A GREAT PAPER.

HE WEEKLY STAR for to-day is great pa.
per. All We ask, to convince the public of
what We assert, is an examination. To q
Washingtonian at distance, or any one who
wishes to keep the run of things here, this pa
per is invaluable. Everything of local ma
ture worth knowing, and all appertaining to
Government matters that is valuable, is faith
fully recorded in this Journal. While its
valuable Washington news is the peculiar
feature of the Weekly Star, it also claims high
standing for its literary selections, con-
tanning, as it does, weekly, choice tales and
poetry. 1t is printed in quarto form, which
makes it convenient for binding, and being
kept as d record of the doings at WASH ngton
The large amount of reading matter contained
in this paper, makes it one of the best and
cheapest papers in the country.
Price only S1.25 year, in odpaucs

SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS.

The Sentinel rejoices that the discovery of
the remains of Sir John Franklin and his com.
panions is likely to put q stop to the current
humbugs about searching for them. The
editor seems to think that Sir John and his
party died, simply victims to their own thirst
for notoriety, and that they are therefore more
oommi serated than they should be.
The Onao" discusses the philosophy of the
y ssouri Compromise lire, the effect of its a..
Shment upon the sectional harmony of
la' country, &C., holding tn at it was originally
inischievous, and that its tendencies have ever
since been bad. The Union, by mistake. we
take 1t TO. granted, makes an attack on Gov
Seymour of New York, placing him in the
same category with Bronson, as disorsanizer.
The short paragraph in which this is done. if
cot mistake, is destined to do it's share in
80 ray u stripping the Admins trason 81
.1lsaas in the Stale of Nav York.
The IntetItgeneer says that none of the New
York Soft district conventions have en-.
dorsed the acquiescencs Gn the Nebraska
bill) resolution of the Soft State Convention
and quotes the Albany Argus, ultra Hard and
anti Administration, to prove the fact. 1t is
very clear to our mind, that the Iateli,esuc
ID making mistake in endorsing what the
Argus says in this connec ion; inasmuch "a
that journal has VIGOROUSLY altogether repu.

it says Of Sc Sefts''

est TO suspend the passage OF bill whose
merits cannot secure the approval OF two
thirds OF the Senate and House OF Repre-
sentatiyes until the judgment OF the people
can be obtained thereon, and which has
saved the American people from the cor
rnpt and tyrannical domination OF the
Bank Of the United States, and from
corrupting system of general internal I'M
proyements.
VIII. Resoived, That the Democratic
party will faithfully abide by and uphold
the principles laid down in the Kentucky
and Virginia resolutions Of 1898, and in
the report Of Mr.. Madison to the Virginia
Legislature in 1899; that it adopts those
principles as constituting one of the main
foundations of its political creed, and is
resolved to carry them out in their obvious
meaning and import.
TX. Resolued, That the war with Mex
leo, upon all the principles Of patriotism
and the laws Of nations, was just and
necessary war on onr part, in which every
American citizen should have shown him
self on the side Of his country, and neither
morally nor physically, by word or deed,
have given "aid and comfort to the
enemy"
x. Resolued That we rejoice at the res
toration Of friendly relations with our sister
Republic Of Mexico, and earnestly desire for
her all the blessings and prosperity which
we enjoy under republican institutions;
and we congratulate the American people
upon the results of that war, which have
so maniiestly justified the policy and con-
duct Of the Democratic party, and insured
to the United States ssindemnity for the
past and security for the future"
XII. ResolDed, That, in view of the con-
dition Of popular institutions in the Old
World, high and sacred duty is deyolved,
with increased responsibility, upon the
Democratic party Of this country, as the
party of the people, to uphold and maintain
the rights Of every State, and thereby the
Union of the States, and to sustain and
advance among us constitutional liberty,
by continuing to resist all monopolies and
exclusive legislation for the benefit Of the
few at the expense Of the many, and by q
vigilant and constant adherence to those
principles and compromises of the Com
stitution which are broad enough and
strong enough to embrace and uphold the
Union as it was, the Union as it is, and
the Union as il shall be, in the full expan-
sion Of the energies and capacity of this
great and progressive people.
