says the Lowell Courier, at their last State
Convention adopted resolution, apparently
in favor of the Wilmot Proviso, whereupon
the Richmond Enquirer. tin kettle tied TO
the tail of the Washington Union, rebukes
them in the following style:
ave arc sorry TO see that the Democratic
State Convention of New Hampshire have a
dopted resolution approving ofthe Wilmot
Proviso. Through what malign influence
this has been brought about, we shall not
now inquire. New Hampshire has always
been true to Southern rights,and we sincere
ly regret that at this critical moment her
Democratic Convention should have stood a.
lone in countenancing the movement of the
fanatics. We yet hope TO sec majority of
the District Convention veto the action of
the State Convention in endorsing the Provi-
so. We understand that Mr. Jennes, the del
egate at large to the National Convention, is
a devoted friend ofMr Woodbury,an as such
opposed to the Proviso; for no one can doubt
the sentiments of Mr. w. on that question
We are farther led to believe that MIR Robin
son, ore of the delegates at large to tho Ma
tional Convention from the State of Vermont
is equally opposed TO the Proviso. Every
day goes TO satisfy us that the Democracy
of the Union will stand united upon the Mis-
souri, Compromise"

MURDER. Mr. Michael Kelly, overscer on
the Ingalls, Hill section, i'm Newbury) of tie
Connecticut and Passunpsc Rivers Rail
road, was shot dead about2 O'Clock on Mon
day last, by workman on the road. The
difficulty had arisen between the Irishmen-
the Corkoninns and Fnrdowns-and the night
previous some riotous proceedings occurred:
and bullets were fired into shanties South of
Ingalls, Hill. Mr. Kelly, with Deputy Shcr-
ih' had aided in arrestng five or six ofthe ri
oters, ard was engaged in efforts to secure
others when he was murdered. At the time,
there were five or six lrshmeu near him,and
one fired;-thc ball took effect under the jaw
and passed out back ofthe ear-whereupon
these men fed to the woods
The woods were surrounded, but at this
time. Thursday morning, we have not heard
of their arrest. The Rail Road Company
and the Selcctmen of Newbury have offered
IL reward OF $500 for the apprehension of the
murderer or murderers.
MIR Kelly we arc informed, was an active
and respectable man.
The difficulty with the Irishmen arose from
an effort oftho Fardowns, to drive off the
Corkonans who had come up from the
Northern road. The latter he'd previously
driven most of the former class from the
works on the Northern road.
