great had been the improvements in ma

We wish these things could always have
the effect they should have, to make the

BAXTER another Of the men tried for the
murder Of Col. Davenport, has been SEN
fenced to be hung on the 2slh, inst. 1t is
hardly fair that these impulses to morality
should be confined to Rock Island. Other
portionsof Ill.sho'ld have some benefit from
them and il would be no more than Il prop
er regard for the people at large, to move
the pageant about, and hang these
men in different sections of the state. Ac-
cord ng to the generally received opinionlhe
the good effects Of public executions, wha,
a blessed opportunity for improvement is
now offered TO the people Of Rock Island.
What an enviable condition Of morals they
must naturally arrive al. 1t is not at all
likely we shall ever hear of any more vio-
lations Of law committed in that section Of
country. BY the by, would it not be well

ing the experiment now in York state, in

When the Milwaukee Sentinel asserts the
bcliefthat Mr. Polk will be candidate tor
reelection, we believe that the editor be-

doubt not il tho administration goes on as il
has begun, that the Democracy would be
pleased 10 run ndolcct Mr.. Polk again, but
he has said he tcould not be candidate, and
the editor of the Sentinel, and all other
wings, know well enough he is not the man
TO forfeit his word at the bidding or request
of any party. They know as weN as they
know any thing fiat he will not be candidate
for reelection and i'll their assertions to the
contrary, they lie either from habit or other
cause, even against their own hearts.

They are wonderful democrats the
Pennsylvanians. They evidently think
that the essential feature, Of democracy is
to make such tariff as will enable the iron
manufacturers Of that state to grow rapidly
rich; and they seem to be much alarmed
lest Mr.. Polk should not take such view
Of it Pennsylvania is considerable Of a
state, but she is not the whole world, nor
indeed is she the whole union, by consider
able and there may be snch a thing as
that, that which is good for the country at
large, is not for The especial benefit Of her
iron manufacturers; and it is very possible
that Mr.. Polk may take such view of de-
mocracy as will lead him TO recommend
the Creates: good 20 the greatest number,
without reference 10 cliques or special in

the time has arrived when Democratic
measures will be recommended and urged,

mocracy is all confined within the limits
Of their breeches pockets. and who rail or
praise. as ,ha, expands or contracts. The
ascendancy Of Democratic principles, is
the thing 10 be desired, and if we cannot
stand and succeed on that platform, il is
better that we fall, than to succeed by sac
riic:ng principles 10 concliate particular
sections or interests. II those who pro-
fess to be Democrats in Pennsylvania, can
not see beyond the limits oftheir own state,
and are determined TO urge their own inter-
ests at the expense Of the Union, let them
go where they naturally belong, with the
wings. They are not Democrats and can
do the party nor principle any good.
