The following are among number OF resoiu-
tons adopted by a convention Of the Democra-
tic Wings Of Duchess county, N. y, on the
9th instant:
Resoired, That whilst we deeply regret that differ
Of opinion serious have existed between the
Wings in Congress and our Wing President, a. 70
have postponed settlement Of the currency queston,
than which none is of more vital importance OF can
have decided influence for good or for es upon
the business and trade Of the country we feel ga'eiu
for the good that has been accomplished Our success
at the last Presidential election has been followed ny
in umer BILE benefts-benefts secured TO US by Wise
and benecen legislation and perfected by the CORDIAL
CO operation Of the Executive branch OF the govern
ment. The odioas Sub-treasury law mas peen ,ePea'
ed-a Revenue bill been passed-the pubic land ques-
ton been settledesns have been provided for pay
ING of the national debt created by Van Buren-a
national Bankrupt law has been enacted-provison
for lettering the condition of national defences on
the seaboad and the lakes and for improving the
condition of the army and navy has been made, and
every suitable TO be considered at the extra
session been carried according TO wishes except
ing only that substitute for the repealed Sub trea-
sury law has been adopted That fiscal agent suit
able for the receipt, safe keeping, transfer and dis
bursemen Of the public funds, efficient for cheapen-
ing exchanges and competent TO furnish currency
of uniform value may yet be provided, we most earn
esy desire and call upon the Executive and upon
members of Congress to lay aside all pride Of opinion
and in spirit of compromise and concation to agree
upon settlement of the currency question IN snch
shall effectually separate the purse and the
sword and rebound The best interests Of the coun-
try.
Resolped, That the Wings onght not to be dis
tracted by any considerations grow ing out OF recent
events-differences between individual members OF
the party not Of consequence enough TO create dis
memberment and disunion but ought rather to stimu
late renewed effort for the preservation Of the party
entire spirit Of ibcality is all that is needed to
insure concert of action, without which party can
prosper and no ticket be elected
Resoired, That regard the Intervention Of dele
gated bodies in which all interests be represented
the effec,ual means of preserving the unity
and the ascendancy of party, and we will discourage
all premature attempts, whether by cques or ndivl-
duas to foresal the free expression Of public OPT
MON. The workings Of selfish ambition a'e the hane
Of partys prosperity and endanger not only its as
cendancy, but its existence Deprecating its ef
fecs and believing the greatest good of the greatest
number" TO be paramount to any attachment however
strong, 70 individuals, will ever discourage giving
preference to men principles, and though the
former the necessary agents for carrying out the
latter, will them agents only at proper times
and on fitting occasions. Premature nominations OF
men to carry measures have been productive
of evil and have uniformly led to pickering and 10 dis
union rather than to harmony and concert. Truly
impressed with the Importance of these views as ap
pcable TO canvass for the Presidency, we will moi
countenance the efforts of any man, whatever his me
rit or station who shall this time agitae the ques
ton of who shall succeed our present National Exc
cutive.
