R<sol0ed, That in the future, as in the
past, We will adhere with answering f.
deity to the Union under the Constitu-
ion as,the only solid foundation of our
trength, security and happiness as a PEG
pie, and as a framework of government
equally conducive to the welfare and
prosperity of all the States, both Northern
and Southern.
Resolued, That this Convention does
explicitly declare, as the sense of the
American people, that after four years of
failure to restore the Union by the exper-
iment of war, during which, under the
pretence of a military necessity or war
power higher than the Constitution, the
Constitution itself has been disregarded
{ in every part, and public liberty and pri-
vate right alike trodden down and the
material prosperity CT the country essen
TALLY impaired-justice, humanity, liber-
ty, and the public welfare demand that
immediate efforts be made for a cessation
Of hostiiities, with a view to an ultimate
convention of the States, or other peace
able means, to the end that at the earliest
practicable moment peace may be restor
ed on the basis of the Federal Union of
the States.
ResolUed, That the direct interference
Of the military authorities of the United
States in the recent elections held in
Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, and Della.
ware, was a shameful violation of the
Constitution; and a repetition of such acts
in the approaching election will be held
as revolutionary, and resisted with all the
means and power under our control.
Resolued, That the aim and object o
the Democratic party is to preserve the
Federal Union aud the rights of the
States unimpai-ed; and they hereby de-
clare that they consider hat the admins
trative asurpation of extraordinary and
dangerous powers not granted by the
Constellation; the subversicn of the civil
by milltarylaw in States not in insurrec-
ton; the arbitrary military arrest, impri-
sonment, trial and sentence of American
citizens in States where civil law exists IN
full force; the suppression of freedom of
speech and Of the press; the denial of the
right of asylum the open and avowed dis
regard of State rights; the employment
of unusual test oaths; and the interior
renee with and denial of the right of the
people to bear arms in their defense, is
calculated to prevent a restoration of the
Union, and the perpetuation of a govern
ment deriving its just powers from the
consent of the governed.
Resolred, That the shameful disregard
ofths Administration to its duty, in re-
spect to our :fellow-citizens who now are,
and long have been, prisoners Of war in a
suffering condition, deserves the severest
Reproduction on the score alike of public
policy and common humanity.
ResolUed, That the sympathy of the
Democratic party is heartily and earnestly
extended to the soldiery of our army and
sailors of our navy, who are and have
been, in the FIELD and on the sea, under
the flag of their country; and, in the
event of its attaining power, they will re-
eeive all care, protection, and regard that
the brave soldiers and sailors of the Re-
public have SO nobly earned.

PROM MEMPHIS.
A umor of MomeMt-A Cotton Proposition
fron Reh heIs

ST. LOUIS, Jan. l2.-The Republicans Mem
phis correspondent says two important pro-
positions have recently been made by the rebel
authorities TO the Federal Government. First,
the Quartermaster of the Confederate Army at
fernando, acting by authority of the Richmond
officials, has offered to sell to Gen. Hurlbut or
the United States Government all the cotton
now remaining within certain districts outside
OF the Federal lines. This offer embra ,es fif-
teen thousand bales in all. Confederate money
and green backs" will be taken for it. 1t is
said General Hurlbut favors the purchase and
recommended that it be carried into effect.
Second, it is stated Kirby Smith recently sent
an authorized messenger to Washington to pro-
pose to the Federal authorities TO furnish every
requisite authority to get out all the cotton in
that por'ion of the Red river and Washta dis.
trict within rebel control The money for the
same to be paid TO that class of officers except
ed from the amnesty offered by President Lin
coin. They to retire from the rebel army and
go to Mexico.
The Republican says editoriaIly: A." OF the cor
rectness Of this information we have no doubt,
for it comes from sources likely to have the
best means OF information. Also, that this
would involve complete disbandment of the
rebel forces in Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisi-
ana and exas, and the Immediate return of
those States to the Union.

RECENT EXPEDITION INTO NORTH
CAROLINA.

Ihree Thousand Slaves Set Free-Four
Camps and Great Amount of Supplies
Destroyed-Stock Carried OFF, sc.
A Norfolk correspondent OF the New York
Times furnishes an interesting account of Gen
Wild's recent expedition, with a considerable
bodJ of coiored troops. beyond our lines into
North Carolina. The results OF the expedition
are thus stated:
s'The material results of the raid may be
summed up follows: Between two and
th1 ee thousand slaves were released from bond
age, with whom were taken along about three
hundred and .ifty OK, horse and mule teams,
some of them valuable animals. The guerril-
las lost thirteen killed and wounded; ten dwell
ing houses, with many thousand bushels OF
corn belonging to them were burned, besides
two distilleries; four of their camps were de-
strOyed, and one OF their number was hanged;
and one hundred rifles, uniforms, infantry
equipments, &c, tell into our hands as spoils,
with loss on the part of the brigade of twelve
killed and wounded and one man taken prie-
oner. Besides this, fourteen rebel prisoners
and four hostages were brought in.
sin regard to its moral and political results,
however, the importance of the raid cannot be
over estimated. The counties In vaded by the
colored troops were completely panic. stricken.
Scores of families, for 10 cause but a guilty
conscience, fled into the swamps on their ap-
proach. Never was region thrown into such
commotion by raid before. Proud scions Of
chiyalry, accustomed to claim the most abject
obedience from their slaves lit orally fell on
their knees before these armed and uniformed
blacks, and begged for their lives. I was fire.
quently asked how l., q citizen, dared to trust
myself among such incarnate demons. What
shall do to be saved 2 was the question asked
on every side.
mo sooner would the brigade ent er neigh
borhOod, than General Wild's Quarters would
be beseiged by those wishing to take the oath Of
allegiance and secure the protection of the
Government Their slaves might all go-only
let their lives and property be protected Union
meetings were held in several places, and dele
cations sent to General Wild, proposing to do
anything to be saved One set of resolutions
was signed by fifty. nine planters, and another
by seventy six, while the return Of the ex xpedi.
tion was preceded and followed by hundreds
of North Carolinians, Fastening to Norfolk to
obtain certificates OF their loyalty. One hun
dred and twenty vehicles crossed Great Bridge
in single day, containing persons journeying
thither for this laudable purpose. An army Of
$1,000 blacks could march from one end Of Reb-
eldom to the other almost without opposition,
the terror they would inspire making them in--
yincitle."
