Jehn McRae, for Governor; A. B, Dilworth, for Secretery of State; Madison Meation; for Auditor of Publie Accounts; S. L. Hussy, for state Treasurer. ‘Ihe Committee on Resolutions reported the following, which were unanimourly adopted:— 1, Resolved, That this convention adopts and re-aflirma the resolutions of the Natiooal Democratis Couvention, held at Baltimore in 1852, aad deems it peculiarly ap- propriate at this time to re-produee for public consider- atlon tte following of these resolutions, to wit :— Resolved, That the American demosracy plice their trust inthe intelligence, the patriotirm, and the dis criminating justice of the American people. Rerolved, that we regard tris as a distinctive feature of our poktical creed, before the world as from and upbeld by the papu- Jar will; and we con’ it with the creed ans practices of federalism, uncer whatever name or form, which aceks to paley the will of the constituent, aud which coments uo imposture too monstrous tor the popular credulity, * ‘That the liberol privciples embedied by ‘Jefferson in the Declaratioy of Independence, and sanctioned in the sinterfere with 01 constitution, which mascs ours ihe Jand of liberty und the asylum of the oppressed of every nation, have ever been cardinal principles in the democratic faith ; and every stiempt to abridge the privilege of becoming citi- vens and the owners of soil among ua ought to be reeist- ed with the same spirt which swept the alem and sedi- tien laws from cur statute books. That Cong resa has po power ander the constitution to tro! the domestic institutions of the several ftate: thet such States are the sole and preper judgea of everything appertaining to their own affaira not prohibited by the constitution; that all ef. forts of the abolitionists or oibers made to induce Con- gress to interfere with quentions of slavery, or to take incipient steps in relation thereto, are caleulsted to lead to the most alarming and cangerous consequences, and such efforts bave an inevitab'e* tendency to di winish the happ‘nesa of the people and endi the stability and permanency of the Union, and ought not to be countenanced by any ,friend of our political instita- tions. Resolved, That the foregoing proposition covers, and was intended to embrace, the whole subject of slavery agitation in Congrees: and tuerefore the democratic party of the Unicn, jing op this national plat/ora, ‘will abide by and achere to a faithful exccation of the acts known as the compromise measures settied by the Jast Congrecs, the “act for reclaiming fugitives from ser vice or labor’? inctuded, whieh act being designed to carry cut anexpress provision of the constitation, cao not with fidelity thereto be repealed, or s0 changed ss to destroy or impair its efficiency. Resolved, That the democratic party will resist all at- tempts at renewing, in Copgress or ont of it, the ugita- tion of the slavery question, under whatever shape or color the attempt may be made. 2, Resolved, That we are opposed to the secret politi- cal organization, commonly known as the “Know: Nothing party :? 1,— Because its proceedings are conducted in sesrosy, and its principles and its candidates are shroaded in myetery and concealment, and shun the light of day and the test of free discussion aud examination. ?.—Becaure its members are bound by solemn oaths toa blind cbedience to dictates of others in their itical 3 ions. 3.— Because it enjoys the denial of the trath, incul- and promotes msincerity and duplicity, aud atides the bold, open, manly condact and conversation which chsracterize the man of honor and freeman. 4.—Becauso it creates an orgaulzed band of secrat spies in every community to watch jthe conduct ani ich the words of the unsuspecting, to be repo their secret eianiths councily, and mee the fuandation of persoval and political proscription and persscution, Oo icame it fg Centructive of sosial conficenoce, aud of all that is deor acd valuable in the social relation 6 —Becavee it makes religion a test of quslification for office, in viola of the constitution, and to the en- dering cf ill-will and strife among religious sects, to the disgrace ef religion, and to the disturbance of the public peace. 7. Because it excludes all persona of mois birth, of every grace and chéracter, from all political righte ani preferment, repudiating the policy of the founders of the Republic, and proclaiming that America sbail no Jonger be * the arylnm for the oppressed of all nations ” 8. Because it unites Southern men in filial party bends and political organization with the worst elements of Northern fepaticiem,and forces*them to yield souate- nance to the Cangerous, destructive, and disgeacefal movemerte cf sbolitioniam. 9. Because it prohibite in eptrit, if not in terma, any resistance by toe Southern States to Northorn aggres- tion or unconstitutiopal oppression. 10. Because its organization and mode of proceeding, its aims and objects, ita form and spirit, are subversive of those great pr.aciples of civil and religions liberty which have ever been, and we trust wil! ever continue to be, tne pride and boast of the American peopl. 3. Resolved, That we consider it the duty of every pat riot who loves the constitution and the Caicc—of every citizen who regar’s the peace, order. and dignity of society—of every Christian who advocates the liberty of copacience and of religious worship—of © trae southern man who is determined to maintain to the last extremity the ¢qasi rights of the South under the con- stitution to uvite in the overthrow of this mischievous and dangereus party. 4. Resolved, That wo respectfully, but earnestly, vrge our brother democrats who have joined this secret Order to re-consider their a id withdraw from an arsociation which contains the eloments of so muco mischief and danger, and which, if it triumphs at all must triumph over that time hovored party wita wich usey have teen so long and intimately connected. and over their old triende with whom they have stood shoal ¢er to shoulder in 90 many hard-fought fields of politi- cal warfare 6.

Morrisania June 5, 1855. The first and the teat cause, I bel‘eve, in this county, brought to recover penalties for seKioz Nquor without license under the Jaw since the first Monday of May last, came off at M’Graw’s Hall, in this place, before Justice Pardy, yes'erday; and +s several suits were pending against divers personsi» the town, it created some considerable interest. The snit was brought by tke overseers of the poor of the town cf West Farms, agaisst Mr. Jefferson Lovis, proprietor of the West Farms Hotel. The action was for alleged violations of the 16th section of the Revieed Statates, entitled “of excise and the rega- lation of taverna and groceries,” whi h provides in subetance, that whoever shajl sell any strong o: *pirituous liquors, to be drauk om his premises in quantities of Jess than five galions, withous having ® licenee thereto: as a tavern keeper, shali forfeit twenty-five dollars.

The defend- ent’s couveel declined calling avy wituesses, and wertto the jary. Mr. Beily’s argument cn the part of the defence, which occupied upwaros of an hour, and was mostly cor fined to the Jaw of tue case, it is conceded 02 a'! tides, was ore of abiiitty. He reviewed the bistory of intoxicating liquors, and of legislation in reference to them, to s.ow that the sate of ligaor was free by the ccmmon law, and that the principal object of the statute on which the action was based, was not prohibition, bat to subject aa:es and licen sea to toxation; and contended that the tweaty-fitth section of the Maive law now in force, by abolishing the statute authorising licenses to tavern keepers to sell Hiqucr, in effect repealed the : estrictive sections of the ssme statute, es they were mere auxiliaries jp aid of such principal onject. He urged this point with much force and clearness, and eeemed to rely on it se bis principal defexce. He waa followed on the seme side by Mr. Sorat ley, who ably ard ingeniously criticised the tes‘t- meer contending that defendant was not cognizant of. sales provid.

In an old brick well inthe centreof the yard was a pile of burning faggot mixed with old account books, in which the detailsof Mr. Touro’s have been receded for the lest forty or fifty years. The process of bur: had already continued to days, and there was still a cart load left. Amongst them wes a volume ot his “ dence with nis friend BStepberd,” whi:h bis ls might desire to have preserved, unless destroyed, like ths rest, b: bis positive orders.

The plaim truth is, that the present New Hampsbire Legisiature, so far as the majority is concerved, is composed of men of more than average intel'ect, and when such men look coolly at » matter that may lead to trouble, it ia as Rood as settled. There is much gained by sending men of sense to the Legisiatare. It waa by sending 80 many flats into our State House, that the A nori can party cf Massachusetts got into so confounded asnarl about none, grass widows, and committees of investigation. The Know Somethings kept their intention of having represen‘atives at the Cleveland coxveatiou very close. Lhst Gov. Boutweil is one of the dsie- gates, proves to be true what I stated some monthe ago, that he bad joined the new organization. He ie a free tracer, and will have noth'ng to do with the protection dodge, though the Cleveland plat. form ts said to embody thst emasculated hambag: He is but one ont of thousands of the Masaschusetts demccrate who will have no part nor lot in the p-o. }eeed new coalition which the Boston Post is urg- ing so vehemently. By the way, the Governor has given up his old business, and is preparing, ot thirty eight, to become a lawyer. As he is abie to Jive without labor, I can’t comprehend his conduv It is too much like the old joke of leaving off work and going to sawing wood, for my taste. To do no thing is the beight of human felicity. Thave spoken of Gov. Boatwell as if he ware one of the deb gates at Cleveland, bas as I have him bat recently, ard have heard of hia being at heme during the last two or three days, I am in- clined to think the telegraph is wrong in reporting him at Cleveland. He can only be there in ths spirit. ‘The rupture in the American Couzcil at Pails delphia was so mach expected, perhaps desired, by many kere, that it has not created much excite- ment. Things now pvint to the formation of a “Republican” party in Maseachusetts, the prospects fer which are better than they were a twelvemouth ago, when the first movement in that divestion was undertaken. Theadministration men are confident of national success, even if General Pierce shoud be their candidate. But we can hardly suppose that Providence basso far abandoned us as that would imply. The democratic party may maintain Ita hold of power, as a consequence of the inability of ita foes to unite, but we may be permitted to hope that it will find itself ocmpelled so far to defer to public opinion as to make a complete change of eaders. If the South is to save the democracy fiom defeat, it would lay the North under great obligations if it should demand the nomination of new men. The Jannch of the Merrimac was a very succ2sd- fu\ sffair, and, we chuckle some over haviag got ahead of the constructors of her sister frigates. Rothing, however, can be inferred as to her futare career from the success that has thus far attended her. The Constitution, that Inckiest of lucky shiys, is said to bave stuck fast when it was first dtempt- ed to launch ber, an accident which alone preveated her from being the first ship of war that was got into the water uncer the new organization of the Bavy. The crowd that assembled to see the launch was very great. They do say, but perhaos it is scards!, that a booth for the eale of liquor was ailowed to be put up inthe yard, which is the proper'y of our common uncle, and not subjest to the Jaws of Msssacuusztts. Certain it is, that weakness of the legs and dizziness-of tha head were very common complaints on the occasion; but perhaps they were owing to an excess of enshu. siastic feeling consequent on 8 patriotic contem piation of cur pavel greatcess. It is not very likely that naval gectlemen would co enyshing offsnsive to the epirit of the law. Nitwitbatarding tho dulnces of the times, the growth and change of Boston goes on as rapidly ss éver—perbaps more sapidly than ever. In the Bouthern part of the city tae spirit of eee is especially busy, and the buildings thera in course of construction are fine specimens of arcni*e:ture.
