The struggle Ended.


After struggle of ten months the Democratic
al the ever memorable Baltimore Convention, from
the pen of the lamented Silas Wright of New York
the doctrine Of Observation-Disclosures been fully sus
tanned and indicated. The same doctrines Of the
Democratic party in 1S4S have been fully acqusced
in by both Houses of Congress. The Wilmot pro-
viso has been voted down in the popular branch of
the National Legislature, and California admitted
State b. the triumphant majority of $50 10 Sc.
The difficulty between Texas and New Mexico has
been settled, and we trust peace and harmony will
again reign triumphant in this land of freedom and
the home of the oppressed. Who would not be proud
b of his Democracy under such circumstances-and
who would not also be proud of those of our wing
opponents who broke away from the francis of par
ty, assembled our platform, and who performed such
good service? The following bills have passed both
Houses tO-wit:
The bill admitting California, with her present
boundaries, as a State.
The bill for the formation of territorial govern
ment in New Mexico, without the Wilmot proviso,
and fixing the boundary of Texas; and
The bill for the formation of territorial govern
ment for Utah, without the proyiso
These comprised Mr.. Clay's omnibus, which was
upset in the Senate.
The fugitive slave BILL and the bill abolshng the
slave trade in the District of Columbia are not as
yet decided. We hope they will be acted upon in
the right spirit

We are favored, by the Rev. Mr.. Mitchell, to
whom the following letter is addressed with the phi
vilege Of giving it publication in our columns
There are some important points in it which should
claim the attention of statesmen-the designs of
Great Britain on the continent of Africa, and their
desire to open up that country field for trade and
commerce. Ever true to their commercial inter-
ests, the English wish to grasp the fertile part of AT
RIGA and make it dependant the English crown.
No labor will be spared to attach Africa to Eng
lands interests
But has nct the United States something to do with
the future desnies and history Of the world? Shall
she, with her great political pocer excelled by none
in moral porOer remain inactive spectator of the
movements of Europe on the African question? We
think not. AS nation we have claim on Africa
In the name of her sons who are amongst us, we
should secure a home for them, and, by their aid
propagate our beloved republicanism and revered
Christianity.
Two years ago the friends of Liberia, in this
State, commenced system of petition and cores
pondence, inviting the attention of the statesmen of
the nation c the subject of National plan Of Colo
nzation and hitherto success has crowned their la
bors, for the nation is fully ripe for the movement
and what rejoice in is the fact that our own State
has nobly taken the lead and kept it. The joint
resolutions % of General Assembly on the subject
Of African Colonization having been published, with
expressions of much favor in the leading journals of
our country and have found their way to Europe
and Africa.
Our friends in the South, have taken advantage of
this favorable expression of public sentiment, and
have introduced the Bryant proposition, to aid the
government in the work of establishing ga line or
lines of transport TO ply between this country and the
coast of Africa, facilitating emigration and absorb
ing the growing trade of that country"
This plan of transports is now before Congress,
and the friends Of the measure watching its fate
with intense interest The destiny of thousands Of
the children of Africa is involved in the measure
and the man that opposes it must be able to give
good for doing so, for its friends will require
a reason.

control OF it since Dr. Ellis elected Auditor of State
The new proprietors Messrs. Emrick & Bouton.
We like their Saluatory, and hope that their
will heal up the divisions which exist among the Democ-
racy Of Old Elkhart."
We most cordially unite in the hope that such
may be the result, and that Democrat will wait
for his brother, who may have been temporarily
estranged from him, TO give him the right hand Of
fellowship, but march up and do it himself
