Mr. Dickinson rose, and in a very dec

proffered to him throughout his life, an
sspecially that-highest honor, which tb
Suite of Virginia?the Old Dominionhad,
by the voice of her democracy, to tli
extent of her influence hi this confederacy

with a shower of bouquets irom the ladies

He proceeded to speak honorably and re
spectfully of all the candidates, but for him
self disclaimed the honor aud pleaded fu
compromise for the sake T>f union. Ten
dering his thanks to the convention fo
the favor with which lie had been heart
he sat down.
A gentleman of Virginia said, that fift
years ago a man of N. Carolina Lad sai<
that the presidency was an office neitln
to be sought nor refused; and the fa<
that Mr. Dickinson now declined the hoi
or waa the strongest argument in favor <
pressing it upon his acceptance.
On calling the 35th ballot, Rhode Islan

New York.
On announcing the Georgia vote Co
Douglass, Mr. James Jackson, of that Stat

Another of the delegation asserted tha

to the last speaker as being on both dele

The Virginia Delegation retired for cor

curred nntll the 40th mllot, pend1n|
which the delegation from Kentucky w

After the 47th ballot, a motion to adr. I
journ until the afternoon, was made and ]
lost. A motion was then made by Mr. ?
- Delany, of Wisconsin, to adjourn sine die,
and each State make its own nomination, r
, The question, however, was not put. ]
On the 48th bnllot General Pierce ob- i
tained 55 votes. The 49th and last ballot
then commenced. 1
J On the State of North Carolina being i
1 called, Mr. Dobbin of that delegation,rose, J
and, after some remarks, voted for Mr. <.
* Pierce, amidst considerable applause,when
0 Alabama also cast her vote for Mr. P.,and 1
- Massachusetts changed her vote in his fa- ?
j yor, which was added to by tho vote of t
t Mississippi and others. The excitement
in the Convention rose to a tolerably high
degree. When New York was called in
her turn, she voted as on the preceding c
* i ballot, but before the vote was announced, 1
1 | she changed her vote and gave her thirty- 4
1 | five votes for Pierce, amidst immense cheer-1
nig. Attcr winch the l'cnnsylvania and
' | Indiana delegates asked leave to retire for
I consultation.
I While they wero out, Alabama, New
3 j Jersey, Missouri, Vermont, Arkansas, and
other States, changed their votes for Pierce.
? The excitement became von- great as one
State after another changed their votes
for tho New Hampshire candidate.
Senator Bright, of Indiana, addressed
the Convention, and at tho close gave the
vote of Indiana for Gen. Pierce.
Mr. Sevmour and Mr. Dickinson, of
. New York, addressed the Convention in
favor of Mr. Pierce.
Col. Black, of Pennsylvania, addressed
' the Convention in favor of Gen. Pierce, after
which Gov. Porter, of that State, gave
the entire vote of the State for him, by, as
he said, the direction of a majority of the
. delegation.
Mr. Soule, of Louisiana, and others ad
dressed the Convention.
The excitement during the delivery of
' the speeches and announcement of the
change of votes was so great that it was
impossible to hear near all that was said
. and done ; the members were all on their
. feet, most of them standing on the benches.
When the Michigan vote was cast for
Gen. Pierce, the chairman of that delega- !
tion sftirl Gail- Pierrn was naHimilarlv ni?- I
ccptable to Gen. Cuss. '
Finally, before the last threo or four
States, in the oriler of voting, had been '
- called, and of course before the vote on 1
. tho 40th ballot was announced, all the '
States changed their votes in favor of Gen.
^ Pierce, except Ohio.

tESOLVTIONS OF THB DEMOCRATIC NATIONBffl
AL CONVENTION.
Resolvedj That the American democra- m
y place their trust in the Intelligence, the j
mtriotism, and the discriminating justiee wj|j
>f the American people. v
Resolved, That wo regard this as a yjr
listinctive feature of our political creed, r '
vhich we are proud to maintain before the j8ja
vorld, as the great moral element in a
oim of government, springing trom and atjc
ipheld by the popular will; nnd we con- tQC
:ontrast it with the creed nnd practice of Rm]
ederalism, under whatever name or foim,
vhich seels to palsy the will of the con- UD0
titucnt, and which conceives no impoa:uro
too monstrous for the popular cred- sar
1'ty. _ # rica
Resolved, therefore, That, entertaining
hese views the democratic party of this OJ.
Union, through their delegates assembled Rj(j
n a general convention of the Stptes, com- j
ng together in a spirit of concord, of a?j0
levotion to the doctrines and faith of a
ree representative government, and ap- j-()r
waling to their fellow citizens for the recitudo
of their intentions, renew and re- ^jon
issert before the American- people, the
leclaration of principles avowed by them {la>
vlien, on former occasions, in general C0JJ
invention, they presented their candi- ^ ,
lates for the popular suffrages. " ,i.?
1. That the federal government is one | 1 j
>f limited powers, derived solely from the
constitution, and the grants of power made j,
therein ought to be strictly construed by jUCI
*11 the department and agents of the go-1 tjc
rcrnment; -ind tlint it is inexpedient and tjjC
langerous to exercise doubtful constitu- rj^j
Lional powers. unj,
2. That the constitution does not confer a(jv
upon the general government the power j)V
to commence and carry on a general sys- (,xc|
tern of internal improvements. few
3. That the constitution doca not confer B vj
authority upon the federal government, j)rjr
directly or indirectly to assume the debts tj|>r
of the several States, contracted for local lo t
internal, improvements, or other State js }
purposes; nor would such assumption be fu'|j
just and expedient.
4. That uisticc and sound policy forbid q
the federal government to foster one ,1;^
branch of industry to the detriment of any Inel
other, or to cherish the interest of one por- w|,j
tion to the injury of another portion of
our common country; that every citi- j^a
sen, and every section of the country ; has to T
a right to demand and insist upon an cojj
equality of rights and privileges, and to j
complete and ample protection of persons t;or
and property from domestic violence or j
5. That it is the duty of every branch j
of the government to enforce and practise | ]
the most rigid economy in conducting our ^
public atlairs, and that no more revenue j
ought lo be raised than is required to! en^
defray the necessary expenses of the gov- j :Q
eminent, and for gradual but certaiu extiuction
of the public dcbi. jj 1
0. That Congress has no power to char-1 wj|(
ler a national bank ; that we believe such ' j (,x
*n institution one of deadly hostility to jn j
:he liest interests of the country, danger- n|uj
>us to our republican institutions and the I g
iberties of the |?eople, and calculated to _r|M
dace the business of the country within i
he control of a concentrated money pow-1 ^
;r, and above the laws and the will of I r 0
Jie people; and that the result of demo- I 1
:ratic legislation,in this and all other tinan- ! ? v
ial measures upon which issues have been Cunf
nade lietween tho two political parties
>f the country,* have been demonstrated
o candid and practical men of all parties
heir soundness, safety and utility in all j.
jursuits. ]
7 That the separation of the moneys j j
>f the government from banking instituLions
is indispensable for the safety of the 0jr,
funds of the government and the rights of' wj4j
the people. . J to n
8. That the liberal princ'ples embodied j
by Jefferson in the Declaration of Inde-1 y ,
pendence, and sanctioned in the Constitu- ;
Lion, which makes ours the land of liberty, i c0j(
and, the asylum of every nation,have ever p (
been cardinal principles in the Deinocra- (
Lie faith ; and every attempt to abridge :
Lhe present privilege of be coming citizens
?nd the owners of soil among us, ought y
to be resisted with the same spirit which m>n
iwept tho alien and sedition laws from > #nj
mr statute books.
9. That Congress has no power tinder ( thot
lhe Constitutions of tho several States, j nn,i
?nd that such States are the sole and j I)OT
proper judges of everything appertaining I othi
to their own atfaiis, not prohibited by the In^
institution ; that all efforts of the abo- jt
itionists or others made to induce Con- pi0l
jrress to interfere with questions of slavery, Gry
>r to take incipient steps in relation there- by t
Lo, are calculated to lead to the most accl
darming and dangerous consequences; it.ng
ind thatall such efforts have an inevitable
tendency to diminish the happiHees of the ^
rieople. and endancrer the stabilitv an/1
permanency of the Union, an<l outfit not ' ?*
lo l>e countenanced by any friend of our t'1?
political institutions. dene
Resolved, Thnt the foregoing propo- "
lition covers and waa intended to embrace ^ l'
iie whole subject of slavery agitation in v^?11
Congress, and therefore- tho Democratic an'(^1
jarty of tho Union, standing upon this na- ;mm

as constituting one of the main foundins
of its political creed, and is resolved
arrv them out in their obvious meaning

Resolved, That the War with Mexico,
n all the principles of patriotism and
laws of nations, was a just and necesf
war on our part, in w hich every Amen
citizen should have shown himself on
side of his country, and neither morally
liisically, by word or deed, have given
and comfort to the enemy.
Resolved, That we rejoice at the restorm
of friendly relations with our sister
mblic of Mexico, and earnestly desire
her all the blessings and prosperity
ch we enjoy under Republican instituis,
and we congratulate the Amercan
pie upon the results of that war, which
e so manifestly justified the policy and

the United States "indemnity for

reso/iW, That in view of the condition

igh and sacred duty is devolved with
eased responsibility upon the Democraparty
of this country as the party of

its of every State, and thereby the

one of the well informed correspondi
of the llallimoro Sun, front which
rnal we have principally made up die
going synopsis, gfty8 tliat Gen. lrankfierce
is the son of a revolutionary hero,
> fought in the battles of Hunker's Hill,
ington and Concord. He was born
804 at Hillsborough, NcwIIainpshire,
graduated at Howdoiu College, Maine
tudied law, and commenced a lucrative
:tice in Hillsborough County. He was
ted at ait early day to the Legislature
is State4 and shortly after elected Speakf
the House.
n 1834 he was elected to Congrss,
vli ich boby he filled a prominent and
ipicuous place until 1838, at which
od he became a Senator of the UniLed
ics, anil served until 1842-d. He relOtl
hm seat in the Senate, and returned
trivute lite and the practice of the law
843.
n 1842 he was nominated for Govenor
ic State, but declined. President Polk
red him the Attorney Generalship,
ch he also declined, preferring private
>ublic life.
ii 1848, he volunteered, acording to
as a solditr, not as an officer, in the
dean war, and was appointed the first
r>ncl of the ten momenta then raised
die service of the lJqited States. Suplently,
when a number of new Major
lerals wi re appointed, he was made a
;adicr General.
? further says that General Pierce's
lintion is a thoroughly National one,
that the friends of General Cass prefer
to all others as a second choice, and
teof Mr. lhichanan are equally satisfied,
it is thought that he will unite the
nocratic party more fully than any
t Candidate. This view, the Washon
Union seems also to entertain, as
ates that the nomination of General

amation of enthusiasm throughout the

From Washington. " 1
bill
Correspondence of tlte Charleston Courier, ent
Washington, June 8. wlt
Tbo House passed a joint resolution 1
for terminating the present session of Con- aPI
grew on the 16th day of August. The
vote was unanimous on this proposition. *c*
The members had previously consulted WH
upon the day and agreed to the 16th. m?
The term allowed is ample lor the dispatch
of all tlie necessary public business. The ^
Appropriation bill will go through with- f?T
out much debate. exceDt unon nolitical u
questions. The River and Har{*>r bill
will be debated, aa usual, very thoroughly, *?n
and especially in view of the position of an<
the two great parties on the subject ol SB
internal improvements by the general /
Government. The Homestead bill is to j
bo discussed in the Senate, and there amen* t
ded, if not rejected. Mr. Hunter's Curen*
cy bill is to be discussed, and probably
passed, in the House. A vast number I
of bills have been prepared which will not
pass, nor even be taken up. The ten J
weeks left for the session would hang
heavily on the hands of Congress but for ^
the relief which tho discussion of matters
touching the presidential conflict will af- W
ford. After tho Whig Convention and Mi
nomination, there will be occasional de- mj
bates, in both Houses, on the subject of
the merits of tho respective platforms and 4
nominees of the two parties.
The Democrats in Congress seem to bo
delighted with their ticket, and the Whigs
seem to think that it is not only very
resectable, but hard to beat. The Whigs
will, nevertheless, try it. Tho first step W
they have to take is the most difficult one =
?and that is to unite the party. It .
lacks cohesive power, and, between its .
Northern ami Southern sections, there is
much repulsion. Still, it is thought that, c
as the Democracy now shows a united
front, the Whigs, in their Convention, will Pr<
erect a common platform, and agree with Ch
unanimity upon a candidate. They talk
of no outsiders. Their candidate must be |
Gen. Scott, Mr. Fillmore, or M.. Webster. cej
Mr FillmriM titov twMiKlv /1/wvKnA iinloca

there should be a stronger demonstration
for him in the North than is now witnessed.
It is also said that the Northern Whigs
must see the necessity of adopting the example
of the Democratic Convention as
to the endorsement of the Compromise, oul
and also of placing Gen. Scott thereupon, tioi
should he he the nominee. coi
Somo of the Northern Whig organs cm
have lately intimated a purpose, on the to
part of the friends of General Scott, should ^
lie not have the majority, to challenge tit>
the right of the Georgia and Alabama del- <
egations to a seat in the Convention, on ^
the ground that they are not Whigs but
Union men. In one quarter it has been wc
intimated that the fnends of Gen. Soott w"
would require a pledge from each delega- to
tion to adliere to the platform and the $1
nomination of the majority?they agreeing,
of course, to be in the same way bound,
should they be in the minority, as they
probably will be. Then, again, the Southern
delegation with probably act ig con- my
cert, and have some understanding as to nu
their course before they go into the Con
Convention, overcoroing^all otwd&fA,
unite upon a platform and upon candi- Ch
dates.
Both Houses will adjourn over Wednee- Le
day and Thursday, the lflth and 17th, to M
allow the Whigs members to attend the Qf
Convention. The proceedings and result
of the Convention will be regarded with
intense interest.
Ux
w1
Washinoton, JfWE 8, 4 P.M.?Many thl
of the delegate to the Whig Convention
are here. They seem, bo far, to be very
much disposed to harmonize, or at least to
go into Convention in the hope of union of
action. They call upon Mr. Fillmore, Mr. wc
Webster and General Scott, and of course, mc
are cordially received. All the delegates
from the 8tate of N. York are to meet in the cr'
city of N. York, before coming on here, and oai
hold a consultation. The New-Kngland W
delegates will meet in the city of N. York,
on the 12th for the same purpose. 1 learn or
from New-York that since General Pierce's 4t
nomination, the Whig friends of Gen. ma
Scott have doubted the expediency of to
nominating him, without the mil assent of fo
the whole of the Whig delegates, Northern
and Southern. They have also become
convinced that they must adopt the Com- j .
promise measures, as a platform, or be
beaten so largely in the city of New-York 001
that thay cannot cany the State.
Ilcarnthat John Van liuren has announced
that the Democratic P*rty iu New- J?*
York is re-united on Gen. Pierce, and will dei
give him the entire Freeaoil vote. This ro*
being the case, it is evident that the Whigs de?
will have a hard struggle. Some suppose vac
that Mr. Webster will be the candidate, ?oc
and others that Gen. Scott, Mr. Fillmore by
and Mr. Webster will all be dropped, and
a new candidate be taken up. ^
Gen. Scott, according to rumor, was of ^
the opinion that Gen. Cass would be the
nominee, and expressed his gratification
that he should have "a foeman worth of
his steel." The nomination of Gen. Ilerce 1
was announced to him while in his office, we
and surrounded by a number of persona, P?'
and he immediately remarked upon it?
44 Well. I have loot one vote; I ehall have mot
one vote Ue*.n It' haa been rumored here 1
that Gen. Pieroe had frequently declared pes
his wish that Gen, Scott would be the next tj,
President, and that he would vote for him. ^
Gen. Sbott seems to have had that frpinioo, otil
as the remark above mentioned shows. ^
Gen. Pierce was on the moat friendly ^
and confidential terms with Gen. Scott,
while in Mexico, and sustained him there _
and after his return home, againat all the ?
intrigues of his enemies. If Gen. Pieroe
cannot now vote fa Gen. Scott, pertuqe ***
Geoerr' Seott if dropped^M the Whig eandidata
will vats fa him. "
It appears Gen. Pierce's letter in reply
to the Committee of the New Hampshire la <
Convention that tendered him their none- Ail
ination for the presidency, that he prompt see
ly declined the tame. He had no die- c?
position, hi Am, either to seek oflVos or to ^
mix in pohtieal oootreta. He will, if elect- ,
ed,make a safe President He wilUbtWiaf .
