embracing many of the best men in the
party. Among the resolutions adopted By
the Coaveotioo we're the following:
R.soIveS, That, fully approving the sea-
timsnt of the immortal Jackson - the
head of the democracy in its prOudest
DAYS, Us are IN favor of plain government,

separation of the races, and the COLOMBIA
ton of the black race at the earliest prse-
ticable period.

The Penalty of Originality.

1t is not often, that our neighbor of the Ad-
vertiser INDUCES in the hazardous luxury Of
an original expression of opinion. Readers of
the New York World know overnight what
to expect in the next mornings Advertiser.
But week ago last Wednesday, instgated
thereto by some unusual influence, our neigh
Dor was led into the indiscretion of prema-
ture TRADE against the militia law passed by
the late Legislature. Now observe how sharp
his knuckles are raped in Mondays World.
The Advertiser sees military despotism' in
the enrolment of the militia by the State; the
Advertisers conservative oracle, the World,
holds the following language:
No federal law passed in pursuance of the
power ito raise aud support armies" can In
any way effect the militia except by withdraw
ing (by voluntary enlistment or otherwisel a
small portion OF the men who compose it. The
state legislatures have as free field for legis-
lation on this subject as they had before the
conscription act was passed, and it is a duty
which they owe alike to their respective states
and to the Union to see that adequate provis-
ion exists for well organized and well drilled
militia. Besides the other occasions, TO which
we have alluded, for the possible employment
out OF the very conscription law, which was
intended to supersede it altogether. If great
and dangerous riots should accompany the
enforcement OF the conscription, nothing but
the militia of the vicinage could put them down.
Regiments from the army are too far distant,
and could not be spared. Such riots are as
likely to happen in one place as another, and it
is absurd to suppose that the government can
send home troops enough for the protection
oil every loyal community. II, after conscripts
are drafted. they should mutiny on their
way to the seat of war. nobody can predict
the ontrages they would be tempted to COM
INIT on deienseiess communities through which
they might pass on their way home. These
are only few possibilities against which
wise preeaution ought to provide, but they
are sufncient to demonstrate the necessity now
greater than ever, of keeping up an efiicieht
state militia. We trust the Legislature will
not adjourn without giving this subject due
attention. asaA Hifa

Prices In the Revolution.

Our cowardly or traitorous advocates of
peace sometimes point to the price-current as
an argument for the immediate suspension of
the war. How must the spirit of the Revolu-
tonary Fathers be stirred within them, II they
are cognizant Of our owu affairs, at such igno-
mlnious suggestions! We have before us the
letters OF Mrs Adams, wife of the second Pres
ident, who was then in Europe; and flnd,
among other items OF interest communicated
TO him, the following prices OF provisions in
the colonies:

Corn Is now thirty pounds; rye, twenty seven,
per oushei. Flour, from hundred aud thirty
TO hundred aud forty, per hundred. Beef,
eight dollars per pound; mutton, nine: lamb
six, seven, and eight. Butter, twelve dollars
per pound; cheese, ten. Sleeps WOOL thirty
dollars per pound; flax, twenty. Sugar, from
hundred and seventy to two hundred pounds
per hundred; molasses, forty-eight dollars per
gallon Tea, ninety; coffee, twelve. Cotton
wool, thirty per pound, Money scarce; plen-

ciously interposed in our favor, and delivered
many OF the enemy,s supplies into our hands,
so that our distresses have been mitigated. l
have as yet been able to supply my own fam
iiy, sparingly, but at price which would
astonlsh you. Corn is sold at four dollars per
bushel. hard money, which is equal to eighty
at the rate of exchange. Labor is at eight
dollars per day, and in three weeks it will be
twelve, ii is probable. Goods OF all kinds are
at such price that hardly dare mention it,
Linens are sold at twenty dollars per yard
the most ordinary sort of calicoes at thirty
and forty; broadcloths, at forty pounds per
yard; molasses, at twenty dollars per gallon /:
sugar, four dollars a pound; bohea tea, at
forty dollars; board, at fifty or sixty dollars
per week.
With such catalogue before us, let the
senseless drivelers blush, who parade the
prices-current OF the present day as an argu-
ment for abandoning the cause of the Union.

to evils which We know not of,r-perhaps
