The Wings of Washington county, in their
Convention, adopted the following resolutions
WHEREAS, it is the time-honored custom OF
the Whig party to declare its principles as Of
ten as suitable occasions are offered. There
| fore,
l. ResoiceI, That as distinctive feature in
oar political creed we place our trus! in the
virtue, the intelligence, 1.-The patriotism and
discriminating justice Of the American people.
2. Resoieed, That we reiteTate and re-aiiirm
| the Old Whig doctrine on the subject of the
Tariff. tO-Wit that IN the imposition Of duties
on foreign imports it is the duty of the Gov
erHment to discriminate so to afford ade-
qUate and complete protection to such Auleri-
can manufactures rs come into destructive
competition with foreign articles Of the same
kind.
ResoLred. That the Government ought to be
deprived of the proceeds Of the public lands /;
that a Tariff discriminating as above should
be sufficiently high 10 meet the demands
against the treasury Tor the national expenses;
and that the said proceeds should be distribu-
ted among the people of The States for school
and similar purposes.
Resoiced, That we are ia favor of wise and
judiciOus system OF internal Improvements by
the United States, separate and apart from
State or Federal corporations, for the pFOtec-
tion Of life and commerce on our rivers and
harborS.
RcsoIrsd; That the late outrages perpetrated
on lhe lFGt citIIehS oi AtASGS1 bg ih afuieu
PTo-Sieaery mob from Missouri, calls for the
deep execration Of the American people and
the course of the President Of the United
States in not protecting the people Of that
Territory against the armed bulIies of Sena-
tor Atchson. shows that he is unfit to be the
Executive of free People, and merits the
condemnation Of all true friends Of the Consti-
tuition.
Resolred, That the Repeal Of the Missouri
Compromise, was most shameful violation of
the Plightst f0itb Of the nation; and citi-
zens of Free State, We hereby pledge our
selves to work lawfully but untiringly for its
restoration.

thousand. including forty officers.
Ths London Times does not profess to give the
particulars of the battle, but says the loss is be-
lieved to be greater than any previous action.
Many officers distinguished for their galIantry

French lost two general officers, and vast numbers
of men in all branches ofthe service

one OF the editors OF the National Temper
2nce Organ, Cincinnati, has visited Portland,
Maine, and seen for himself some of the ssrui-
nous consequences Of the Maine Law. These
he describes so graphically that we viii let
him speak for himself:
g Among the most eloquent things we saw,
were the ruins OF several diStilleries. 4 few
years ago. they fiourished the ruins of do
mestic peace and happiness ;-noW. the fami-
ly smiles DER their leyelcd and delapidated
remains Let those who doubt the efficiency
Of the Maine Law, go there and see these rel
les of past barbarism let them see old yats
and walls crumbe into dust leaving no trace
of the dark spot where misery and death were
brewed for the human family and then let
them be forever silent as TO the operation Of
that law.
We had several friends, who, to satisfy their
curiosity, went around into every hole and
corner OF the city, and endeavored by every
crafty means, to obtain liquor, but were una
bic to succeed in a single instance. This, we
thought, was pretty conclusive. We fell into
conversation with gentleman who had been
an ardent opposer Of the law at the start, and
he took walk with us up into a part of the
city which is settled exclusively by lrish.--
lie said before the law passed, that it was
collection of miserable hovels, occupied By
pitiful set Of families; but now, they are very
neat and comfortable dwellings,; and the ia
habitants are frugal industrious and peaceable.
This change, he said, could be attributed to
no other cause than the Maine Law. Before,
they spent their money for whiskey now,
they save it for the ncceSsaries and comforts
Of life. With all the liquor party, we think,
in instance have they been successful in
eludiBg the vigilence Of the law.

New WHEAr ALREADY Cou1NG TO THIS
MARKET.-The Cincinnati Gazette Of June 26,
says:-A lot of new wheat was received to-
day from Memphis, and offered in our market
at 81 80, and purchaser not being foundSit
was re-shipVod to Pittsburg. The impression
seems to be that if the crop is safely secured,
prices viii recede to 81, but they will touch
at several points before reaching that figure.
a few days of seasonable sunshine would pre-
pare the wheat Tor the sickle in this section
In Southern Indiana, large portion OF the
crops has already been secured. The Finccn-
nes Ggectie informs US that the wheat crop in
that vicinity is one Of the best, if not the best
ever raised, and the breadth Of land one-third
greater than ever before. The corn was quite
small for the period Of the season, but the
fields were clean, and the plants of remarka-
bly, good color. s correspondent writing from
Randolph county, md, under date of yester-
day, ssy S The wheat looks well and if the rust
does not strike it there viii be full crop
Oats, Corn and Grass, were doing well, altho'
