CCTIn obedience to the call of the State Sentinel
and the desire of our citizens generally, the City
Council have altered the hours of opening the markets
AS an encouragement to early rising and fair chance
at the sausages, they have wisely concluded to make
it the duty of the market open the market
at day light. The snatch-game" is thus ended, as
well all further bad feelings engendered thereby.
Good Journal.
We doubt if the new ordinance will entirely end
the snatch-game; - but it is good far it goes,
and the Council are entitled to thanks for the amend
ment.

OtFCol: JEFFERSON DAVIS has signiied his deter
minatlon to support the nominee of the Democratic
National Convention, whoever he may be. This is
the man for whom certain locofOco papers of this
State charged Gen. Taylor with showing an undue
partaliy in his official report of the Buena Vista
affair-Ind. Journal, Oct. -.
The Journal only tells half the truth in the above,
and hardly that. COL Davis; in letter published in
the Vicksburgh Sentinel, which suppose to be the
source Of the Journals information, says that he
never anticipated eparation from the Democratic
party upon the subject of the Presidency, and that he
is in favor of National Convention to nominate
candidates. But he says further, that the northern
Democracy must dsevow the principles of the Will
mot proviso in the National Convention; otherwise
the southern delegates will withdraw and unite on
some southern man, regardless Of party-Geheral
Taylor, we presume, is meant.
Col. Daviss adherence to the Deliberate party is,
therefore, conditional which condition the Journal
was willing TO keep from its readers, for reasons
which cannot be Inexperienced. 1t is willing to 60
for Taylor as the exclusive Southern candidate
for the sake Of the "spos, and that is the reason
why, in addition the above errodeous statement, it
recently dsavowed its " aboitionsth.''

The Brookville American, Wing paper, has the
following, which we commend to our no more terri
tory" neighbor:
THE WING PARTY IN DANGER.-A writer in the
National InteRigencer advises the wing party to
abandon the Wilmot Provso. and take the issue Of
mo territory" If II does So it is fooled and
betrayed thousand times better disband. We go
the principle of the Wilmot Proviso rather Of the
ordinance of 81, without curtaiment compromise
and we not Only protest against the substitution of
the no territory" issue in Its stead but we take 1t
upon us to warn the wing party that any such aban-
dOnment of principle, or surrender Of right, will not
only paralyze its moral power, but reduce its numer-
cal strength in the north and northwest by the defec-
ton of tens of thousands of as honest and patriotic
wings as ever cast ballot

OFThe wing party not without their troubles
in New York as well as the Democrats. The City
correspondent of the Union. under date of Oct 2Sth,
writes as follows
The harmonious wing party had their county meet
ing ratify the nominations of their convention at
Syracuse; and very noisy and turbulent meeting it
was. The resolutions of the committee set the fun
a-going and it soon was .fast and furious" The
second of them had reference to the war recognised
the fact that war existed between this country and
Mexico-wEich was not a great deal TO admit, even
for whig resolutions; determined that "we will faith
fully discharge ali the duties consttuonally involved
in that condition" but condemned the lust of terri
tora aggrandzemen;. and on, In the usual strain.
This ambiguous style of resolving in relation the
war did not suit the military editor of the Courier and
Enquirer and he presented himself other resolutions
which, he said were more hearty and unequvocal in
their support OF the war, and recognised the princ-
pie that, involved in tine war, it is the duty of
every patriot to stand by the country, and unite in
the adoption of best calculated sustain
the national honor and ID achieve early and hon.
orable peace" Then great hubbub. Friend
Greedy tried 10 speak, but his philosophc accents
could not be heard 1t understood to be strug-
gle between the war and anti-war sections in the
universal whig party" Finally, after much noise
and difficulty, the chairman decided that the resolu-
tons of Col. Webb were adopted an addition to
those of the committee. But with this the tumult did
not cease, nor until the meeting adjourned. The
wings have been making much of divisions in our
ranks. They have 10 take care of in their
own.

6TThe berating from prison and arming OF 1000
Mexican criminals, was among the last acts of Santa
Anna before abandoning the capital. He thus put it,
and all its wealth and peaceful citizens, at the mercy
Of these convicted villains armed by his orders, and
much more likely to turn their arms against their
own defenceless countrymen, abandoned by their own
army and its officers, than against the well-armed
and fighting Americans The mischief which these
cut-throats did, WILL of course, be laid to soldiers

erIng extract from Corwin's anti-war speech.
The Journal brands the extract as forgery, and says
