THE DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE RESOLUTION
The QUESTION SETTLED.-Mr. Needham,
the chairman of the Massachusetts, Democratic
State Committee, has addressed letter to the
editor of the Palladium TO settle the contro-
yersy upon the question whether the commit
tee did or did not pass a resolution endorsing
the administration, 1t is is very PLAIN from
his statement, not only that the resolution did
not pass, but the friends of the administration
did not dare to put it upon its passage. They
attempted to smuggle it through by hand
vote and failing in that did not dare to call
the yeas and nays. The excuse that there
was not time to call the yeas and nays IN a
small committee, because some of the mem
bers wished to leave in the afternoon trains IS
rich. The following is the essential part OF
Mr.. Needham's letter:
"The resolution endorsing the administra-
ton, its acts and measures, was presented by
Mr.. Dresser; was read by the chairman OF the
committee, who called upon those in favor OF
the resolution 10 hold up their hands; while
some members were thus voting aflirmatively,
Mr.. Dresser called for the yeas and nays
This interrupted the voting, and was the &C.
casion of considerable confusion. Some mem
bers, DESTROYS Of leaving in the afternoon
trains, Directing to the calling of the yeas and
nays on account of time, Mr.. Dresser with
drew his motion-probably his motion to the
yeas and nays-but the chairman MIR. Hobart)
evidently understood him to withdraw the re-
solution, as no vote was taken afterwards, and
some gentlemen who We're DESTROYS of voting
against the resolution had no opportunity to
do so.'

REPTBLICAN TICKET'

sxrRBEp. The Rev. Nehemiah Adams OF
posron who invoked the divine blessing upon
the recent Wing Convention IN that city, and
who is known all over the country as one of
the most canting, pro-slavery priests in New
ENGLAND. has written letter TO Henry A.
Wise of Virginia, ostensbly for the purpose
of pumping out that gentlcman's views upon
Slavery. Like all dough faces he begins his
address to the choleric Virginian with his
face in the dust, and says
"Ispent the time from March to June last in
Georgia, South Carolina and Virginia. =
was greatly interested in many agreeable dis
appointments which experienced relating to
Slavery. l think / saw its liabilities, and had
new views of the comfort and happiness of
slaves when their relations are favorable. l
was persuaded that our northern friends were
under misapprehensions, as | was, upon the
subject, and that some things might be said
to relieve honest, conscientious people, who
are distressed about Slavery"
Mr.. Wise intimates in the commencement
of his reply, that Mr.. Adams had better be
minding his own business than catechizing
him about the domes tic institutions of the
South, and then he goes into labored de.
fence of the institution Of Slavery; arguing
that it is God ordained institution, and that
there is not better provided body of laborer.

The MANUFACTURING ENrEnpR1sE OF
FrTcHBURG.-F Few places in the Common
wealth have made such rapid progress in ma
terial prosperity as the fine town Of Fitchburg
In $780, according to the census of that year,
the value of the manufactured articles pro-
duced in the town was little rising s $780,
900. In 1858, as we are informed by Dr. AL
fred Hitchcock, who has been investigating
the matter, Fitchburg manufactured $4,000
900 worth of articles, of which about $780,
900 was in paper hangings, and 100000 in
steam engines and machinery. The other fab
RIGS were chiefly cotton and wooden goods,
scythes, chairs, &c. In addition to this, three
new mills will probably go into operation
within the next three months, which will add
a quarter of million of dollars to the annual
product of manufactured articles. There are
within the limits of Fitchburg, eleven miles
of available mill stream, (the Nashua River
and its branches not more than one half of
which is mproved.-Boston Journal.

BREADsTuFFs. A London paper says
From this harvest to the next there can
be no doubt that the difference in the
price of wheat compared with that in the
previous twelve months, will be at least 2Os a
quarter, $50 on bushels, in favor of the
public, which, on the whole consumption.
will amount to a boon of f25, 900, 900 to that
body on wheat alone, besides corresponding
relief in other grain. Even the cost of the
war sinks to a trihe compared with this boun-
ty from the skies and Notwithstanding all
the lavish expenditure incurred, we now
stand better prepared for war by some twenty
millions than a twelvemonth ago.

SHEEP IN A JEwELRY SroRE.-Seven of a
flock Of sheep going down Main street, on
Thursday morning, attracted by the beauties
of Bailey s. Bowers new and splendid store
in the Pynchon Bank building, unceremoni-
ously entered, led off by stalwart buck.
The latter was instantly attracted by the sight
OF another bristling buck in the large mirror
at the end Of the store, and lowering his head
and taking fair start, he pumped into his
supposed rival. Judge, perhaps, his own and
the store-keepers's astonishment at the crash
that ensued. One of the four panes of which
the mirror was composed. though third of
an inch thick, shivered to pieces under his
well directed blow. The shop dog here in
terposed and drove off the animals before they
could do more mischief. The glass broke
was three feet by four, and cost about $25.
The owner of the sheep is undoubtedly
liable for the damage, but who he is, is not
known.-SprinGtieid Republican.
