sRrBAT MORNING, APRIL 2.th. 1850.
Charleston Convention.


TAts body assembled in Charleston on
Monday last, and probably at the date of
this writing the unwashed groundlings are
making themselves heerse with hoorahs for
the victorious nominee, and numberless ne
groes, it may be, from behind cotton bales
look on in astonishment not having the
CLEAN of an idea what all the noise is about.
Perhaps the excitement, like that in a camp
meeting, may be infectious, and these self
same negroes without knowing why may
jeiR in the jubilee. While all this sound
and fury is going on in the Palmetto State,
We are keeping wonderfully quiet here-as
quiet at least as might be expected under
the circumstances. We, Administration
men, eonteAt ourselves as best we may.
making professions of unalterab'e c fealty to
the party, and if ever caught discussing
politics, We are found to confne ourselves
TO general principles, with an extra oath
now and then against the Black Republi-
cans. The fact is we rather fear Douglas is
nominated, and would rather be in trans.
ition state, preparatory to any emergency.
We rather prefer to see some other m an
nominated, but we can manage to worry
the nomination of Douglas down if obliged
to- But, like the man who ate crow sea-
soned with Scotch snuff, on bet, we can
eat crow, but we'll be derned if we banker
after it. We, Douglas men, however, dc
not feel as easy as we might. Having once
stuck out for principle how are we going to
support an Administration nominee whose
course, we thfnkY has been outrageously in
violation of principle and decency. There's
The rub. The name of the party is dear
one, and we are more than half inclined TO
initiate the boy who clung to a jack knife
in remembrance of the donor, his grand
mother, till it had three new blades and as
many new handles. We know a rose by
another name is just as sweet. Principle:
are principles, and right is right wherever
seen. Still, old associations almost per.
suade us to cherish the form without the
substance. The Democratic party is broker
in pieces, but
You may shatter the vase if you will,
The scent of the thing remains round it still,
and within smelling distance of the ruin.
we had little rather remain if it would
make no difference. Our better judgment
pronounces our prejuJices foolish-we re.
solve to tear away from them and submit
to the dictates of reason. But man is weak
We resolve and re-resolve and still remair
the same"
Thus the two wings of the Democrac,
await the result from Charleston in doub
and dread. few days and anxiety viii
reach the utmost tension, and when tn,
great news arrives it will be relief to ever
che mos: disappointed.

Ee~ The editor of the Bulletin has paid the
mines at Washoc a visit. lie reports the re-
sources of the new mining region such as des-
tined to astonish the world. The mineral wealth
of Western Utah he thinks marvellous. Yet, he
advises small capitalists to invest with caution,
as the country is infested with sharpers, and be-
cause there is an abundance of ore looking as
if rich in silver which contains nothing but the
baser metals. The large prices paid for some
claims are but small fraction of their value if
putcd sales al large prices are never made for
near the reported sums. The Bulletin editor saw
ore worth as high as $3o,OO0 ton.

A TouGH SToRY.-In a recent lecture upon
his experience in Arctic life DIR. Rae said On
the journey saw very curious instance of the
sagacity of the Arctic fox. Conscious that |
was aiming at him, he tucked his tail uTder his
legs cooked up his ears, and endeavored to look
as much like a bear possible (which is an an
imal comparatively worthless). Another fact OF
this kind occurred to me while being detained at
particular place, where our favorite amusement
was trapping wild ANIMALS. Our mode OF doing
this was with spring gun connected with a
bait, whic b, when touched produced the explo-
sion. One instance showed us that fox, either
from observation of a companions fate, or from
hard-earned experience, had gone up TO the gun,
bit off the cord connected with the bait, and the
danger being thus averted, went and ate the
meat in undsturbed comfort And it is a com
mon occurrence for the fox to make tresch up
to the bait, seize It, and permit the charge tc
pass over his head.

An ACT FOR THE RELIEF OF G.. W. WHIT
MAN.--We notice in the report of the Sen
ate's proceedings of Tuesday, that Senator
Chase had introduced a bill for the relief
of Col. Whitman ex-Controller of State.
We presume the design of the bill is to re-
fund to the Colonel the expenses incurred by
him in the trial for impeachment in 1851
As the Controller at that time was honora-
bly, acquitted BY the Senate, and pronounced
cause, he can present better claim upon
the favorable consideration of the Legisls-
ture than hundreds who have obtained re-
lief at the same source

THAT S50,009 BrLL--The Grass Valley Ma
tonal eombats the $50 900 bill for the benefit of
the Piacerville route manfully. We agree with
our neighbor in pronouncing the scheme one of
plunder and injustice to the other portions of the
State But we dissent from the sentiment con-
tanned in the article in last weeks National as
follows" Let $500 be appropriated to each
of the routes, and we will not grumble." As
well wishers of the State we would grumble if an
appropriation were made for any or all of the
routes. The financial condition of the State
Will not allow the appropriation of dollar. If
roads are needed private enterprise will build
them- The State has no need of bankrupting
herself for the benefit Of mountain passes, and
especially where fasortism is designed.

"WoRsE TRAN THE WItNoT PROyIso."-The
mean and damnable doctrines of Squatter Sow
ercignty has now but few advocates. A dogma
that tolerates the absurdity of permitting few
Abolition vagabonds and thieves to exclude the
property of the slave owner from territory won
by the common blood and treasure of the nation.
is so monstrous and revolving that the American
people are tBrning from it with unspeakable
loathing and disgust. An ardent admiration of
Stephen A. Douglas. and a confidence in his pat
riotism and craftsmanship, caused many to
praise and glorify his name, while he was hold
ing to their unsuspicous lips the deadly poison.
distilled in heart surchaTged with all that is
despicable. This misplaced confidence in Doug
lag, together with his specious sophistry, induced
many good men to look with forbearance on his
absurd vagary. But they consider it like
che veil of the terrible Mokannah, bright and
glatcrng. and fascinating. but hiding beneath
its treacherous folds the hdeous features Of a
fend. For thirteen years the Democracy have
beer warning upon the Vilmot proviso, and
having strangled that iniquitous monster, a
measure still more odious must not be substituted
in its stead.
There is not the toss of eepper's difference
between the Wilmot Proviso and Squatter Sow
ereignty, for by the former the South was TO be
kept out OF the territorial domain by direct Con-
gressional interference; by the latter the same
end is to be reached quite effectually by indi-
rect or territorial action or non-action may
be most convenient, or as the exigencies of each
case may demand. By the one, we are to be
fhrottled snd robbed-by the other, chloroformed
and swindled. OF the two methods we prefer the
former.-Memph's AraIanche.

tune on many occasions when listening to
plays and discourses during the last year,
to be thrown in close proximity to indifid-

their sense of the rights of others is want

conspicuous and nuisances, by talking and
buzzing in public halls when others about
