have seen, the Nebraska Bill, its Principle, ana
the Policy it indicates, have been endorsed IN
the strongest terms
Since then, State Conventions of Admins
tration supporters, calling themselves the Demo-
cratic party, have been held in New Hamp-
shire. Vermont, and Maine. That OF New
! Hampshire was held at Concord, on the 18th,
and we copy the resolutions adopted, as they
probably embody the plan Of the Administra
ton for restoring harmony among its follow
ers Ii is no new thing that resolutions should
be prepared Mt Washington, and sent to the
States for adoption The resolutions Of the
New Hampshire Legislature, OF State Demo
cratic Convention in ls45, in relation to
Texas were drafted we are told, by John C..
Calhoun, transcribed by Levi Woodbury., and
despatched to the emissaries of the Admins
trntion in New Hampshire,
The resolutions, then, which follow we pre-
sumo arc the handiwork of the Pierce Admins
tration, and, as such we publish them:
Resolved, That the Democracy OF New
Hampshire adhere as firmly as ever to the
platform adopted at the National Democratic
Convention ut Baltimore, on which the last
Presidential election was 80 triumphantiy
fought and won; and that we still preserve with
increased fervor our former devotion to the
Constitution and Union, and our undated hoe
tlity to all parties and all factions that would
ALLEVIATE the affections Of the people from those
great bonds of our national liberty and pros.
perity.
sResolved, That the right to regulate their
domestic Institutions for themselves, within
their own limit, ought to be enjoyed BY the
people OF all the States and Territories OF the
country; that tho Compromise acts OF 1850
substantially recognised the jnatice OF this
principle which has ut length been made uni
form in its operations in the recent action OF
Congress in passing the bill for the organza-
ton Of Kansas and Nebraska.
q Resoiued, That the administration Of Frank
In Pierce has been directed by high, pure,
and national considerations, and has exhibited
proofs of WISE liberal, and patriotic policy
that it has shown itself true to the great prin-
ciple of Jefferson and the early leaders of the
Democracy of tho country and therefore we
continue to repose in it the most unlimited con-
tiience, and entertain for it and especially Tor
its distinguished head, the warmest feelings OF
attachment and regard"
slipped from our table, declaring that what
ever differences Of opinion may have existed
among Democrats concerning the expediency
of the Bill when under discussion, now that it
is passed all should acquiesce in it, &C.
The leaders in Vermont, at the State Admin
istration Convention that met on the 2lst Jane,
secured the adoption of the same resolutions,
substantially We have at hand now only a
synopsis of them, given by Democratic cor,
respondent of the New York Evening Post, as
follows:
"The resolutions, all of any significance go
to establish the following positions:
"lst. The unshaken confidence OF the Con-
yention in the administration of Gen. Pierce.
"2d The non-ntervention principle, assert
ed BY the Compromises of 1850 and carried
out ia the Nebraska BILL is true Democratic
doctrine
Sd. But, owing to difference of opinion,
the support of the Nebraska bill not to be
made test among Democrats, but all to be
left free to enjoy and express their opinions OF
the measure without affecting their party
standing.
9th. A condemnation of sectional issues,
and of the platform of the recent Wing Con-
vention."
Parties in Maine have been 80 disorganized
by the Temperance Question, that it requires
considerable circnmlocution TO define them.
The real Democracy, as we have already
announced, met in Convention on the 7th inst,
adopted Temperance and Anti. Slavery resolves,
and nominated candidate for the Office cf
Governor, representing the policy they indica-
tod. On the 18th, the Wild Cat" tchismst-
les from the Democracy, met in State Conven-
ton in Portland, resolved against the Maine
Law and in favor Of the Nebraska Bill and
made their nominations accordingly. On the
2lst. the Hunkers, Administration mon proper,
assembled in Convention Mt the same place,
nominated Albion K Paris for Governor, and,
declining to express any opinion on Temper
ance or the Nebraska Bill, adjourned, after
having passed a single resolution as follows:
" Resolued, That this Convention do now sd-
iourn, to meet their fellow Democrats at the
polls and elect Hon. Albion X. Paris Governor
Of this State for the ensuing year.
In all these States, except Maine, the leaders
of what once was the Democratic Party, march
boldly up to the question, endorse the Nebraska
iniquity, and warmly applaud an Administra-
ton, whose career, unmarked by single DEM
ocratic measure, is stamped at every step with
utter subseryience to Slavery In Maine the
leaders seek to dodge responsibility by passing
no resolutions for or against tho Nebraska Bill
but thero can be little doubt that they have
nominated candidate committed TO the Ad-
minstration, and that they intend to acquicsce
in the outrage inflicted on the free States. A
correspondent Of the New York Tribune, wri-
ting from Washington, June 25.b, says of Mr..
Paris:
:" II IL generally believed here, that when he
was in this city few weeks ago, he spoke APP
provingly OF that measure, and took credit to
himself for having discouraged meeting of
the citizens Of Portland to protest against it,"
SO much for Conventional action, as ind'ca-
ting the nolicy Of the leaders of the marty that
