a Convention, under the regular call of
the Democratic organization of the Stato
met not long since for the purpose of nom
mating State Officers. This Convention
as our readers are aware, were nearly all
Douglas men. They passed string of
mIlk-and-water resolutions, re-afIirminp
the Cincinnati Platform, and swearing
anew their allegiance to the Democratic
Party, but declined to worship the punid
corpse of Lecomptonism.
Thereupon the Office e-holdcrs and Ad.

u. .. Senate.

Hon. John p. Hale has been re. elected
to the H.. S. Senate for six years from the
fourth of March next. What a change
has taken place i'll that body since he irst
entered it, some twelve years ago. y pc
peculiar combination of circumstances,
and division Of parties, after great strug-
gle, resulted in his election. There he
stood, alone in his political opinions in
that assemblage Of the Nations supposed
great men. The representative of ideas
and principles, then everywhere pro-
scribed, he found himself the object of the
most intense and persistant social pro
scription. Every appliance possible to be
used with effect was brought TO bear uron
the new and unpopular Senator. The gag
rule was then in full force, and nobly the
New Hampshire Senator bauled for Its
overthrow. Against odds that would have
disheartened almost any other, he main
tanned his position, and saw the principles
for which lie contended, spreading in the
popular mind of the Nation, and with a
faith in the ultimate power Of truth when
pressed on the latent virtue and final in
telligencc ofthe people, that never faltered,
he calmly, but detiantly, met the insulting
overseerism that then held undisputed
sway in that, as in all other departments
of the Government.

parties placed by his side, another, and

War.

We think there has been about enough
bluster and bonn 'ast abouta war with Eng
land. The Administration papers for
months, if they could be believed, have
been rampant for n war with that power.
One who did not understand the philoso-
phy of the thing, would be lead to believe
that war with England was inevitable.
but we beg all such green ones not 10 be
alarmed. There is not the slightest possi-
bic danger. If it were free S tate men in
Kansas, or the Mormons in Utah. or even
Mexico, we might have fight, but not
with England.
Seward, and Wilson, and Burlingame,
etleciually punctured that gas-bag. There
was an nmazing fertility Of genius in the
idea Of the Administration getting up a
war. How patriotic And surely the
Republican members Of Congress would
oppose the war; SO this glorious Demo
cratic Administration a would become more
glorious by advocating the measure, and
changing its defeat on the wicked, cow
ardly Republicans. How the leaders
laughed in their sleeves al the certain sue
cess of the maneuver. Hence the bali
opened, and President, and Cabinet, and
Senators, and Representatives, and Or
gans, with one united burst Of furious in.
dignation, clamored for an instant war with
Enylund.
y bill was introduced into the Senate
the President with cxtraordi
na'y powers, with the right to employ
$4,000 troops and use all the money in
the Treasury, aud when that was none to
borrow more. The cllivaIro:s Southern and
his humble Northern imiators, let off their
war speeches, and iancying themselves al !

waited to see the R4publicans plead for
peace and moderation. Imagine, if you |

wind out of their sails-eut uL ler them
n short, gave such furious blasts on their
war trumpets, that Democracy stood !
at their own gane--and. of !
;Ourse, will have no alternative but TO back
1uare down! This, everybody knew
hey would do. But having gone up like
rocket, the Republicans determined they
hould come down like stick.
They remembered the "ffty- four forty

her Cameron and Ohio her Wade to swell
the Republicans ranks. Michigan, the
home of Gen. Cass. has rcpudialed her old
dynasty. and has honored herself in her
Republican Senators. Iowa and Wiscon-
sin have redeemed themselves from the
stigma that 50 long rested on them, by
reason of the sllbserviency of their dough
laced Senators. Illinois has her Trum
bull, and will have her Lincoln as soon rs
she can hold an election.
Thus John p. Hale returns to the Sen
ate TO find himself, instead of alone and os-
trarlsed, in The company OF lwenly-three
compeers, who embody large share OF
the talent, and clearly repres ent the pre-
dominant and growing sentiment of the
people of the Nation.
There is moral certainty that before
his present term expires, the remaining
dough-fnces from the free States will be
etlectualIy weeded out Of that body, and
Republicans sent from one, at least, if no,
more oil The present slave States.
This must be a cheering prospect TO Mr..
Hale, and IS lesson full of instruction to
all How it ought to cheer the hearts and
inspire The energies of those who are bat
ting for the right, when the right is un-
popular. The great heart of humanity
beats III unison with truth and freedom.
1t may be prevented for time, but will,
with the certainty of fate, finally bury in
oblivion those who have tece we'd and be-
trayed lhcm. 1t ought to be a warning to
all dough-fnces. Such revolution never
goes backward. Where are those, who,
believing the reign of prejudice to be etcr
nal, made it their only appeal to the peo-
pie? Where those Of heirclass, who still
pollute the councils of the nation with hei,
presence, will soon be-in
state of retiracy. And so mote it be.

Ss1iII Milk.

! OF all the excilements of this biohlv
eXcltable age, nothing has created so in
tense feeling in all our principal cities
as the late developments brought to lirht
by Investigations into the operations of the
miIk-men. The revelations are too intol-
erably disgusting for publication. Stables,
siaIlInS from twenty to three hundred
COWS each, have been visited by commit
tees, and so far as men, not accustomed
to the namcless filth, could penesrate
t tlcir loalhsome recesscs, have been ey-
pIored and described.
Cows are taken into them from tbe
country, and from their entrance into these
"cattle heIs' until they die, arc fed Oh
swiil from the stiI-houses. All wa:rr and
other food is denied them until starvation
forces them to drink the poisonous abomi-
nation. The flesh of the animals become
oloated, and substance coUea milk is
produced in great profusion. The COWS
soon become diseased, their teeth fall ont
their tails rot off, and the whole animal
l. transformed into Il mass of ulcerous and
putrld corruption. The COWS, i'll this con
dition, ale milked as long as they are
able to stand; and when no longer able to
stand, are swung in pulies, until about to
die, when they are slaughtered, and their
carcasses sold to the people for Geet.
The descriptions of the filth Of the Sta
bIes-the stencil arising therefrom-the
utter beastiality of the men who attend
them and prepare the milk for market, ex-
ceeds all conception.
Psychologists, chemist its, physicians, and !
boards of health are giving the subject a
thorough investigation. The astounding
act is being disclosed, that about one
,hird of all the children born in Now York !
lie, and, as now appears, as ef1ectually
Ailied by this poisoned swill- milk as if fed
IN arsenic.
1t is to be hoped that the excitement
will not be permitted to die out until an
ileclual remedy is found for the crying
vii. Desperate, indeed, must be the
ovt Of gain, when, for increased profit, in
rade, the food Of the unsuspectiug mul-
itude is poisoned, and what they pur-
hase as nourishment, sweeps them into
grave with the power Of pestilence.
Until such Internal practices are made
rimInal by law, and the law faithfully
Xecuted, the lives of thousands will be
nnually sacrificed, and the seeds of lin
ering diseases implanted in others that
will render life burden.
