TRUE DEMocRAcY.-The following resolution,
adopted by the last Democratic Conventionof the
Stale of Indiana, is worthy Of being inscribed, IN
letters of gold, upon every pbic place in the wide
extent of our country. ItBteatles the true spirit
OF our party and would to ;Ileavent tina. we could
see those manifestations ofdevotion to the cause
which distinguish our brethren Of Indiana, in
every parl ofthe Union. Their motto is Union,
concession, harmony. Every thing for the cause
nothing for men,
ResolSed, That the great Democratic party OF
the Mississippi Valley knows no North nor Sonth,
but like her noble rivers they comprehend both
extremes, and looking at theConstitutiono OF these
United States, that binds together the extremes OF
this Union, with its compromises, we regard every
and any effort upon the part of the National Lee
gisature (under present cirtumsances) to oind
the future inhabitants Of portion oil our terri
tory as To their local institutions internal affairs,
which are to exist in States hereafter to be formed
as improper, and calculated 10 create local aud
sectional divisions, and weaken the ties OF this
great Con!ederacy.
REMARKABLE HAIL SToRMs.-A hail storm OF
very remarkable violence, Gays the Richnond
Times, took place below l,ynchburg on Friday
evening last, and was followed by another still
more violent on Saturday. Tie effects are 10 be
seen for at least so miles along the canal. On
some estates below Lynchburg, the wheat and
trees are completely riddled Persons along the
| canal represent that the stones were in some
| places as large as a mans fist. The damage to
! the wheat crop within the influence of the hail
J must have been very great. Il is curious me.
| THEOLOGICAL fact, that the weather, after these
| storms, was excessively warm.
