will honestly abide BY all constitutional provisions
with regard to it, recognize the binding force of
no compromises which look to lis extension per-
petuation; for it being evil, by such recognition we
should be recreant 10 the principles OF right, conSe
quently false to the best interests of the whole
country and false to the principles upon which as
party, we must rest for permanent success.
Resolved, That in any territory which may here
after be acquired by the United States, firmly
protest against the recognition OF slavery by the ge
neral government for the all-suificlent reason we
have given.
Resolved, That should it be deemed expedient by
the democratic representatives assembled at Madi-
son to organize convention for the purpose of ha
wing Wisconsin represented in the next National
Convention, for the nomination of candidates for
tue Presidency and Vice Presidency, that the can
didates for delegates now nominated be authorised
TO represent Racine county in such convention and
that they be instructed TO make manifest to the
vcnton the wishes of Racine as expressed in these
resolutions.
The above resolutians, after some little discussion
were unanimously adopted.
Resolved, That the proceedings be signed by the
Chairman and Secretary, and be published in tho
democratic papers oil the county.
On motion, the Convention adjourned.
Signed THEOD SECOR, Chm.

EXEMPTIONS.

The Wisconsin Argus has a very ingenious arti-
Gle on the subject of exemptions, which We doubt
not 10 all minds opposed to the principle of exemp-
ton, will seem conclusive.
The Argus takes the ground that it is not Justice
but mercy alone which dictates exemptions: and
on this ground it argues very clearly that YOU can
not go great way in them, until mercy operates
the other side in favor Of the creditor rather than
the debtor.
The trouble as we perceive it, is, that the Argus
does not commence with its logic at the beginning.
The question is whether justice dictates the coec-
ton laws. We conceive that it does not for the
simple reason that no law exists compelling man
to give credit Credit is entirely voluntary on the
part of the CREDITOR therefore Justice does not dictate
a compulsory collection. Ifthis be the case and it
strikes us concusivcly, so far as the question Of
justice is concerned the question of exemptions he
comes simply one Of policy. And in arguing this
question: the policy OF the csllecton laws is the true
ground Of dispute for exemptions as far they 90
are an abolition of these laws, and as the popular
feeling has progressed from the exemption of the
body of the debtor, 10 the Gin many placcs) cxcmp-
ton of his farm the conclusion is clear to us that
the principle will continue to evolve itself until its
ultimate he exemption of all propcrty'or the total
repeal of the collection laws is attained Il is clear
to us, because any principle which has good in its
irst step has good equally in its results. and as good
which is truth, must and will prevail, the ultimate
of the principle will be attained.
The costs of the collection laws throughout the
country greater in amount annually, than the
annual cost of the Mexican war, with the ordinary
expenses OF government besides The army oflaw-
vers Justices constables, and other officers through
out the country, living upon them, is greater than
the rank and file OF the whole army in Mexico. and
their aggregate pay must be vastly greater; the
question then is, simply whether, inasmuch as no
principle of justice is violated by their repeal the
abrogation of this enormous tax, does not clearly
dictate such repeal, by the enactment of exemptions
from time TO time, as sound policy. We are clear
on the subject i'll our own mind and we say it,
knowing what we say, that principle is so rapidly
extending itself i'll the popular mind in this region
of country as is that Of the entire repeal OF the col
lection laws
II the Argus can show the justice Of the collection
laws thenits logic will be good not only as against
large exemption but against all exemptions: for if
the collection laws be founded in Justice then their
repeal TO extent however slight will be injustice
and injustice the law should never any plea enact
But il, the other'hand these laws be not founded
in justice, and small exemptions from the cause we
have mentioned, are polite, so also, of necessity
from the same canse must be an exemption which
would include all property or an entire repeal of
the collection laws.

- The resolutions of our County Dem
! scratic Convention, with reference to nation
al affairs, will doubtless be read with some
interest. Whatever opinions may be enter
tanned among democrats, as 10 the cause or
| necessity of the Mexican war, we presume,
there is but n slight difference of opinion,
among them as 10 the disposition to be
made of any territory we may acquire by
such war, or from any othercausc or source.
We believe the resolution on this subject
embraces the views of the democracy of Ra-
cino-vicws which they wildoubtless stand
firmly by.
We commend the lorethought which die
tatcd the resolution, appointing delegates,
with reference to National Convention
The National Convention will be held
as early as the fourth of July next
Wisconsin will no doubt have vote in the
election, and therefore should be representa-
IN National Convention, Inasmuch as she
will probably not enter upon State Sover-
eighty, before that time, her delegates if
appointed at all, must be appointed whilst
she is yet territory; and if the democrats
ofthe territory, will but so will it, by send
ing representatives, we think the sitting of
the Convention at Madison will be an ex-
cellent time to accomplish the end sought.

III The weather of the present fall appears to

cargoes on this lake. The cargoes of the Hale and

els aboard taken on here. The las, that was heard
of her she was ashore near Mackinac-60o or 100
bushels of the wheat had been thrown overheard
and the fate of the balance We know nothing about
most likely it has all been lost. The wheat was
probably worth 81 per bushel on board, making a
loss of $4,000 TO $4,000, to which add about
$4,000 for the beef lost, and we have a total OF
$4,000 lost, from this port alone.

= Nearly every wing territorial ex-
change we open contains censure of the
Post-Oflice Department, because of mail
failures between here and the east. OF
course,to expect candororfairn from these
papers, towards any department of gov
eminent, would DC expecting great deal,
nevertheless they ought TO see and know
that these censures are unjust and unde-
served. The Department has furnished
to this part of the west, the very quickest
route and mode of conveyance which ex-
lists. During the summer months steam
boats are employed on all routes, which
will expedite the transit of the mails, and
during the winter months the mail comes as
rapidly as horses can bring it. The De-
partment has done all il can do, and 10 CEN
sure it for delays or interruption, occasioned
by accidents which are constantly arising
and occurring, and which no sagacity could
forcsec, nor care prevent, may do for
violent party prints, but lacks the merit of
common candor and fair dealing. Cave
johnson, when in Congress, was thorn in
the side of whiggery. Wings don't forget
it, and hence they have pursued him with
vindictveness and venom, in his present po-
sition. But as in Congress, so in this posi-
ton. His industry, integrity, and ability,
will give him just triumph over his perse-
cutors.

DJ-The principle of republicanism is the recog-
milton of the people as the source of all power
Those who have confidence in republicanism must
have confidence in the people; and those who have
confidence in the people, must concede that from
them should come directly all the departments OF
goyernmcnt, and all the officers to fill and admins
ter those departments. This takes appointments
from tie hand. of the Governor and gives them to
the people; it makes the judges elective by the
people; in short it gives to the people the direct
selection of all their officers and confines each officer
to his legitimate duty, destroying all chance for cor
ruption and preventing the possibility OF the estab
Ishment of any central cliques, by which the voice
and wishes of the people may be perverted and set
aside. To do this, the democratic party and demo
cratic nominees stand pledged, Can any party do
more in this particular You who desire the
establishment of this state of affairs, bear this in
mind.
