nois, is the first choice of the Democratic party

cinnati, in 1856; that we acquiesce in the bred
Scott decision, and that we are opposed to all
attempts to reopen the African slave trade as
disgraceful to the age and country.
RESOLVED, That under the Constitution, the
citizens of one State cannot interfere with the
domestic institutions of another State. and
that any such interference is an attack upon
the peace, safety and dignity of every State in
the Union, and that we denounce with indigna-
ton and adherence, not only the reasonable
participations in the recent invasion of the soil
of Virginia, at Harper's Ferry, but all others
who, by sustaining, excusing. or palliating the
offence, aid and comfort Instruction and sedi-
ton.
Col. ROBERTSON was happy to be assured
that the majority of this Convention were
warm friends of STEHHEN A. DOUGLAS ;
there were two DOUGLAS parties in the Con.
vention, but there was but one DOUGLAS
party among the people and to this party
the speaker belonged. There were some Doua-
LAS men here who wanted to go it tenderly.
The speaker represented the people-not
politicians, and the people were earnest in

Mr.. Cox, of Nicollet, offered resolution
providing that State Central Committee

eusued. Cries of "adjourn," " table the
resolution" " it's a frebrand," &C., were
heard above the din of many voices.
Gov GERMAN hoped the resolution would
be withdrawn. 1t raised questions which
would destroy the harmony and integrity of
the party. He hoped MIR. WILSON would
withdraw it.
Mr.. WILSON would not withdraw the
resolution. He saw no reason why it
should be opposed. 1t did not endorse Mr..
RIcE's political position, but merely his
devotion to the interests of the State.
Gov. GoRMAN moved the Convention
adjourn out he withdrew his motion to

1t will be observed that Mr.. Crangale still
owes Richmond county, Ga, twenty cents,
if he owed it anything, as Mr., Uriah Slack

to the credit of his account against Messrs.

which the Constitution of our country was
established, all acts, or infammatory APP
peals, which intend or tend to make this
Union less perfect, or tojeOpardize or dis

of the Wabash and Erie Canal to the State,
or any change in the relation of the State to

BeA- The Paris correspondent of the
New York World says /;
1t is said that Austria now considers that
it has been released from its promises in re.
gard to nOn-intervention, since the occupa-
ton of the Roman territory by the King,
and that it will consider itself perfectly JUS
tilted in commencing operations when it
shall find its Italian territory menaced
either directly or indirectly. No declaration
of its intentions or policy will, however, be
probably made until after the conclusion of
the interview between the Gar, the Enper-
or of Austria, aud the Prince Regent Of
Prussia, which it is now said is fixed for the
10th of this month at Warsaw.
What the object Of this meeting is, is
of course profound secret, but that the
union in counsel of the heads of the great
powers of Eastern Europe bodies no good to
the struggling people of the continent is
very evident. The idea of coalition
against France is scarcely seriously believed,
but that the object is i'll general way to en-
deavOr to put an end to the revolutionary
struggles, and to extinguish the revolution
airy fire which threatens to sweep over Flu.
rope, and destroy in its path the despotisms
which bind down the masses, and of which
the Gar Alexander and the Emperor Fran
els Joseph are the great representatives.,
there can be no doubt. What must sooner
or later be the resHlt of snch n determine
ton, such an alliance on the part of these
monarchs, is very evident war which
will probably, before the great battle for
| freedom is ended, bring into the field nearly
the entire armies of Europe.

N. a. Il Chicago Road to Lafayette, and we
are informed by Major l. c. Elston, that the
cars of the Valley road run down and
freight at Charlottesville. BY making the
connection at Attica from Rockville there
will have to be some 50 or 40 miles of road
made, when the connection may be made at
Lafayette by making % or so miles of road,
an item worth notice and then your road
will be in its proper course and will tap as
productive country as can be found in any
State and a county unaccommOdated at
this time by any rail road, and by the by
it will be in this direction for long trunk
of road pointing towards the Lakes and Will
eventually make very direct Eastern road.
But one great object now is to get the
road to this place. How are we to do it ?
1t is but IA miles from Rockville here If
the time is come to move we are ready
whenever the word is given. The farmers
around us begin to feel the necessity of a
railroad to carry off their surplus produce.
They have their farms cleared and fenced and
almost every foot of land producing some
thing; they have their houses and barns
built, AMI now they are ready to take hold
of this enterprise. We have been blessed this
season with an overaverage crop of.w heatand
corn, and are bringing on for market large
crop of pork which will enable US to do lib
orally towards the enterprise. Why should
the road stop at Rockville Why not make
the arrangements forthwith and add anoth-
err short link of only IA miles, and bring i:
! here. AS | animated before we are ready
| so soon as the Directors say the word to
make long pull, strong pull and a pull al
! together, until we hear the sound of the
/ Iron horse neighing around these diggins.
We have the prospect OF an east and west
road running few miles south OF us, which,
if we cannot get the f. & c. road, will be
our next choice. OCCULUs.

ABsTEMIOUs DIET.-Mauy cases of i'll
ness, both in adults and children, may be
readily cured by abstinence from all food
Headaches, disOrdered stomachs, and many
other attacks are caused by violating the
rules of health, and, in consequence, some
parts of the system are overloaded, or some
of the organs are clogged. Omitting one,
two or three meals, ms the case may be.
gives the system a chance to rest and allows
the clOgged organs TO dispose of their bur
dens. The practice of giving drugs to clear
the stomach, though it may afford til G need
ed temporary relief always wcakens the
system, while abstinence secures the good
result without doing any injury.
Said young gentleman to a distinguish
ed medical practitioner in Philadelphia,
"Doctor, what do you do for yourself when
you have n turn of headache or other slight
attack ?"
Go without my dinner, was the reply
And it that does not cure you, what

Go without my breakfast We physi-
clans seldom take medicine ourselves, or use
them in our families, for we know that alb
stlnence is better, but we cannot make our
patients believe it"
Many cases of slight indisposition are cur
ed by change of diet. Thus if Il person
suffers from constipation, has a head
ache, slight attacks of fever or dyspepsia. the
cause may often be removed by eating rye
muSll and molasSes, baked apples and other
fruits.
