TnE PRosPECr,-Judglug from the tone of the
pcss, think there is but little doubt as to the
suit of the coming contest for the delegacy. How
ever the nomination may have been received and
whatever objections may have existed to the candi-
date, the Democrats oil the Territory are evidently
not disposed to let the success fall into the hands OF
their opponents. They think as do, that the
place to right any wrongs which may exist is not
at the polls, but in our primary meetings; and that
these Will be attended To hereafter we confidently be-
jeye. Unless entirely mistake the popular in
locations, the democracy will 90 to the polls with
very nearly their usual unanimity, and as usual
conquer.

IL Since the Independence of Mexico of Spain
was declared, there has been no permanent power
in the state except the church. Amidst all the
revah tons and throughout all mutations of gov
eminent, she has preserved her wealth and strength
undiminished and it has always been the case that
she has been able to preserve her immense wealth
untouched against any attempts to draw upon it
for the support OF the state, and moreover She has
had the strength to overthrow any government
that made the attempt TO procure for itself any
support from that source. The church of Mexico
now opposes peace with the United States, ard re-
fuses her country any help to carry on the war
Why, we ask should the United States hesitate one
moment to lay hands upon its immense wealth.
Let the wealth of the church he touched and the
only power that can give us peace Will do it with
out delay and the interests of peace are too great
in our consideration, to allow any foolish reverence
affected generosity TO stand in the way OF pro
curing it. 1t is wealth that has been robbed from
the masses, and Is applied to no good ends, and
we know of 10 better purpose it can be put to
than to create peace between the two countries

BiHiards.-Therc are now in the county
of Grant, no less than seven billiard saloons.
There is III PlattviIle ., in Hazel Green /,

of the world Of equal population, certainly
10 portion Of the United States, is so well
supplied with billiard tables. 1t is presu-
med that that they will remunerate their
proprletors; as each saloon actually pays an
annual grocer grocery license of 500, into

however, that in Potosi, all licences for
retailing spirtuous liquors, are paid into the
treasury of the town. Wis. Herald.

DoRRITE NoMINATioN.-The Conven.

bled at Providence OH the 9TH inst to
nominate a candidate for the Both Con-
gress, from MI we can hear of it, was ra-
ther a small concern, consisting of four

is said, were U. 5. Government officers

pediency Of the Mexican war took Fa-
ther Richie under its special protection
and then proposed FENNER BRowN, ESQ.
of Cumberland, as suitable person to
represent this District in the next Con-
gress, and pledged themselves to use their
best exertions TO elect him. 1t is difficul,
to say, which Of these propositions is en-
titled to the greatest respect, or is likely
to have the most efficacy in turning the
well disposed voters in this Law and Or
der District from the error Of their ways
into the pleasant downward paths Of De-
mocratic Dorrsm. For one thing,at least,
we ought to be particularly thankful.
The candidate proposed to us is fair ex.
ponent Of his party. In all the mischiev-
Gus and pernicious undertakings of the
Dorrites for the last FIVE years, he has
ever been prominent, with the exception
Of keeping himself carefully out Of harms
way, whenthe more honest and fearless
portion of their followers were pushed by
such leaders as himself into an armed
collision with the Government, and then
left to shift for themselves, and to make
such terms with the offended law, as de-
serted and Infatuated men, in such mis-
cradle plight, might be able to effect. In
all else, Mr.. Brown has been ready to
take part and lot with his party, and, a,
all times, has literally dealt out his abuse
ofthis part Of the State, and of this town
in particular, for their most unreasonable
opposition to the Dorr measures Of re-
form, which were intended so manifestly
for their especial protection and benefit.
On the strength Of the above character,
which nobody will deny him, he comes
now to ask their sufIrages for the most
important Office in their gin; and we shall
soon see what sort Of an answer the law.

ern District, who are not apt, we think
