OTWc invite the special attention Of
our readers TO the following resolu.
tons adopted by convention of the
Democracy recently convened in
Knox County Ohio twill be seen
that they repudiate the doctrine ofthe
Ohio Wings, as expressed by their
State organ, the Ohio State Journal
and as clearly ovinced by their Rep
resentatives in Congress. The State
Journal is warmly in favor OF repeal,
ing the black lars, and ~ FAVOR OF
NEGRO SUFFRAGE. It, and the party,
it represents are Of course free soil
ers and abolitionists. But it will be
seen that the staunch Democracy Of
the Buck Eye State is not with them.
/ Whereas, 1t is a fundamental doc.
trine OF the democracy. that the voice
of the majority shall govern, and that
the people Of the States, and the Ter
ritofie S, have the right 10 make their
Institutions, provided they conform to
constitution, framed by the wisdom
of Washington, franklin, and their
compatriots, and sealed with the
: blood Of the heroes Of the revolution
therefore.
Resolued, That we believe that the
powers of Congress should be oon6n-
. ed to the limits prescribed by the
constitution and that Congress does
not possess the right to pass local
laws for the government Of the people
0 of the State OF Territories.
G Resolred. That the democratic party
n are opposed to giving negroes the
q right to vote, and that they are oppos-
ed to opening the doors Of our State
to the negro population Of Virginia
u and Kentucky"

The Huukers true 10 their
first love.

Much has been written by know
ing Southern wing editors, about a
coalition between the non-inter(er-
ence, and free soil Democrats, Of n.
York. They have heralded it forth, as
omenous Of the treachery Of the true
Democracy of New York. In fact
the falsehood had been so mdustri-
ously circulated, that many wings
were doubtless satisfied that il was
true. A convention Of the two par
ties was called but the Hunkers new
er intimatcd their intention to aban-
don their position ofnon-inteTentiOn
by the Government on the question
of Slavery. This was sufficient how
+ ever for southern wing editors to rest
their charge upon, and they have pra'
ted most Justify and most yociferous
" about the New York coalition
the South betrayed by the New York
lIunkers, and such other disgusting
trash. Well what is the thruth.
What did this horrible conven,
ton! Did the Hunkers betray tn,
South? Not so. No such thing
The Hunkers refused to abandon
their proud position. Efforts werc
made to unite the disorganized party
but be it told to their honor, the Cas-

 White sails flowing, aud gales ringing; There would dwell on the W Id sea-shore, Sweetiy dreaming in peaceful sleep, Amid the scenes love and adore, Or with the bold fisher dare the deep. 4 hon,e home on the wild sea shore!

 Ia shs sfst Placs, this 6 untrue. The imported iEon is different article from any hitherto msnu. fsctured in this country. and % far from eec,iDg the ruin Of the ifoa mauafscsufsrs from the tesi- mony of several honest and Intelligent men enga- grd in the basinea. t appears that, "at pysseat prices. It will afford good profits aa aay other n- vsstmeal of capital. certainly msek tettex hea is ssesissd ty eur JarmeEs."
 Even if the statement was true thst the present tariff rnIsous to the interests of lhe iron trade, it would only afford enc more instance of the un. joss policy ever advocated by the whE party, thal of rgislating for the few instead of the many; of taking from the hard earnings of lhs poor to M the glutlcd cosses of the rich.
 In Pennsylvania. where more are engaged Ia the manufacture of iron than in any other State, there are more than ose thousand farmers to one iron master. In the rest of the Union, there are more thau twenty thousand engaged In sgriealtare 10 one manufacturer of iron. All these farmers have necessarily 10 nse more lees manufactured iron in their various sgrieultaral departments. It is m4nesty to lheir interests and to the interest of al! the rest of the community who arc obliged 10 Parchass their productions that iron should be fur nished ut the cheaPes, possible price.
 Again: iron. and above all pig-irpa, is the prn- ciplc Item of expense in the construction of rail rcsds. None will question their universal utility and almost ncslcaabIe benefits IL Is, therefore clearly to the interest of the community at large, of every grade end position in life, that the price of this essential material should be kept the lowest rates, by every means. evea by the introduction oT a foreign manufacture, if necessary.
 Yet this grea eoasefoattoe .rAig party Ia the face of these unquesionabs fscts and regardless of the interests of this great mass of the population are ''moving heaven aud sarth'' to attempt the esiab- llshment of a higher tariff They are willing to impose aa unjust tax upon all the rest of the in- habitaats of the Uaon in order to secure the petty indnencc of feto iron masters in Tennessee and western Pennsylvania, by gratifying their iuordi- nate ararice. How long will such legislators be trusted with the management of public afFairs' If not checked in thetE mad career by the obeF, and honest repsbtesa representatives of lhe people an overwhelming iucubas of national debt and uni syerssl ruin must be the consequence.
