor the passengers,
and does away, in a grea' measure, with
the monotony that usually exists in mak
ing this voyage in a sailing vessel, (which
has been my bad luck heretofore.)
May 2nd, —This morning at two o'olock
we passed the Barhadoes, an English Is
land, said to be a verv rich one aho. As
we passed it so early of course we were
deprived of a view.
May 3d.— We find the ocean somewhat
rougher to-day than usual, and many of the
passengers are feeling again the effects of
sea sickness. We havQ escaped, however,
fevers, or sny sickeess of an epidemic na
ture which we consider very fortunate in
deed, and rather remarkable among so ma
ny passengers. We arrived at Parra all
safe, on the eighth. Went ashore, Town
send, Mr. Osborne end myself. I found
this city one of the poorest Brazillian cit
ies that I had seen. JPe took a carriage
and spent part of the dsy driving about the
suburbs. We found some very pretty
plaees on the out edge of the town. Our
party ere still enjoying health. Albert
seems to be suffering still from sea sickness,
although lie is not very bad ; but still be
does not take bis meals with any degree of
regularity, and unless the aea is very-Smooth
ne feels unsettled. Not another
passenger on the ship seems to be afflicted
as he is
May 10th.—We are now getting on
well toward Pernambuco, where we are
due on the 13th. We succeeded in get
ting our letters aboard the "Merrimac," the
return steamer from Rio. Wc passed her
in the Parra River,
SQUIRE.

♦*Por Carlotta."
"Poor Carlotta !" Maximilian was shot
faced to the front. IBs last words were
"Poor Carlotta !'' How tender and touch
ing is this convincing illustration of the
manly and generous nature of the fallen
Emperor. Abandoned by France, betray
ed by a Mexican follower, tried by a mili
tary tribunal of his implacable enemies,
condemned to death, and brought out for
execution, all interpositions in his behalf
from the representatives of foreign powers
having failed, this distinguished victim of
Napoleon's "grand idea" would have been
justified bad he devoted his last moments
in denouncing the contrivers of his destruc
tion and the barbarians thirsting for Ids de
blood, and in deploring his untimely fall
in the strength of his manhood and bis
hopes. But Maximilian was a man of lar
ger breadth of mind and heroism than this,
lie had deliberately cast his life into tbe
scales in defense of bis empire, he had
pledged his word in tbe name of bis impe
rial house of Hapnburg to fight it out with
his enemies, and like a true soldier, he was
prepared for this last disaster, lie lecog
nized his fate as resulting from the fortunes
of war, and had neither denunciations r.or
regrets on his own account to make. Like
the dying gladiator at Rome—
lie reeked not of his 1 ife, nor of the prize, ,
His heart was home, and that was tar away.
Face to lace with liis remorseless execu
tioners, awaiting; but the word to ''fire ! ' —
all thoughts of his lost empire and his low
estate gave way to those endearing mem
ories and sweet affections which had linked
his life, his happiness, his fate and his am
bition with "poor Carlotta !" As to a drown
ing man numerous events of his past life
running through many years of time are
vividly reproduced in a few fleeting seconds
so to this victim of Mexican vengeance
were, no doubt, recalled in the last mo
ments of his earthly existence those charm
ing rccolections of his young, beautifuhgif
ted, accomplished and devoted wife,where
by he had become so fascinated with his
Mexican empire and his hopes of the Mex
ican people, that he could only relinquish
them with Ijis wife. "Poor Carlotta !"•
Her triumphal journeys, her floral recep
tions, her welcome charities, her gracious
ways, her catholic pietv and her resistless
womanly gentleness among the suscptihle
Mexicans, were all so faithfully devoted to
his canse as to develop in him the heroism
of the feudal ages. He was her gallant
knight, equipped hy her own fair hands
for a glorious crusade ; 6he was his queen
of love and hcautv to whom his word as a
soldier and his faith as a devotee were
pledged. All these thoughts recurred to
him as the memories of a golden dream,
and fp-m these and that other thought,that
•tie had hopefully braved the dangers of
the seas, and the doubtful generosity of
France in hia behalf, only to bo repel'ed
in despair, and to be doomed to a living
death, came the inspiration to Maximilian
which was expressed in his last expressive
words—"Poor Carlotta !"
N<>r is there in the records of history,as
the las-t words of a dying saint or hero,
anything {riven which appeals so tenderly
to our better nature, to all that bcantifies
and softens the human character, as these
dying words of Maximilian —"Poor Carlot
ta !" They will crown in history this fall
en man. However mi-qruided he was in
bis ambition or in bis acts as a ruler, those
two words, with all their impressive and
redeemine associations, vill crown him
with the flowers of affection and the lau
rels of the hero. Had he recited and elo
quently vindicaied every step and every
act in his imperial career he would have
failed to reach the the eloquent defense
embodied in his dvinjr exclamation of
"Poor Cail-itta !" To her they will be
the woids of restoration or dissolution
for him they are the wreath of immortali
ty. "Poor Carlotta ! ' —iV. Y. Express.

the respect and confidence of the people of
Philadelphia, regardless of politics, anil is
known throughout the State as a gentle
man of fine legal talent, spotless integrity,
and dignity of charncter."
