Caucus Resolutions.
BALDWIN, J.
TERRY, G. j.

The Democrats of the Assembly who adhere
to the regular organization, met in caucus and
passed resolutions approving the old-fashionc
Democratic mode of settling personal preferen-
ences by friendly caucuses. They resolved to
nominate no one for Office who was not sup
porter of the Administration, and unpledged to
support any man or clique for the future They
declare that,
-''the nomination for Speaker, should not
be considered an expression of preference, by
the Democrats of the Assembly for any prom
inent Democrat nor shall such nomination be
considered as a mark of hostility, on our part
to any Democrat in this State and we deprecate
and utterly condemn any attempt to force a
anan-issue upon ourselves, and, through us, upon
the Democratic party of the State.
In evidence of which, and, in order to prevent
any man or clique claiming victory in the re-
suit of the election of Speaker, they resolved to
have their resolutions published.
The Anti-Lecompton Democrats of the Legis-
lature, in joint convention, also passed resolu-
tions declaring the Cincinnati Platform to be
" the true and only legitimate test of true Ma
tional Democracyn-re-e endorsing the platform
adopted by the Democratic State Convention,
presided over by Humphrey Grifith-reaflirm-
ing that the principles embodied in the Kansas
Nebraska Act lie at the very foundation of De-
as an able and fearless champion of these
principles, and assuring him of their " earnest,
unwavering support"

Post Office Notice.
The Governors Message.

We are now prepared to express our opinion
of Governor Weller's Message, having read it
carefully As a whole, we think it an admira-
bic document. A large majority of its recon-
mendations we endorse right heartily. Others
we oppose to the death-frst last, and all the
time.
Among these latter, we particularly refer to
his suggestion that the Act of April II, 1855
which gives the ninth and tenth classes of IL
censes, and the liquor licenses, to the counties
be repealed, so that the revenue from these
sources may go into the State Treasury The
present Revenue Act, we understand, produces
more than enough revenue to meet the current
expenses Of the State and pay the interest upon
the public debt so that the State is in no urgent
need of the revenue derived from the sources
named. On the other hand, nearly every county
in the State is embarrassed with heavy debt,
andt revenue derived from the ninth and tenth
classes of licenses and the liquor licenses, is of
great Importance to them. Hence we trust the
Act of April II, 1853, will be permitted to re-
main unrepealed.
One Of the very best recommendations made
by the Governor is that in reference to granting
licenses for retailing liquors. If the Governors
suggestions embodied in law, the State
will be greatly benefited thereby-as nearly all
the low groggeries and rum-holes, wherein hun
dreds of men are now being daily poisoned and
robbed, would then be closed.
His recommendation that proper Sunday
Law be passed will also meet the approval of
the people generally.
The remarks of the Governor upon the sub
ject of primary elections viii also be approved
The evils touching the same, which he speaks
of, undoubtedly exist; and the importance of
guarding against these evils no one can doubt
1t is to be regretted, however, that the Governor
has not suggested some feasible mode of pro-
tecting ourselves against the frauds perpetrated
at primary elections. OF course it will not do TO
legalize primary elections. That would destrov
their character as '' family meetings of parties
For the Constitution guarantees to every voter
the right " to vote at al elections which are now
or hereafter may be authorized by law" So
that, if primary elections are legalized, anF Re-
publican may vote for delegate to Democrats
Convention, and race pr-sa Thus, instead of
protecting parties in the right Of holding fam
lily meetings" II wonld utterly destroy that
right

Born SIDEs.-We observe that some few edi-
tors are Growing over the fact that a resolution
congratulating the country upon the Democratic
victory in Illinois, was, after being passed, re-
considered and laid on the table by the late Vir-
ginia Democratic State Convention Now, as
much of a Douglas man we consider ourself
if we had been in that Convention, and the Wise
men had endeavored by that resolution, to make
point against the Hunter men, we too would
have favored the disposition that was made of
ii. The Virginia, Convention if we mistake not
did rot permit the Kansas question, in any de-
gree to interfere with its action. The fight and
the only fght-which commenced months be-
fore and was prosecuted with unwonted bitter
ness-was, to defeat John Letcher for the nom
ination for Governor. That the Virginia Con-
venton did not intend, by any action had by it,
to throw any slight upon the doctrine of popular
sovereignty, is evidenced by the fact that this
body almost unanimously voted to table reso-
luton which recommended Congress to pass
laws protecting slavery in the Territories

FooLIsHNEss.-A man whom much madness
and lack of reading hath made foolish, has
written communication to the Marysville En-
press denuncatory of one Of our U. S. Senators.
He says:
Let the Legislature request him to resign; if
he will not let it repudiate him. declare the seat
vacant, and elect an honest and worthy man to
fill it.
Abiding to this second Daniel, the Express
says:
Democrat is evidently not man given to
much talking, but who, when he does talk,
speaks straight to the point He raises ques-
ton of States rights that has never before been
discussed the power Of State to recall her repre-
sentatire in the U. s. Senate There is plausibili-
ty, as well as originality and bodness in the
proposition 1t is worthy of consideration.
The editor of the Express is man of too much
sense to have written the above seriously. He
ofcourse is familiar with section Sd, article 1st
of the Constitution of the United States, which
fixes the term of Senator at six years and
with section 9Th of the same article, which makes
each house of Congress C the judge of the elec-
tons, returns and qualifications of its own mem
bers." And knowing this and that this "new ques-
ton of States rights that has never before been
discussed" could only have been raised by an
impudent ignoramus, he induges in a little bit of

meant " hard" headl and clear, vigorous brain
