Position of the National Democracy on the
Compromise and Slavery Questions.
Resolved, That Congress has no power un
der the Constitution to interfere with or con-
■ trol the domestic institutions of the several
States, and that such States are the sole afcd
proper judges of every thing appertaining
to their own affairs, not prohibited by the
Constitution; that all efforts of the aboli
tionists or others made to induce Congress to
interfere with questions of slavery, or to
take incipient stepf in relation thereto, are
calculated to lead to the most alarming and
dangerous consequences; and that all such
efforts haro an inevitable tendency to di
minish the happiness of the people and en
danger the stability and permanency of the
Union, and ought not to be countenanced
by any friend of bur political institutions.
> Resolved, That the foregoing proposition
" covfers and was intended to embrace the
whole subject of the slavery agitation in
1 Congress ' and therefore the democratic par
ity of the Union, standing on this national
platform, will abide by and adhere to the
faithful execution of the acts known as the
compromise measures .settled by the last
( Congress, the act returning fugitives from
service*!)'labor included;’ which act, being
designed to oarry out an express provision
of the Constitution, 'Cannot'with fidelity
thereto be repealed-or so changed as to de

attempt may be made.—Resolutions of the

This body met at Baltimore, on AYednes-
day, the 16th inst. and was organized by ap
pointing John G. Chapman, of Maryland,
President, and numerous Vice Presidents.
• Before balotting for candidates, the
Southei-n members insisted upon a platform
being laid down. The following resolution
was after considerable discussion adopted ;
by a large majority :
“ Resolved, That the series of Acts of thc
forty-first Congress—the Act known as the
fugitive slave law included—are received
and acquiesced in by the Whig party of the
United States as a settlement in principle
and substance of the dangerous and exciting
questions which they embrace,- and so far as
they are concerned, will maintain them and
insist upon their strict enforcement,'until
time and experience shall demonstrate the
necessity of further legislation to guard a-
gainst the invasion of thc laws on one hand,
and the abuse of their powers on the other,
not impairing their efficiency ; and we dep
recate all further agitation of the question
thus settled as dangerous to our peace, and
will discountenance all efforts to continue or
renew such agitation, whenever, wherever
and however the attempt may be made; and
we will maintain this system as essential to
the nationality of the whig party, and the
integrity of the Union.”
The Convention then proceeded to ballot
for a candidate for President, and after 55
ballotings, Gen. Winfield Scott, was
declared thc choice of the convention.

So it is. Amongst our most inveterate
and sleepless enemies, General Pierce is
proscribed and vilified for his sympathies
with us, and his faithfulness to the Consti
tution. And yet, though thus hated and
vilified for being true to us and to the Con

Tlie reason avIiv the Abolitionists oppose
General Pierce.
The Boston Atlas, a leading AVhig and
Frce-Soil paper, thus gives its reasons for
opposing Gen. Pierce. Southern men will
find good reasons for supporting him for the
very reason the Atlas opposes him :
.. AA’e see it in their nomination and en
dorsement of Franklin Pierce, whose highest
if not only recommendation appears to have
been his complete and abject devotion to the
demands of the South. No man has ever
earned for himself more deservedly the rep
utation of a most thorough paced dough
face. Because John P. Hale had the man
liness to refuse to assent to thc annexation
of Texas, he was villified, denounced, and
ostracised at the high behest of Franklin
Pierce. The democratic journals that had
dared to take similar grounds, and denouncc-
the scheme in all its blackness, were driven,
by his management, to eat tboit own words*
and to fall into the supjvii jpvat vAbieii
they had so vehemently condi
recently, his connexion with the persccution
of Mr. Atwood, thc nominee of his own par
ty, and his final proscription, for the hein
ous offence of regarding the fugitive slave
law as the perfection of human wisdom, are
well known. These, and these only, are the
heroic achievements which so strongly re
commend Franklin Pierce to the support of
the North Carolina, Mississipi and Georgia
nu Hi tiers, and which gave him their early
support; and all this is plainly enough a-

Mr. Berrien, of Georgia, sent in his resig
nation and retired from the United States
Senate on the 2tdli ult. The term for which
he was elected ends next March, and a suc
cessor has already been chosen in Robert
Toombs. Mr. Berrien resigned once before,
several years ago, with a view of withdraw-
j ing entirely from public life, but was in
duced to reconsider his determination, and
cither withdrew his resignation or was elect
ed to fill the vacancy made by his own res
ignation. Our impression is that the Legis
lature re-elected him.
This, however, may be considered his final
withdrawal from public life; and thus an
other of the veterans of the United States
Senate has passed away from the public eye.
Mr. Berrien has never been a popular lead
er, or mere party chief, but has neverthe
less, ranked fof many years among the old
est members of thc United States Senate,
and stood in the front rank when it number
ed such men as Calhoun, Clay, Webster,
Wright, Buchanan, Crittenden and their gi-
' the prediction. Mr. Rantoul, in position,
j talents, and labors, has been at the head of
! the New England Democracy. By a Demo-
! cratic Convention regularly called in his
t district, he was nominated a delegate to the
Umbrella Manufacturer, and J. A. Hall
Book-keeper. Revolvers were used, and
Leckie was killed. Hall surrendered him
self to the authorities. It grew out of a dis
pute that originated Sunday.

Campbell vs. The State.—-From Rich
mond. I. While the amendments to the Con
stitution of the United States are not imme
diately, and were not intended to be restric
tive upon the Legislature of the several
States, yet they arc the announcements of
great principles of Liberty which the Legis
lature of the several States cannot infringe.
2. Thc 5th Scction-of the amendments to
the Constitution of the United States, provi
ding « that the accused shall be confronted
with the witnesses against him,” is not in
fringed by the admission in evidence of the
dying declarations of thc deceased in thc tri
al of a prisoner charged with the homicide.
3. In order to make dying declarations ad
missible In evidence the deceased must not
only be actually in extremis, but he must
believe that he is dying.
4. When, a pritna facie case is made ouit,
the evidence should be admitted, leaving to
the Jury the adjudication of the question,
whether or not, the declarations were made
in immediate prospect of death.
5. Where the evidence on that point is con
flicting, the Court will not interfere with
the verdict of the Jury, and grant a new tri
