know of the Courier, whether the can
didate selected by the Convention will be
for or against districting the State? Will
he be for or against calling State Conven-
ton to amend the Constitution so as TO re-
store equal representation and change the
judicial tenure?-and will he support or
oppose the odious bill of pains and penal
ties, called the currency bills, which now
seem to be a favorite measure with the ul-
ira of the party?" when we are advised

.aAfISSOURI. DEMOCRATS.


After sleep Of come nine months, the,
"Democrat," with missouri, substituted
for Blooms Lick" made its appearance on
Wednesday last The paper is of the same
size it formerly was, (about onc.third small
Ter than the "Times,') presents neat ap.
pearance geographically, and its editorials
show degree of candor to which we have
not been accustomed in Missouri, from
locofoco editors. WIN. A. HALL, Esq, is
the editor, and while we cannot but admire
his candor, politically, we are gratiiied to-
learn from those intimately acquainted
with him, that his gentlemanly bearing and
suavity of manners are equally worthy of
admiration, in social point of view.
The politics of the paper identify it with
The Hard party of the Democratic party:
1t is in favor Of prohibiting the circu-
lation of small bank notes $3.50 bills is the
standard, we believe)--whether by self
executing laws" or bill of "pains and
penalties" is not stated-but the latter, we
presume, as matter of course;
1t is opposed to districting the State
for the election of members of Congress;
1t is opposed to the present tariff,
but as the democratic party have no fred
principles on the subject of tariff, the
leading characteristic in the editorials no.
,iced above, is not so clearly manifested on
this subject, from the want of data" r
1t is in favor of he nominee of the
Democratic National Convention for Pres
ident; and although nothing is said on the
subject of State Convention, for the al
tering or amending of the present, or of
forming new constitution, we presume,
in common with his party Of the party, the
editor will oppose the convention.
i As an instance of the candor of the edi-
tor, we copy his reasons for opposing the
election of members Of Congress by single
districts. He says:
1--WE are opposed to districting the State, be.
cause we believe our opponents will gain by it,
That is the true ground of opposition to
this measure, but the editor of the Demo.
crat is the first one of the party that we
have yet found honest enough to express i,
publicly. Opposition to districting on this
ground, nor in fact on any other that car
be brought forward, will not succeed
We believe majority--a large majority
of the people of this State are in favor o.
the Principle of electing members to Con
gress by single districts; they believe thai
minorities have some rights, and ought &c
have a representation in the Legislative
: Councils of the Nation; and we believe
further, when our next legislature meets, ;
majority will be in favor of, and will dis
trict the State.
: We welcome Mr.. HALL into the frank:
editorial" and hope his burthens will be
lighter and his troubles fewer than gener
ally fall to the lot of those who occupy sta
lions similar to the one he has just taken.

UFWe learn from the last Jefferson
Inquirer, that Messrs. Brown & Richmond,
Lessccs Of the Penitentiary, have been ac-
quilted, by the arbitrators, of the charges
preferred against them. 1t would be
gratifying to many, if the evidence upon
which this verdict was rendered, could be
made public-as thereby, if just, the Les
sees would be relieved from much censure.
and the People might have some hope OF
the retention of the remainder of the con.
victs in the State Prison.
