The . NominatioOs of the State[couvention•
In accordance With the ackision of the late
•Democratic Stao Convention, *o this week 1
raise to our malft, head
_the +nes : of Hon.'
;
demEs BUCHANAN, for(llo:treS , envy, and . 1)f l
' ISRAEL PAINTED , oTIV/for 91.13 Calpfilisilion
0, as the choice Of theatei#craey of Pennsyl
vania for the respective, offi6es is, which they
have been nomin4ted. 'ln doing so, of course,
it will be - expected that we sheik accomiany it
with some remarks, which ate h‘re submitted.
It is well knoWn to our 'readers generally,
that we, in company with, we hdlieve, a major-
ity of-our Democratic citizens of the county,
have been indisposed to favor the nomination
of Mr. Buchanan. And we have done so, as
we claim, not only in accordatce with our priv:
liege, but with tbe best o Motives. Nor do
we conceive how ; we could haves:done different-
ly, and at the same time maintained faithfully
the position of an expOnent of the principles
of the Democratic party in this county. Our
readers are all aware that this paper took ear
ly grounds in faior of what is Called the Wil
mot Proviso, ano that, moreover , its course in
relation to that question was adiply and utc
' quivocally sustained by the party, in a mass
Convention, regularly constituted ; no longer a
go than a year ago last January, and that at
do time since lids the party ever attempted• to
repudiate its action at that'timii. Such being
the case, what evidence had we that the peo
ple, whose united voice then spoke in its favor;
had changed tiMir opinion, or ;were ready to
abandon such a policy? We a:ver that We bad
none. Well, then, bow could `we have been
expected to favor the nomination of a man to
the Presidency, who lfad unegiiivocally declar
ed his`oppositinn to that measure, and whom his
friends - urged tieause of 'that opposition ?
When Mr. Buchanan wrote liis'somewliat cele
brated Berks county letter, in which he joined
issue with the iidvocates of the Proviso, we
conceilled that Iwo could not, consistently with!
our previOns course, an& with the voice of thel
party in this county, 'longer favor his irtimina-
tion, while it was our privilege' to diisent. It
was this view of the stibjeOt, (coupled perhaps, ,
with a dislike for his interference in the letting
of the Post Office advertising,' and also with
what we deemed the almost if not utterly hope
less prospect of his receiving the vote of New
York, should he be the candidate ; ) that induc
ed us to disapprove of his nomination.
But he has been-Alectell asthe choice.of the
Democracy of the KeystoiM, With great una.
nimity, and we of course abide the'regult, and
if likewise the ;choice of a National Convention,
shall do all in our power tb promote his elec
tion, although in saying this W ' e wish it distinct
ly understood that we do not compromise our
opposition to the extension oralavery over ter
ritory how free. The principles of such re
striction we km* to be 'pillar among the
people of all parties in ibis cottrity, and our po
litical stability is not of that easy stamp that
will allow us to advocate one principle to-day
and another, Oita the reversei to-morrow -or
lin other wordktto be a political automaton in
1 the hands of any man or set 4 men.'
We hear that we have heeii censuredin cer
tain quarters for the course uh 3 have pursutd
in relation to this matter; brit we think we
can show at least plausible, if not Sufficient,
reasons for it. We claim!to have followed the
behests of the party; fairly and . authoritively
!expressed, and in doing so haVo intended to do
nobody any Wrong. We court no personal
'
i.
controversy with those who differ , with us in
relation to our course, anti shill have none un
less forced into it, in wbie:h cline we . may be
under the neessity, reluctant; though it be, of
saying some things abont:polltical "fairness"
and consistency that may pot be very comfort
able to those who now coMle.np us.
We say therefore in coicinfion, as Iwo have
said before, thd - majority havti decided in favor
of Mr. Buchanan, and we, shall' refkin from
further rewaris until after the meeting of the
National ConLvention. - .
—One word iii refcrenee to our candidate
