| cash new Democratic administration as it
cones in. A vigorous support to him through
out the canvass, such as We indicate above,
and q manly attitude after victory shall have
crowned their exertions, is surely the path of
duty for all States Rights men. If that policy
be pursued by our friends, one and all, it can
not fail to lead to the desired results. We
mean, to Mr.. Buchanan's election; and, then,
to the formation of his administr alton upon
the principle Of equal and exact justice to all
sections of the Democratic party, and to the
discharge oft This administr atoms functions
upon the principles which cannot be abandoned
by Democratic national administration, with
out the complete disbandment of the present
Democratic party, and the entire overthrow Of
any faction or fraction that may essay to con-
tinue to wear its name as cover under which
really to set at defiance in its acts, the doc
trines which alone render the Democratic
party organization valuable to the public in
terest; as, without rigid adherence to them
(the Democracy being in power) more injurious
effects would result to the country's future,
than from the policy of a national administra-
ton elected to carry out lstitudinarian ideas
Of the rights and duties of the General Govern
ment.
We intend, therefore, to do our best to aid
the cause of Mr.. Buchanan; and trust and be-
ieve that every States Rights man, from Ma.
son and Dixon's line to the western boun-
dairy Of Texas, will also thus aid in the good
work of perpetuating in the government the
principles Of the strict constructionists and
States Rights party.
The Wagon Road.-The resolution adopted
by the Cincinnati Convention, urging the
prompt construction of safe means of over
land communication with California and the
Pacifc-side Territories, has no reference what
ever to the Pacific railroad; but t, the military
or ordinary wagon road so earnestly and i'm
ploringly prayed for from California. This
view of it is in strict keeping with the decla-
ration of the Hon. Mr.. Inge in urging it on
the Convention. Though hearty advocate
for at once granting the petition, we saw no
propriety whatever in the Conventions adop-
ton Of the resolution, even as simple express
sion of the opinion on the subject entertained
by the gentlemen composing the Convention
No other domestic question is just now of great.
er Importance. The problem of the contin-
uance of political connection between the
States Of the Atlantic and gulf slopes and our
Pacific possessions, hinges on the fate of this
proposition in great measure, as we have
repeatedly taken occasion to explain of late.
No one questions the constitutional right of the
Government to open such q road for military
purposes; nor can any well-informed person
doubt that the military exigencies of the Gov.
eminent require its prompt completion-the
mere clearing away the growth from a wagon
track, laying down few causeways, grading
bill and hollow here and there, DC. The ex-
pense will be mere bagatelle; hardly greater
than the cost Of the session of Congress for the
month the body may possibly take it into its
head to discuss it, now that the Democratic
National Convention have formally taken up
the subject.
The Delegates, &c.-Some three or four
hundred persons from distance, who at.
tended the recent convention at Cincinnati.
are now in Washington, having arrived with.
in the last twenty-four hours Many from
the South have extended their trip to Niagara,
and may be expected to return home, via
Washington, shortly. Many, again, remained
day or two in Cincinnati, after the conven-
ton adjourned, to cohoodle.
Not few pious souls among them have al
ready set out on pilgrimage to Wheatland,
where they are destined to meet the blandest
reception conceivable from the polished gen
tleman who presides over its Inequalities. We
have no idea, however, that the solicitous pa
triots who have gone thither to lay anchors
to windward, will make more by their trip
than accrued to moro or less gentlemen at
Cincinnati who are supposed to have shaped
their course upon the Presidential question
with reference to the chances for the Vice
Presidential nomination.
The ways at Cincinnati amused themselves
not a little in laughing at what they conceived
to be efforts of the friends Of more or less as
pirants to make Vice Presidential capital for
their respective favorites earning, all of them.
in return for their labors, only fishermen
luck.
