Seooud The- ai pplicalion of the democratic policy by the federal administration ad-ministration in rrejjard to noulhern affaire, and the. bappy effect experienced, expe-rienced, amply vindicates our protest agaiohl luiervuQiion instate. nfTirn. Third The present admiuiatra lion's proclaimed i&tentionHto rslorin the civil service ib a confession of failure of rndittiUisD i and a tribute to the democracy. Fourth Both state and federal legislation have too highly favored capital, eeanbineo 'm corporate organ- milions, aud iti demand for largf returns are inoaiicisteut with the de pressed conditicn of our laboring and business intermits. Wo oppose further euactmenls tor its special bepefit at , the expense; of oil ler interests.

In time of peace the increase ot the federal ur my and auy atlenyt to employ it as. a pirt or an agent "f lederal authority, or lor interierencn with sovereigu rights of stateu, will receive the con tinued, earnest opposition oppo-sition of the democracy of Pennsylvania. Pennsyl-vania. That ili.e deprivation of employment em-ployment of many thousands ol industrious in-dustrious citizens and laborers, and the deep distress of themselves and lamiliea, enlist our heany sympathy, and we declare in tbo language ol Jefferson, tbe lounder of our party, that a wiae and trugal government that shall restrain men from injuring one another, and shall leave them olberwisi: free to emulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, improve-ment, aud shall not lake from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned, or the hope of people in adversity ad-versity and their Bffcurity iu pros perity, and that under such a government, gov-ernment, which it is the mission ol the doniocracy to maintain and perpetuate, any resort to force or to a violation of law or an invasion ot tbe rights of persona or cf property, to redresigrievanoe is needless aud al war with free institutions, under i which tbe only rightful remedy is In , irpmiHnllv recurring elections of rep I resentatives of the people iu State legislatures, and in the ledoral con j L-reef, to accomplish tho will of the majority. Sixiu Iu our insane desire lo make-rich make-rich men richer by legielalion, wt nave brought about a conflict between sections and interests, and therefor ihe grants by congresB or slate legisl lures, of exclusive privileges, and the establishment of odious manopolie.-uudorthe manopolie.-uudorthe pre'exl of public benefit oi justice to certain sections, are direct assaults upon equal rights, and the democracy of Pennsylvania denounce them as enriching few and beggaring beggar-ing many. It protests against sub sidies, land grants, loans Ol public credit, and appropriation ot the peo-1 pie's money to auy corporation. Seventh We view with alarm the pretensions of the great transportation company to be above tho fundamental law of tho commonwealth, and until it. accepts the constitution adopted in 1373, in Rood tailh, il should be carefully care-fully wa:c'ied.
