for the speeches Of the same gentleman and of
General CAss, made at me Democratic Asso-
citation on:.aao eighth of January. We have
applied to our Democratic friends for the pam
phlet copies. We have advertised for them.
They have not, however, been forthcoming.
They seem to have gone out of print. l., is a
pity that such specimens of eloquence and
statesmanship should be so difficult Of access,
and we therefore reproduce an impression of
one of them in this mornings Republic, and
shall do the same by the others on some future
day. We copy from the official report which
appeared in the Washington Union Of the
eleventh of June. We preserve the typography
of the original. The idea Of treating the Ca
ribbean Sea and the Gulf Of Mexico as closed
waters is indebted for its typographical en-
phasis to the reporter Of the Union, or to the
author himself. We give it as we find it.

Tho Georgia Conventions.

A convention was to assemble at Macon on
the 18th instant for the purpose Of nominating
candidate for the Presidency suitable to the
Wings of the Union party Of Georgia, who
were unwilling to accept Mr. PIERCE as their
candidate, and supposed generally to be favora-
bic to Mr. WEBSTER; and another convention
was to meet at the same place on the 18th,
composed of delegates favorable to the election
of General ScoTr. The first mentioned body,
we learn by telegraph, met at the appointed
time, lac delegates being in attendance from
forty one counties EDWARD H. WoRRELL,
Of Talbot, was chosen President, and General
B. H. RUTHERFORD and Colonel II. V. Cum
MING, Vice Presidents. A committee of
twenty four, being three from each Con
gressional district, was appointed to report
business for the convention, and also to confer
with the Scott Convention to be held on the
following day, in order, if practicable, to har-
monize their action; after which an adjourn
ment took place.

Decisions OF THE LIauoa LAw.-Thc supreme
court OF Maine have decided thetEthe inhabitants
of that State may keep liquor in their houses for
their use, and that liquor may be brought int
and transported within or through the State, if it
be not intended for eale. The amount Of the deci
sion seems to be, that the Legislature may prohibit
the sale, or keeping or Offering for sale, OF liquor
but cannot prohibit its use. This decision makes
the law analogous to the laws concerning other
poisons. Only licensed druggists and apothcca-
ries can sell arsenic. These can only sell 1t under
certain regulations, and others cannot cell II at
all. But the law does not prohibit the use,
Under this decision, we do not Gee that the hotels
and boarding. houses reached in the use OF Ii
quors any more than private families. The guests
Of public house may be said to stand in the rea-
ton OF private family toward the host as its head,
and he may provide rs he fit for thosc who
have placed themselves under his charge. We do
not see, under thia construction Of the law, how
hotels, which confine themselves to supplying their
guests, can be legally incommoded in the use of
liquors. The question, however, is likely to be
soon tested. In the meanwhile our hotel keepers

The WEBSTER MEETING AT BosroN The Bos-
ton Adcertiser of the 18th instant publishes the
following notice of this meeting: r..
"The Webster meeting at the Art Union Hall,
last evening, was attended for more than an hous
by as many gentlemen the would hold.
Mr.. Matthew Hale Smith called to the chair,
and Messrs. J. B. Wheelock and s. M. Hobbs
were appointed secretaries. A committee, con-
sisting of Messrs. Charles A. White, George
Wheelwright. and Hubbard Winsow, reporteda
series Of resolutions, recommending on independ-
ent nomination for the Presidency by tho friends
OF Mr.. Webster. One of these resolutions pro-
posed a committee to call a meeting in Faneuil
Hall to nominate list of electors. The resolutions
were advocated by Messrs. Henry Williams and
Hubbard Winslow, and were then adopted.
1.-The chair appointed the following gentlemen
on the executive committee, viz: Messrs: George
T. Curtis, A. H. Nelson, Hubbard Winslow,
Samuel Kettell, and Charles A. White; and the
meeting subsequently increased the number Of tho
committee to seven, and added Messrs M. II.
Smith and Tolman Wiley. Leave was given to
the committee to fill vacancies.
"The President then made an eloquent speech,
closing with an additional resolution, which was
adopted, recommending the names OF webster
and Graham az the Presidential candidates; and
after that the meeting adjourned to come together
at the came place this evening"

Foreign Policy OF the Pierce Democrac.

Foreign Policy OF the Pierce Democracy.
We reprint in another column the speech
delivered by Mr.. Senator DOUGLAS at the
Grand Mass Meeting Of the Democracy held
in this city. in pursuance of a call Of the Jack
son Democratic Association, to 'respond to and
ratify the nominations made by the Democratic
National Convention OF General FRANKLIN
PIERCE, of New Hampshire, for the Presi-
dency, and Colonel WILLIAM R. KING, of Ala
bama, for the Vice Presidency" 1t was at
this meeting, our readers will remember. that
General CAss, in very brief and dignified
speech declared his adhesion to the unexpect-
ed ticket, and that General HoUsTON and Cen
eral LANE united with other disappointed aspl-
rants in eulogizing the military and civil services
Of General PIERCE. In many points Of view this
was an interesting and important meeting, but
in no respect more interesting or more important
than from the exposition then made by Senator
DOUGLAS Of the foreign policy Of the Demo
cratic party. The relations of the honorable
Senator from Illinois to the Presidential candi-
dacy; his relations to Young America; his posi-
ton in the Senate of the United States; the
fact that he has been deputed to address the
Democracy in twenty, eight States between
this time and the election; all these considera
tons lend weight and importance to his re-
marks on the occasion in question He speaks
for General PIERCE. He will exercise a COM
handing influence, in the event of General
PIERCE's election, in the new administration,
as the active leader of the party in the Senate
Hence it is that his opinions, in matters con-
nected with our foreign relations, are appealed
TO as the views Of the next Democratic admin
istration.
We have received several applications for
copies Of this speech Of Senator DOUGLAS, and

THE DEATH OF JOHN VAN buren, ia announced
ina Wisconsin paper before U.s. Ofcourse it is a
mistake, and yet the editor proffers a plausible
reason for his announcement. He had just been

From Tie Riehmond (Hs.) Republican.

Tho Democratic papers are constantly asking,
/" Why does not General Scott resign D" And the
Whigs answer. !" Because nobody 10 more compe.
tent than he to ill the place he holds and because
neither necessity nor propriety requires IT, He has
nothing to do with the civil standardization of the

Everybody acknowledges bis competency as n
commander Of the American army-and the PEG.
pie are merely considering whether they will pro.
nlVte him, and make him commander in-chief Of
the army and naoy This, we think 1t probable,
they mean to do. and therefore they don't want

don't they insist upon Senator Kings resignation?
We are not very intimate with political history as

Graham in retiring from official station because he

that the Bank of the Republic, which in that st 10

OF the above, eleven have been prominent Wing
members Of Congress. In addition to the names
