THE EXPEDITION OF Cow. PAGE
Buenos Ayres papers of the 3Oth Of
March have been received. In regard
TO the exploring expedition under
Com. Page we have the following:
The American steamer Alpha left
on the 23d Of November last, under
the command of Capt. Page, to ex-
plore the river Bermejo, and arrived
back on the 9th inst, at the port Of
Humaita, at II ar.M. She has rs.
cended to a distance of thirty leagues
below Oran, but did not reach that
province even by land. The expedi-
tion assembled and returned without
further incident than being shot at
with arrows by a tribe Of Indians,
about one hundred leagues below the
Esquina Grande, who were dispersed
by few musket shots. She brought
word Of the approach of the steamer
Bermejo, which was left by the Al
pha about one hundred leagues in the
interior, not being able to accompany
her. The commander Of this vessel
asked permission to proceed immedi-
ately, which was granted.
The Metacomet has been added to
the American exploring expedition as
hospital or store-ship.

The MEETING AT ACADEMY HALL.

IHE MEETING AT ACADEMY HALL
Attention ia directed to the pro-
ceedings, Of the meeting at Acad-
emy Hall. If it is a principle, in
democratic faith that the majority
shall rule; then the series Of four
resolutions adopted by this meet
ing, are democratic, to say the least.
IL is a very poor rule that does not
work both ways, and to show that
the rule does not which induced
the Louisiana delegates 10 come
home reference to the figures at
the voting for a candidate for Pres.
ident is all necessary. Do they
not clearly show, that Mr.. Douglas
was the strongest man there Has
not the rule governing such bodies
heretofore been, to withdraw, the
lowest candidate, until choice
could be made1 This is very clear.
Then why did small segment of
the meeting, beaded by Mr.. Yam
cy (who ought to be in a straight
jacket) break up the affair 7 Are
we not forced to the conclusion that
they-thc minority, had resolved
among themselves to defeat the
best man among them-viz Ste
phen A. Douglas, who has the NOR
al courage to stand on the platform,
they all helped to make few brief
years ago, to humbug the people
with ? This is the Complexion
which the affair wears to our mind.
DO not call the gentlemen who have
been passing the series of four re s.
olutions bolters and traitors to
the great democratic party They
have turned tho tables on you
gents (; they may have becn--and
no doubt were, boilers from the
State Convention before the last,
and they may have gone there with
malice pre- penss to break it up in a
row ; but now, in this National af-
fair you are placed exactly where
they were. You should have some
sympathy for on another-make char
liable concessions--shake hands
save the Union again, and vote
for some man in favor of creating

not Offices enough to 60 round, and

CONSCIENTIOUS ScRuPLEs."-
We learn from the Savannah papers
that considerable difficulty was en-
countered in empanueling jury to
try the several slave trade offenders
now before the u. S. Circuit Court
at that city. The District Attorney
asked and was allowed permission in
addition to the usual questions, to
ask the talesmen whether or not they
were opposed to capital punishment
in such cases, nearly all answered 10
the Affirmative. Finally, however, a
sufficient number was found willing
so carry out law as it stands, leaving
its violators TO take the consequence
Of its transgression.
