The committce on resolutions made the following ly adopted :— © feature in the political veratic party of the United report, which was unani Whereas, The dist reed of the groat dem: States is a confding trust in the inte! patriotism, and the discriminating justice of tho Americen peo) and, Whereas, tlic time has arrived when it behooves the democracy of the State of Texas to organize, and, by united action, to rally to the support of those great principles which lie at the foundation of @ government springing from and upheld by popu- dar will: therefore, igence, the this convention, That tho democratic party of the State ef Texas, coming to- getherina spirit of concord and devotion to the doctrines and faith of a free representative govern- ment, do now avow aud re-assert, before the Amo- rican people, the following deciaration of principles raya by the Nationa! Democratic Convention of 1, That the feder: overnmentis ons of limited y from the constitution, and hown therein ought to be y ail the departments and nt; and that it is inoxpe- as to exercise doubtful constitu- tion does not confer upon nent the power to commence stem of internal improve- the general gor andcarry ona g ments. 3. That the constitution docs not confer authority upon the federal government, directly or indirectly, to assume the debts of several States, contrasted for loca! interna! improve ts, or other State pur- poses; nor would such an assumption be just and expedient That j ¢ ond sound policy forbid the feda- Yal government to foster one branch of industry to the detriment of another, or to chorish the interest of one postion to t) portion of our commen country; thay every citizen and every Section of the co’ has the right to demand and insist upon an equality of rights and privileges, and to complote and ample protection of person and property from demestic violoncs or foreign aggres- sion. 5. That it is the duty of every branch of the go- Vernment to enforce and practice the most rigid economy in conducting our public affairs, and that mo more revenue cughtto be raised than is ro- quired to defray the nocossary expenses of the go- vernment, and for the gradual but certain extino- tion of the debt created by the prosecution of a just ‘War. 6, That Congress bas no pewor to charter 9 na- tional bark. ‘That elieve such an institution one of a deadly host: othe best interest of the country, dar sto our republican institutions and the liber the people, and caleulated to country withia the control ‘ey power, and above ithe neonle; and that the re- tation, IM Vile wud oll ures upon which issues have 6 two political parties of the strated to candid and prasti- cal menof all pa their soundness, safety and in all business pursuits. Phat Congress bas no power under the con- stitution to interfere with or control tho domestic institutions of th veral States, and that sach the cole proper judges of everything appertaining to their own affairs, not prohibited by the conatitution; that all efforts of the abolitionists or othere, made to induce Congress to interfere with questions of slavery, or to take incipient steps in reiation thereto, are calculated to lead to the most alarming and dangerous consequences; and thatall euch efforte have an inevitable tendeney to diminish the happinces of the people, and endanger the stability and permanency of the Union, and ought not to be countenanced by any friend of our political institutions. 8. That the separation of the moneys of the goverrmert from banking institutions, is indispen- sible for the safety of the funds of the government and the rights of the pesple : %, That the liboral principles embodied by Jef- ferson in the Declaration of Independence, and ganctioned in the coxstitution, which makes ours the land of liberty, end the asylum ot the opprossed of every nation, have ever been cardinal principles in the democratic fe and every attempt to abridge the prerent vilege of becoming citizens and owners of soil among us, ought to be resisted with the same spirit which ewep: the alien and se- dition laws from our statute books. ‘That the measures passed by the last Congress of the United States, lly known as “the compromise act are regarded by the democracy of Texas, asa final adjustment of the dangerous and vexed questions they embrace. That the principles contained in §tho Virginia and Kentucky resolutions of 1798, aro fully recog- nized by this convention, as presenting a true expo- sition of the constitutional rights of the States and of the general government under the federal compact, and that they are equally oppozed to con- Solidation, secession, and disnnion. That the democracy of Texas do present to the favorable consideration of the great demoer: party of the United St. feneral Sam Houston, the hero of San Jacinto, as a patriot, chieftain, and statesman, eminently worthy to be the standard bearer of the party in the approaching canvass for the Presidency; and whilo we would hail his nomi- Bation witk proud satisfaction, we pledge our warm and hearty support to the nominee of the Democra- tic National Convention. ‘Tho committee on nominations reported Lemuel D. Evans, of Harrison county, and Guy M. | of Brazoria county, as Electors for the ‘ Large, and George W. Smyth, of Jaeper county, for the Firet, and liobert S.

The lowa Land bill, pending before the Senate, is by far the most important measure ponding in Congress at this time. The bill grants alternate rections of land to lewa to construct cortain rail- roads in that State. The old S:ates resist, with illiberal pertinacity, all such dispositions of the public domain, and insist that they aro entitled to an equal portien of all the public lands. The new States, wherein there are government lands, con- tend that it would be unjust te make any Stato tho owner of soil within their bounds, and tend to re. tard their ecttlement and progress. Mr. Under- wood, of Kentucky, has offered the following amendment to the lowa bil Be it enacted, $c., That there shall be granted to the States nemed in this section, for purposes of education and of internal improvement, so much of the public do- main as is specified for each—that is to say, to the State of iu@, £55 040 acres: to the '60 eeres, Btate of M Rhode Island, 147 520 acres; 570,580 acres; to the Btate of New York, 3,697,280 acres; to the State of New Jersey, 450 280 wares; to the Btate of Pennsylvania, 231 €9 > the va; to State of Bou Vin ‘orth Carolina, 753,2¢ 61 sores; to the Beate of Georgia, 743,280 ‘acres; to Of Tennessee, 906,560 sores; to the Btate of Kentucky, 897,020 acres; which land, so granted, shall be located in parcels covformably to sectional diri- sions and subdivisions, of not less than 820 acres in any one location, if so much can be had on any public land, except such to which a right of pre-emption may have Attached. or such as may be reserved from rale by any Jaw of Congrers or proclamation of the President of the United States; which said locations may be made at any time after the lands shall have been surveyed according to'existing laws, And it shall be lawfut for the Governors Of said States respectively to appoint one or more agents to locate the lands granted as eforeeaid for the State of which he is the Governor. Suci locaticne, shall be governed by such rules and regula- tions as the Secretary of the Interior may. from time to time, prescribe; and when the lands foreach State have | been located and selected, patents therefor shall be is- sued to the Siate entilied to the same, And be it further enacted, That the lands granted to the States, according to the preceding section, shali be disposed ¢f by said States respectively in such manner as their respective Legisisturee may direct. Provided, however, That no portion of ssid lands shall be sold at | less than $1 25 per acre, until otherwise authorized by a | Jaw cf the United States,and the net proceeds of the tales of said lauds shail be faithfully applied to objects of internal imvrovement, or to purposes of education, orto both, as the Legisiatures of ibe States rr tively owning the lands gravted may direct : Provide That all roads, railways, bridges, canals, a courses, whicn shall be exclusively built, constructe improved by the funds srising from the disposition said lands, tball be free for the transportation of tho | | United States mail and munitions of war, and for the pateage of their troops without the payment of any toll whatever, And be it further enacted, That it shell be lawful for the agents afcressid, or any one of theia, in selecting jJands and making locations for his State, to select and locate apy of the alternate sections, or any part thereof which’may have been or may hereafter be reserved from sale by any act of Congress granting lands in uid of the construction of any railroad or canal whatever: Pro- Yided, however, That in locating any such section, or part of section, the Btate, fur whose benefit it may be feleoted or located, shall be charged with, and the tity of land granted to such Btate shail be dimic by double the quantity of acres contained in ti rerved recti part of section, thus selected and lo- cuted, Netbing in the Isat three sections contained the iccation of any lands grantea by of them, within the limits of the State x the territories of New Mexico, Utah, them, or eithe: cf California, ard Oregon, Tf it be carried, it will cause the failure of the bill. The Senators from the now State:, it is un- derstood, held a caucus to compare notes and de- vise concerted action. Upon the fate of tho lowa bill deponds all the railroad land bills before Con- gress. Various measures aro spoken of hero in relation to the sottlement of public claim. One is the establishment of a board of commissionors here, but itis believed it cannot pars The lato Board of Commissioners on Mexican claims; and their pro- ecedings has created such want of confiden-e, and such great alarm, that it is believed no new board, of any kind, can be established bere. Many con- tend it would be but increasing federal patronage andcreaiing places for wortbices political hacks, who, if they kept honest, would be mere treasury buzzards. Our New Orleans Correspondence ANS, Jan. 27, 1s: ’ S& Senator—Mississ Peliticc—Kossuth and the Intervention Party— The Batture Case in Ni Railroad Co ventim—Texas Rail Legislature—Crime in New Or! cals—Cold Weather, &c. Our State Legislature was safely delivered, yes- terday, ofan United States Senator, and great was the rejoicing among the whigs of the city. Tho Senator electis the Hon. J. P. Ber in, Who ro- ceived G38 votes, ardihe Hon. S. W. that expiredinstead of Downs’. The friends of the latter console themselves with the hope that he willsucceed Soule, who has not a dying man’s | & chance of ever being re-elected. Mr. Benjamin's term is for six years, and commences on the 4th of March, 185: The Mississippi Legislature has made no choice yet to fill the vacancies of Foote and Davis, in the United States Senate. Mr. Mcliae, who was ap- pointed by the late Governor to fill Col. Joff. Da- vis’ seat until the Legislature met, is a hot dis- unionist, and of course will soon be called home. It is thought the Legislature will appoint Stephen Adams (dem. ), of Monroe county, formerly a mem- ber of Congress, and Col. Sam. Boyd (whig), of Natobez, to fill the vacancies. Tho election will take place on 16th February. There can hardly be said to be any whig party nowin Mississippi. They have nearly all merged into Union men. At the same time, however, there are a few of the old federalists, who still cling tothe name, but not to the distinguishing features of thsir party. ey 2 most singular political phenomenon now oxists in Miesiseippi. The democratic party is in favor of Mr. Buchanan for the Presidency, while the whigs express a preference for Mr. Cass! It is thought that no delegates from this State will be sent to the whigconvention. At least they will first await the action of the Union democrats. I perceive that the Senate of your Stato has passed intervention revolutions. The subject is be- ginning to be agitated in the Southwest. Lhe doe- trine is cgi alr and many now make bold to assert that Mr. Monroc’s doctrine as regards this continent, in relation to foreign interference, should be extended to ether countries. There ia now hardly a doubt but that Kossuth, in Le Mort through the Southwestern States, will, by his soul- stirring and eloquent appeals, raise an intervention party, which will be compdsed of whigs and demo- nd who will support as their candidate for 5 sy, Robert J. Walker, of Mississippi. will yet become a large and influential Kossuth may already be said to have six I think party. States in his favor—Wisconsin, Obio, lowa, Mis- souri, Pennsylvania and Texas, which are con- trolled by the German vote—bosides New York, which hi roady 29 good as committed herself. Again: The “ lone etar order,” which is daily be- coming more powerful and influential, warmly ad- vocates Koseuth s doctrines, ani will make itself felt. It would certainly bo a curious state of things to see a Natienal Iotervontion Convention. This party, if raised, should it advocate the oxtreme doctrine of Kossuth, ‘ armed interference,” would | be eure to meoct with the samo fate of the ** Native American party,” which | doubt not is the most politic of the two, for the welfare of this country. The celebrated Vatturo case, which has boen so long ponding between the heirs of Veslonde and others, against Municipality No. 2, has been finally amicably adjusted by oo thd ‘The suit in- volved the whole front of the city along the river bark, from Canal streot up nearly a mile, and esti- matcd to be worth threo millions of dollars. Tho fale is to take place on the 15th of March next, under the ivetructions of the Finance Committee of the Second Municipality. f The Mississippi Railroad Convention, which lately adjourned at Jackson, adopted the following resolutions-— Resolved, That the New Orleans and Jaskeon Railroad should be extended from Jackson, through the State, by the most central end practicable route, to the State line, vo as to unite with uch road or roads as may be pro- jected thence, and designed to connect Nashville, Tenn. with any great central railroad improvement through Mirsireipp!, connecting Nashville and New Urleans. Kerolved, That we recommend the parrage of an act, su therizing and requizing the Governor (whenever any company shall have giaded and prepered any railroad within the State, a distance of ten sailes or more, ready for the iron.) to purchase the iron for such portion of the read, out of any money in the Treasury not otherwire ap propriated ; and (hat the State ehell be entitled to stock tae road. In proportion te the amount of such expea- iture, Cel. Kinney, of the Texas Senate, has introduced ® billin the Texas Logiglature io incorporate @ company te builda railroad from some suitable priee on Arensas, or Corpus Christi Bay, up the tio Grande, with branches to the eastern part of the State. Should it pass, it will increasethe value of the lands at Corpus Christi and the adjacent country @ hundred fold.

According to our police reports, fraud, robbery, and ratcality, are flourishing extonsively in our city. A Colifornian named J R. Walsh, who had deposited the bulk of bis gold at the mint, having heard of the ewindling operations carried on by pretending buyers of gold dust, eutered one of these concerns, the other day, to satisfy his ouriosi- ty, and discovered that the operandi was performed by means o/ a false tube in the fannol in which the dust was poured.

The latter may be mistaken and may not be, in the cause or provocation; but be ehows honor, sincerity, and a dagree of high- mind:dness that commands, at least, a measure of res- | pect. though he may or may not be justifiable in com- witting the deed. 1f the statements concerning Gover- nor Young's sixteen wives and fourteen young children be true, he walks or rides in broad daylight with them— | ip not ashamed of them, but henors aud respects them, | Contrest this conduct with that of some other men— even men in high places, who are looked up to a3 honor- able men—cven statesmen aud philosophers, and some | (speak it lightly) Isurned divines uot excepted, who may | bave many women, and keep them ina secret and dis- honorable wey.

If in C) himself were falfilled the words of Isaiah :—= “Le shall see his seed, he shell prolong his days, and | the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his banda,” | the Christian world are not mistaken in their opinion.

If there was not a familiarity and an attacbment between the Saviour and there women highly improper, only in the relation o! husband and wife. then we have no sense of propriety, or of the characteristics of good and refined society. Wisely was it then concealed; but when the Saviour poured out his soul unto death, when nailed to the cross, he raw hir seed cr children; but who shail de- clare his generation? No one, if he had none to be de- clared.
