The following resolution was adopted by
Democratic Convention held in Herkimer
county, New York, on Saturday last
Resolved, That while we are in favor OF the
maintenance of all the compromises OF the Con
stituton, and the reserved rights Of the States,
declare our unguuti ed hostility TO the extension Of
slavery into any free Territory Of the United
States. That the late invasion of Kansas Terri
tory by citizens of Missouri with view to pro-
mote the election Of pro.sayery Legislature, was
a manifestation OF insolence on the part Of the
Slavocratic power, and an outrage upon the rights
of the bona fde settlers which deserves the indig.
nant reke of every honest citizen in the land, and
demands from the general government the inter.
position of all its constitutional power TO redress
past grievances, and suppress future volence-that
while we approve of the course pursued by Frank.
lin Pierce in cond icting our foreign relations, and
also the economy evinced in administering the
financial affairs of the government we feel con-
strained by sense of duty to condemn him for
giving his sanction to the Kansas-N Nebraska bill,
which involved the violation OF a sacred compact
aud gross breach of faith on the part Of the
South, and opened anew the agitation ofthe slavery
question"
1t will be seen that the course of the repre-
sentative in that Congressional district is en-
dorsed and approved, Mr.. Spinner votes for
Mr. Banks.
We invite the attention Of our readers to
this resolution, and, when read in connexion
with the following resolution, which was
adopted by an administration convention held
at Middleport, Iroquois county, Illinois, viz;
" Resolved, That the Democratic party is not
only opposed to the further extension of slavery,
but are now legislating against It's extension"
1t will serve to define the position of the
Northern Democracy

Pennsylvania senator.

Ex-Governor Bigler has been nominated by
the Democratic caucus, for Senator from Penn
sylvania. Mr.. Clancy Jones has not been re-
warded for his Nebraska staunchness. There
is difference between the position of Bigler
anu Jones on this question, and If we are not
mistaken, the former endeavored in the guber-
material canvass to defend the bill, on the
ground that it would make Kansas and Ne
braska free States; and Pennsylvania Democ-
racy, which Mr.. Jones has attempted to prove
to be sound upon the Southern construction Of
the Kansas bill, has selected Bigler over him
(Jones.) What pity it is that Jones will
have to return to the House of Representa-
tives, and there be compelled to define his po-
sition upon the Senatorial question. We wish
him success in his future political enterprises,
and warn him in future to avoid concocting
caucus resolutions for the purpose Of securing
promotion.

SouATrKR SovEREIeNTY.--A Difference among
Democratic Doctors-Mr J. Clancy Jones, says
the Savannah Republicans, who seems to be the
spokesman Of at least portion Of the Democracy
in the House OF Representatives, in the debate of
Friday week, came out boldly against the right Of
a people Of Territory, SO long as it remains a
Territory, 10 exclude or abolish slavery.
Now, Gen. Cass, and Mr.. Cobb of Georgia, are

What is to be done? How is this radical differ
ence Of opinion among the faithful TO be settled
We would be glad to hear from those papers IN
