originate in the Senate but in the House. II was not sub
mitted by individual but reported from committee.
Mr. CURRIERis not FreeSoi Whig in any worse sense
than that in which Mr. WEBSTER or Mr.. CHoArE is a
Free-so Whg," but is thoroughly NATIONAL conservative
and patriotic in all his views And he had no connexon with
the bill in question. other than to feel in with other
and leading members of the body to which he belonged the

present the resolutions, which passed by that Lega
ture and the conciato and patriotic tone of which has
been generally applauded G.

Pleased as we were with the proceedings and
action of the late Convention, we are compelled to
remark that there were two little resolutions which,
in our opinion, gave the finishing touch to the whole
matter. The Preamble and Resolutions were, to be
sure, just what they should have been, and still
they were what no disunonist desired them to be-
moderate firm, conservative and in the proper and
spirit We hear occasionally Of muerngs and grumblHgs,
in kind of smoheed voice. which afraid be heard,
uterng complaints and speaking Of submission but man,

and well done. The people approve, and who shall
denim it /!

notice. One of our Delegates, COL McDouaALD introduced
resolution which adopted that the members subscribe
