HON. GEO. BLIss.

We publish this week the speech Of
Illus. GEO. bliss, Of this State, on the
Nebraska question. Mr.. B s democracy is
be-, ond all question. lie is a simon pure
article Of a Democrat. We ask the atlen.
,ioa Of our readers to this speech. Let
no man refuse or neglect 10 read 1t. 1t is
able and will carry conviction TO all who
read il. Judge Bliss, we ltarr, has been
compelled, on account Of his health 10
leave Washington.
We have occupied considerable space in
our paper on this matter, so that our readers
might know who has re-agi'a'ed this
Il .ery question. Tie Democratic Bal
unore convention that nominated Presl'
den, PIERCE. declared in The Following
Resolution, the question settled:
"Resoiued, Tha, the Democratic party
will resist all attempts a, renewing, in Con
gress or out Of il, the agitation of the
slavery question, under whatever shape
or color The attempt may be made
Who says this is not The true position oil
our par,yl It is the last decl red sentiment
of The Democratic party, agreed TO by the
Nor,h and Sou,b but a few years ago.
We will stick to this plank Of the Balli-
more platform until the next National
Convention.

THE NEWS.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer states by
authority. that Gov. WooD will leave VAL
paraisO about the Is, Of May. His Con.
Sulship proves to be worth only five thou.
sand dollars instead of thirty ihousand.-
There is no doubt but that il has been
worth more than i, is at present. The
trade to tina, por, has greatly diminished
within u few years. l, is supposed by
many that he will not return.

on the 2lst ult. by the Treasurer Of Lake
County, TO the tune ofslS,O26 s8-beiug

from the Bank for 1882 and 1853. This
seems to be just the thing 10 reach chartered
institutions. The Democrats Of North
Carolina have nominated Mr.. BRAoo as
their candidate for Governor. He is a
relative of The gallant captain Of"a little
more grape celebrity, and of course will
pitch into Whiggery right and left. Six
hundred and six c~ouvicts are in the Ohio
Penitentiary at the present time, with a
a fair prospect-if all "devils get their
due"-of some Of the off Gals connected
herewith, "wheelIng into The ranks."-

information from our Minister, Mr.. Blu.

passed an &C, throwing open the coasting
trade Of England free to all nations.
Recent accounts confirm the belief, that
the United States will be again. visited

fifty deaths during the passage, supposed

State, after doing about the usual amount
of business, has adjourned.
