DEFERRED ARTICLES.
Hen. Charles K Field.

letter has been received by the Democratic state
committee from Mr. Field in which he declines being
the nominee of the democratic party Tor Lieut.. Gov
The committee content themselves by making the bare
announcement that Mr. Field Declines without giving
his letter in which, no doubt his reasons are set forth
for taking such step. That he has reasons will ap
pear from the following extract Of letter wrttenb
him to the Editor of the Bennington Gazette under
date of July "A, 1848.
I have this morning addressed letter to the state
committee declining the nomination oil It, Governor,
and directing them to strike my name from the ticket
| believed such course due to the denocmcy-my
views were not known to the convention at the time
of the nomination. and it is possible the nomination
was adopted from belief that in common with many
others was an ardent supporter of Gen Cass. In no
event whatever can be induced to vote for him-he
is cowardly-an unprincipled political hack-and
marvellous worthy nominee of the worthless rcksters
who assembled at Baltimore Go on and organize;
good will come out of it, if does not relieve suffering
humanity, it will at least subdue the haugheur and
nsoence of Southern politicians, who have lorded 1t
over Northern doughfaces until they have made them
as supple and crnging as the degraded slave. 1t IS
rather painful parting With old friends, some of whom
have acted with for more than twenty years. but |
cannot consent to violate of the earliest political
max ms that was taught me, which was to be always
consistent. Again, am influenced by cardinal
maxim of the democracy OF this country-Everythlng
for principles nothing for men,

Modern Who Doctrines.

In all previous campaigns, when the Liberty party
has pressed upon Wings the duty Of doing something
to crcumscrbe or overthrow the Slave Power, they
have told u.s. "True this ought to be done; but there
are other great interests which your candidate does not
represent and which ours does We feel deep So
lictude for those as well the slavery question:
Very well what are those other great interests" as
represented by Gen Taylor? He has stated, in do
zen letters and in all sorts of phrases. and to all kinds
of men, that he knows nothing about the currency,
tariff public land or internal improvement questions
and will never be the exponent Of any party schemes
But he stated to the Committee of the Mississippi
Legislature, that he was IN favor OF the war-was Tor
its vigorous proSecutlon-was In favor OF indemnify
and that terroral-was opposed to the Wilmot Provi-
So and thought the South ought not to yelled to Its
provisions, and that the territories should be lett open
and free the ect Of saveryand that he thought
the ultimate absorption of the whole OF Mexico was In
evitable Here them the "0ther great Interests"
Of the whlg party for this campaign Are they not
beautiful whig doctrines? How nearly they resemble
lthose promug gated in Mr.. Cays Lexington speech ?
AWho does not know that they in direct hostility to
levery sentiment put forth BY him to every principle
ayowed bV the wing press, ever since the annexation
loTexas? True zoe never believed in the sincerity
o one half these avowas We have repeatedly de-
CARED that in three cases out of four, they put
forth for show, and not for use and that their authors
the yerest hypocrites that ever welded dema-
fed We trust that some of the editors orators, ard
leading meROf the ." late" wing party, who are now
turning their backs upon its foul carcass will give US
credit for finding out and exposing its dupiclty and
ble-dealing sooner than they. Our quarrel was
never with these latter members of the wing party
the Adamses, Summers. Aliens, and other-excePtng
as they stood in the way of our reaching and unmask-
ing the dough faces who stood behind them and whose
real characters they are now joining us in denouncng.
But, these other great prosecuting the war
MISUNDERSTANDING and annexng terIitory-extend.
ing slavery soil now freeabsorbing the whole OF
Mexico, and degrading if to the purposes Of the Slave
Power And these The interests, to promote which
the Wings of New England must repudate all their
pledges, all their tried men, and elevate to pow
err an ignorant old stakeholder who frankly avows that
he knows nothing of civil affairs, and who is only
skilled in the trade of human buchery And this is
the peace partythe true Liberty pary-the anti-mit-
tary-chtettain party!

Three Hundred and Thirty Indictments.

The People of the United States will hardly fail to
have their attention arrested by the following state
ment, which we copy from the Alexandria (Va) Ga
zette:
"The grand jury of Washington county, on Thurs
day, brought in indictments against the men charged
with carrying off the Slaves who sailed in the schooner
Pearl 10 the following number and effects Against
Sears THE Captain thirty six indictments for stealing
slaves the property Of thry-sx owners, AMI seventy
four indictments for transporting seVentytour slaves,
making one hundred and ten indictments. The same
number Of indictments, of the nature, have been
found against Drayton 1.-THE supercargo) and English,
ube deck handy making in all, three hundred and thir-
tv indictments. David a. Hail. Esq, is to enter his
appearance"
The penalty for stealing slaves is 10 years impris
onment so that if they be convicted the thirty
six indictments for this, the aggregate penalty for
each will be- 800 years The penalty for the other
offence is 5000; so that conviction under the "a IN
dictments, for this will involve each in fine of
S1480O Should conviction follow on all of the in
dictments, the aggregate punishment of all will be-
1880 years Imprisonment, aud $l4400 fine !!
We are inclined to think that members in Congress
will be compelled by their constituents, to examine
into system which degands aud enforces such eno-
mons penalties as these.
We do not think it right expedient to lay plans in
one State, for interfering illegally and torclby with
the laws institutions Of any other State, however
wrong; and such, we believe, is the sentiment gener-
ally OF the free States but such laws such legal pro-
cesses and such penalties have just noticed are
utterly inhuman, and will certainly arouse feelings of
settled adherence throughout the masses of slave
holding citizens.-Era.

ORGANIZATION OF THE coNTE B

ORGANIZATION OF THE CONVENTION.
Judge STEVENS, of Indiana, called the meet
ing to ORDER and proposed NATHANIEL SAW
YER, of Ohio, as President of the Convention
pro tenn.
Mr.. Sawyer came forward and ordered the
stage to be cleared; and the stage was cleared.
The President nominated Charles P Wells,
of Illinois, and Calvin w. Phllleo, of Connecti-
cut, as Secretaries. Confirmed
Hon Preston King came forward amid great
cheering, and offered the following motion. He
said that it was suggested yesterday that COM
mttee consisting of as many members from
each State as they have electoral votes, should
be appointed to draft resolutions, and recommend
certain propositions for the consideration Of the
Convention. The first thing for us to do is to
unite Cheers. He would read resolution
which the Committee unanimously agreed upon.
There is nothing binding in the resolutions
They are for the consideration of the Convention.
ReSOl0ed, That it is the duty of the Federal
Government to relieve itself of all responsibility
for the extension or continuance of Slavery,
wherever that Government possesses the Consti-
tutonal authority, and is responsible for its exis-
tence.
ReSOlved, That the States within which Slave
ny exists are alone responsible for the existence
of slavery within such States, and the Federal
Government has neither responsibility nor Con-
stitutonal authority to establish or regulate sla.
very within the States
ReSOIUcd, That the true, and in the Judgment
of this Convention the only safe means of pre-
venting the extension of slavery into territory
now free, is to prohibit lis existence in all such
| fprritOrU INV an art Of Conrracs
Mr.. Noble was unanimously confirmed by the
Convention as the representative of the Dis
