WIIIO NATIONAL CONVENTION.
• Th!sbody will assemble in Baltimore,' next
Wednesday. ' There are hilt three pronitnent
candidates talked of for the. honors of the
Presidency, either one of whom would grace
that elevdted position. In his peculiar capa
city, each has rendered enough services to
the country 'to entitle him to the heaity suf
frages of the people. So that, let the now:
'nation fall upon whom it will, there can . be .
no material dissatisfaction anywhere—on the
contrary, everything augurs the most cor

convention.

of duty to: their fellow-men (if they cease

EPODE AND AFTER CONVENTION.
The Locofoco organs, endorsing theirilate
residential nomination, attempt to impose
por.the unsophisticated porlion cif the pub
by conveying the 'impression that Gene
al PIERCE IS tic man of the party—justly
• orthy of s triumph over old Fogyism antl
.'oung America, and they would even have
believe that the minlizer of his nomination
throwing aside all the prominent condi-
'ates and uniting upon one comparatively'
oknown—was purposely mancrovred, as a
''vinning trick of the Democracy.
Swallowing this gammon. for
-a moment,
'e have only to - say that if the principle

In whit Sort of a posiiion are we now to try this

we going to make with a new man without any
prestige—without raccurpicumas services—with Out
long and honorable antecedents? Some ex-ntsm

thousand sn the Uktan7or some exhumed, for

confidence? what to excite enthusiasm ? -On what
feeling of our people da you '
count, to elect such a
candidate ? Row can you look toany eking but a
scandalous defeat?
And besides, who daresto counsel a great people
to a policy so humiliating and so base as an abso
lute ostracism or all tts talent and experience,
merely for the sale of electing some newness um

nd how do you know that he will even do this ?
- Why may your' malmown man not turn out a fool
or a bleye ? Why may he not prove one of the
large class of whom history speaks, whose beads
are turned by the possession of sudden power?
Tlaisgatrie is too dangerous to be lightly played.
And dow, gentlemr, make your nomination. - It
is very customary to say that_ the country is in a
crisis. We think the country is safe enough. But
the Deinccratic Party is in a pretty manifest crisis;
-its very existence depends on your action..
•• Do not delude yourselves into the belief that you
are about to enter on an easy contest before you.- 7
Before the last echo of jour buzzes over the nom-

TUE LOCOPOCO PLATFORIIIi
Adopted at Baltimore, last week, is corn
,
posed of the following matenal---bur readers
can examine it for thetas — elves; we want
both sides to have a• fair hearing. The res•
otutions comprise alt those of '4B, With a
few additional, enclosed below in brackets: •
Re.,olved, That the American Democracy plice
their trust iii the.intelltgence, the patriotism, and
the discriminating justice of the AmeriCan people.•
Rewired, That we regard this - as a distinctive
feature of our political creed, which we are proud
to maintain before the world, as the great moral
element in a form of government, springing from
and upheld by the popular Will; and we contrail it
with the creed and practice .of - federalism, under
whatever name or form, which seeks to palsy the
will of the.cotstioient;and which conceives
imposture too monstrous for the popular credulity.
Rtsoired, therefore, That, entertaining these
views, the Democratic party of this Union through
their delegates, assembled in a general convention.
of the :.I , .tates,coming together in aspirit of concord,
of devotion to the doctrines and faith of a free rep
resentative government, and appealing to their fel
low citizens for the rectitude of their intentions,
,renew and reassert, before the Americah people,
the declarations ot principles avowed by them,
when, on tp:mer occasions, in general convention,
they iresentedtheir candidates for the popular suf
(razes
That the Federal Government is one of
lim
ited powers, derived solely from the Constitution
and the grants of powermade therein ought to be
strictly construed by all the departments and agents
of the Government; and that it is inexpedient and
dangerous to exercise doubtful constitutional pow.
ern.
2.. That the Constitution does o not center upixf
the General Government the polder to commence
and carry on a fecret, syatem 4.4 . , infernal improve
ment,.
S.-That the Constitution does not confer author
ity upon the Federal Government. directly or indi
rectly, to assume the debts of the' several States
contracted for local internal improvements, or oth
er State purposes; nor would such assumption be
just and expedient. . _
4. That Justice and sound policy forbid the Fed
eral - Government to foster one branch of industry
to the detriment of any other, or to cherish the In
terests of one portion to the Injury of another por
tion of
.onr common Country; that every citizen,
and every section of the country, has'a right it3de
mand and insist upon an equality. f rights and pri
vileges, and to complete and ample protection of
persons and property from domestic violence or
foreign aggression . .
That it is the duty of every branch of the gov
ernment to enforce and practise the must rigid eco
nomy in conducting our public affairs, and that no
more revenue ought to be raised than is required
to defray the necessary expenses of the govern
ment Kiel for the gradual but certain extinction of
the public debt.
6. That Congress hat no power to charter a Na
tional Bank that we believe such an institution
one ot deaaly hostility to :he bests interest of the
country, dangerous to our republican institutions
and the liberties of the people, and calculated to
place the business of the country within the con
trol ot a concentrated money power, and above the
laws and the will or the people ; and that the re
sults.of Demo - cratic legislation, in this and all other
Anancial measures upon which issues have been
made between the two political parties of the
country, have demonstrated to candid and practi
cal men of all parties. their soundness, safety and
utility in all business pursuits.
7. That the separation of the moneys of the gov
ernment from banking institutions i 4 indispensable
for the safety eif the funds ot the government and
the rights of the people.
8. That the liberal principles embodied by Jef
ferson in the Declaration of Independence, and
- saiv-tioned, in the Constitution, which makes ours
the land of liberty, and the asylum of the oppress
ed of every nation have ever been cardinal princi
ples in the L'emocratic faitho;,nd every attempt to
abridge the privilege of becoming citizens and the
owners of soil among to ought to be resisted with
the same spirit which swept tlie alien and sedition
laws from our statute-books.-
DE
9. That Congress has no power under the Con
stitution to interfere with or control the domestic
institutions of the several States, and that such
Slates are the Sole and propeejudges'of everything
appertaining to their own atfains, not prohibited by
the Constitution ; that all efforts of the abolitionitta
or others made to Induce Congress to interfere with
questions of slavery, or to take incipient steps in re
lation 'thereto. are calculated to lead to the most
alarming and dangerous consequences; and that all
such efforts have an inevitable tendency to dimin
iSh the happiness of the people, and endanger the
stability and permanency of the onion, and ought
not to be countenanced - by any friend of our politi
cal institutions.
inesolved That the foregoing proposition col
ers and was intender: to embrace the whelp sub
ject of slavery agitation in Congress, and therefore
the Democratic party of the Union, standing on this
national platform, will abide by and adhere to the
faithful execution of the Acts - known as the Com
promise measures, sealed by the last Congress—
the Act for reclaiming fugitives from service of la
bor included; whicteect being designed to carry
out an ex press provision of the Constitution, can
not with fidelity thereto be repealed, or so changed
as in destroy or impair its efficiency.
[Resolved, That the Democratic party will resist
ell attempts at renewing, in Congress or out of it,
the agitation of the slavery question, under what
ever shape or color the attempt may be made.]
gesolved, That :he proceeds of the public lands
ought to be sacredly applied to the nat ional objects
specified .fn the Constitution; and that we are op
posed to anylaw for the Aiistribution of such pro
ceeds among the States{, s,_ alike inexpedient in
policy, rind repugnant to tb 'Constitution.
licsol6ra, That we are decidedly opposed to
inking tram the President the qualified veto pow
er, by which' be is enabled, under . restrictions and
responsibilities, amply sufficient to guard the pub-,
he interest, to suspend the passage of a bill whose!
merits cannot secure the approval of two-thirds of
the Senate and House of Representative, until the
judgment of the people ran be obtained thereon,
and which has saved the American people from
the corrupt and tyrannical domination of the Bank
ot the United Slates, and from a corrupting system
of general Internal improvements.
[Resolved, That the Democratic party - will faith
fluty abide by.and uphold the principles laid down
in the Kentucky and Virginia resolutions of 1799,
aria in the report of Mr. Madison to the Virginia
Legislature in 1790. That it adapts these princi
ples as constructing one of the main foundations of
its political creed, and is resolved to carry them out
in their obvious meaning and import. •
fßesolerd, That the war with Mexico, upon all
the principles of patriotism and the laws of the na
tions, was a just and necessary war on our part, in
which every American citizen should have shown
himself on the side of,hiscoAltry, and neither mor
ally nor physically, by word or deed, given aid and
comfort to the enemy:
[Resolved, That we rejoice at the restoration of
friendly relations with our sisterrepublic of Mexi
co, and earnestly desire for her all the blessings
and prosperity which , we eojoy under republican

and exclusive legislation, for the benefit of the few
at the expense of the many, and by . a vigilant and

Was also afterwards approret / thy General JACK

bill to Continue the Crimberiand road in the States
of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois." This was on the

Federal Government, and con:in:fitted against them

'ever be called upon to sign an improve/neat bill of
any mane or nature, our Western friends Mary look
out fora veto. How will it read in Iowa;
along the Mississippi, and the great lakes,
Preacr i and down withatanal improvenients!"
But this is merely en jszjsant.
Oa the 21st of Fehrtmry 1937, Mr...llubbard
presented 'the Senate t he credemtialS of Mr.
Plena, elected a Senator from the State of New
Hampishire to serve for six years from the 4th of
March '
then following.. During the sessidn'of 1831
-38, he recorded himself. tigamst a harboi bill that
was voted for by Mi. Drell:MAX and hy. Mr.
Warmer; for Mr.. Ptract went with the ettremes.
At the same session he voted against a br for the
benefit'of the Alabama; Florida and Georgia Rail
road Company, which was a measure of such a
character that even Mr. Calhoun and Mr.,Grundy
voted for -it, and Mr. mice found himwlf in a
minority of ssix.itt opposition. But it was enough
that the, oill contemplated "internal improvement. "
At the same session, moreover, Mr. 'PIERCE . gave
a vote which we desire to submit to the particular
anemic:in of those of our western friends who are
soliciting aid from the General Government for
building - their railroads. They should know that
the Democratic nominee set his Mee as a flint
againit all these projects. A was -before the
Senate for the " benefit of the Mount Camel and
New Albany Railroad Company, in the State of
Indiana"—providing for a grant of alternate sec
tions along the road, the company contracting to
carry the-rn . ail for twenty years soithont charge to
the Gotyrument ; which would pay the Govern
ment at the-rate of one dollar and AIR cents for each
acre panted. Mr. Cr.:Av and Mr. WEIIFTEtit voted
for thui bill; Mr. PIERCE, in entire cousistency with
his whole c c onrse on this and cognate subjects, vo
ted against. it ! We would like to know it our
HEX-Nand CLARKE, of lONER, pro
pore to go into the nest canvass before their people
as the :advocates of IA candidate who is not only .
pledged against the improvement of harbors and
rivers, but against granting any Federal aid by the
Appropriation of alternate sect ions to railroads,even
on the condition of their carrying the 'United Gate;
mails twenty tears for nothing.
We do not' propose, just at present, to follow Mr.
Planet through his Senatorial career. It is enough
for our purpose to show that. as tar as their espe
cial interests are concerned, our Westemfriends
would have found them much better cared for by
Mr: DouuLass or Gan. CAss than,by Mr. PIERCE.
It seems to us that they - have been a little over
reached in the idea that Mr. PIERCE'S legislative
career was a mere "blank sheet of paper." It is
written over with some very awkward committals.
His mast elaborate speech in the Senate was
agailmt 'the bill for the relief of Mrs. Ilarrlsou; this
widow of the lamented General."

P The IoW prices of Coal lust year, causing it to pen

wood, even if they can get it at half ptice.
The' Delaware and Iludson Company hare de
clared a dividend of three per cent. for the last six
months. This is less than was anticipated.
The increased price of tolls on the enlarged
Union Canal, together With the low rates at which
Coal is offered by the Dauphin and Susquehanna
Company, (lower, we learn, than the coat of pro
duction,) interferes considerably with the Coal
Trade ,of the Swatara l Region depending on the

GENF:HAL SCOTT'S POLITICS.
In a letter written by General SCOTT, in
October, 1851, from Washingttn, in answer
to certain inquiries, we find the following, re
lative to his party affinities. ft may he
in
teresting to some of our readers
"PARTY POLlTlCS.—Although. bout early nusi
hood, I. have, °by the profession of arms, in de
,lenee of my country, been thrown out of the arena
of party polities, yet I have never ceased to be an
attentive observer of public cventsi and thus, I be
lieveohere has scarcely been adiseussion of mo
ment in Congress, within my time, on which I did
not form, and modestly, but firmly, express a pass
ing opinion.
"A mere youth, I felt the , Aiveliest joy when the
alien and sedition law expired in the triumph of
Mr. JEFTERSON. From MN; I was old tsioug,h,hy
speech and s-u, to call for a prompt and energetic
redress of our wrongs suffered from Great Britain
under her orders in council, attack on the Chesa
peake frigate, and', ong continued impressment of
-our senmeni and when the war of 1812 at length
came, I was among the first and longest in the pre
sence of the foe. The insults received from ..the
French Directory, their depredations on our com
merce, renewed under Napoleon's decrees, (Berlin
tout Milan,),which followed the British orders in
council, also largely shared - in my indignant repro
!ration. •
•' The administrations of Mr. MADISON and Mr.
MONROE, like that of Mr. JtvrtrisoN, had, in their
respective periodsony humble but hearty approba
tion, and I have .since cen-nred nothing in either
but the 'sate 01 dpart, and the dismantling of the re
mainder ofmur Navy, 111,4 gunboat sritem of de
fence that folloWetl, and' the iiiiirtinite embargo
whicy, crippling us tor.war, by destroying our com
merce and4Mances, and oppressing agriculture,
was long Optinued, without redressing ,otte out
rage from afitoad.,"
" I give this little sketch of the growth of my
party,-teehngs br opinion.—unimportant, perhaps,
except to myself and a few partial friends z --lo show
that; if I have never been a federalist, In any party
please of the-term,, so never have I been a jacobin,
an impracticable or abstractionist, in any sense
whatever; bur always an old-fasbioncd republican:
devoted to the support of law arnforder—a Demo
cratic Whig, just as all my family had been Whigs,
iti the great struggle for national freedom and inde
pendence."
The following is an extract from a letter
written by : the General, in February, 1943,
on the subject at slavery :
I own, myself, no slaves; . but never.-hare at
tached blame to masters for not lilxirafMg their
slaves—well knowing that liberation, wawa the
means of sending them in comfort to sonIA:, position
thvoraMe to die pursuit of happiness. 'would in
'most eaves he highly injurious to all around. as
well as to the manumitted familiestheinselves—un i
less the operation were general, and tinder the aus
pices of prudent legislation. But lam persuaded
that it is a h u sh moral obligation of masters and
slaveholding States to employ all means not in•
compatible with the safety of loth enlors, to melio
rate shivery even to extermination."
Cr:72'.NO DifeßT OF IT.—One of the speak
ers, from Kentucky, at the Locofoco Ratifica
tion meeting,in Philadelphia,on Tuesday eve
ning.last, said that, "although no sanguine
man, he would promise that Kentucky will,
in Novernbernext, stand by theside ofPenn
sylvania." We admit that this prediction
will be verified; for both these States•will
cast their electoral votes fur Gen. SCOTT, it
•
he lives:
O AcCIDENTS IN COAL MINLSI—Among
the latest items of Foreign news, we observe
that a committee of the House of Comm Ons
has been_ appointed to enquire into the fre
quent causes of the large loss of life in the
coal mines. No doubt, many interesting and
valuable resulti may be brought about by
such an investigation.

Pills, prevented for their consideration, and have re
turnedforry Bi lls, eleven of which were ignored. and
twenty-nine returned an true Bills. the majority of
which were calms of minor grades, and originated
principally in the too free use of intoxicating drinks.
They would also beg leave to report, that they

being tinishe.d they thoroughly examined the whole
building. and the cells for the prisoners in particular,
and find them well adapted fur the purposes for which
they are intended, being well ventilated, and amply
provided with water for , cleanliness. The Inquest
would respectfully suggest, that theprisoners should
be provided with a chair or some convenient seat,
they now having no seat but their bedsteads. The
Inquest would further respectfully suegest the pro
priety of furnishing each prisoner with a Bible and .
Testament for their use during continemeni.
They would also furtherreport, that they have ex
amined the Public °dices, nod found everything in
good order, and the Ottces,well adapted for the secu

the Inside shutters of the Vault., which they find al
together too slight for the purposes designed.

The latest advices from Santa Fe give an
alarming account of ibe l condition of things
in that country. The Ciril Governrrient has
proved unable to sustain itself, and but for
the prompt efForts of it'd military to enforce
order and protect life and property, the most
disastrous consequences ivould ail have
followed—the Mexicans' have shown a dis
position to resist everything American. A.
correspondent of . the ;t,. 1 Louis Republican
says,—.. Since the establishment-of a Terri
tonal Government for New Mexico every
Mexican influence has been cast against its
successful operation. Murders have 'been.
committed on American citizens, -and the
