Resolutions of the Senatorial Convention

Last week, we published the resolutions
adopted by the Democratic Senatorial
Convention, held in this place.
We look upon these resolutions as
thoroughly democratic, and as embracing
the sentiments of the democrcy of,he dis
trict. They firmly rehearse the doctrines
Of the democratic party with respect to the
powers Of government. and uphold strict
construction Of the national constitution.
These sentiments are in strict accordance
with what we believe to be the opinions
OF the most revered democratic authori.
ties. That they will receive the appro.
val of every man who desires the preser-
walton OF our institutions, which alone can
be maintained by keeping within the linn
its Ofthe compromises Of the constitution,
cannot be doubted. If there is any thing
that should be regarded as paramount to
every other conside ration, it is a strict
construction and observance Of the com
promises of that sacred instrument which
binds The States composing this glorious
Union together, The principles advanc.
ed by these resolutions give no cause for
JealOusies or sectional controversies and
are truly worthy of a national party.
In adverting to the administration of
President Polk, these resolutions express
the honest sentiments Of the people The
President is entitled to the gratitude Of all
republicans for his efficiency and ability
in sustaining the institutions and honor of
our country against the inroads of enc
mics, both foreign and domestic, which
has characterized his administration
They. also. cordially respond to the nom.
nations of Cass and Butler. which no one
except d'strdctionist or wing can OBJ
iect to.
The leading questions upon which the
democrats are willing to meet their oppo.
nents are presented by these resolutions.
Democrats are always willing to make
declaration of their principles for 'the
public eye" Is this the case with the
wings : Let the proceedings oftheir Ma
tional convention answer. The wings
instead of electioneeriDg on principles,
expect to succeed by humbuggery, as thew
did in '4O-hence they make no avowal
for the public eye but should they be
successful. we may expect to see them
bring forward their Oft rejected measures,
and fasten them upon this government.

Mr.. VAN BUREN.-From the tone OF
Mr.. Van Buren's letter, of Goth ult., we
were led TO the conclusion that he would
not accept the nomination of the Utica
convention, but tits reported that he has
accepted. II is deeply humilisting to think
that man who has occupied the exalted
position that Mr.. Van Buren, has, should
permit his name to be used to defeat the
the great measures and principles for
which he has during a long public life
professed to be so firmly attached.

Sl!teIal News Of the Ratification Of the
Rs -, Treaty OF Peace,

We publish the following despatch from
S1T commissioners. communicating in an
oft1cIal form, to our Secretary of State,
the ratification ofthe treaty of peace with
Mexico.
The Secretary ofthe Treasury has been
fortunate in delaying the opening of the
bids toT the loan until the 18th of June, in.
stead of the 3lst OF May, in hope of re-
sewing the ofinial intelligence of the rat
lfcaefon ofthe treaty of peace, which has
now reached US. All doubts are now
removed, and the treaty must reach here
ia few days, most probably with Mr..
Sewer.

SlF.-We have the satisfaction to in.
FORM you that we reached this city this
afternoon at about 5 O'Clock, and that the
treaty as amended By the Senate of the
United States, passed the Mexican SEN
ate about the hour of our arrival, by a vote
OF 80 to 5. II having passed the House
OF Deputies, nothing now remains but to
exchange the notifications of the treaty.
At about four leagues from this city we
were met by a Mexican escort; under the
command Of Col. Herrera, and were es-
eorted to house prepared by the govern
HsenI for our reception. The minister of
foreign Relations and the Governor oftbe
city called upon US, and accompanied US
10 dinner, which they had previously or
dered. So far as the government is con.
eerned, every facility and honor have been
offered US. and Sr. Rosa, the Minister of
Foreign Relations desires US to state he
fsels great satisfaction In meeting the min.
iStess ofpeace from the United States.
We will write to you again shortly, and
more at length, as the Courie. is on the
point Of departure.

Morse.s Telegrapb.

Mr.. Wilson, of Mil vaukie. the agent
for the proprietor, proposes establishing

of stock Is taken. Thisis $500 less than
the amount proposed by Mr.. Olney, the
agent for O'Reiily and. judging from an
expose published in the Chicago papers,
we are led TO the conclusion that il wn'd
be safe totake stock in Morse's line. As
nearly every town of business in the I'm.
ion, is making preparations to be connect.
ed with the Atlantic cities, we trust that
our citizens will not let the present oppor-
tunity pass without exerting themselves
to procure the amount required. Our cit.
liens do not wish to be behind the times,
and we trust it will so be proven by the
erection ofa Telegraphic station here.

The Whig Nominees,

There was tremendous gathering OF
the wings in this place, on Wednesday
last, for The purpose of nominating can.
didate for Sheriff, County Commissioner,
and Coroner. A little over half of the
precincts in the county were represented
in their convention.
As was expected, Alonzo Leach, was
nominated for Sheriff: This the conven-
tion could not avoid, when it took INTO con.
sideration that he had been canvassing the
county for that position about two years.
The convention selected him with the
view that he would be able, through his
scheeming 20 carry large portion Of dem.
ocratic votes, and thereby be elected
Notwithstanding We learn that he has
made the statement, that the ignorance of
the people, enabled any person, at all ac-
quainted with deluding, to lead them as
he saw fit, we are confident that with all
his boasted cunningness, no democrats
will be so lost TO principle and intelligence
as TO prostitute themselves to his service.
No intelligent man, can class himself with
democrats. who will give his support to
the wing candidate, for the most impor.
tant office in the county.
In order to satisfy Lockport, the con
vention nominated Dr.. Greer ofthat place.
for County Commissioner; however, we
have not learned whether this bait will
take. DR.. Corbin, Of .Plainfield, was
nominated for Coroner. As for ourselves.
personally, we owe Mr.. Leach no i'll. will,
but as politicians our duty demands Of us
to expose his designs. We are willing
that he should have euery whig rote, in
the county, but democrats can do better
to vote for their party and principles.
The SD GRAND DIVISION JUDro1A1
CoNvENTIoN.-We notice in the Ottawa
Free Trader, a statement that would in.
innate that this convention would be held
at Oregon, on the I'd Wednesday of this
month. AS there is no committee TO call
such convention. every part Of the Di.
vision should be consulted in regard to the
time Of meeting. The ninth Judicial
circuit SHOULD not dictate in the matter as
would be the case, if the Free Trader in.
sists upon that day. As far as we have
been able TO learn the wish of the people.
the general desire is that the convention
should not be held till after the Angus,
election. Mr.. Bradley of the Chicago
Democrat concurs in this opinion. Indeed.
should the convention be held before that
time. one half of the counties ofthe Di.
vision could not have time to call their
meetings to select delegates in time 10
attend. We hope the Free Trader win
not insist upon its day, for the claims Of
it's choice, could not be injured by putting
the meeting off short time.
