AIIUSETTS DEMOCRATIC STATE | CONVENTION. LLston Post says of this body : hr proceedings of the Convention relay will be touiid in another col . They were characterised by a * of harmony and moderation, which and concert of action and unanimity »■ general results arrived at; and > of ourenemics who hoped for a di .l in the democratic counsels were • emphatically disappointed hy the ;<:diiigs. In numbers, the conven ■ rose to certainly COO, and for re bility of appearance it probably and any similar body ever assem in this State. . ; resolutions are conceived in a r.o md magnanimous spirit, and expres u language vigorous and manly, and shingly severe, and at the same time upon our political adversaries, em •ing the main topics that will make he issue between the two parties in approaching election. The entire •c dings of this energetic, enthusias- J numerous convention were of ■ : ost satisfactory character, and the a; ;* spirit in which they were closed :h three cheers for M dhoti and Childs, 1 three cheers for the cause, gave the est assurance that every member re -1 with the firm resolve to secure the els of the convention in the triumph noc.racy through the State, no Convention chose two Delegates wge to the National Convention, <; the Pay St ate Democrat claims •m Buren men. The Committee on •lotions discussed the question of mg a nomination for the Presidency 1 decided* 15 to 10 against that propo . This was certainly no indication that decided preference for Van Buren ich the Democrat insists upon—it a decision against his partisans, jf against him. The Boston Courier, ’’’ch is an indopendentanthority, speaks is lollows: The Democratic State Convention, ' ;at Worcester yesterday, as we learn passenger in tho evening train, at . place, nominated Gov. Morton and at. Gov. Childs for re-election. N T o rprossion of preference for any candid ■ for tho Presidency was made by res ' ion or otherwise, and ht. Governor hi’ds and Hon. George Bancroft were o> cted delegates at large to the National ' • lvention. 'i'iie Con vent ion was com , a cd ot nearly six hundred members, and were supposed to be about equally ’■ ided in opinion as to the claims of ’allrum and Van Buren. It is supposed, "o, that the delegates are each in favor a separate candidates for the Presi ■ ncy. The following resolutions are the only rt of the proceedings that touch oil deral Politics. . .'solved, That in national politics ' hold to the same principles and the a. ic measures that have been proclaim <t by the democratic conventions of this “ite, from the beginning of the struggle .. a the T. S. Bank. We are against a i ik ia all its forms, whether per sc, or in exchequer, or a fiscal agent—against a national debt, and extravagance in ex uditures—against the distribution of be proceeds of the public lands, and as ■ laiplion of the state debts—and against to-whole programme of Clay whig : azures, which are again to be attempt 'd to be forced upon the people by ano h r effort to cheat them into the election a a whig President. We are for the In- Treasury, for economy in pub ic expenditures ; for paying off the oid iebt, and contracting no new one; for preserving the public faith, without sac rificing the public liberty, for a tariff for revenue alone, sufficient to enable the government to be honest and independ ent, and pay as it goes, and with the u scrimmating protection to manufactures that is honestly incidental to such a pur pose. In fine, we are for re-establishing democracy in our national councils, up on the good old platform of Jefferson and Jackson. Resolved, That in reference to the Presidential question we will abide by (he decision of the Democratic National Convention, to be holden at Baltimore on the fourth Monday of May next; diich convention should determine for ii jif the rules to bo therein adopted in voting tor democratic candidates for Pres -at and Vice President of the United hates, and that each State for itself has he undoubted right to determine upon the manner of choosing its quota of dele gates to that Convention. “SAVE ME FROM MY FRIENDS.” We sometimes regret that a National Bank was not put in operation by the Atra Session. It would certainly have . orked the death of whigery, and the country after taking the dose at a swallow, would have had a consolation in that it was “ over with.” But as it is, the hob bv remains for the jockey “ ol’ the slash e to agitate ; and the question of a bank, which the people have over and over again decided and condemned, is impu dently again brought before them for their favor. Not so with the tariff, on which the whigs had full swing. They are ju t discovering that it hangs to them like a mill-stone, and arc wriggling and fretting to clear themselves of the mis chief. We certainly hoped that the mer it of remedying this mischief would be left to the democrats, who opposed it in its inception. (Besides, we have a gen > rous sorrow to see the last, nay, the oti iv monument of the hard cider campaign, so deserted by its founders—to say noth ing of the harmony of the “ great whig party,” which is liable to be so disturbed y it.) But we are disappointed. Mr. ' ay’s organ in New York, which says ■ that any print tiiat does not support Henry Clay, is not whig,”—the Courier 1 Enquirer holds out the followingon •his same Tariff which its party and its irtyfavorite violated every principle _ c Rujiish, only a year ago. “ The existing Tariff, is in our opinion, in very many of its provisions too ultra for any of the legitimate purposes irhich caused its adoption We have said before, and we now repeat, that a tariff of ticenty per cent, ad valore on each nd every article imported into the country, with the exception of wool lens and iron, would yield an abundance of revenue, at the same time that it would afford all the protection that any interest in the country requires. Woollens may require at present, a protection of tiren tyfive per cent, and we would therefore give it.” Immaculate Harry of the West! Docs “ conscience so make a coward” of you, that you now counsel this return to a “horizontal tariff,” — twenty per ce t. — the lowest duty of the compromise act ? But what must the people think of such a tariff, that with only a twelvemonth’s operation is found so ultra, that the man who established it, now advise a reduc tion of one half l YVe hope the Palla dium will inform us if this “ twenty per cent.” doctrine is to be admitted in this latitude ; if so, we shall be truly gratified at the success of our past labors, and the prospect before us of “nothing to fight.” But our neighbor, we are certain, will be silent.— New Haven Register. Effects of Democratic Pot. icy.— The present activity in business, is to ha attributed more to the democratic policy in regard to the currency, than to any other cause whatever. YVe have just got rid of the wreck of that national monster, the United States Bank, and placed the currency on a specie basis, and every thing works well, just as the democrats predicted. Nothing is wanting to im prove the present state of things but the re-establishment of the independent treas ury, and an equalization of the duties on imports, say to an average of 20 or 25 per cent, as may he needed for revenue purposes merely—two measures which the democrats in the next administration will surely carry out, and we shall then go on “prospering and to prosper.” But as it is, the overthrow of the National swindling machine, and the winding up of the rotten institutions connected with it, has done wonders, in advancing the solid prosperity of the country. How completely all the whig prophecies have been falsified ? They declared again and again, that nothing but a National Bank could revive the industry-of the people: now see their idol overthrown - -crushed never to rise again—and yet the hands of industry were never more active, ex cept where they have been shackled by the unwise laws of their own country. New Haven Register. DREADFUL RAIL ROAD ACCIDENT. We regret to be compelled to record the occurrence of a very disastrous acci dent yesterday on the Susquehanna rail road. YY lien the first train from Balti more, which left at 7 A. M., with a large party of delenders, limitary and citizens, oil their way to the celebru:ion at York, bad reached a point about eight nines from York, the trout axle-tree of the first passenger car broke, throwing that car and the two following it off the track and splintering all three cars, the first one be ing almost entirely demolished. The cars being crowded with people, a scene of contusion mid dismay ensued, which may be readily conceived. A number ot persons who were impru dently standing on the platform in front of the cars were thrown off, some of them being caught between the cars, and oth ers torced under them. Many, we are happy to say, escaped unhurt, but the following persons were found to have been more or less injured:— Michael Grubb, member of the Junior Artillerists, a leg broken. Samuel Child, coachmaker, his left thigh broken, and so badly bruised that lie is not expected to survive. David Pugh, agent for the Gas Com pany, both thighs broken. Peter M’Kaid, employed on the rail road, had both legs broken. Thomas YVilson, a young lad, had his left knee fractured, and was otherwise much bruised. Ephraim Collet, a man who resides about 25 miles from Brltimore, hurt, but not seriously. John Guver, Junior Artillerist, much bruised. David Lefever, Junior Artillerist, se verely bruised. YVin. Allen, Sergeant of Junior Artil lerists, ijmch bruised. John Cooper, a resident of Fiji’s Point, and a member of the association of De fenders, very severely bruised and lacer ated. lie was taken from under the car where he remained nearly thirty min utes, although every effort was made to release him. Christian Meyer, a member of the German Yagers, slightly injured. All the persons injured were on the platform. As soon as the wounded per sons could he got out, medical assistance was instantly rendered to them by Doc tors Dunbar, Miller, Martin, Maguire, Hall and Ringgold, and, as soon as he could reach the spot, by Dr. M’Clellan of York. The wounded persons were soon after conveyed to York, and thence taken to the Hospital, where tlmy were well pro vided lor. At five o’clock their wounds were dressed, and they ail seemed to be as comfortable as their condition would admit of. Latest. —YYe conversed last evening with several gentlemen who visited the New Hospital at two o'clock yesterday afternoon, and saw and talked with the four persons injured on Tuesday who were remaining at that institution, ail the rest having recovered sufficiently to be able to be removed to their homes. These gentlemen state that the physi cians had not deemed it nec ssnry yet to amputate me iunus ol any one. Mr. Child was in very fiinc spirits and the best hopes were entertained for him. Mr. Pugh, who had both legs broken, was doing tolerably well. Mr. Cooper con- { tinned in a very doubtful condition. Mr. McCabe, the brakesman on the cars, who had both legs broken and one a compound fracture, was still considered in a dangerous way. The families of the sufferers were with them and they had received every possi ble attention that kindness and medical skill could suggest. The proposition to remove them to Baltimore WtY firmly resisted by the phy sicians, who think such a step dangerous at present. — Balt. Amer. 1 4th inst. “ Power is always stealing from the many to the few.” It is natural that such sliould he the case. Fancied secu rity, and great, nay, often criminal indif ference, are almost invariably the attend ants of success. Prosperity, so surely the test of individual disposition, displays as well the vices of parties as of persons, while adversity brings out the brighter shades of character, and throws into bold relief the nobler features of any combina tion. They act like the concave and convex glasses —the one increases faints ' far beyond their natural proportion, the | other diminishes them until they are scarcely seen. This fact declares a truth which should be rung in the ear of ev ery citizen, that vigilance, and ceaseless vigilance is the price we must pay for the preservation of our principles. None s.iotild he better convinced of this truth by experience, or more disposed by that experience to guard against it than the Democratic party of tins county. With \ no distinct change of political position, (except such a change us was calculated and lias brought a large accession to our numbers,) tho overwhelming majority we once possessed has gradually de creased ; rank after rank and file after fiie has deserted until each successive year now brings a struggle for political ascend ancy. YVe believe that this change has been greatly owing to the principle we have stated aliove—nay, we can point out the instances in which, hy our own supineness, these encroachments have been allowed. It is time that this evil should be remedied—and every democrat who has the interest of the party at heart, must place his shoulder to the wheel. But while much of this change may lie thus accounted for, have there not been other causes among ourselves at work m its production ? Democrats, look into this matter. YY r e have been remiss, and nature tells us that the possessions of the idle will revert to the industrious. But inquire if our only,fault lias been that of omission. There is no time so proper as the present to begin this inquiry. YVe are on the eve of an eventful struggle— of one which is to determine the political complexion of our county for two years —-ol one in which our adversaries, elated by their late partial triumph, are already m advance boasting of their success, and of the great advantages which will re sult to them fro n it. YYie say, then, now is the time for examination. Eet each Democrat liegin with himself, and in- I quire liovv far lie may have been instru ineutal in this matter. Let him usk the following questions:— Have I ever, by voting a split ticket, been the cause ot defeating a Democrat? Have l ever sa far forgotten my politi cal faith as to vote for one who was op posed to me in principle ? It you answer these questions in the ‘ affirmative, then have you in part been the cause of the present state of the party ; and we call upon you to increase your exertions that your fault may be redeem ed. Remove the mote from your own eye, that yyu may more clearly see the path of duly, and bav mg done so, pursue that path with renewed zeal and energy. YVe ask yon in all earnestness and sin cerity, in the future, be true to vour par ty and yourselves.—Nut-. Vedette. CALHOUN IN NE W YORK. The intelligence from New York is highly encouraging. The noble stand taken against the high handed dictation ot tha Syracruse managers has waked up a spirit among the people, which will rise higher and higher, till its now scarce audible murmurs swell into a tempest, sweeping political trickters and their jug glery, like chaff before it. Let our friends only he firm in the gallant stand they hqve made in defence of popular rights —nor suffer themselves to he in the slightest degree daunted by the roar of mock thunder that will he pumped up against them—but go on steadily organ izing and appealing to the people, and it calls for no extraordinary powers ol' vat icination to foresee the result, hy the time the Baltimore Convention sits. They need not be told, that with such a cause and with such antagonists, they have on ly to brave difficulties to conquer, them, and that there never was, and there nev er can be, a time in the world’s affairs, when downright tearless honesty -was not at last ail over-match for that small qual ity—that Fox’s attribute—of cunfiing. Above all, let them not imagine they will want “backing,” and of just the kind they will want. 'They will find in us the characteristic spirit of the man we support, who never was known, in the hour of dark adversity or most trying temptation, to blench at a foe or desert a friend, and to whom it is no flattery to apply the language used of the younger Cato— “ Thou hast seen Mount Atlas! Though siorma and tempests thunder on its brow, And Oceans break their billows at its feet, It stands unmoved atul glories in its height!” F.-rtrcc ’ of a ’(■•ter received in this city from Xete York. “The counties of YY’uyne, Monroe, Erie and Oneida, are out against the Sy racruse Convention. Since our demonstration in the Park, we every day hear of additions to the cause. Air. \on iiureu has not, nor ever had, any personal popularity, lie can not obtain the majority in tins State. All along the Canada frontier he is unpopu lar. He cannot get the vote of our a dopted citizens. His strength lies in Committees and political go-betweens. No living man has had so many politi cal honors and stations us he, and all with so little original greatness, as a Statesman, and with nothing of the hero ic him—such as makes a man a patriot or the apostle of humanity. It is won derful liow that man, with his cordon to act in concert, he with them or they with him, has continued to humbug the peo ple of the United States. lam inclined to think it was the ability of his seconds and not his own that elevated him. He was obedient to their counsels and sub servient to their interests, and therefore they manufactured public opinion in his favor, and thereby made a great man out of but slender materials. But many of his co-workers are now against him, though he is doing his utmost to band them once more together, for, in point of fact he is nothing without them.” THE FIRE IN K.NGbfON, JAMAICA. YV r e find in the New York papers of Tuesday, accounts of the recent great fire in Kingston, which contain further ex planations of the position which the eman cipated population took on that occasion. It is pretty certain that they kindled the fire—they refused to aid in extinguishing it and emp oyed the time in plundering. This conduct was characteristic of them as a class. YY e make some extracts.— The Jamaica Despatch of the Ist inst. says : The city was vigilantly guarded by patroles of horse and foot last night and the night before, a precaution rendered necessary from the suspicious conduct of a certain portion of the lower orders, who, independent of an insolent bearing, have proved themselves the most daring ■and villainous thieves. Again—ls there were any real causes for the apathy of the negroes during the late fire, beyond their ridiculous talk a bout killing their pigs and taxing them, we should most assuredly have heard of them—but no, beyond tne depravity of mind they have shown, we are at a loss for any reason.—Were it not for a total want of gratitude and good feeling, they should have at least remembered past benefits received—they should, amongst others, have recollected the course pur sued towards them, when they were vis ited so dreadfully with the scarlet fever —had they the slightest ht&rt, they would have looked back to innumerable benefits received by their class, at the different periods when they have required aid and assistance. A postscript of the same Journal con tains tne following: Despatch Office, ? Thursday, half past 9 P. M. ) YVe ore sorry to have it in our power (o record, at this late hour of night, one of the most daring threats at further de struction of our city by fire, by a black man, named John Morce, who was im mediately apprehended and lodged in the cage for examination. The house on which he fixed to accomplish this dia bolical design, is the residence of a Mr. Forsyth. This evidently proves an in tention on the part of the niol.oeracy to evacuate the city of the more rational portion of its inhabitants. The Jamaica Times of the 30th Aug., says : It was rumored yesterday evening that certain threats had been made to burn down the Roman Catholic Chapel, in High Holborn street, where Mr. Murphy officiates, and that a guard of |>olice had been- in consequence stationed outside for its protection. A reward of £IOOO lias been offered for the discovery and conviction of the incendiary, and various rewards for (he recovery of property stolen during the fire. From the New Haven (Ci.) Register. STATE CONVEX t ION. A correspondent of the Hartford Times, makes some good suggestions in reference to the approaching State Convention. In order that the proceedings of that body lie satisfactory to the people, it must he honestly constituted ; for if this should not be the case, the wishes of the great mass will not be fairly expressed—and as that point is of first importance, the people, by a full attendance at the prima ry meetings, should sot; that such dele gates are elected as possess their confi dence, and will correctly speak their sen timents. A point unfairly gained, would be of essential injury to the Democratic cause ; and to avoid such a catastrophe, we should start right in the primary meet ings. A Convention thus framed, will give satisfaction, and its voiceconsid ered a binding on every honest democrat. Individual preferences will then readily yield to the voice of the majority—and every effort he made to give potency to the "decision, and triumph to the cause. The writer says, “ It is obvious that the proceedings and the result of this Convention must be of a deeply interesting character—for years to come they will have either a salutary or a deleterious influence on the political interests of the State ; they may serve to harmonize the opinions and consolidate the streuth of the Democratic party —or they may foment dissensions, paralyse our energies, and subject us again to the control of our untiring, relentless adver saries. Let every Democrat then be aroused to active preparation for the cri sis.. Let no one fail to attend the prima ry meeting in his town for the choice of delegates; and that there may he a full development and faithful representation of the popular sentiment, let all the elec tors at tlie primary meetings vote directly and individually, by ballot, for President and Y ice President of the United States; and then appoint such men for delegates as will act m accordance with the known j opinions of their constituents. If the ( onvention at Middletown shall decide that they themselves will appoint the del egates from this State to the National Convention, let the members first ballot for President and Y ice President; and then appoint delegates whose opinions shall have been ascertained to be in uni son with the opinions of the people. By these means the popular sentiment of the State will be too closely understood for the possibility of mistake.” YVe think well of this suggestion, in case the Convention shall think it best to appoint the Delegates—but we are free to say, we prefer the District system If left with the people there can be no cav illing at the result—with the action of the Convention, there may be. Our ob ject is the harmony of the party, and the permanence of democratic principles ; and on that altar ice are ready to lay all all our individual preferences for men. 'Phe following maxims appears in the Michigan Argus : we recommend them to our readers. Heavy tarifis make goods fall. Heavy rains make rivers fall. The more you tax tire manufactured goods the cheaper they become. The more you pay for an article, the less it costs you. Every nation ought to be independent in itself. The best way to be independ ent, is to buy nothing, and sell nothing. Therefore, every man ought to make Ins own hats, shoes, and clothes; shoe his own horse ; make his own ploughshares and iiis own gins; and raise his own corn and cotton, tea, sugar, and coffee. Distribution of the procee Is of the sales of the public lands, ‘ retrenchment ’ —giving away our incomes, and borrow ing money to pay our debts, ‘ economy .’ Making bank paper adding to tne wealth of a community. Wealth is only machinery. Lot a man fancy himself rich, and he is rich. Call a piece of pa per a dollar, and it is a dollar. Maintaining and supporting the Con stitution of the United States, taking the veto power out of it—adding to the strength of a wheel, taking out the spokes. Protection and industry of the United States, taking a portion of the earnings of the farmers, mechanics, and laborers who work, to aive it to the wealthy man ufacturers,- who never do work, while they reduce the wages of their working hands twenty-five per cent. 'l’he best way to encourage trade is to check importations. The best way to regu’ate commerce is to destroy it. Equal laws, taxing one portion of the Union for the benefit of the other. Ma king one part bear three-fifths ot the bur dens ; and giving the other four-filths ot the benefits. To the above admirable maxims we would take the liberty of adding another, taken from the writings ot some celebra ted philosopher, whose nauift we cannot now recollect. Friendship: knocking a man down, tying his hands, and then picking his pockets. DEMOCRATIC LEGISLATIVE NOMINATION.

Garrick’s Otmf.llo.— Determined to judge for himself, in regard to the mer its of Garrick’s acting, Quin, on the night jon which his rival was announced to perform Othello, secured himself a place in the pit of the rival theatre. About this period had been published Hogarth’s famous prints of “ Marriage ala Mode,” in one of which, it will be remembered, is introduced a negro foot-boy entering the apartment with a tea equipage. To the quick fancy of Quin, (naturally on the watch to turn his rival into ridicule,) it may readily be imagined tfiat there ap peared a ludicrous similarity between the appearance of the foot hoy and the black ened face and diminutive figure of Gar rick. Accordiugty, when the latter made his re appearance in the third or fourth act, Quin suddenly exclaimed, loud enough to afford amusement to half the pit, “ Here is Pompey, but where are the tea things l " — George Selwyn and his contemporaries.

Some of our in xlest Whig frtenJ*. formerly fiery Nullifiers, and afterwards active members of the State Rights party, seem to have lost their refloctioo as well as their former political principles, since they became the rank and file of their federal lead and implacablo foes of all tho parties to which they formerly be longed. They have become the bitterest revilers of their former political associates, and willing to wound tho dearest interests of their country to sustain the inter ests of their new leaders. Among the other devices, tho resort to promote their patricidal purposes in this State is the clamor they are endeavoring to cite against the democrat!* party for squandering the wealth of the State.— Nothing can be more easily proved than the utter fallacy of this slander. The democratic party, as it now exists, was not or ganised till the fail of the year forty, and did not ob tain a majority in tho Legislature, till the session of forty-one, after the Whigs, during their Saturnalia, the session of forty cleaned out the treasury, by ap propriations, if we recollect rightly, to the amount of four iiundred and fifty thousand dollars, anil left their democratic successors the empty hags to hold. The distinctive names of Democrat and Federalist had become almost obsolutc in this State, became al most also at the close of the last British war—our citizens during the interval divided undi r the names of Troup men, Clark men, Nullifiers and Union men, State Rights men and Union men. Now noth ing can be more undeniably evident, the waste, for mo-t criminal Waste there certainly was, have been committed by majorities, under the denominations specified, and not hy the Democratic party, for the deuce a dollar was there left for the poor fellows to experiment on. Had there been plenty, we have little doubt but some of our democratic friends would liked to have had their fingers among them as well as their neigh bors. We aver, theres >re, without fear of valid contra diction, that the Democratic party have neither was ted the wealth, nor embarrassed the credit of the -state, because these labors of love to their country, were Completed, to the very idea, by their predeces sors. Bui, if instead of being, palpably, notoriously fals is they have been provid, these charges against the majorities of the .wo proceeding sessions, had any, even feasible evidence to sustain them, it requires reckless hardihood on the part of the Whig wire pullers and their stipendiaries, in this State, lo make them, when they can he confronted, with Mr. Duller King’s five million job bill—it affords a conclusive evidence of the economy and scale of financiercing, the \\ big leaders intended to pursue, had a chance been permitted them. How did the Whig majority evince their sympathy with the distresses of their fellow-citizens, a! that pe riod—why, not only, hy the insulting and almost mocking reply to their prayers fur reiief, I ut hy tho appropriation of four hundred and fitly thousand dollars, for purposesTiaving no disccniable tendency to promote that permanent object. We will not characteriz in’ their descriptive «pf_ thets, the slanders that have been fabricated and cir culated against the Democratic party—b it surely, the cause that needs fraudful trickery and misrepre sentation of tacts, such as the Whig leaders and ilieir hacks have employed, is not an honest one-, cannot promote the public good— cannot be countenanced, or practised by moral or honorable men, moc date a Christian pray for its success. If we are rightly informed, there are movies oA electioneering now practiced by the opposition, in favor of «ome of the Whig candidates, that in barefaced corruption and reckless disregard of all moral principles, exceeds the infamous pipe laying, ot New V ork and Philadelphia. Do not the men who obtain their seats by such means, know that then brand of Perjury will burn on their hearts for ever! Wo to the country, wo its liberties, its institutions,, and wo to the People, when such crimes can be prac tisod with impunity—and again, wo to the People among whom, they are not held in abhorrence. By whatever party practised, if they come to our knowledge, we will denounce them. THE WORKS OF MISS HANNAH MORE. This gifted and most excellent woman—this veter an of the female literati of England—devoted little shoit of sixty years of an unusually prolonged life, to the noble pur[iose of rendering virtue and religion attractive. But her works, though many of them on grave subjects, are not merely instiuctive: they be come delightful hy the charm with which her fino imagination and just taste invests them—and it is impossible to rise from their perosal, without being struck with the strength of her understanding—the extent of her literary attainments—the purity of her understanding —the depth and fervency of her piotv . and her unremitting exertions in the service of her Divine master and her fellow creatures. Many of her writings arc devoted to the instruction and im provement of her own sex, and we know of no hook, the Bible excepted, so well adapted to promote their usefulness and happiness.
