SIGNS OF THE POLITICAL ZODIAC

We find, in the last Salem (Mass.) Adver-
tiser and Argus, the proceedings at length of
the Democratic Convention recently held at
Ipswich, Robert Rantou, Jr., Chairman.
We extract the following resolutions, which.
with many others, were adopted by the Con-
vention:
Resolved, That the enviable position of Hon. Ca
leb Gushing, in the estimation of the sound rejecting
people of the State at this very moment contrasts
most honorabIy with the of such base traitors
to the best interests of the country and factious de-
magogues as John Minor Bolts Edward Stanly and
Leverett Saltonstal-whst Gushing with zeal elo-
quence and ability strove to do some good for the
country, the headers of Capt Tyler strove to embar-
rass tne Government, embarrass the country, and
leopard It's interests. MIR. SatonstaJl declaring
there was no law to collect dollar OF reyenue-at
the same time resisting all practicable attempts to
make one.
Resolved, That we are opposed to the Distribution
OF the public lands because the Treasury is in need of
the revenue, because direct tax might he tho con
sequence to replace il, and because il takes two dol
lars from the people where it puts one into their
pockets, is corruptng in its tendency and would
consolidate alarming power in the General Govern
mcnt.
Resotred That if the vote of Leverett Saltonstall
to assume two hundred millions of State debts was
not dictated by private interest," it designed
deadly blow at American liberty and independence
and the people should beware Of sending such men
to Congress il they do not wish to see this fair beau
tiful and abundant continent bankrupt and poverty
stricken
