and believing him to be the preference of an
overwhelming majority of our people. we

votes in his favor as unit, SO long as his
name is before the Convention, and to use all
honorable efforts to secure his nomination;
and the delegation is also instructed to vote
as a unit upon all questions which may come
before that body. as majority of the dele
gates may determine.
Resolred. That we protest against and de-
nounce as contrary to the plighted faith on
which the Constitution of our country was
established, all acts, or infiammatory appeals
which intend or tend, to make this Union less
perfect, or to leopard or disturb its domestic
tranquility. or 10 mar the spirit of harmony.
compromise and concession, upon which the
Union was formed by our fathers.
Resolred, That we regard the recent out

uion itself; and we hereby reprobate and
denounce the crime and the treason.
Resolvea. That We are in favor Of home
stead to all actual settlers upon the public
lands of the United States

termined to stand by the we'll considered dec

Buchanan in his letter OF acceptance; we
affirm that it is the unquestionable right Of
the people of Territory. like those of a
State, to determine for themselves whether
slavery shall shall not exist within their
limits
Resofcea. That it is SANDER upon the
Democratic party, both north and south,
made by the Opposition, when they charge
them with being in favor of re- opening of
the African slave trade.
Resolred. That we believe in that provis
ion of the Constitution and the laws thereun
to enacted for the naturalization of foreign
ers. and that when they declare their inten
ton to become citizens of our Government
we believe that they are entitled to its pro-
lection, wherever the flag of our country may
wave over the land, as though they were
native born citizens.
Resolved. That We are opposed to the
transfer Of the Wabash and Erie Canal to
the State, or any change in the relation OF
the State to the anal bondhollrrs.

here as profound statesman, acquainted
with the history of ancient and modern
Governments. and especially familiar with
that of our own country. On these subjects
he has long been eopious and influential
writer. In connection with him. have been
particularly struck not only with his mass Of
political facts. but with his powers of ana
lysis. and the force and felicity with which
be seizes and presents the genius Of political
systems subjected to his consideration.
Though Mr.. Bates has not accepted poli;-
ical station, except 10 the few instances have
mentioned he has for nearly forty years.
been the active and efficient friend aud pro-
moter of religious, charitable aud education
al Institutions in this large and tiourishing
city. To them he has contributed his influ-
enee. his time. and his eloquence. He is,
therefore. highly respected; nay more. he is.
l believe. universally beloved His name is
unsullied alike by reproach and suspicion
Though not generally known in the East, ex
cept to those who have had opportunities of
extensive observation. he has here in this
great valley wide celebrity. aud probably
enjoys at this moment a more complete and
universal confidence than any other man in
il.
Such is a brief sketch of Mr.. Bates. made
up from the casual opportunities which have
fallen in my way. OF his political princi.
Piles need not speak. as they are generally
known. He is very currently spoken of here
as candidate for the Presidency. He is a
son of the West--if not by birth, by adoption
and association. He is familiar with the his
tory. the interests and the traditions OF these
Western States. Sanguine politicians in this
quarter maintained that, if he should be
adopted as the candidate OF the united Re-
publicans and Wings, the prairies would be
on fire with patriotic zeal which has not
been witnessed since the year ls4O.
should Judge by what l see, that he would
carry Missouri. to which others add Kentucky
and Tennessee.

his evenings away from home, never coming

to incorporate a set of infdel Dutch, who
did not believe in heaven, hell or the devil .
The actual cause OF resistance to The incor-

A few days ago the Legislature of the

The bill was sent to Gov. Black for his
approval, aud was returned with long veto

he said

deal in harsh language. Much had been said
about secession. He would not now give his

Harper's Magaz;ne and Weekly Prosc,,-
Jed.--The North Carolinian, of Fayetteville,
N. O., says:
"We notice these periodicals upon our
streets as numerous ever, after it is ascer-
tanned that G.. w. Curtis, one Of the editors,
is an Infamous Abolitionist and that one Of
the Harper's has given a large sum of money
to the Brown sympathisers. Should these
papers be allowed to circulate SO protusely in
our midst? We notice that his Honor Judge
Saunders put a stop to the sale IF these pa.

why they are not stopped here. Are we to
see these Abolition sheets upon our streets
without word of rebuke? 1t lis with the

plentitude Of their wisdom deem not fit for

its circulation must be prohibited. We sin
