NvGV I1hmroT1lRE olh1E SoiSN ASA'
A democratic State convention assembled at Con-
cord, in New Hampshire, on the 18th inst for the
purpose Of nominating candidate for governor a,
their next State election The convention organized
by electing Hon. Franklin Pierce as president, with
vice presidents and secretaries. Hon. Jared w Will
liams, of Lancaster was nominated as candidate ior
governor, he having 2l5 votes out OF 230-the whole
number Of delegates in attendance.
The meeting was spirited and harmonious, show
ing that the democracy Of the Old Granite State are
no w. as ever, unyieldng friends OF democrauc prih-
cples, and the firm supporters OF harmonious acuon'
despite of the efforts of ambitious and tactious men,
who attempted to control the voice of the people.
The course of John p. Hale, in setting the wishes
of the State at defiance the great question OF an
nexation, meets with strong and universal reprooa-
ton. The truth is, the democracy OF New Ramp
shire never stumble or trip. Some OF herpohtlciahs,
in their fancied strength have occasionally attempt
ed to dictate unsound principles to her hardy yeo-
many, but the result has ever been that the pre-
tender has fallen under the ponderous car OF demo-
cratic truth, while the great mass of the party has
moved ON with mistaken frmness In support of
the great principles of repubicanism, regardless
alike of the hostility of open enemies and the here
sizes of treacherous, time-serving friends.
The resolutions adopted by this convention, from
which we select the following, are in the true spirit,
and show that her democracy in the hour ofsuccess
do not forget the great principles which were pre-
scented to the people in the late presidential contest
suffrage Oregon, Texas independent treasury, &C.,
they are sound and judicious:
Resored That, by opposing the creation Of dangerous
monopolies by contendng that tariffs should be ior pr
for their object instead Of being constructed as to enrich
the few by the robbery Of the many-by Incorporating
opposition to that policy which would erect giant na.Gn
of free suffrage whenever and wherever the question mas
been rasedhs has mot more PLAINLY Is
based than has by annexng Florida and the valley OF
hs 20 West by Ds IN bold our
disputabe claim to Oregon and BY resisting the nrgues
of Great Britain TO seize upon the fertile domains oil
Texas.
Resoed That to contend that democracy must dis
cuss only the same questions and contend Tor no new
maintain that shall remain stationary while
all moves around II.
Resored That the annexation of Texas by widely ex
tending the domain Of this republicby strengthening our
Of defence in and greatly increasing
in peacewithout adding to the numbers Of the en-.
increasing the relative political powers Of
the slayehoding interest Of our country guaranty the
blessing. Of republican government to millions Of Pa.r
= become the oppressed and unpriyeged subjects OF Eu
| ropcan despotism.
Resolved That upon the great financial questions which
have agated this country for the last sixteen years the
democracy Of New Hampshire have maintained their
ground that they wish corrupt distribution policy
in this country that they desire to no great
moneyed institutions planted around the government to
awe or control; and that like Hannibal of old
new Of eternal hostility to United States
bank every shape and FORM whether under its own prop
er name or that Of agent government exchequer
Resolred That we desire to see that noble independent
treasury system again established under which the
nexon between and the banks for the
first time severed under which the people began for the first
time control their revenues instead OF placing them
in the vaults Of corporations be loaned out and srecu
lated upon peasre and that the true democracy OF the
land win be satisfied with nothing short OF its substantial
and early re-estabishment
Resoced That in the administration Of James Polk Of
the Elisha upon whom to have descended
the falling mantle the great Prophet Of the democracy
about departing from midst we shall have, as we
trust continuation full carrying of the benefcen
and welapproved policy Of his usrious predecessors
Jefferson, jackson, and Van Buren,.
