Our Democratic Brethren are in no small de-
gree of tribuaton to what had better be done
about those resembling resolutions. Some two or
three caucuses have already been held, and still
the policy of the party remains unsettled and un-
defined. There some impracticables who in.

very unpleasant one. The affair has been rather
badly managed. 1t would have been good idea
to ascertain before introducing the resembling prop
ostion whether it would prevail, thereby the par

palpabe confession Of the free soil ascendency in
the State. do hope our Democratic brethren
will not hold back from any mere notion of policy,
but will out with whatever is in them on this sub

the Democracy have been stealing our thunder

sition of action on these questions. AS has been
said-they have got to go either to Baltimore or
Pittsburgh-and the passage or non passage of
these resolutions, will not be very important with

such being the fact--you can imagine what is the
state OF things here, where the excitement of the
whole State on this subject centres. Nothing il
thought about or talked about but railroads, and
after every possible place in the State has been
supplied with charters apprehend some enter

charter to the Moon. l am in hopes the wants of
your citizens in the matter of railroads will be

were had, which indicated majority in favor of
the abolition. The matter has been postponed
for tco weeks. A resolution instructing a COM

learn that the Governor, who has never Off
cially accepted the resignation of Hon Chas H.
Larrabee, has requested him to withdraw said re-

general satisfaction to those interested, with the
