territorial convention.

The following are the resolutions adopts
ed by the late democratic Territorial Cons
vention, at which Gen. Dodge was unani-
ifiously nominated for reelection to Com
gress. They were put in type for last
weeks paper, but were unavosdably crowd
ed out. We commend them to the perusal
OF our friends, as showing strict adhe-
rance to the ancient and approved land
marks ofrepublicanism by the democracy Of
Iowa.
Resolced, That we regard with unalloyed
satisfaction the triumph Of the Democratic

the hands Of those who have proved them
selves worthy of its management.

Inaugeral Address Of President Polk, and

bounded confidence and support Of the
American People.
RESOLVED, That We regard the establish
ment Of a Bank of the United States, or ol
any other bank Of discount and deposite, as
dangerous to the liberties and blighting to
the welfare Of the people; and we conf

establishment of the one or the other will
be an s'obsolete idea"

of the people to repeal as soon as possible

lection; that we abhor that doctrine which
protects the wealth of The rich, and inoreas-
es the burdens Of the poor; which imposes
heavy tax on the neGessarics Of life, and
light duty on its luxuries, and we arc un-
compromisingly opposed to any other tar:

absolutely require the aid Of government.

act Of Congress admitting Texas into the

the area Of freedom to thousands of The
Anglo Saxon race.

United States TO Oregon, as clear and un.
questionable that we approveofthecou
Of our National Executive on that subject

all our treaty stipulations with Great Brit

nations as among men, to make all reason
able concessions for the purpose Of avoid
