We publish in another column an authentic
copy Of the resolutions adopted by the caucus
Of Democratic Senators We have examined
them critically, and can find nothing in them that
lie otjectionAble-nothing that every true national
man cannot heartily endorse. They clearly and
distinctly set forth the true doctrine on the Ter
ritorial question; there is no ambiguity, no
dodgng or evasion about them, and if the Char es-
ton Convention shall be as explicit in the decara-
ton of principle upon this subject and we bave no
reason to doubt it, the South will have no cause
to complain. While these resolutions claim moth
ing for the South that she is not clearly en-
titled to, and that every patriot in the North
ought not cheerfully to concede, there are bogus
DemOcrats-men who have no more claim to the
name of Democrat than the angel of darkness has
TO q seat in Heaven--who repudiate the sound doc
triDe enunciated. If the Charleston Conv enton
should fail to adopt the principles of these resolu-
tions, the Democratic party will become dsmoralized
and dsintegrated. and its nominations will fail to
command the respect of any portion of the South
ern people. But, if the Convention should adopt
the substance ifnot the form Of these resolutions,
the question will arise as to who will be the nom.
inee. 1t s impossible that Mr. Douglas can
receive the nomination, for his squatter sover-
eighty heresy would be in direct antagonism to
the platform, and even il he were 70 recant his
OdiOus doctrine, we would have no faith in his
sincerity. We cannot believe that the Charleston
Convention will be guilty Of the folly of foist-
ing upon The party man who would produce
schlsms in our ranks that would inevitably bring
upon us dsgraceful defeat, while there are hosts
of our men, good Had true, in the North az we'll
rs IN the South, who can commaad the united and
unbroken support of the Democracy. The South,
by courtesy, is entitled to the nominee for the
Presidency but We would not stckle about that,
where great principle Is at stake. But we have
right to it, and will claim of our Northern
brethren that they shall give us a sound man.
The great strength of the Democratic party lies in
the Southern States, and while we will not clAmor,
or demand that the nominee shall be Of our Sec
tiOn, we will insist that he shall be sound on the
question so vitality important to the South. Let
che Convention act wisely, adopt sound plat
form, and place upon the ticket true men, whether
they be Of the Northern or Southern section, and
the Democratic party, can march on 10 victory
more important in its bearings upon the future
destiny Of our great and glorious Republic than
any ever achieved by them in times gone by.

The above contribution 10 the literature o.

ago, and, notwithstanding its being anonymous
we cannot forego the satisfaction Of giving our
readers the benefit of it's perusal. As nm item
for a scrap book, we have no doubt it will be ex
tensively clipped. The lady who advances views
SO strikingly, at defiance with what we had con
sidered compatible with the finer feelings which
ought to characterize the gentler sex, will un.
doubtedy take her place in the rank of those
women known as strong minded" ones We
think the appeIation Of she men would become

that there is difference between woman and a

distinguishing between the two. Until she does

plan for an independent newspaper was propos-
ed to John Quincy Adams by some members of
Congress, and the necessity of such paper was
urged upon him with great earnestness. He
replied:


An Independent newspaper is very necessary
to make truth known to the people, but an
editor really independent must have heart OF
oak, nerves ofiron, and a soul of adamant, to
carry it through. His first attempt will bring a
hornets nest about his head, and, if they do not
sting him to death, or to blindness, he will have

BRowN's VALLEY, Sept llth.


EDToR DEMooRAT:-On Saturday last
grand council of the Boilers was held at this
place, for the purpose of nominating a candi-
date for Supervisor of the Second District
Nominate did say? No, it was only to 90

Of the man, dictated by Magruder Wicker

are deeply interested in working various
bills through the Board. Oh what a gather

out Of thrty-niue, and several sympathzing
Diggers with thei; squaws, who appeared to
manifest much interest in the result of their
deliberations.


The entire Convention have not paid into
our County Treasury 5000 in ten years.
Was II the good of the County that made
them so patriotic, or was it to assist the
leeches with which the country has been
cursed for years back and to secure some
small pckings for themselves or friends
Many think there is Il dividing game on hand
1t was apparent at the Conventin that met
in your city, who was to be the candidate
The Magruder clique ruling there with sue
cess, deferred the tax payers from going to
Browns Valley to enact the second farce
Their only hope was that convention would
be called, by electing delegates with refer
ence solely to the selection of a suitable per-
son for Supervisor. No, that would not do.
The Court House Clique would have been
beaten, it is with them rule or ruin


The time has come when over-burthened
Taxpayers will not support the nominees of
irresponsible gatherings like that which met
at Browns Valley. The imposition has been

S100,0 900 in debt. If we are ever to have
any reform, let our votes be cast only for men
of known business qualifications, men who
are not likely to be interested in Hospital
contracts, or supplies; men who are not in

with such men always results in their
gain; there is some loop left for tEem to
hang an advantage upon; something that
will rebound to their particular glorifca-
ton or profit. They are splendid mana
gers of benevolent Institutions; occupy
high places in the moral world-for such
are not those men who get caught; and
if they get caught, they manage to slip
through are great mortgager's, lend mon
ey on the right sort of security, and nev-
er lose, and whichever way they fall they
light all right. |hey are politicians, and
always n anage to be on the winning side
In life they are unexceplionable, with
characters excellent. But they are slip
perry nevertheless, and even while praising
them as men may, in their short sighted
ness, and they wriggle through to the
end, the veil will be lifted and the time

er discontinue And now we learn
through this same veracious sheet that d" the
eloquent young man " has met Judge Bak-
er at Rockport, and worsted him in the con-
fict. Judge Bakers age and experience,
his education and practice as an able law
yer and debater, his knowledge as a politi-
clan, his reputation as one of the first pub
lie men of Indiana, were of no avail before
the torrents of eloquence, the irresistible
logic, statesmanlike views, and trenchant
wit of the Young Giant of the Pocket -
The next we may expect will be that the
Enquirer will have Shanklin posted to de-
molish Gov. Corwin.


Seriously, the Enquirer should not spoil
the young man. He has had good training
as a boy; he has been taught nt home
that modesty is one of the virtues which
adorns the characters of young men, aud il
is wrong to cause him to forget it.
