RESOLUTIONSADOPTED
BY THE
DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION
at Austin.
"Where is The distinctive feature in the
political creed of the great democratic
party of the United States is a confi-
dinsr trust in the intelligence the patri
otism and the discriminating justice of
the American people; and
Whereas. The time has arrived when it
behooves the democracy of the Slate of
Texas to organize and by unitPtl ac-
tion to rally to the support of those great
principles which Heat the foundation of
a government springing from and up-
held by popular will: Therefore
Be it raoh'cd hy this Convention That
the democratic party of the State of Tex-
as coming together in a spirit of concord
and devotion to the doctrines and faith of
a free representative government do now
avow and reassert before the American
people the following declaration of prin-
ciples avowed by the Democratic Nation-
al Convention of 18 IS:
1st That the federal government is one
of limited powers derived solely from the
constitution and the grants of power
shown then-in ought to be strictly con-
strued by all the departments and agents
of the government; and that it is inexpe-
dient and dangerous to exercise doubtful
constitutional powers.
That the constitution does not con
fer upon the general government the pow-
er to commence and carry on n general
system of internal improvements.
That the constitution does not con
fer authority upou the federal govern-
ment directly or indirectly to assume the
debts of the several states contracted for
local internal improvements or other state
purposes; nor would such assumption be
just and expedient.
That justice and sound policy for-
bid the frderal government to foster one
branch of industry to the detriment of an-
other or to cherish the interest of one
portion to the injury of another portion of
our common country: i tint every citizen
and every section of the country ha the
light to demand and in-ist upon an equal-
ity of rights and privileges and to com-
plete and ample protection of persons and
property from domestic violence or for-
eign aggression.
That it is the duty of every branch
of the government to enforce and- prac-
tice the most rigid economy in conducting
our public affairs and that no more reve-
nue ought to be raised than is requited to
defrav the necessary expenses of the gov-
ernment and for the gradual but certain
-Minction of the debt created by the pros-
ecution of a just and necessary war.
That Congress has no power to
charter a national bank. That we be-
lieve such an institution one of a deadly
hostility to the best interest of the country
dangerous to our republican institutions
and the liberties of the people and calcu-
lated to place the business of the countn
within the control of a concentrated mon-
i?v nower. and above the laws and the
will of the people: and that the results of
democratic legislation in mis ami an oili-
er financial measures upon which issues
have been made between the two political
parties of the countiy have demonstrated
to candid and practical men of all parlies
their soundness safety and utility in all
business pursuits.
That Congress had no power under
the constitution to interfere with or con
trol the domestic institutions of the seve
ral Stales and that such States arc the
sole and proper judges ot everything ap-
pertaining to their own affairs not pro
hibitcd by the constitution; that all effort:
of the abolitionists or others made to in.
duce Congress to interfere with questions
of slavcrv or to take incipient steps in re
lation thereto are calculated to lead to the
most alarming and dangerous conscquen
ces; and that all such efforts have an ine-
vitable lemlency to diminish the happi-
ness of the people and endanger the sta
bility and permanency of the Union and
ought not to be countenanced by any
friend of our political institutions.
That the separation of the moneys
of the government from banking institu-
tions is indispensable for the safety of the
funds of the government and the rights of
the people.
I hat the lilicral principles embo-
died by Jefferson in the Declaration of In-
dependence and sanctioned in the Consti-
tution which makes ours the land oflib
crty and the asylum of the oppressed of
every nation.haveevcr been cardinal prin-
ciples in the democratic faith; and every
attempt to abridge the present privilege
of becoming citizens and owners of soil
among us ought to be resisted with the
same spirit which swept the alien and se-
dition laws from our statute books.
2nd. That the measures passed by the
last Congress of the United States com-
monly known as "the Compromise Acts"
are regarded by the Democrac' of .Texas
as a final adjustment of the dangerous anil
vexed questions they embrace.
3rd. That the principles contained in
the Virginia ard Kentucky Resolutions of
1708 are fully recognized b this Conven-
tion as presenting a true exposition of the
constitutional rights of the States and of
theGeneralGovernmentundrrthe Federal
compact; and that they are qu illy oppo-
sed to consolidation secession r ml disu-
nion. 4th. That the democracy of Texas do
pi tsent to the favorable consideration oi
the great democratic party of the United
Slates General Sam Houston the hero
tf San Jacinto as a patriot chieftain
and statesman eminently worthy to be
the standard bearer of the pirn m the ap-
proaching canvass for the Presidency: and
while we would hail his nomination with
proud satisfaction we pledge our warm
and hearty support tb the" nominee of the
Democratic National Convention.
EXIT BY THE WRONG DOOR.
PJiiadcJpita Gift Police Dec. 18. Maxim
ilian Gook member of the "Kemble Drnmat
ic Association" was enst for the part of Rich
ard 111. to be played before a select audi-
ence this evening. Last ti'ght he sat up to
prepare himself for the arduous task nut his
piece of study bcin his bed room and that
being nn attic chamber adjoining the dormi-
tory of a fellow boarder a testy fellow who
had often cursed our young Roscitis for "n
busing the curtained sleep" with Ins midnight
recitations he thought it advisable to wrap
himself in an overcoat and ascend through
the trap door.to the roof where he might rage
and fret to his heart's content without dis-
turbing the sleepers. He went through the
whole part on tins elevniru siage.siampcu uuu
kicked ofTn few shingles rehearsed a terrific
combat with the cow" on top of the chim
ney which represented Richmond Tor the
nonce and being disposed for a nap after 60
much wearisome e.crlion he thought it pru
dent to make his exit and go to bed. But
in the death-struggle which concludes the
fiVht with Richmond.hc'.had got on the wrong
side of rhe chimney nnd erroneously descen-
ded through the trap-donr which belongs to
the abjoining house. lie entered the bed-
room of a rheumatic old gentleman whose
aches had made him a watcher and who was
rubbing his legs with a mixture of camphor
and turpentine when lie saw ny mo uun ngiu
of his lamp another pair of legs protruding
through the aperture in the ceiling. Tlicy
were the lower extremities of Roscius jr.
who continued to repeat favorite passage
of the play as he was endtavoring to set his
feet on Ilic ladder.
"Yes 1 can smilo and murder while I smile.'
This poelic acknowledgment was enough
to confirm the rheumatic old gentleman in
his belief that the legs hcloned to a free -boo
ter and assassin so without a moment's de-
lay he set fire to his saucer of turpentine and
held the flaming combustible under tho sus-
pended figure of Mr. M. Cook just as the
latter was enunciating tho lines
"Down down to hell and say I sent thee there.
I that liao neither pity love nor fear !"
As the last word was pronounced his tock
ings were ignited by the blazing rezin. Mr.
Cook looked down and saw what appeared
to be an ocean of flame beneath him. Con-
cluding that the house was on fire he sprung
back to the roof and gave the alarm with a
stcntorphonic voice. The watchman sprung
his rattle thundered nt the front door.obtain-
ed admission nnd rushed up stairs to ascer-
tain the extent of the danger. By this time
the flames had gone out but Mr. Cook was
still on the roof elling 'fire!" in his best
tragic accent. A suspicion arising that he
was either drunk or deranged lie was drag-
ged down and disposed of as circumstances
seemed to require. This morning he was
the most pitiful representative of King Rich-
ard that ever appeared on any boards being
altogether in the melting mood and begging
with floods of tears for a release which he
fortunately obt.iined.-I'cimsi'cnm'in Dec Vlh.
Is Europe by a Georgian female is usu-
ally understood a tall slender creature of
voluptuous figuro wrapped in ample rich ap-
parel .vith thick black hair long enough to
entwine its glossy letters round all hearts of
men with an open noule forehead and a
pair of eyes ivilhin whose dark mysterious
magic circle the secrets of all delights of
sense and soul lie spell-bound. Her gait is
luxury. Joy goes before her.and admiration
follow s her . Tho flowers on w hich sho treads
look upwards trembling with delight as they
die and exhale fragrance as an ofTeiing to
the beauty. With such ideas do strangers
usually come to Georgia and find thcinselvs
singularly undeceived. Travellers who with
expectations raised so fiigh.Bet foot on aland
surrounded by history and tradition with a
nimbus of wonder either obstinately abide
by their previously formed opinion or hastly
pass to the other extreme and find to their
amazement everything filthy ugly. loathsome.
The truth lies in the midst. The people of
Georgia taken as a whole are undeniably
one of the most beautiful races of people on
the earth ;but although I am a great lover of
woman I must in this case give with uncon
ditional preference the palm to the malo sex.
nerein.nn inosc cultivated inhabitants ol Lieor
gia who have eye taste and an impartial judg
tnent agree with me. Nay I mu3t add to
this that of that higher beauty which exists
where spirit heart and mind are reflected in
the eye there arc in the Caucasus few traces
to be found among women as well as among
men. I have had a fair chance of seeing all
ihat Georgia contains of womanly beauty but
have never beheld a face that has fully satis-
fied me although the graceful costume of the
fair inha hitants of the land contributes very
much to tho heightening of their charms
The face is altogether wanting in that nobler
spiritual expression winch lends to our fair
Europeans an enchantment all their own. -These
can still awaken love and gain hearts
even when the lime of their bloom is long
since past; in a fair Georgian on the other
hand with the freshness of youth fades eve-
rythin g away. The eye which always not.
withstanding its seeming fire Iia3 breathed
nothing but repose aud inactive voluptuous
ness acquires a taint expression; the nose
already in itself somewhat overstepping the
bounds of beauty appears in consequence
of the catty sinking cheeks of so unnatural
a size that many imagine its dimensions ac-
tually grow with years ;and the bosom.which
in this land plays certainty no hidden part.ac
quires too soon a flaccid character mere ap
pearances uhich among Europeans occur
more seldom more imperceptibly and in far
more limited proportion. If wo put to this
account the custom so prevalent in Georgia
among young nnd old of laying on while
and red paint it is easily seen that such and
similar arts of the toilette loo striking aa they
are to the eyo can only tond to lessen the
good opinion of the beholder.

THE TORTO LS.E -SHELL.
BY JAS. RCS3EL LOVYEU.
Theie lay upon the ocean's shore
What erst a tortoise served to cover;
A year and more with rash and roar
The surf had roiled it over
Had played with it. and flung it by
As wind and weather might decide it.
Then tossed it high where sand-whirls dry
Duo buiial might provide it.
It rested there to bleach or tan
As rains might soak or suns might burn it ;
"With many a ban the fisherman
Would stumble o'er and spurn it ;
And sometimes fisher-boys would stay
To free it from its sandy smother
That in their play the poor cstray
Might serve some use or other.
So there it lay through wet and dry
As empty as the last new sonnet
Till loitering by came Mercury
And. having mused upon it
"Why here" said he; "the thing of things
In shape material and dimension !
Add but some strings and In it sings
A wonder and invention."'
So said so done; the chords he strained
And when his fingers o'er them hovered
The shell disdained a soul Iml gained
The lvre had been discovered ;
O empt) world that round us lies.
Dry shell of soul and thought forsaken
Bring we hut eyes like Mercury's
In thee too song will waken.
A Novel Steambovt fok the Hudson Itivrrt.
A Washington letter of the Oth instant in ihe
Boston .Alias says .
"These is a drawing in the Navy Department
( a new steamboat which is about to be built in
New York for the Hudson River and vvliich is to
make the trip from Albany to New Yoik in five
hours. She is intended to compete with the New
York and Albany Railroad. By the kindness of
Commodore Skinner we obtained her proportions
which are as follows: length of keel 500 feet;
length of deck 350 feet. She looks like a sword-
fish. There is 75 feet of keel at each end ex
tending out lrom the deck which shows itself a-
bore water and which is s-harp and pointed like
the sword of a sword-fish lloth ends of the boat
arc alike and her engines arc to work both ways.
She is not intended to turn round but to work like
a fcrrj boat. She is to be called the George Wash-
ington and to have accommodations for three thou-
sand passengers. She will make the passage of
150 miles in five hours. She has been designed
and modelled by Mr. Davidson of New York.
Two Parisian young ladies were lately arrested
in the famous cemetery of Perela Chaise for quar-
reling over the grave of a voung student just bu-
ried. Each thought herself alone entitled to deck
his sod wnli "eternals" and oilier flours. Alter a
few diys of pulling off and supplanting each oth-

peisonal encounter They were taken before the

Estimate of Fashionable IIvrn.NEss
The Duchesof St. Albans was a fascinating
nciress of good common sense who married
first a banker and then a Duke She had
seen poverty in the most trying as well as the
more tolerable of its shapes and was well
prepared to judge of high life by comparison.
She thus speaks of it in her memoirs- "
Home Journal.
"Few persons have seen so much of the
various nspects I may say extremes of life
ns myself; and few therefore can be better
judges of the difference between great pov-
erty and great wealth; but after all this does
not by any means constitute the chief and
most important distinction between the high
and low states. No (he signal the striking
contrast is not in the externa circumstance.-
but in the totally opposite minds of the two
clashes as to their respective enjoyment of
of existence the society in which 1 former
ly moved- was all cheerfulness all high spi-
rits all fun frolic and vivacity. They car
ed for nothing thought ot nothing beyond
the pleasures of the present hour; and to
these they gave themselves up with the keen
ct relish. Look at the circles in which J
now move Can anything be moie 'weary
stale flat and unprofitable' than their vvhoie
course of life? Why one might as well be
in the tread-mill as toiling in the stupid mo-
notonous round of what they call pleasure
but which is in fact very cheerless and hea
vy work. Pleasure indeed! when all merri-
ment all hilarity nil indulgence of our nat-
ural emotions if they be of a joyous nature
are declared to be vulgar. There can be no
cordiality where there is so much exclusive-
ness and primness. No; all is coldness re-
serve and universal ennui even where this
slarchncss of manner is unaccompanied by
any very strict rigour in matters of conduct.
Look now at those quadrille-dancers in the
other room: they have bei'n supping; they
have been drinking as much champagne as
they liked; tho band is capital; the men are
young and the girls are pretty; and yet did
you ever sec such crawling movements such
solemn looks as if they vvero all dragging
themselves through the most irksome task in
the world? Oh! What a different thing was
a country-dance in my younger days!"
Doixcs at Montgomery'. The legisla-
tive hall of Alabama was on Thursday
afternoon the 1st inst. the scene of a sin-
gular and disorderly struggle about a ve-
ry petty matter. A bill from the Senate
was under discussion which provided that
the Governor's Private Secretary shall
have charge of the State House and re-
ceive SI 50 per annum for performing the
duty. The minority had a political enmi-
ty to the person who would have the
charge and opposed it by every sort of
mancevre making motion after motion un-
til they wasted the day and compelled an
adjournment. The members from Mont-
gomery county were so active in thisthat
they excited a good deal of indignation
against themselves particularly and the
next day r bill was introduced to remove
the scat ifG vernment from Montgomery
to Se'ma in Dallas county a lew miles
below Montgomery on the Alabama river.
The bill came within two votes of being
rushed through tho House and the Mont-
gomery Advernscr expresses the appre-
hension that it will pass yet a singular
result as tho punishment of a whole citj
for the freak of troublesome set they may
have had the misfortune to elect. But
the fact is that there has been always a
strong opposition to Montgomery as the
seat of Government and its adversaries
took the opportunity to carry a point they
had long desired. Pre.
Theatrical amusements are exceedingly popular
in California. The San Francisco Herald says :
"Wherever theatricals have gone the gaming table
has lost its charm and the existence of a healthy
relish for the refinement? of the drama h fully de-

musemcnt8and the steady decline of gaming houses.

It is positively asserted..in a late Aus-

PROSPECTUS FOR
A FULL LENGTH ENGRAVED PORTRAIT
OF THE
HON. DANIEL WEBSTER.
The distinguished character and merits of Mr.
WrnsTEit as a man and a statesman place him in
such a liyht before the American people and the
wnoie civilized worm aS m make it very desirable
that a true and faithful likeness of his person should
be obtained and widely diffused.
Such a measure in the piesent peculiar exigen-
cy of American affairs is due lo Mr. Webster for
the proud and triumphant position which be now oc-
cupies before the world ; and it cannot fail if car-
ried out lo eert an influence such as his friends
and pohtcal admirers would most earnestly desire.

istil is believed that a faithful protrait of the grcl
Defender of our Constitution and one which shall

tice is yet wanting.
