a reference to the inhospitable welcome

the free people of the North gave utter

anticheers.] We have been told by the
Union, the
,organ of the government at
Washington, that it was wrong for the
4inople of the North to meet and discuss
the Wilmot Proviso. Mr. Ritchie, the
editor of that journal, is a man of talent '
and of agreeable manners. lint he mis
takes his vocation if lie thinks it any part
of his province to lecture the freemen of
New York. [Cheers.] Ile has been re- j
lietitly translated [laughter] from Virginia

tsristie family. His predecessor was an a
mathand had led the democracy through
many 'successful battles. lint what has
Mr. Ritchie to show, that he has, in any
degree, contributed either to the harmony,
nuuibets, or triumphs of the democracy !
Arkansas was once so strongly democratic
(hat you could hardly find a Whig with a
scarch warrant; [laughter] and vet it is
now no ni the dominion of the Whigs !
Tionieesee—the home of the President,
and once a pillar in the democratic temple
lapsed, and r,nw rests in the arms
of Whigery ; although there has been ex
ecutive patronage enough bestowed upon
~lierj e itizens, within two years, to have
converted Massachusetts herself! [Great
laughter.] And Massachusetts, whose
democracy had more than once triumphed,
duringing the editorial reign of Mr. 'filch

expressed the hope that if the people of
New York were to elect a tutor from south
blithe, Potomac, they might have the usual
privilege of making an examination of his
qualities themselves. The editor of the
llniUtrstays that the ordinance of 1787 is
aini“tn terpolation" in the democratic creed.
'This is not the first time this gentleman
Itatdenoonced democratic measures as "in-

democratic creed to be composed, like the
deed of the Synod of Dort, of a certain
number of Articles. revokable only by the

Hut would any citizen of Neu• York, if he

! • Mr. V. B. referred to the charge in the
Argus, that himself and friends were act
' with the Whigs. As an offset to this
charge, he read S. Strong's celebrated affi
davit, amid cheers and laughter; and after
stating that it had never been contradicted,
he proceeded to say that when it was de
nied, he would bring forward further evi
dence, and prove to the democracy that,
fur the second time, Mr. Croswell had
got his foot in the grating. [Great laugh
ter.] 'Mr. V, B. denied that the simple
fact that the ,Whigs concurred with the
radical democracy in regard to the s Wilinot
Proviso, was any evidence either that it or
its advocates were federalists. But for the
AVltigs, the law in relation to the new con
stitution could not have passed. lint for
NVltig votes, the new constitution could
not have been adopted. The conserva-1
lives opposed them both. Why were
not the radical democrats branded RS
in those cases ? The man, said

Ile would as soon think of rennin; away
from the Mexicans because a reinforce
ment of Whigs were coming up to the res
cue, as to run away from the support of
the proviso because the Whigs were in fa
vor of it. [Prolonged cheering] , Instead
of branding such support art evidence of
- its federal character, he wouldudeent it
evidence of its righteousness. No wise;
man will repudiate a good thing because it
has the countenance of-theee-widt-whom
he differs generally. [Cheers.]lle doubt
ed whether all the brave men to Our army
in Mexico were democrats. At York
town, Chippewa, Buena Vista aid Uher
ubuSco, Whigs - fought bravely. If the
'crimson soil of those battle fields should
be analyzed, there, would be found some
spots of Whig blood. [Cheers] He
would deein him a craven at heart, if he
should find himself hesitatiug to admit the
gallantry of Gen. Taylor. simply because
Ise was a Whig. [Cheers] There rite
times when all good men rally to the sup
port of correct principle. He was the last
man to be driven off from a righteous mea
sure, because he found it supported' by
men connected with other denommation&
He had been accused of leading the dem
ocrats astray in their contest. He would

ty against them, when the votes are

ed. [Cheera.] Me - hid been charged
with being influenced in his present Mtn;
duct, by the action of the Baltimore
Convention in 1810. He appealed to
Democrats and Whigs to say' if any
man in the State lauored harder than
himself to secure the "elettien of the knot
nee of that convention. Whatever good
qualities he may 'have, he had tivu quality
of frankness. When half** for *igen be
was for him with all his heart. When ne
was againsto - man.--he was against him,
just as sincerely. He went into that cam
paign because, besides men; the Baltiinore
Convention sent oat principles under which
the democracy could rally. But this Sy
racuse Convention haenot only giventil
no principles, but men whom a majority
of the republicans of the State do not want.
Still, if he was an editor, with no more
principle than some editors, he might run
up the name of Hungerford for Comptrol
ler, and on election day, vote for Hunger
ford for State Senator. [Cheers] He
had no fear of the issue of this contest.—
Even though the government should fall
into the hands of the Whigs they could do
but little harm so long as they were kept
in the straight jacket - of thenew-ermstitu
thin. [Cheers.) Mr. V. B. would leave
every man to do as he pleased in regard to
supporting the Syracuse ticket. The dem ,
ocrats who had heard Itim might doss
they pleased. They =ln vote it if they .
choose ; but, said Mr. V. 8., I'm the man
that wnn'tdo it. [Tumultuous cheering.]
I won't, because no principles were ex
pressed by the Conventioe which nomina
ted it. I won't beeause it refused to declare
itself in favor of freedom. I won't be
cause I could not and maintain my self
respect. I won't, because to do so would
gratify the men who last year emedied Si
las Wright. [Great applause.] Now
you may take your own course-=do what
you choose. Those of you indebted tp
conservative banks, better vote the ticket.
Doctors who have conservative patients,
better vote the ticket. Lawyers who have
conservative clients, better vote the ticket.
Chicken pedlars and fish-mongers who
have conservative customers, better vole
the ticket; because, if you do not, the con
servatives will sacrifice you if they can.—.
t for me, I won't vote that ticket. [Pro
tracted cheering.] . ,le conclusion, hfr. V.
B. said, he haul taen his stand deliberate
ly and believed he had the sympathies of
the masses. If men can read the papers
—attend the Herkimer Convention—and
witness this enthusiastic gathering—and
are still unable to realize that the back
bone of the party is broken, they may wig
gle along until the election in their blessed
ignorance, and then they will realize it.
[Cheers.] I repeat, you may all do as
you please : but I shan't support that tick
et. [Cheers.] lam aware that lam ac
cused of violating the usages of the demo
_-,
cratic party ; but• cheating isn't a usage
of the party. [Laughter.] The Herki
uner Convention declared that the action of
the Syracuse Convention was of no hind
ing force. This I belive. [Cheers.] I
alkali choose my own candidates. I shall
vote my own ticket. I shall vote to "Main
tain Freedom"—to "Rebuke Fraud"—to
"Remember Silas Wright." [Tremen
dous and prolonged cheering.] It is for
you to do as von please. I know you are
intelligent. I know you are patriotic. I
know you arc discreet, and I believe yott
will art right. [Cheers and "we will."]
The political sea is now tempest tossed ;
but itt the midst of the dashing billlows I
think I see the spirit of liberty moving up
on the face of the waters ; and I think I
hear, even above the roar of the tempest, a
spirit whisper, "Be of good cheer ; it is I
—be not afraid." [Shout after shout, and
the most tumultuous enthusiasm followed
this termination of a speech, of which we
have given but little more than a skeleton.]

IMPORTANT DECISION.--In the Court of
Quarter Sessions of Philadelphia county, last Sa
turday, Judges Parsons and Kelley vacated the H
uns e of a tavern keeper, named John Morison, on
the, ground that the house wu kept open on Sun•
day. Judge Pursue said that be laid down the
principle that ell tavern keepors who allow per
sons to come about their houses and drink on the
Sabbath, violated the law, and that that the Coat
would, on ihat ground, vacate their lituousin—
Judge Kelly upwind his concurrence ki this

ANOTHER.--The Supreme Court of this
State has decided that under the Act of 1833, ■
Will, to which the •msrk" of the testator is mule,
is void. The Upstater must sign the testamentary
instrument by his own proper signature, if he be
able to do so, but if prevented from doing this by
VielibelkiliShillty or - other Incepaelty, resorute is
to be bad to the alternative mode of authentication
pointed out by the statute, to wit : signing the tee.

by some person in his presence, and by his express
direction, and both the incompetency and signa
ture by express request mud be proved by two
witnesses.
THE LICENSE LAW.—The ground upon
which the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania decla
red the tweet License Law to be unconstitutional
was, that the Legislature could not delegate its
powers of legislation to the vote of the people.—
Judges Coed* and Burnside dissented front this
decision. If the decision be a mound one, will not

contributions, and the conservative tone and ele

NEW YORK—The Whig triumph •is com

is Whig in all her Departments, except the Judi

of New York promptly took up the issues to which
their opponents had challenged them, and went
into the contest with "Opposition to the /thrice*

they sustained by the freemen of Now Yak.

Reseiveti, That while the Democracy
of New Yorltsrepresented in this Conven
tion will adhere to all the compromises of
the COW'Shelton; and Maintain ail the re
served rights of the States, they declare—
' Arttelihilt_ctisis_hati_. arrived _wheir_that
question must be met—their uneompro
mising hostility to the extension of slavery.
into territory now free, which may be
hereafter acquired, by any action of the
Goiertiment of the United States."
Resolved. That the declared determina
tion of no incomiderable portion of our fel
low Democrats at the South, to refuse to go
into a General Convention for the nomina
tion of a candidate for the Presidency, ex
cept upon condbion that opposition to the
extension of slavery into new territories
be abandoned; and to refuse their suffrages
to candidates for office who do .not concur
in such extensive, makes it necessary for
the Democracy of New York to declare
that; if such determination is persisted in,
and becomes general, they will be obliged to
adopt a counter declaration, and to proclaim
their detertnioaticia to - vote for no - ittan, un
der any circumstances, who'does-not sub
scribe to the preeedin . resolution ; and we
-s Oa .. -firmscratato pee ,
pare for such 0* emergency.
Resolved. That we believe• in the digni
ty and the rights of free labor ; that free
white labor cannot thrive upon the same
soil with slave labor; and that it would be
neither right nor wise to devote new terri
tory to the slave Moroi a part of the States
to the exclusion of the free labor of all the
States.
Resolved, Thit while we do not com
plain of the inequality of representation
between the citizens of free and slave
States, by reason of which the citizen of
the Slaveholding, South, who has four
slaves, has a representation equal to three
votes, while the -citizen of the free North
has but one, because such was the original
compact of Union, yet the freemen of N.
York will not consent, to such, 411 unequal
division of their power in conquered pro
vinces.
Resolved, That all experience has prov
ed the wisdom of that provision of the or
dinance originally moved by Thomas Jef
ferson, and adopted by the Congress of the
Confederation in 1787, which prohibited
slavery in the territory northwest of the
Ohio ; and that the Congress of the Uni
ted States, being clothed by the Constitu
tion with power to make ail needful rules
and regulations respecting the territory be
longing to the; United States, it becomes
the duty of that branch of the Government
to adhere to the policy instituted by the
fathemotthellepublic, and thus insure to
all new territories the progress in arts, im
provements, and enterprise, which has dis
tinguished the Northwestern States.
Resolved, tlierefre, That in the Terri
tory of Oregoit and in any territory here
after acquired 'y the United States on this
continent, neither slavery nor involuntary
servitude should be allowed, while it re
mains under tap dominion of the Union,
except for crime, whereof the party shall

THE WAR AND ITS COST.—The Amer

sive of the thouaanda who have fallen victims to
the climate and disease,) in the war with Mexico,
amounts already to more than one-half of the en
tire load in the protracted Revolutionary struggle
with Cheat Britain, which lasted iieven years !
Such is the fact, and here is the proof, deduced
from authentic sources:

PROGRESSIVE LOCOFOCOISM.—The

Alb** Conronlion.ittpUrebutca ..of A resoluta,*
of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian
church requesting all its ministers to preach on the
subject of War 'on a given Sabbath, delivered two
germane, In the course of which he had occasion
to remark on the immorality, cruelty, and crime
always the concomitants of War, and to deplore
the Mexican War as uncalled for and wrong.—
The next day, In the Convention, Mr. A r KIN, the
Locnfoco delegate from Franklin county, introdu
ced a resolution denotincing the sermons is trea
sonable and refusing to permit W. Hata to 'con
duct the religious. exercises of the Convention.—
The rearlqtion, alter some debate, was laid on the
table TimrsarMr. - -Mstz's attempting - is open the
sessions of the Convention. as usual, with prayer,
he was kissed by the Local:ice members, and to
prevent a disturbance the Convention resolved to
dispense with religious exercises altogether ! This
is "progressive" Locokreoisin to some purpose.—
President Polk thaws trams upon all freemen
virlier will not servilely accord to him the merit of
infal)
bility, and the Illinois Convention.would put
aMock on the lips of all ministers of the Gospel
of Peace who dare to obey the injunction of their
Divine Master 'and-proclaim the whole truth. The
Jacobins of the French Revolution, annoyed by
the rebukes of this same Gospel upon their deeds
of blocid and crime, voted Religion to be a "Hum
bug" Illinois Locofocoism will require but little
ailvaneement in its "progressive" career to arrive
at a similar conclusion. ... .. .

are the "brethren" of any party in this country,

Wit was but natural, says the I.ouirrilleJour

proud of the .spectaele preluded by his country
two year.; ago. Then every thing wore the smile
of promise * Heaven blessed the soil with abund
ant harvests ; and Ithe people were cheerful and
hippy. An evil and malicious fiend alone could
tin to enkiy a prospect so eminently pleasing ;
and yet our rulers were diseeniented. Their cu
pidity waa tired whenever they turned their atten
tion to Mexico. Burning with an unholy luit to
appropriate the possessions of a weak neighbor,
they got up winiserable pretext for a war, and un
dertook to sustain it with such logic as hypocrisy
suggests and the devil approves. The object of
the war is conquest, and the effect of it has been
to disturb the universal harmony, and to rend
thousands of hearts with deepest agony. If Mex
ico be annexed she cannot reward us for the
bloood, treasure, and sacrifice of happiness the at
tempt to conquer her has already cost us; on the
contrary, she will he a burden on the energies

Tists"—e truth as sdlemp as it is impor
tant, and yet how small the number who
act with-promptness and decision in cases
of the most vital 'importance. When dis
ease invades ,the physical frame, no time
should be lost. in procuring th e r i g ht med
icine at once, and get cured without delay.
For chronic constitutional diseases, such
as Rheumatism, King's Evil, Scrofula, af
fecting the glands, obstinate Cutaneous E
ruptions, Ulcers, White Swellings, En
largement and Pain of the Bones, and oth
er similar diseases, SANDS' SARSAPARILLA
has heen found innumerous instances to be
nn efficient remedy, operating mildly and
pleasantly on the general system, purifying
and cleansing the vital fluids, giving tone
and energy to the nervous system, and Im
parting stamina to the debilitated frame:—
Numbers who have taken it merely with
a view of alleviating their sufferings, have
I by using it a short time, to their infinite
pleasure and delight, rapidly improved in
health, until it has become fully established.
