lands ought to be sacredly applied to the nation
al objects specified in the constitution; and that
we opposed to any law for the distribution
of such proceeds among the States, as like in
expedient in policy, and repugnant to the cons
titution.
Resolved, That we decidedly opposed to
taking from the President the qualified veto
power, by which he is enabled, under restric-
tions and responsibilities, amply sufficient to
guard the public interest, to suspend the passage
of bill whose merits cannot secure the appro-
val of two thirds of the Senate and House of
Representatives until the judgment of the peo-
pie can be obtained thereon, and which has sa-
we'd the American people from the corrupt and
tyranncal domination of the Bank of the United
States, and from corrupting system of general
internal improvements.
Resolved, That the Democratic party will
faithfully abide by and uphold the principles
laid down in the Kentucky and Virginia resolu-
tions of 1898, and in the report of Mr.. Madison
to the Virginia Legislature in 1899; that it ad-
opts those principles as constituting one of the
main foundations of its political creed, and is
resolved to carry them out in their obvious mea
ming and import.
Resolved, That the war with Mexico upon
all the principles of patriotism and the laws of
nations, was a just and necessary war on our
part in which every American citizen should
have shown himself on the side of his country,
and neither morally or physically, by word or
deed, have given aid and comfort to the enemy.
Resolved, That we rejoice at the restoration
of friendly relations with sister Republic of
Mexico, and earnestly desire for her all the bles-
sings and prosperity which we enjoy under Re-
publican institutions, and we congratulate the
American people upon the results of the war,
which have so manifestly justified the policy
and conduct of the Democratic party, and insu-
red to the United States indemnity for the
past and security for the fnture.'
Resolved, That in view of the condition of
popular institutions in the old world, high and
sacred duty is devOlved with increased RESPONSE
bility upon the Democratic party of this country
as the party of the people, to uphold and main
tain the rights of every state, and thereby the
Union of the States, and to sustain and advance
among US constitutional liberty, by continuing
to resist all monopolies and exclusive legisla-
ton for the benefit of the few at the expense of
the many, and by a vIgilant and constant adhe-
renee to those principles and compromises of
strong enough to embrace and uphold the Union
as it is, and the Union as it shall be, in the full
expansion of the energies and capacities of this
great and progressive people.
On motion, the meeting adjourned.

The Democratic Nominees.

We have it set down in the Book of Books
''He that humbleth himself shall be exalted."-
The late Democratic Convention at Baltimore,
took into consideration the above quotation. and
nominated man for the Presidency whose
whole life has been that Of an unpretending un-
assuming gentlemen, disinterested patriot. a
devoted radical, and all to-be-praised demo-
crat. Such man is Frank Pierce, and as such
he will be elected President of the United States
From all quarters of the country comes the
gratifying information of the union of the De-
mocracy for the nomination, and their determi-
nation to sustain it and succeed. Personal pre-
ferences are sin the deep bosom of the ocean
buried, and the democratic party stands before
the country eager for the fight For the Vice
Presidency we lave that estimablc man VIM r.
King of Alabama. One who has not only the
respect and confidence Of the opposition party,
but the undying admiration of the entire de-
mocracy. Whose life presents n firm and hope
full adherance to the principles that have made
us as people what we are, and as power on
earth what we should be. With such men, and
with such platform, as is found in an adjon-
ing column, the democratic vocabulary '.knows
no such word as fail We witnessed the wild
enthusiasm of the people at the Baltimore Con-
vention when the nominations were made, and
can safely state that it exceeded all power of
language to describe 1t augured well for sue
cess-it was the bud of that hope which must
mature in November next. We had our first
choice in the person Of the great and distinguish
ed Buchanan, but the Convention in its wisdom
thought otherwise than to nominate him and we
are content. We are heart and soul enlisted for
the election Of the nominees, and are confident
that when the day for action arrives, Little
Cambria" will echo forth glad tidings of joy, in
the shape of at least six hundred majority for
the friends of the Constitution and the Union

The Plague.

1t Is stated that much apprehension is felt in
New Orleans of the approach of a new disease
which is called the plague, and is now said to
be prevailing in some of the West India Islands
A disease called by the same name has made its
appearance in some parts of tho West Ii is
said to be like the cholera, but more fatal
Whether it is the same disease which goes by
the name of plague, in the East, is not stated.
The Boston Medical Journal alludes to the sub
ject as follows
lit Is certain from the accounts received both
here and in England, the true plague has been
introduced into Madeira, and the work of death
has been really appalling. The question was
frequently agitated-win that dreadful disease
ever reach this continent ? There is reason to
believe it will the wonder is why it has not
already. Our commercial intercourse is exten-
sive with various parts of Africa and the Asiat-
ic shore Of the Mediterranean, where this great
scourge is never dead or dying, but simply re-
posing from one period to another, like a IA
dgued giant, to gather strength for re-
newal of slaughter. Should it come, it may be
hoped there will be found more science. and
stronger barrier of medical skill, to meet and
disarm 1t of its terrors, than has been exhibited
in tropical climates, or in the filthy, scourge-in
viting regions of Moslem Turkey. Plague ap-
pertains to the Arab, in this age, and where the
same condition of things exist characterises
their mode of life, their social condition, and
the absence of all common sense efforts TO avert
or arrest it, it will have an abiding foothold"

emocratic Ratific alton Meeting I'm Al
banN.

ALBANY, June y.
The Democracy of this city held meeting
last evening in the Park, in front of the Capitol
to respond to the nomination of Pierce and King
Ex-Governor Marcy called to preside as
sisted by several Vice Presidents.
On taking the chair, Mr.. Marcy made brief
speech, in which he declared himself extremely
well gratifed with the result of the deliberations
of the Baltimore Convention. He said, that
from what he had observed, the party through
out the country was united upon those nominees,
and he trusted their election would be secured,
thereby restoring the government to Democrat
ic hands. The Ex-Governor was loudly cheered
at the conclusion of his address.
The speakers were John Van Buren, of New
York b. F. Halet, of Boston H. B. Stanton,
Horace Seymour and others, of this State.
Resolutions were read by R. w. Peckham,
strongly endorsing the candidates and the plat
form laid down by the Baltimore Convention
They were unanimously adopted, and with much
enthusiasm.
The meeting was one of the largest and most
enthusiastic of any held here since the days of
Jackson.
The booming of cannon, the illuminations in
various parts of the city, the bands of music,
all gave evidence that the Democracy here are
firmly united and will enter into the confess

We clip the following from an exchange with
out knowing its origin. Heaven did not in
tend women to be the inmates of boarding hou-
ses. They are out of their element in all such
abiding places. There are cratic exceptions to
the general rule, but the true sphere of a really
womanly woman is her own home-her true
mission" to make her husband and her child
rem happy Her heart, more than her head.
''marshals her the way that she should co.
Her affections, her wifely and motherly love, in
and give force, energy, and percision TO her
plans and purposes. Such a woman prateth
not for her sexs rights-mourneth not over its
wrongs She attends no conventions, covets not
the double -barrelled garment, demands not
seat on the bench, post in the state, or vote
through the ballot-box. Content with the posi-
ton assigned to women by the Almighty at the
creation, and which the prophets, patriarchs'
to be most meet and seemly for the ''weaker
vessel" the good wife never attempts TO oversteP
the limits of her appropriate spere, but makes
that sphere charmed circle, within which tno
husband and father is disburdened OF has ouSi-
ness cares, and enjoys fulness of placid happ-
ness which the outside world can neither give
nor take away. Fortunate is he who hath su'n
a woman to wife for she shall not only smoo'h
the rouChness of his earthly journey, but iead
him gently by the hand toward Heaven

BagHAn allegation, which we notice in the pa
pers, that the platform of the Baltimore Con-
vention was adopted not in full session but after
more than one half the delegates had departed,
and with dissenting voices, has no foundation IN
truth, and is 1cicked false and base assertion
When the resolutions were read the convention
contained as many delegates as upon any previ-
Gus occasion, and being present, we can posi-
lively assert, that we did not hear one single
no uttered against their adoption.

Bi7yr The Wing National Convention met in
Baltimore yesterday. Its action is Of course
uncertain, yet the friends of Gen. Scott are in
high expectation that he will be nominated
We hazard the opinion however, he will not be.
In few days We shall see whether we are mis-
taken or not. There may be a secession on the
part of the Southern delegates, in case Scott
should be nominated, and believing they will
control the action of the convention we consider
him "a dead cock in the pit" We shall see

SIR In answer to your telegraphic despatch,
it affords me pleasure to declare that Pierce and
King shall receive my cordial support. They
are both devoted to the good old cause of State
rights Democracy, and are worthy to lead the
Democratic forces to victory. Men are but the
creatures of day, whilst principles eternal.
A Democrat is unworthy of the name who would
not waive his personal preference among good
men for the sake of time -honored principles of
his party. Yours, very respectfully,

be seen the clear Scott gain compared with the
August vote, is 1879.
Wehave rumors of Scott gains in Martin, North

We have heard nothing from Clngman's District,
nd but little from Outlaws and Cadwels Districts.
The returns in this State, it is known, come in
very slowly. We shall have enough, in all proba-

us to announce with certainty the result. We be-
