these questions would have been saved to the
country-how much bitterness and excitement
of feeling would not have been saved!
The declared intention of supporting the
nominees of the convention and recommending
them to the support Of the people, augurs well
for the success of the party in the state, for it
is too obvious to be denied that the wing pre-
dominance there is the result of divisions in
the democratic party. And why should not
the democracy of New York as well as of the
whole Union, come together again, now that
the questions that have divided them, are ami
| cably adjusted and in one united phalanx
march forward, and re-establish its principles
| in the national councils! They ,riN do it.
The following is the state ticket that was

The Railroad Loan.

There has been much rejoicing among the
friends of the Ken. and P. r. R. Of late, at
the result of the ballotiDg Of several towns on
the question of loaning their credit to that Co.
After the question had been decided in this
city, an extra train with about 500 of our citi-
zens, proceeded to Brunswick, to carry the
news, and to inspire the people there to use
their utmost endeavors to decide the question
in the same way. On Saturday last the citi-
zens of Brunswick voted 5SS yeas to 252 nays
to loan their credit also, to the amount of $75,
900 for the same purpose, on which occasion,
an extra train filled with people, visited Bath,
to exchange gratulations on the successful ter
mination of affairs thus far, and they all seemed
to be highly delighted.
In Gardiner, Hallowell and Augusta there
has been much rejoicing. The Hallowell Ga
zette says,
On Friday evening, the citizens of Augusta,
in large numbers came down, preceded by the
Augusta Brass Band, and after the procession
was joined by many of the citizens Of this town
the streets were promenaded and the citizens
of Hallowell were congratulated by cheers and
music on the result of the question. Several
gentlemen responded from the front of their
dwellings in neat and pithy speeches, and a
wind up was made in front of the Hallowell
House by cheers for the ''Loan Bill, " the ISIS

WIscAssEr, Sept. 20, 1850.
The GLORIOUS uncertainties of the law are
rendered more and more conspicuous by the
legal proceedings here from day to day In
all the trials the present term the losing party
have filed motions to set aside the vcrdicts, and
in one case the verdict was so unsatisfactory
that both sides filed their motions for the above
objects. Judge Wells is interchangeable in his
exertions to expedite the business on the dock

any stage of trial the counsel requires mo-
ment to prepare plea, or "mend," the cause
is suspended and another case commenced be-
fore the other jury. This industry is highly
commendable and tends much to expedite the
business of the court.
In the case of Moors Us. Thompson, the jury
rendered ruinous verdict for the plH for

to SjS,46. The verdict being under 500 car

Indian Summer.

We are now in the midst of what is termed
the "Indan Summer" The weather is mild
and pleasant, and the evenings, enlightened by
the full orbed Harvest Moon are indeed charm

wont to expatiate upon and admire.
We are verify of the opinion there is no
place on earth where'the sky assumes a more
gorgeous appearance than at our sunset. Talk
to others of Italian skies but for us, there is
nothing more beautiful in nature than the tint
ed evening clouds of our own beloved New
England. The clouds are massy and heavy
like piles of gold and fire, and evening after
evening an attentive observer will be literally
astonished with the brilliant phenomena of the
west. 1t is most beautiful to live under
such heavens as these. 1t is really positive
blessing, and we had rather be poor in New

Reunion of the New York Democracy.

Reunion of the New York Democracy.
One of the most cheering evidences of re-
turning sanity on the part of the democracy OF
the empire State is the recent harmonizing
of those differences which have so long dis
tracted their councils, and which have produc-
ed such dire disaster to the state and to the
country.
The State Convention, holden at Syracuse
on the 18th inst, was comprised of delegates
of each section of the party, about equally d.
vided Ferral C.. Downing, Cass democrat
was the permanent President John Van
Buren,, whose seat, as member, was contest
ed, was admitted by vote FOG to 81, Cass
voting to admit him.
The Committee on Resolutions was compos-
ed of nine regular democrats and seven charm
burners The resolves which they reported.
were adopted by vote of SO to 26, and were
substantially as follows:
1. That the democracy of New York are
attached to the principles Of the national demo
cratic party of 1910, 1914 and 1913.
?. Congratulates the country upon the re-
cent settlement by congress of questions which
have divided the states.
5. That the nominees Of this convention be
commended to the support of the people.
4. That We regard the wing policy as pro-
scriptlve and corrupt.
.. nat the whig performance in this
state Is the result of divisions in the democratic
party.
6. That we cherish the union of tho states
and deprecate every thing calculated to peril it.
The true spirit of democracy is embodied in
the above. 1t was recreancy to-a den,rtnro
from the principles of the national democrats
party of IS40 1914 and IS4S'' that produced
the divisions and consequent defeats of the
democratic party of New York, and we hail
with the liveliest emotion, this determination
on their part to rally for their old principles,
upon their old platform.
In congratulating the country ''upon the re-
cent settlement by Congress of questions which
have divided the states,'' the sentiments of the
entire democracy of the Union are echoed
And the fact is gratifying one that these
questions have been settled precisely upon the
ground taken By the distinguished nominee for
the Presidency, of the democratic party, LEW
rs CAss-in the campaign. Had he been
elected, how much time and money that have
been needlessly spent in the adjustment Of
