re- The following Resolutions were
passed by the Republicans, of the 9Th Con.
gressional District, at Defiance, on the 18th
inst -
RESOLVED, That the crisis has arrived when
tho only issue presented to us, is, whether
the paralizing influences Of Slavery. or the
vital principles Of Freedom shall prevail in
the Administration Of our General Govern
ment.
Resolved, That If evidence is wanted of
the prostra,ion of the Government to the
uses Of Slavery, we find it in the desperate
plans for adding more Slave States 10 the
Union; the passage Of the Fugitive Slave
Law the repeal Of the Missouri Comprom-
Use; the lavish expenditure of money TO
purchase worthless Territory Of Mexico, for
Southern Railroad rack to the Pacific
and for snch partial Harbor appropriations
as that for Cape Fear in North Carolina.
while the vast Commerce of the Lakes and
Rivers is neglected and abandoned; the re-
sstaDce TO the Cheap Postage Policy, com
pelling free States to contribute Million of
Dollars to pay the postage Of the South the
continued Monopoly Of Official Station, the
! substitution of brute force or intimidation
for reason and argument in the Halls of
Congress and the resistance offered by the
South to the free grant of land to free la
borers by n liberal Homestead Bill.
RcSotred, That we are unalteraby op-
| posed to the admission Of another Slave
State to the Union.
Resotred, That we d;sapprove of the
desperate efforts made to obtain Cuba, 10

propr alton Of vast sums of money for the

Resolved That the Fugitive Slave Law,
is an outrage and insult to the moral in
stincts and dignity of the Free States and
ought TO be Repealed,

gitives from Slavery belongs exclusively to
the States.
Resolped That the patronage Of the Elk.
ecutive "bas increased, is increasing and
ought to be diminished"
Resotoed That our practical duty in the
crisis is TO select Candidate for Represen-
tatve TO Congress, who disavows all per-
sonal obligations TO self constituted juntos
at home, or to the powers that dispense ia
vors and patronage at Washington, and
whose previous character and known in
tegritv are a guaranty that he will carry
out the views Of this Convention

Fanr PASSES. press pretty pener.

FREE PAssEs.-The press pretty gener-
orally throughout the country are discuss
ing the matter of Free passes on Railroads,
Steamboats,, &c, and are nearly all unani-
nous in the expression that the system
should be wholly done away. We are per-
fectly Indifferent on the matter, but believe,
the editor Of paper is the loser in the end,
even though he should be the recipient of
free passes. The Cincinnati Gazette, ably
defends the press against the false Impress
ion which prevails as to the exten; of dead
headism enjoyed by editors of papers, and
advocates the abolition Of free passes
The Gazette, however, has little confidence
in thorough reformation of the abuse, and
winds up with a warning to railroad men
as follows:
Now. gentlemen railroad managers, cut
up your free system, root and branch, from
your Presidents down to your hotel boot
blacks. Do not seek favor with the Press,
the Judiciary, Legislature or Councils. by
issuing free passes, and you may calculate
upon the support of every respectable
newspaper in the United States. We think
it likely you will adopt this stringent, but
much needed system, though we have not
the most remote idea that you will carry it
out. But we charge you in case of failure,
to forever thereafter hold your peace with
reference to newspaper dead-heads.

.Sandusky Democrat.
Here we have the plain declaration ol
the editor Of the Democrat that he does
not acknowledge the Nebraska bill as a test
of true democratic orthodoxy. On the con.
traiy the leaders Of the party here in this
county, say that it is the test, and one OF
them told us in a conversation that the
Democrat must go for that measure, if it did
not it would find out where its patronage
came from.
It's settled now beyond a question, that
the Administration have no organ in San
dusky county. How we do sympathize with
them in this their misfortune.

INFAMOUS SQUADRON OF PUBLIC PRoP.
ERrY.--The 81. Louis Republican gives a
pointed instance Of the manner in which
public property is sacrificed, and Of the in
difference Of the government to the inter
ests of the " est On Monday, of last week
il says, "The sale Of the United States snag
boats took place and great sacrifice it was.
Two of them were sold, with all their tackel
apparel and furniture, and one of them
brought $4,000 and the other $4,l0O-
As we understand it, this included every
thing attached to the boats, and in this man.
ner they were transferred to Messrs Feds
& Nelson, who are very honorable and wor-
thy gentlemen. They get the boats for
about $4,000 cash, or $4,000 each. We
have not time to go through the documents
TO see what has been lost by the govern.
mcdt but hasty examination of the ac-
counts shows us that for four snag boats,
the United States paid last year sl44,12l,-
35 These boats were built under the su-
perintendence Of Capt. Russell, and two Of
them have now been sold. The original
cost Of the two was about $4,000, and
now thanks to President Pierce and few
old funkies at Washington, this property
has been sacrificed and only some $4,000
will be paid into the Treasury under this
proceeding. What has been going on?-
Can any one tell? Where was the neces-
sity for this sale, when the boats were wan
ted, when Congress had passed bill au.
thorizing the appropriations for the fiscal
year. and nothing was interposed but the
Executive veto? Was there ever such a
squandering of property as the giving away
of $4,000 for the paltry sum of $s,oOo?'

The Graveyard.

A recent visit to the burying ground
adjoining town, convinced US of the fac.
that though our citizens were alive to
their ~pecuniary interests, and were as
public spirited as those Of any other
town in Iowa, still they had neglected
important duty, and that was 10 pre-
pare a respectable and quiet resting place
for the dead. Our graveyard is a scan.
da; TO the place in which we live. This
is pretty plain Language bu. the facts
warrant its utterance. The graves are
becoming obliierated by cattle and hogs
roaming over them at will, and brush
and weeds are fas. covering up what lit.
lie traces remain of some of them.
Cannot our citizens take some elfectu
al means TO have this remedied? Can
no, the graveyard be fenced and cleared!
We believe il can and should be done.
WHO will move in this matter? Don't
wait for one aDo,her. but let all who have
friends buried there, and all who respec,
the dead move in the matter.
