Coop NEws-THE DEMOCRACY HARMoNIous.--When
our paper OF this morning went to press had not
celved the result OF the convention that assembled in
Wscasset yesterday to make the congressional and
ty nominations TO be supported at the approaching cleo
ton, in this county and congressional district We take
the earliest opportunity to communicate the most happy
result which attended that meeting
The county was quite fully represented, there being
desire to restore harmony to the party, and
act to secure the fullest vote in September. All con-
coded that if the convention could with unanmty in
nominating the democratic masses would act with equal
unanmlty in electing. To secure desirable result
personal preferences in great measure waived.
Hon. Samuel w. Jackson unanimously chosen
president, and Hon. John Anderson secretary.
On the first ballot for candidate for Congress- Hon
John d. McCrate received the nomination Mr.. McC
appeared in the convention, and in few happy
and patriotic remarks declined the honor of the nonina
ton, expressing his desire to his democratic brethren
united, and pedgng his unreseved influence and support
for any man whom the convention might select
After recess of some half an hour, the convention
again proceeded to ballot and on the second trial Hon.
Franklin Clark, OF Wiscasset, received clear majority
whereupon motion made, plelging the convention
to the vigorous support of the nomination, which
adopted unanimously, EVERY MEMBER giving his pledge
by rising.
Mr. Clark is emphaticay one of the people He is
merchant extensively engaged in numbering and other
industrial pursuts-is self made man, having arisen
from perjury to alucnce solely by dint of his per-
gentleman no can stand higher; neighbor and
CITIZEN he has no superlor man OF business, there
are few who have displayed more soundness Of iudg-
ment, maintained more incompatible integrity; as
consistent DEMOCRAT, no can be more truly Mr..
Clark member of the last State Senate of which
body he proved himself useful member and exhibited
fitness for legislative duties which gave him envabe
influence at the Senate board, and the praise of his
constituents.
We will only add, the convention separated with high
hopes and the best of feeling, cherishng the fullest
confidence that the of Lincoln and Oxford will
enter the field with renewed ZEAL banded together by the

declares il be the interest and duty of the Mexican
chieains TO "sten to proposals for peace and as
we understand II to say, to .make" peace these pro-
posals. We cannot suppose thai the National Intell-
gencer would pass such opinion if it did not know or
suspect the terms that we would propose; and now
put on record what it says upon the interest of Mexico
that if treaty should be made on these TERMS we have
asked nothing--not cesson of territory-which
was not reasonable in ITSELF AMI which Mexico ought not
to accept Let us have murmurs and censures,

Colonel Eastons command, when informant left,
was fourteen miles below Fort Mann They expected
to reach the fort the day and rest there day or
two to await the arrival of other detachments.
From the reports brought in by this party it probable
that Kit Carson, who going out with dispatches to
California, had lost all his horses and mules Our in
formant met him near the Pawnee rock and afterwards
heard from party who said they had passed him the day
following that his mules and horses had all been stolen
the night previous From Carsons well known knowl-
edge of the woods and familiarity with the Indian char
acter, we are disposed to doubt the correctness of the
port Yet so adroit and daring have been the attacks of
these ndians that shall not be surprised if it turns
out to be true
Captain Fischers company belonging to Major Carkes
the Yagers, and others belonging to Colonel Prices
regiment, were at Council Grove, and may be expected
home in few days.
We have. some statements not very reputable TO the
character OF OF the officers Captain McNairs
pany, in the attack recently made the Indians. Some
OF the subordinate officers say that they ordered
retire at the very when they had the most reason
to believe they had the Indians their power and could
have taken satisfaction out of them The charge is
broadly made, and may be the of trouble in the
company.
