SEPTEMBER VICTORIES.

We brought to mind, a few days ago, the many
victories which in the war of 1872 gave renown to
the American arms and rendered September a IA
nous month These crowded so thickly upon the
memory as to make forgetful of more recent
achievements. But Mexico also presents its me-
MORALS The reader of the present day will recol-
lect Contreras and Churubusco, which made memo
rabe the month of August, 1S47. In September
of the same year followed the victories of Molina
del Rey and Chaputepec, and on the l4th Gen.
SCOTT planted his victorious standards in the CAPT.
tai Of Mexico. This event the Commander-in-C Chief
announced by General Order, in which he called
upon his brethren in arms to return, both in public
and private worship, thanks and gratitude to God
for the glorious and signal triumphs which they had
achieved for their country beginning with the 10th
of August and ending on the 18th of September
These victories were, however, dearly bought
Three thousand men were lost from the time Gen.
SCOTT left Puebla until he entered the city of
Mexico. The Mexican loss was in much greater
proportion. --

THE DEMOCRACY IN MICHIGAN.

Some of the leading Democrats in Michigan have
issued circular to the party in that State, calling
upon them TO oppose the introduction Of the Nebraska
6tU into their creed as party test. The circular
declares the bill to be violation of the Baltimore
platform Of 1852, and therefore to have no claim
to support as a party measure, while its adoption
would divide the party and result in defeat The
writers consider it sectional and dsorganizing, and
call upon the party to oppose it. as follows:
"And we respectfully submit that every consideration
both iaprncpe and policy, appeals to to stand firm
ly against the bill party test. 1t
is measure which is strongly disapproved of by large
portion Of the Democracy of the nation Unwisey in
troduced, it has already done infinite mischief and if
made party test will inevitably divide the Democratic
party and let loose storm Of the widest agitation
The circular says nothing of the merits of the
bill in itself, but speaks only of its introduction
into the party creed But it is useless to attempt
to ignore the bill in this way Its opponents will
not certainly be willing to support party who are
thus non-committal on so important question
Those who not for the cause are against it. The
truth is, those Democrats who desire to preserve
the nationality of the party in bad situation
They cannot take decided ground without offending
one section of the Union or the other, and though
they would gladly take neither, they know that
they would be tramped on by both. I" Its all
muddle" with them. Between the "Adamantine"
rocks of Scylla on the one hand and the C.aryJ-
dean whirlpool of the "Sosts" on the other they
can hardly escape shipwreck. York Courier

A PLANK LOOSE

It will be recollected that the Boston "Post :"
recently rebuked some of its neighboring prints for
asserting that the Democratic State Committee of
Massachusetts was not itself sound and reliable
that it had failed to endorse the Administration,
and therefore had no claims to speak for the Ma
tional Democracy. The "Post" insisted that the
" endorsement was unanimous" and promised to
produce the documents. The resolutions were pro-
duced, but with the reluctant admission that there
were some few negatives. Now, as this is some
thing of family quarrel" we perhaps have no
right to interfere, but as impartial journalists we
feel bound to let the Chairman of the State Com
mittee be heard through our columns. Here is his
testimony:
GRoroN, SEPTEMBER 9, 1854.
To The Editor, Of the Palladium:
Sir: Within. the last few days have received letters
from Democrats residing in different parts of the State
making inquiries with regard to the resolution said to
have been passed by the Democratic State Committee at
their meeting in Boston the Esd ultimo AS off,
ca account Of the action of the committee published
by its officers, and statement made by correspon
dent Of the Boston Post in its issue of September h
published the Of the officers of the committee
is not in all respects correct have deemed your columns
fit place for truthful statement Of the action Of the
committee upon the resolution ..,- a.
The resolution endorsing the Administration its acts
and measures was presented by Mr.. Dresser read
by the chairman Of the committee who called upon those
In favor OF the resolution to hold up their hands While
some members were thus voting afrmatiyely, Mr.. Ores
called for the yeas and nays This interrupted the
voting and was the occasion of considerable confusion
Some members DESTROYS Of leaving in the afternoon trains
oectng to the calling Of the yeas and nays account
Of time Mr. Dresser withdrew his motion probably his
motion for the yeas and nays; but the chairman hr.
Hobsrt evidently understood him to withdraw the
ution as no vote taken aferward, and gentle
men who were DESTROYS Of voting against the resolution
had no opportunity to DO So
make this statement in justice to those gentlemen Of
The committee who do not feel though they could
iorse oil the acts and measures Of the Administration
md feel themselves aggreved by the published statement
hat the vote in favor of the resolution unanimous
Very truly yours,
DANIEL NEEDHAM,
Chairman Democratic State Committee |
