The 9th Resolution of May 10Th.

Whatever of absurdity, of heresy, or of mis-.
chief, LocoocolSm, seething in the cauldron of
Il National or State Convention, eaboraes in
10 a REVOLUTION, becomes transformed inlo a
principle, and is elevated into platform, upon
which all members of the party and aspirants
to Office are expected 10 stand with what amount
of legs they are able to keep under Them. The
doings of the fifteen Senators who retired from
their seats, and ran away from their sworn du.
lies, at the late session of the Legislature, has
been platormi=ed into a fixed Locoloco Jrinci-
pie, by virtue of The lollowiDg-the last Of the
revolutionary series of resolulions:
"ReSOlved, That the manly and patriotic
frmness of the fifteen Senators who retired
from the Senate Chamber at the late session of
The Legislature, with view to prevent an over
throw of our constitutional liberties by fraud
ulent and unconstitutional system of representa-
ton, has entitled those officers 10 The gratitude
of the democratic Tarty."
This foolish and wicked declaration having
committed the party to all the faults and lolies
Of the past, commits them also 10 all The crimes
and consequences Of the future.
1t is difficult, of course, TO predict what the
future W ill be, which has had an origin so dis
graceful, and history so ridiculous; but if the
declared intentions of the parties are to be taken
as an index of what is 10 come, this will not be
the first popular farce that in its last act becomes
a tragedy, nor the first (oolery that has ended
in bloodshed As viewed in the light of the
past, the vista of the future presents 10 our Wis
ion the returned Lleutenat Colonel of Monte
rey, whose appetite for blood could not have
been quenched by any large amount of indul-
gence against The enemies Of his country upon
the plains of Mexico, pieceing out the scanty
fragments of doubtful reputation acquired
there, by demanding bayonets with which 10 ad
vance against the peaceful bosoms of his fellow
citizens here at home; and great party, which
claims to be in vast majority in the State of it
residence, not content with furthering reform
by the peaceful revolution of the ballot box, but
cIamoring for more speedy Purgaton of the
maladies of the commonwealth, to be the resuI
of civil war and all its train Of horrid mischef
and unutterable crueltes.-[O. S. Journal.

George W. Patterson for Lieutenant Governor.
will be received with enthusiasm in all paris of
the Stale. We have time but for single word
in regard 10 them.
Mr.. Fish has acquired his present popularity
by long years of devotion 10 the principles and
organization Of the whig party. Before being
called 10 preside over the Senate of this State,
he had served through one term in Congress-
He was faithful epresenlative-.neyer wrong,
and always efficient.
During the brief period that he has filled the
Office OF Lieutenant Governor, Mr.. Fish has
made troops Of friends. Whether acting as Pre- =
sident Of the Senate or member of the Canal
Board, he performed his duty with dignity, cour-
lesy, and intelligence. Few men in the Safe
combine more OF the qualities necessary in IL
Chief Magistrate. OF his election there can be-
no doubt.
George w. Patterson is we'll known. There
is no worther man or nuer Wing in the STATE.
He has been frequently elected 10 the Legisla-
lature has been Speaker of the Assembly, and
Member Of the Constitutional Convention. In
every position he maintained a high character
as a clear thinker and ready debater. He will
fill the office of Lieut.. Governor with honor to
himself and usefulness 10 the Stae.-.. Albany
