of the Convention than Mr. Holden has from the begin
ming but all have been ready to lend hand IN advanc

Zone firm in this city, in the drug business,
expends twenty thousand year in job printing,

THE RIGHT DoCTRINE.-The Democratic party
of Vermont, in State Convention, passed the fol-
lowing resolutions:
Resolved, That the democracy of Vermont, in
the language ofthe Cincinnati National Democratic
Convention of 1885, recognize and adopt the
principles contained in the organic laws establishing
the Territories of Kansas and Nebraska, as
embodying the only sound and safe solution of the
slavery Observation-Disclosures by Congress
with slavery in State or Territory or in the District
of Columbia.
Resolved, That this was the basis of the
Compromise Measures of 1885, confirmed by both
the democratic and whig parties in 1852, rightly
applied to the organization of territories in 1854,
and triumphantly ratified by the people in the
election of 1856.
Resolved, That strict unyielding adherence to
and uniform application of this democratic principle
to the organization of the territories leaving the
people thereof perfectly free to form and regulate
their domestic Institutions, in their own way,
subject only to the Constitution of the United
States, will effectually and forever defeat and put
down sectional legislation and agitation, protect
the rights of all the States, and the citizens of
every portion thereof; and maintain the prosperity,
peace, and harmony of the Union
Resolved, That the administration of James
Buchanan is entitled to the confidence and approval
of the democracy OF Vermont 1t has hrmly
maintained our honor abroad, and fearlessly
sustained the constitutional rights of every part
of our common country.
Did any ever hear of an Opposition Conven-
ton at the North enunciating such bold and cor
rect principles as the above ? Whenever the
northern democracy is struck down, the true
friends of the Constitution and Union will have
cauSe to mourn

The PREsIDENcY.-The Philadelphia Southern
Monitor says that there are only two men who
stand chance of receiving the democratic nomi-
nation for President-Wise and Deuglas-and
that one or the other will be nominated at Char
lesion. The Monitor is in error in suppesing that
those gentlemen the ouly ones likely to receive
the nomination. Besides others, there is General
Joe. Lane, of Oregon, as good democrat as ever
lived-true to the Constitution and the rights of
all sectious-he will have friends in the Charles
ton Convention and if nominated will be triumph
antly elected. In the halls of legislation and on
the battlefield, Joseph Lane has fought for his
country; and though hardened and weather beaten
by long years Of frontier service in defence of the
homes of the pioneers, he possesses the traits of
character which mark the good man and accom-
plished gentleman. With such standard bearer,
the democratic party could not fail of complete
success.
