THs BALTIMORE REsoLuT1oNs.-We pub
lish amongst the other proceedings of the Ma
tional Democratic Convention, Con the fourth
page,) the resolutions adopted by that body,
and which declare the principles upon which
in the approaching contest, the great Presi-
Dental battle, is to be fought, so far as the
Democracy is concerned. They are very
nearly the same as those adopted by the Con-
vention of 1914, and upon which MIR. Polk
was then elected. Indeed they are literally
the same, with some additional ones, which
circumstances, that have occurred since 1874
have rendered necessary. They now, as then
declare, in bold and fearless manner, The
great eternal principles of the American De-
mocracy-principles which, the more they are
discussed and made known, the more they
will become popular and universally adopted
by the enlightened voters of America. we &c
not, at this time, intend to 60 into any sPe
cifc commentary upon them, but would mere
" call The attention of the reader 10 them, ant
ask him 10 lay them carefully aside, so that a
the contest wakes warm, and Federalists ash
him for the principles of his party, he can la!
his hands upon them as complete and trium
plant answer. Be it our duty, as an humbl
member OF the press, TO comment upon then
at fitting times, and at ali times, with what lii
tie ability we have. 10 defend them from th'
assaults of Federalism. With these principle
inscribed on our banner in 1914, we achieve
glorious triumph with them we will acheiv
even more glorious victory in '48.

Arrival OF the Hibernia--7 Days Later
from EurODe.

Arrival of the Hibernia-.7 Days Later
from Europe.
From the Baltimore Sun of Monday, in
which we find full details of the foreign news
brought by the Hibernia, we condense the fol-
lowing summary of it's most important fea-
lures -
The steamship Hibernia, Capt Shannon, ar
rived at New York on Saturday at / O'Clock,
P Nj. She sailed from Liverpool on the 9th
instant
Commercial affairs wear rather an improved
aspect.
Ireland was less tumultuous.
The French National Assembly had appoint
ed an Executive Government of five persons.
The prospects of the Italian patriots in the
North of Italy had improved, and news was
expected of victory over the Austrians under
the walls of Verona.
LIVERPOOL, May 10 The weather contin-
ues most beautiful, and is every thing which
can be desired. The crops throughout the en-
tire United Kingdom look most promising, and
afford ample hope of most abundant harvest
We observe that leading Dublin paper gre
grets very much TO state that extensive fail.
ures have been already dscoverefin the pota.
to crop in the west of Ireland" The same
''regrets" appear in few English papers
We are unwilling to believe that there exist:
at present any cause for alarm as to the failure
of the potato crops; and we again recommend
the grower and Spectator in breadstufs t.
look with caution upon these reports.
Blockade Of Venlce--The London Gazett,
publishes an official dispatch from Count Fig
uelmont, in which the blockade of Venice i
made known.
Blockade of German Ports By the Danes
The same Gazette contains an official dispatch
| from the Danish Minister, Knuth, announcins
the blockade of Stetlin, Stralsund, Rostock
Wismar, Pillau, and Dantzic-the four frs
| from the I'd Of May, and the last from the Sd
the blockade Of the Elbe being fixed .or thu
10th.
| IretGnd.-lreland has become more tranquil
The Limerick affair has tended not little tc
this salutary result. 1t is quite clear that there
will be no revolution in Ireland this time; anC
that whatever changes may be brought about
they will only be effected by peaceful agitation
Messrs Duffy and Meagher continue thel
appeals to the people to arm, and are ioinet
by some of the priests.
The potato crops generally promise yer,
abundant yield. Blight has appeared in onl1
a few very limited localities
The name of Mr.. w. Smith OBrien ha
been struck from the roll of the magistracy o

N-Well, we must admit that there is some

G-Well, we must admit that there is some
thing singular in the fact of the two ex-
trCmes-Sou:h Carolina and the Barn burners
of wYork-being out against the action of
the National Democratic Convention. The
Mercury, of Charleston, and the Evening
Post of New York, are both out against
the doings of the Convention. The first, be-
cause the action of that body is deemed preju-
dcial to Southern interests; and the second.
because its doings were too Southern! The
Barn-b burners are about to call a Convention
to nominate an independent candidate for the
Presidency-probably Senator JNo A. DIX
SO says the Post. The Mercury has not an
nounced yet what South Carolina will do in
the premises. Now it may so turn out that
the people, the uoters of these two States, will
take the matter into their own hands, and ad-
Judge the nominees of the Convention to be
their choice. Time will shew.

RATIFICATION MEETINGS. on
the arrival OF the final proceedings of the Con-
vention at Washington City, an impromptu
ratification meeting was held on Friday eve
ming, at which the friends of BUCHANAN,
WOODBURY. and DALLAS were present, and
pledged themselves, hearts and hands, to the
support Of the nominees. The Democrats Of
the city OF Baltimore held a similar meeting
in Monument Square, at which tremendous
crowd were present.

CoNcREss.-During the past week, scarce
ly any business has been done in either House
certainly none of much importance; nor
need we look for the transaction of important
business till after the Philadelphia Conven-
ton. The members of both Houses are en-
tirely too busy in President making, just now,
to attend to their appropriate duties. Mr..
Polk has sent message to Congress in ref
erence to the establishment of a Territorial
Government in Oregon. 1t has not yet been
acted upon. The people of that distant region
are clamorous for some action On the part Of
Congress. We think they deserve and ought
to receive, at the hands of Congress, the ear
lest attention.

Tone OF THE DEMOCRATIC PREss.-So ial
as we have yet had an opportunity of seeing,
the democratic press has received the nomina.
tons of CAss and BUTLER with the greatest
enthusiasm. if we except the Barn-burners'
of New York. We notice that the Evening
Post and Globe of that City are quite savage
upon the nomination, and everything con-
nected with it. CAss, they object to, princi
pally because he is opposed TO the Wilmo
Proviso. Well, go it; we will have to get a
long without you gentlemen Barn-burners'
We can elect Gen. CAss without the vote o.
New York.

INTERESTING TO Posr MAsTERs.-An act
has just passed both branches of Congress, a.
mandatory of the act of 1915, which last ma
med act made the commissions of Post Mas
tiers retainable annually, instead of quarterly.
This was found to be a ruinous curtailment of
the commissions of the deputy Post Masters,
and hence this amendment, which not only
provides that the commissions shall henceforth
be aIlo wed quarterly, but also instructs the
P. M. General, in adjusting the accounts OF
Post Masters, TO make the law retrospective
This is but just, and will rejoice the hearts Of
several of our friends-the Deputy Post Mas,
tiers. The following is the section relative 10
this retrospective view of the case:
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That all
Postmasters, whose commissions have been
diminished by their being allowed and paid
on the amount of postage received in year
instead of on the amount received in quarter
shall be permitted to resettle and adjust theil
accounts according to the first section of this
act, and shall be allowed and paid such sum
as may be justly found their due on such re.
settlement of their accounts.

Our CANDIDATE FOR GovERNoR-Our can
didate, DAVID S. REID, has just completed his
tour through the Eastern Counties, and will
address the people in Granville County on to-
morrow, and at Raleigh on Monday next He
will then, we presume, accompany Mr.. Manly.
the Federal candidate, to the West, and meet
him at the various places where he (Mr. NJ
has made appointments in Stokes, Davidson
Davie. Surry, Wilkes, Caldwell, Burke, Nc.
Dowell, Yancy, and Buncombe, commencing
on the 18th of June and ending on the 4th Of
July. We say we suppose he will accompa
ny Mr. Manly to the West We do not know
the fact. We suppose when Mr.. Reid reach
es Raleigh he will publish his appointments
for the balance of the campaign.
Thus far the accounts which we have re
ceived from all parts of the country which
Mr.. Reid has visited, are very fattering. W.
feel assured, if our friends in all sections o
the State will only second the efforts of thei
standard bearer, we will be able to carry Nortl
Carolina in August next. Mr.. Reid takes ad
mirably with the people wherever he goes
He is more than match for Mr.. Manly Of
the stump. He is far more conversant witt
the political history of the country than is tina
gentleman. Besides, he has the right side O
the question to argue. He is doing noble ser
vice for Democracy, and deserves the warn
and enthusiastic support of every true Demo
crat Our friends, wherever Mr.. Reid ha
been, are sanguine of success. Let US max
bold push bring out all our strength, an
success will assuredly be ours.
