 POLITICAL.
 Resofrcd, That i" Measures, not men," should be the great land mark by which the democratic pdrty should act, and when any man, of the democratic party, shall SO act as 10 convince Us, that for his own self-aggran- disement, he is willing to endanger the har monv of the party and the success of our measures, he las already departed from the faith, and is no longer entitled to our conf- derce.
 Resolrcd, That the net of Congress, of 1918, with regard to milage to members of Congress, if subject to the construction given to i, by portion of the late U. s.

 1 RcsoIced, That we have an abiding eon6- dence in Archibald Yell, and the patriotic i zeal with which he has Jeff the ease of lu- crative seat in Congress, and taken up arms i in defence of his country, is but another proof amongst many, of his devotion to the i cause of our common country.

Y ell, may ! all safely return with their comrades to re- -ceive the undivided applause and approba- lion of their eoantrymen. o A3f
 Rcsolred, That we prefer the Hon. A. i Yell, to any other, for the U S Senate, and i thinl, he ought to be elected by the next General Assembly. But. if il shall be deter mined by the democratic party in the Legis- lature, 10 select another man in preference .o either him or Col.
