A good Repartee.

Some days since, one of the Indiana Sena-
tors, alluding to the meagre salary of the Gov
ernor of Rhode Island, remarked that from the
inadequacy of the compensation allowed that
officer, he was forced to raise cows, and ped
die milk, for living. Mr.. Clark, the Sena-
tor from that State, replied that Rhode Island
milk was profitable business, as they always
there killed the calves and sold the milk. The
great difference between his State and some
others that he could name, in this respect, was
that they raised their calves, and having moth
ing else to do with them, cent them to Con-
gress.
The Hon. John B. Weller, of California,
soon after obtained the floor, and thinking,
doubtless, that the Indiana Senator was not
capable Of taking care of himself in passage
at arms with the Rhode Islanders, very kindly
came to his aid. He remarked that he did
not wish to provoke reply, or he might be
tempted to show the Senator was mistaken in
his statement that they killed all the ealpes IN
Rhode Island
Mr.. Clark retorted, that he never deserted
his State, never went abroad to seek a fortune
and konors he could not get at home. In Rhode
Island rested the sons Of the first officer Of the
American Navy, and the round hated little
Quaker, who signed the Declaration of indie
pendence. They were his ancestors, and from
them he derived his principles Of fidelity to
the interests and constitution Of the country
He had never abandoned her to seek the gold
en- god.
Those who are acquainted with the private
history Of the California Senator, will under
stand the force os the retort. 1t bit him d
midriG, and we doubt not he was fully salts
fed to draw of and let the Rhode Islander
alone.--N. Albany Tribue.

our limited acquaintance with him would ma
turally inspire We have no thought now
that he proposes 10 run as domoocmI and
not as a Union man par excellence, 10 engage
in crusade against him. Far from il; but
il may occur that we will have TO fan the
Goals a little, rs there will, in all human prob
ability, be personal friends OF ours in the field
seeking the office, er whom we shall roll up
cur sleeves "to the arm pits aud our brecch-
es 10 the crotch, aud wade right into the can
vass. Should such he the case, we shsll strike
with vehcmence wherever we think blow
can be made 10 tell, regardless Of the victim,
or It's effect upon US personally. We see a
place now where HEX would make "some
comc," aud old Nick is nndging our elbow,
saying, "let him have it." but we won't just
now. Should, however, such not be the case,
we will let the candidates fight il out among
themselves and "the longest pole take the
persimmon," say we. II that should be Gov,
Foote's, neither he nor any Of his friends will
hear us utter word Of complaint provided
all be done fairly, and we feel assured that il
cannot be done otherwise. - Ficks. Sentinel.

UESDAY MORNING, MAY no, Is5a.

Resolved, That we are 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 10 suspend the pas
sage Of bill whose merits cannot secure the
approval Of two-thirds Of the Senate aud House
Of Representatives, until the judgement Of the
people can be obtained thereon, and which
has saved the American people from the cor
rupt and tyranical domination Of the Bank Of
the United States, and from a couupting sys-
tenn of general Improvements.
Rssolrei, That the democratic party will
faithfully abide by and uphold the principles
laid down in the Kentucky and Virginia re-
solutions of 1898, and in the report Of Mr.,
Madison to the Virginia Legislature in 1909 I;
that it adopts those principles as constituting
one of the main foundations Of its political
creed, and is resolved to carry them out in
their obvious meaning and import.
Resolved, That the war with Mexico, upon
all the principles Of patriotism and the laws of
nations, was 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 nor physically, by word
or deed, have given "aid or comfort TO the
enemy"
Resoleed, That We rejoice at the restoration
of friendly relations with our sister republic Of
Mexico, and earnestly desire foi her all the
blessings and prosperity which we enjoy un-
der Republican institutions; and We eongratu-

Caught at Last.

Our worthy father Dustin,--the friend Of all
poor people,-told us an anecdote few days
since, illustrative Of the cunning and sagacity
of the Fox. 1t was in the town of Bethel we
think-many years ago, that farmer set his
trap for the reyaards. For fourteen success
sve visits to it he found his trap sprung, a
stick Of wood between its jaws, and the bait
eaten up. The circumstance so often repeated,
surprised him. There were no other tracks to
be seen but his own and those Of the foxes,
and who sprung the trap, that, was question
that puzzled him sorely. BY continuing to
rebait his trap he hoped to catch the author
of the mischief On the fifteenth night, he
found fine old fox hung to it by the nose,
and in his mouth was stick Of wood From
the circumstances it would appear that the
cunning animal, had sprung the trap fourteen
times with stick, butin attempting it the If
teenth time he unfortunately got stick too
short, and he consequently got his nose nip
ped. The incident, improbable as II may ap-
pear, is said 30 be a fact.-Bdnner.

SS Al the time appointed for the assem-
bling Of the precinct delegates appointed by
the Democratic meeting, held at the Cou...
house, on the 18th Of April last we have
thought best to re-publish SO much Of the re.

ty, and the various delegates have full notifca-
ton Of their appointment, also of the time ap
pointed for them to assemble. We also re-
publish the Baltimore platform, as the princi-

bled in Baltimore in June last, and that as
