THE RESOLUTIONS.

We point with satisfaction and pride to the Reso-
lutions adopted by the late Democratic State Con-
vention. They clear, explicit, and gave entire
satisfaction to the two hundred Delegates of the De-
mocracy who were present We feel confident they
win meet the cordial approval of the party through
out the State We shall refer to them at length
hereafter.
Our opponents were counting largely on our ex-
pected divisions, the question of the public lands
especially. We need not say how completely they
have been disappointed. Now, aforetime, the
Democrats of the State unit on this question,
and will go forward conquering and to conquer"
The Resolution on Internal Improvements is suff-
GENTLY comprehensive to cover every scheme which
may deserve the fostering aid of the Legislature. 1t
was adopted by the Committee after mature DELHI
Grafton and received the unanimous and emphatic
approval of the Convention. The Democratic
didate, sure, will stand fully upon it. 1t en-
bodies, we have doubt, his views this inter-
esting and important question.
Internal improvements and Common Schools haze
become the settled policy Of the State and the DEM
ocratic party will avail itself Of all just and proper
means to carry out this policy. That party is the
only party of true and safe progress the history
of the country will show.

SENATOR DOUGLASS LETTER-PoLITIcAL CLERGY
We surrender our columns to-day to letter
which has been addressed by Senator Douglas to
twenty-five clergymen, who, at public meeting re-
Gently held in Chicago assailed him, denounced the
Nebraska bill, and in resolutions passed by them
claimed powers ecclesiastical and civil, that are as
alarming to the true Christian as they to the
true patriot. We have from the first appearance OF
these clergymen on the political arena, deemed it
duty to hold them up to the censure and repro
baton of the community; hence we have made
their ambitious pretensions, their coarse assaults,
and their blasphemous and arrogant memorials the
subject of comment oftener perhaps than has been
altogether agreeable many to of our readers.
Judge Douglas has soug no controversy with the
clergy. No entertans for religion more respect
than that distinguished gentleman. The controver-
sy was of their own seeking. No sooner was the
Nebraska bill presented to the Senate than they be-
gan to move heaven and earth against it, and
against him as its author. They denounced both in
terms of unmeasured severity. In his powerful and
crushing letter. which we publish to-day, and to
which we invite the particular attention of our read
ers, Judge Douglas retalates on them with ven
geance He applies to them no harsh epithets; he
uses no bitter terms He is, on the contrary, cour
teous and gentle. But his arguments leave them
defenceess and unsheltered before the peltings of
the pitless storm that will soon break over their
heads.
Assailed, misrepresented, maligned Judge Doug
las has been compelled to defend himself, and he
has done so in such manner as will make the anti
Nebraska parsons repent OF their temerlty: Ihese
men have been rebuked in the Senate, by the press
and by the right-minded members of the sacred pro
fession. It is fit that they should be rebuked by
the rightminded members of the sacred profession
1t is fit that they should be rebuked by good cit-
zens good patriots and good Christians everywhere
The community will not uphold ranting, noisy, po-
ltcal judges; far less should they countenance and
uphold ranting, noisy, political clergymen If the
administration of justice is corrupted by connecting
it with the strife of party politics, how much more
is religion injured and corrupted by the same ALI
ance? Whenever the clergy turn politicians, and
thus bring their holy calling into :disrepute and
contempt it is greatly to be feared that the people
will be driven into infdelity Washington Sent. y

Judge M,LOam,s Opinion.

Court in the case Of Wool'ey vI Dodge, Treas.
urer Of CuyahOgs county, relative to the tax
law Of 1853. against banks incorporated ander

to be unconstitutional and void. The o. 8.
Journal in speaking Of the decision says
This decision is of great importance to the
Banks, and to the people Of the State. Il ful.
ly settles the principle. It declares our laws
on the subject unconstitutional and void. II
decides in substance, that the ta1es already paid
by the banks, and which have been paid under
protest, must be repaid BY the county treasur-
srs 10 the banks We have been pursuing a
policy, under the leadership of such lawyers
and STATESMEN (?) as Pugh Il Co, which is
pronounced By the Supreme Court Of the Uni
ted States as unconstitutional. We have invol.
we'd the State in numerous, vexatioua and most
expensive law suits. In ONE OF them alone the
county Of CyahOga has been compelled to pay
Judge spalding over 100 dollars fees, for de-
Tending the treasurer Of that county in his ex-
ercise Of the power attempted TO be invested
in him by the famous CRow Bar Law. This
is one isolated case. There are many more
such, and there are TO be hundreds, il the
County treasurers do not peaceably and forth
with, repay to the banks the money thus wrong
fully taken from them Itis sad CHAPTER in
the history of Ohio politics. and a costly one
for the people. But, it is no more than they
should have expected when they put themselves
in the hands of such shallow demagogues.--
