Why Tom COrWin hates Soldiers.

During the evening session of the De-
mocratic State Convention, it was address
sed by Mr.. I. NJ. Griffith, democratic
candidate for representative in Lee coun-
ty, and returned Misunderstanding lost
his right arm at Churubusco. He stated
that the course Of the wing leaders had in
spired his fellow soldiers in Mexico (even
the portion Of them formerly attached to
the wing party) with such profound dis
gust for these "moral traitors" that he did
not wonder that Tom Corwin & other lead
ers of the federal party should wish that
the Mexicans might "welcome our SOL
diers with bloody hands and hospitable
graves!" ........-. go. ~
No wonder the whig leaders are trying
to prevent their Mexican allies from rati-
flying peace; for If the soldiers in Mex
leo should return before the Presidential
election, whiggery would scarcely have a
State to call its own throughout the Union.

Cedar County.

By the following extract from letter
from Cedar county, it will be seen that the
sterling democracy Of that county are pre-
pairing for the battle. They have resolved
to drop all local and personal differences
and unite upon the broad platform of prin-
pie; they feel the importance Of union in the
coming contest, and are determined to do
their duty in maintaining the principles Of
the great democratic party.
~ will merely remark that the happi-
est feeling pervaded the convention, and
from present appearances Old Cedar will
kindle her signal fires upon every hill top;
and at the proper moment, the democratic
guns will be brought to bear upon Mexi-
can whiggery SO emphatically that the palm
will be yielded without a severe general
action. l feel that all is and will be well

Our State Ticket.

At the head of our editorial columns
will be found the ticket nominated by the
delegated Democracy Of the State on the
lst inst. The nominees are good and
true men, who have long served in the
ranks, and are now promoted most Of
them for the first time by their party at
large to serve as standard bearers in the
two approaching elections. Having been
nominated, therefore, BY your representa-
tives, they have a right to expect that you
will tender them your warmest and most
enthusiastic support, especially, as they
have been unanimously nominated, and as
it cannot be denied,even by our opponents,
that better men to fill these offices can
not be found in the State.
Our candidates for Presidential Elec-
tor are men high in the confidence Of the
people. They have been nominated with
a view not only to beat the wings, but that
they may be badly beaten--rather a ques-
tionable expression, we are aware; never
tleless we do not question our ability to do
it. They will visit every portion of the
State, canvassing the merits of the candi-
dates for the Presidency and Vice Presi-
dency, and discussing the principles which
they represent and which, when elected,
they will carry out in their management
of the affairs of government. Upon them
will necessarily fall large share Of the
burthens of the campaign, but one which,
through their friends, they have all signi-
fled their willingness to endure. Too
much, however, must not be expected Of
them and as such state of dependence
would not only be dangerous, but in vio-
lation of fundamental principle Of equali-
ty in our ranks, we hope to see every mem
Der of our party act as though he consid-
cred himselfa committee of action and Wig
lance in the approaching campaign.
