K3T It has never fallen to our lot to attend a convention where more unanimity, good feeling and enthusiasm prevailed than the Democratic State Convention held on the 2'Jth inst. Over three thousand delegates were in attendance. .All the present incumbents of the State offices were renominated. The resolution approving of the passage of the Nebraska bill and the doctrine of non-intervention was almost unanimously adopted. The subject of temperance was discussed at length in which all had a right, and many did participate, and after a thorough discussion the Convention resolved that any law having for its object "seizure, confiscation and destruction, was unconstitutional and anti-re-publican, that they viewed the present movement under the garb of temperance as having fur its only ohjcct the breaking up and dismembering of the Democratic party. That they viewed intemperance as a great social and moral evil, and that they were strongly in favor of judicious and constitutional legislation upon the subject.

Our platform is broad and supported by principles inculcated by that great patriot and republican, Thomas Jefferson. The friends of freedom can here find a sure footinir. and with one single effort of their

giant power next October crush out the last lingering spark of vitality that now animates

the bosom of the llydra-IIeadcd monster, the abortion of the whig party, which is now seeking to sap the foundations of our government and deprive us of those liberties transmitted to us by our forefathers, a pearl which our enemies like, the base .Tudean would cast away.

JPir We call the attention of our readers to the advertisement of Mr. JOHN* E.

WOOD, of Lafayette.

0^7" John Bull is evidently dissatisfied with the first achievement of that venerable old salt, Admiral DUNDAS. The London Times receives the intelligence of the bombardment of Odessa "with feelngs which are not unmixed with regret. It thinks it was to be expected that the first great operation of war in which the combined fleets in the Black Sea were engaged would inflict a severe blow on the enemy, and would prove with what overwhelming force the naval armaments of England and Erance were provided. And it regrets, also, that the first blow in the war should have fallen up-on-a commercial city, rather than a naval or military pert.

TEMPERANCE.—Dr. A. P. Euller of Albion, Maine, in a letter to the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal, dated April 19th, 10.3!, says:

PASSAGE OF THE

Xi: BR ASK A BILL!!

WASHINGTON, May 23.

IIOUSE.—Mr. Pringle's motion was nega-

and rejected by ayes and nays. Mr. Walsh raised points of order, that the rules of the House were for the purpose to facilitate not retard public business, that the majority acted with great forbearance, and that any further extension of it would be subversive of public interests and would establish a precedent enabling a captious minority to control the legislation of the country. Mr. Campbell objected to all arguments, and Mr. Washburn of Maine moved to lay the bill on the table—negatived. Ayes 92, nays 112.

The question recurring on seconding the demand for the previous question, anothtr motion was made to adjourn, and lost. Mr. Campbell appealed to Kichardson to withdraw his motion till he could make a suggestion. Mr. Richardson declined.

The demand for previous question was seconded, and the main question ordered to be put, ayes 117, nays 84.

Another motion at 8 o'clock to adjourn, failed. The question was taken on agreeing to the report of the committe, striking out the enacting clause was negatived— Ayes 97, Nays 117. At C4 o'clock Mr. llichardson moved his substitue for the bill being the same as the Senate bill, with the exception of Mr. Clayton's amendment, and moved the previous question. (Cries of question.)

Mr. Dean moved for reading the substitute. The reading occupied an hour. Mr.-Edgerton moved a point of order, as the substitute contains appropriations for salaries for Governor, etc. Must first be considered in Committee of the Whole.

The Speaker overruled the point on the ground that the original bill had been discussed^fThe main question was ordered to be put—ayes 110, nays 90.

NINE O'CLOCK P. M.—Mr. Richardson's substitute was agreed to—ayes 1.15, nays 9i5.

The question was stated to be engrossed for third reading. Mr. Wilson moved to lay the bill on the table, Negatived—ayes 100, nays 11 I.

At 104,-o'clock Mr. Madison moved.an unsuccessful motion to adjourn. The biil was ordered to be cngros?eJ for a third reading—ayes 112, nays 99.

While this vote being taken Lord Elgin was holding a reception in tho lobby, many members being introduced to him.

The bill was read a third time and at 11 o'clock was passed by ayes 1 13, nays 100. Applause in the galleries accompanied with hisses.

Mr. Richardson moved to reconsider the vote by which tho biil was passed and to lay the motion on the table. Agreed.

Mr. Letcher moved that when the House adjourn it adjourn till Wednesday. The Speaker decided the motion out of order. The Sneaker sustained by ayes 90, nays 80.

Mr. Richardson's motion to rcconsider and lay that motion on the table was agreed to, aud the House adjourned to 31 o'clock.

WASHINGTON, May 23.

Senate assembled at 12. After the transaction of some preliminary business, Senator Toucy, of Connecticut., rose to make an explanation with reference to the debate vesterdav between his colleague Smith and Senator Cass. lie said his colleague labored under a mistake when he stated that the resolutions he presented were in opposition to Nebraska, and expressed the sentiment of the mass of the democrats of that State, in proof. lie mentioned that the resolution in question was voted against by over two thirds of the democrats in the legislature. He wished to give no ofi'encc to his colleague, but merely to state the facts as they existed when the Speaker had concluded.

Senator Morton, of Florida, proceeded to speak concerning the non-fulfillment of the

PACIFIC RAILROAD ROUTE. AThe following summary of the result of Governor Stevens's exploration and survey of a route for a Railroad to the Pacific, which we condense from the San Francisco Iferald, will be found very interesting and important:

Of all the surveys ordered by the General Government at Washington with a view to the selection of a route for a railroad across the continent, that entrusted to Governor Stevens of Washington Territory, is far the most satisfactory. He has accomplished the survey of a belt extending two thousand miles from East to West, and from one hundred and fifty to two hundred miles from North to South.— In the Rocky Mountains Ins explorations have extended over four hundred miles from North to South, and in the Cascade Mountains over two hundred and fifty miles "The route occupied by Governor Stevens and his party is the route of the two great rivers across the continent—the Missouri and Columbia. The tributaries interlock the whole mountain range is broken down into spurs and valleys, and no obstruction exists from snow. The whole route is eminently practicable. The highest grade will be fifty feet to the mile and it may be reduced to forty on subsequent examination. The summit level of the road will be about live thousand feet above the sea. There will be but one tunnel. The snows will be less than in the New England States.

Tho Missouri River has been surve}*ed, and found to be navigable for steamers to the Falls, about 700 miles from Puget Sound, and 500 miles to the point where the main Columbia is first reached by the railroad from the east. This 500 miles is in part along Clark's Fork affording 100 miles navigable for steamers. It may be here observed that a party under Dr. Luckey went down Clark's Fork, from the base of the Rocky Mountains to the Columbia, and thence to the Lower Columbia, in a canoe in October and November, developing many facts in regard to the part it must play in the building of a railroad. They went the whole distance in canoes except one link of GO miles. All the winter parties were heard from or had come in on the 25th of March. The developments are extraordinary. In the first place, as to snow:

Lieut. Grover crossed the Rocky Mountains in the middle of January, and found but one foot of snow in the pass none in the valleys. Lieut. Mullen crossed the Rocky Mountains four times in December and January, and the greatest depth of snow found by him was fifteen inchess, and that for a short distance.

He dwells on ti luxuriant grass of the valleys in midsummer, and expresses the opinion that it must become a great emigrant route. The Flathead Indians cross these mountains with horses during every month of the winter. At Fort Benton, just east of the mountains, there is not snow enough, nor has there been for twenty years, to use ideds. The fur companies, in midwinter, send their goods in wagons to their Northern trading posts. From the Mountains to Puget Sound, by Clarke's Fork and the Columbia River, no obstructions from snow exist. On this route Gov. Stevens's expresses have been traveling with horses all winter. The greatest depth of snow found by Lieut. Grover was two and a half feet, and that on the mountain spurs overhanging Clarke's Fork. The railroad will be located on the side hill, where the snow will be much less in depth. A practical route to the Sound for the road will be over the Cascades by the Sno-qual-me Pass. r.ir. 1 inkham crossed the pass in Januai% 1 six miles on the divide the snow was from six to seven feet. It then rapidly died out both eastward and westward, only about forty miles in all having snow from one and a half to six feet.— The Columbia River line, affording a connection with both Oregon and Washington will be recommended as certainly practicable—the Sno-qu.'.l-me Pass line saving one hundred and fifty miles as probably practicable, but requiring snbsequent examination. The results of the survey may be summed up as follows: Three lines run from the Mississippi River to the Rocky Mountains nine passes explored in the Rocky Mountains to the end of January three lines run from the Rocky Mountains to the Columbia River and Puget Sound the Cascades explored from the Columbia River to the 49th parallel Puget Sound examined with reference to a railroad depot the fact that not the slightest obstruction will occur from snow established beyond controversy.

Chicago Ohve Branch piles it up.—

Q3" Matt F. Ward has published along letter to the Editors of the United States, which appeared in the Journal of this morning, asking them to hold off condemnation till they have read the report of his trial,

which he has paid for, and had executed to suit his needs, no doubt. He says that Mr. Richardson, a very excellent short hand writer is preparing it. On this hint the Cincinnati Commercial says:

Now, we happen to know something of his affair. Mr. A. D. Richardson is not short hand writer, accomplished or otherwise, and has little or no capacity as a wri ter of any kind. He was employed by the Ward's to report the proceedings of the tri al under their direction, and there is evenreason to suspect that his book, brought out under the patronage of his employers, will be an ex parte and one sided affair for which he will get a high price, and by which the public will be most grievously humbugged.

We think Ward will fail to pull the wool over the eyes of editors throughout the United States, by this very weak effort to humbug the people, and vindicate his character and tnat of the Hardin County Jury.—Lafayette Courier.

ALTON ROAD.—The Paris, lllinoise Beacon learns "that the work on the east end of this road is progressing finely. About two miles of track have been laid from Terre Haute through the Wabash bottoms, to the trestle work. The iron is conveyed to this point on cars, and then hauled around the gap at St. Mary's, to the place where the track is again commenced. From St. Mary's the iron has been laid to the State line. The force at present engaged in laying the track will shortly be increased, so as to enable them to lay about half a mile per day.— Large quantities of iron rails and chairs are arriving at Terre Haute, ar.d a good force is at work cutting the iron. jfijL

Ties sufficient te construct the road to tne Chicago branch are nearly all delivered, and the road bed will be in readiness for the track as fast as it can be laid. One pier of the Embarrass River Bridge is completed, and the other two well advanced. All the work from the Embarrass to Terre Haute will be completed early in the fall, and to the Chicago branch as early as the first of January next.— Prairie City.

A CAUTION TO DEALERS IN POOR LIQUOR. —A Stillwater correspondent of the Minnesota Pioneer narrates the following amusing incident, which transpired at the Springterm of the Circuit Court of St. Croix county, Wisconsin:

The Judge of the Circuit Court lately in session at Hudson, in Wisconsin, gave a ciiargc (o the jury in a certain action tried before him, which excited considerable merriment in the court room at the time.

The action was to recover the value of certain liquors sent from below, and consigned for sale to the defendant. Evidence was given on the part of the defendant to show that the brandies, etc., were made of forty cent whisky and drugged at that whereat the Judge appeared quite indignant, and charged the jury very nearly as follows: "GENTLEMEN OF THE JUKV—Pure, unadulterated liquor is a wholesome and pleasant beverage, and as far as the experience of the Court extends, conduces to health ta Anna fled, and longevity but a bad article of liquor, gentlemen, or what is worse, a drugged article, cannot be tolerated, and if dealers from below will send up into this beautiful country, so blessed with the smiles of a benign Creator, such a miserable quality of liquors as the proof shows litis to be, in th court, gentlemen of the jury, they cannot. recover."'

NAPOLEON ON RUSSIAN POLICY. The follow in* language was lield by Napoleon at St. Helena. It has already received a closer verification than often beeven inspired prophecy: "In the course of a few years Russia will have Constantinople, part of Turkey, and all Greece. This I hold to be as certain as if it had already taken place. Almost all the cajolery and flattery that Alexander practised against me, was to gain my consent to effect that object. I would not give it, forseeing that the equilibrium of Europe would be destroyed. In the natural course of things, Turkey must fall to Russia. The Powers it would injure, and who would oppose it, are England, France, Prussia and Austria. Now, as to Austria, it would be very easy for Russia to engage her assistance, by giving her Servia and other provinces bordering upon the Austrian dominions, reaching near to Constantinople. The only hypothesis that Franco and England will ever be allied with anything like sincerity, will be to prevent this. But even this alliance would not avail.— France, England and Prussia, united, cannot prevent it. Russia and Austria can at any time effect it. Once mistress of Constantinople, Russia gets all the commcrco of the Mediterranean, becomes a great naval power, and God knows what may happen."

NEW ORLEANS, May 22nd.

The steamer United States with dates from San Francisco to the 1st inst,, has arrived at this port from Aspinwall, whence she sailed on the 17th ult. She brings 100 passengers.

The Steamer Illinois sailed from Aspinwall the same day for New York having on board 400 passengers and $700,000 in gold.

The steamer Sonora, from New \ork, arrived at Panama, on the 8th inst., in 17 days, running time.

The market at San Francisco continued dull, and prices of the leading articles wens depressed- Gallego and Haxall Flour was selling at 812.

Mr. Dillon the Frcnch Consul at San Francisco having been arrested and brought into court, to testify in the case of the Mexican Consul, was so offended that he hauled down his flag, and will not raise it again, until ordered by the Emperor. The Mexican consul was found guilty, but was recommended to mercy. Col.

The ship "Golden Fleece," when bearing out of the harbor of San Francisco, on tho 22nd of April, struck a rock and became a total wreck.

The Bark "Walker Claxtin," capsized and is a total wreck. Thirteen lives were io--t.

The steamer Gazette exploded on the Columbia river in Oregon, by which 25 were killed and wounded.

The accounts from the mining districts are most flattering. Gold was being found in great abundance.
