COOP. The following we find among
the resolutions adopted at the Convention
of Democratic Representatives, held in
this city on the 23d March.-Liberaior.
4. Resolved, That freedom OF speech
and Of private jud gment freedom of mind
in the inquiry after truth, freedom of the
press for avowing every honest conviction,
is the inalienable birh-rightIof every being
endowed with reason a right never to be
surrendered and never TO be impaired; a
right guaranteed to US by the institutions
which we have inherited right asserted
by the nobest instincts Of our nature -
that this principle is the tountainhead Of
modern liberty; that it gave birth to the
reformations, and inspired our fathers
with the lofty faith which nerved them
for their wilderness work; that the right
is inexprcssibly dear to every republican,
and is never to be surrendered to the bois-
ferrous violence of an aristocratc mob, or
to the executive threat Of "1N0iCTMENT
AT COMMON LAW"
Boston RECORDER.--Rev. joseph
Tracy retires from the editorial charge OF
the Boston Recorder, to which place he
was appointed a few years ago, by the
Pastoral Association. 1t was understood,
at the time, that Mr.. Tracy's tact at fight

one of his prominent recommendations to
the station. Whether his employers have
become dissatisfied with his qualifications
for the wartare-or whether the warfare
itself has become unpopular-or whether
a formidable proportion Of the Associa
ton have now become a boltiouists them
selves, (elther in reality or in profession,
we are unable to say. The editor of the
n. Y. Evangelist, however, savs-"He
has recent y been dismissed in a manner
that seems not to have beer very agreea-
bic to his feelings" Editors who trim to
the popular breeze, or lend themselves as
supple tools to their influential patrons,
are usually turned of, quite unceremoni-
ously, in the end. A celebrated courter
was once left to the bitter reflection, that il
he had served his God as faithfully as he
had served his King, he would not have
been left disconsolate in his old age. We
hope Mr.. Tracy will avoid such termi
nation Of his course, by directing his tai.

We have not heretofore noticed with
the emphasis it deserved, that the State O
New-Jerzey this year imposes no tax fo1
state purposes. And this, we are happy
: to believe, is not temporary relief-i
mere expedient for year. Taxation uou
and henceforM, forerer, may be consider
ed as adotished IN NesO-Jersey-so far a
> state expenditures are concerned. TIL,
revenue accruing to the state, exceeds tn,
wants of the state; and in the course O
another year or two, this resource will il
y all probability, afford an annual surplu
of two hundred thousand dollars! AM
this too, without dollar of outIay-an,
! ! without risk or responsibility of any kline
u by the state. 1t will be derived from tn
:, internal improvements she has authorized
- and from assessments upon the banking
! capita Of the state. New Jersey, there
s fore, is behind no other state in the Unior
e in independent, available and permanent
u resources, in proportion to her territorial
D. extent and population.-N. Bruins. Fred.
