The majority of your committee have only adopted
mis principle 5 mt mi ns upuenvi io ae cuMe3anu
have thus refused in the avowal of the cardinal prin-
ciples of the dcmocracyttt expresi any opinion upon
what is really tlie most exciting ami iairortant politi-
cal topic now before tl e conn try leaving the people
to find on exposition of thcMcwn of the great demo-
cratic party of the Uuionand of the probable coarse
iX its Representatives in Congress in tbc avowed
npmtons w their nonnnee ? the ofiee of President
Tills couic we conceive to le fundamentally wrong.
If has ever been the pride of the democracy that it
has dealt frankly and honestly with the people. It
lias scorned to conceal its political opinions. It has
made it a point of opposition to the whig party that
it frrouentlv coes before the pconle with a mask unoti
its brow; and has appealed to the masses to reliuke
that party for a course so offensive to truth and so
unfair to them. Our country's institutions roust find
their surest support in an intelligent public opinion.
That public opinion cannot be intelligently formed as
to our iews upon thee institutions if wc refuse tu
avow them ami dare not advocate them.
It is useless to denv that this question docs not
press home upon us for decision. 'Jen of the sover
eign non-slaieholding State have already expressed
decided opinions upon it. This has been met by
counteracting opinions in the South first di-tinctly
avowed by the State of Yirginsi and since followed
un bv ncarlv everv State in that section of the Union
It is idle to call the question an abstract one. If
abstract in any sense it is only so to the section in
which has originated the avowals of njrgression upon
the richtsof a Lure portion of the Union to wit;
the non-slaveholding States. Titty own not a dollar
of property to be aftcctcil by the ascendency of the
principle at issue. Thcv have not a single political
ri-ht to be curtailed bv it. With them opposition to
the South on this (Kjint is purely a question of moral
and political ethics. Fur different is it with the South.
They own the property which the success of this prin
ciple win present iiieiu iroui iuiin hii iuiui u
the territories. They liavc a common right in the ter
ritories from which they are to be excluded unless
they choose tu go there without this property. They
have heretofore been considered as political equals in
the Union with the same power of expansion aud of
progress winch have lieretotorcui.-tingutsbeu all class-
es in the Union and which ha given to us all the dis-
tinctive apnellatii n of the "party of pmsress." They
own in common with their brethren of the Xurth
these tern tones which arc to be held by the federal
Government as a trustee for common uses and com-
mon purposes.
If therefore vou refuse to meet the is?ac made up-
on tlie slaveholdlng by a party of the nonsL-iichold-ing
States and permit the heretofore expressed opin-
ions of your naminee to stand impliedly a the opin
ions of this convention you pronounce hi substance
against the political equality of the people against
the community of interest in the tcrritoncs which it

of onc-lnUfof the people of the Union to extend those

PL.NTEIES AND COMMISSION MERCHANT?.
The New Orlcnus papers contain tin report of a
suit (Ward Jonas Sr Co.s. Warfietjlfy Co.) 're-
cently deciilni by tlie Supreme Court of Louisiana
which may interest conic of our readm. Tho de-
fendants were Mivufippi pUnttra and Mapped a
quantity of cotton to tho pUiiituTit who instead of
selling at New Orleans ehipped it to tftirpoul o!-
Liiuiitg an ailrancc from the New Orleans HgvnU fur
the full luaiLa vtdue nt New Orleans the nett j-ro-roc4s
of whwh advance were passed to the credit of
defendants. Tlo shipmvnt to UrtrfXrl was made
on the 7th March JSU and on thetl. M.mb the
plointifTi auMrwied to WarfleU & Co. at their plan
tation a letter informing thou of the f moment to
Liverpool stating that the market in New- OrViU
had been coatluuaHy gwng down that tbenhirnicut
would reach England at a favorable nwuient tbet they
hoped fur a good return sad that they acted tor them
(defendants) in the matter as they (plaintitr) UouM
liare dune fur tbeuuelve One passsge of the letter
reads thus ; tt We had the cotton valued by &ne of
our best brokers and if you prefer not risking the
shipment we will pay you the valuation prices. We
do sot wi?h however to do so as we have bought
no cotton and are averse to dinng ?o." It was ad
mitted that the letter to Warficld & Co. was receiv
ed by T. II. WarGeld before the 5th April. On the
9th May ten days after the leception of the Liver-
pool news and thirty-four diy after plaintiffs letter
had reached thcmT.lL &.W.J. WarfWH replied
from Lincinnati stating that they would take tbc val-
uation of the Lroiers fur the cotton.
The inferior tribunal gave judgment ngninst T. B.
& H . J. U arGcId but released Cameal. IkTcinIants
appealed. It was not Jen ted that the factors had ex
ceeded their ins t met ions as they were limited to the
sale of the consigned property in New Orleans and
the whole C3 turncl on the pjint whether the prin
ciple were not bound by the nets of thcr agents done
in good faith inasmuch as they had not repudiated
them within a reasonable time after r even ing intelli-
gence. The Fuprcmc Court hrtd . u W'htn tlw prinnpal
has employed his factor either to buy ar to sell and
the factor acting iu gJ faith has dqoirted fntm the
intniction? and has so informed his principal the
priuciiul is bound to notify his rejection within a rea-
sonable time after intelligence rcceh ed ; otherwise be
will be presumed to ki e adopted the transaction and
the loss of any will fall on him.
' The principal bs na right tu juntc and await the
. fluctuation of the market in ordir to ascertain wheth-
er the purchase (or cale) U likely to be lcuthVial or
prejudicial. He is bound if bedisent tonotifyhis
determination witlun a reasonable time provided he
has an opjortunity t.f doing so."
" We cannot but think with the Judge Mow that the
length of the delay to answer on tlie part cf defend-
ants was verv suspicious. It looks crv much like
I waiting the criterion of the market to get the certain-
ty whether the shipment to Europe would be bene-
Ccial or prtjudieial. Iu tuoraU this does nut seem fair
' toward a jarty whobadactl m goixl faith fr what
I he suppo-jed the iutcrect of his employer and for that
reason the law does not pennit it.r ft was therefore
decreed that the judgment against T. It. &- tt. J.
' WarfieU be affirmed.

There are thousands of intelligent and useful citi-
zens in the State now incompetent to exercise tho
first right of freemen In which proscribed class may
be enumerated tb? sons of farmers in the country
who have nut left the parenul roof to settle themselves
in life; and the journeymen mechanics clerks in
counting Iiones stores and offices merchants and
other tn town who have neither household nor free-
hold qualinVationa. The?e are surely as well entitled
to the right of suffrage aa ii they kept house or own-
ed real estate and would eicrcise it with as much
discretion as thoe more fortunate who ore thus en-
dowed; and we see not the sltadow of a reason for
depriving them of it. - We know that the Eastern 1)1-
vitiuu 01 we ri;iic uium uu uie vuuu it a vvuicii-
tion to alter the present State Constitution is called ;
but it w an event that will take place sooner or later
and to our thinking the soccer the better ere the scep-
tre departs from Judah and while the East yet had
the power to asseit its right iu a Conreutinu. The
question of free suffrage however is a platform upon
which tlio entire State must unite and will be settled
.14 a matter of course in the affirmative.
