day last. IL VIII pe Hooooeo'y ioi 'n'
members now to show their hands. The
abolitionists, all of whom are Broderlck
men. will have to toe the mark on these
resolutions. We shall look with consd-
eroble interest for the vote on this Ne
braska question: ,,.
WHEREAs, Senator Douglas, of Illinois,

ritories, and the States to be formed out
/ of them, shall decide all questions OF sla-
very therein through their presentatlves,
to be elected for that purpose.
N
| but reterate in language and substance
the COMPROMISE Measures Of 1850, IN
relation to slavery; which measures ought
to be faithfully observed in all States and
organized territories. Therefore,
Resoired, By the Senate and Assembly

The CoupoNs AGAIN.-We perceive
| that a warm discussion has taken place
in the Senate, on the question of moving
the deposits from the banking house of
! DoI.~ G. AA
cannot see any just pretext for continuing
these gentlemen as the agents of the State
for paying the interest Oh her indebted
ness, or for deposting the monles of the
State in their keeping. We have been
disposed to be as forbearing AS possible in
regard to their failure to pay the January
coupons, and to say as little as could be
conveniently said that might have ten
dency to impair the credit of the house; !;
but we do insist that the Legislature owe
it to the character Of the State to dismis
from their trust agents who have permit
ted financial discredit to attach to her,
The debt for which these bonds were is
sued was contracted mproperly;-but our
citizens have cheerfuly borne enormous
imposts to pay the interest on this debt,
in order to preserve the State from dis
grace. lie interest Was promptly pau
over by the Treasurer to the agents; and
yet when the coupons became due they
were left unpaid, and the States credit
received most serious blow. There is
no excuse for this failure. 1t should not
have happened under any circumstances,
and although we should oppose any harsh
measure towards Messrs. Palmer, Cook
s Co., yet to vindcate the character of
the State it is incumbent upon the Legis-
lature to transfer the agency to some
bankers who will perform their duty
punctualIy and faithfuIly.-S. +. Herald.
GEN. JACKSON ON BoLTING.--At the
session of Congress, 1884, William H.
Crawford, of Georgia, then Secretary of
the Treasury under Mr.. Monroe, was
nominated by Congressional caucus of
the democratic members, for the Presi-
dency of the United States-Mr. Clay,
and other then democratic statesmen,
being, at the same time, candidates be-
fore the same caucus, for the same elevat
ed position. Subsequently, and before
the election for electors by the people of
the United States, Andrew Jackson, of
Tennessee, was nominated in a conven-
ton of the people of Pennsylvania, for
the same position, and this nomination
was responded to by similar bodies in
other States of the American Union. At
