The following are the resolutions adopts
ed by the late democratic Territorial Cons
vention, at which Gen. Dodge was unani-
ifiously nominated for reelection to Com
gress. They were put in type for last
weeks paper, but were unavosdably crowd
ed out. We commend them to the perusal
OF our friends, as showing strict adhe-
rance to the ancient and approved land
marks ofrepublicanism by the democracy Of
Iowa.


Resolced, That we regard with unalloyed
satisfaction the triumph Of the Democratic
party in November last, which placed a
democrat at the head Of our National Cow
ernment, and restored its administration 10
the hands Of those who have proved them
selves worthy of its management.


| Resolred, That we cordially approve the
Inaugeral Address Of President Polk, and
all his acts since he has been at the head Of
the government--that we regard him as
wise in council, firm Of purpose, unwav-
ering III principle, and worthy Of the Gn-
bounded confidence and support Of the
American People.


RESOLVED, That We regard the establish
ment Of a Bank of the United States, or ol
any other bank Of discount and deposite, as
dangerous to the liberties and blighting to
the welfare Of the people; and we conf
IDENTIFY look forward to the time when the
establishment of the one or the other will
be an s'obsolete idea"

button of the sales of the public lands
among the several states,. as measure
frau2ht with the most disastrous conse.
quences 10 the states.

Of 1912 as one Of the last Of the whig aboin-
nations, which It is the will and the duty
of the people to repeal as soon as possible
that we are opposed to any Tariff for pro-
lection; that we abhor that doctrine which
protects the wealth of The rich, and inoreas-
es the burdens Of the poor; which imposes
heavy tax on the neGessarics Of life, and
light duty on its luxuries, and we arc un-
compromisingly opposed to any other tar:
iff than such as win incidentally proteci
those branches of domestic industry which
absolutely require the aid Of government.
Resolved, That WE approve the recent
act Of Congress admitting Texas into the

closer the chains OF the Union OF the States


never, we hope, to be severed, and extend


the area Of freedom to thousands of The
Anglo Saxon race.


Rcso1wi, That we regard the title Of ths


United States TO Oregon, as clear and un.


questionable that we approveofthecou


Of our National Executive on that subject
/ and applaud his determination to adhere e


all our treaty stipulations with Great Brit


ain, and while we hold it honorable among


nations as among men, to make all reason


able concessions for the purpose Of avoid
ing controversy, that we never can acqui
I esce in surrender Of that which is clearl.
] our own, to the graspiDg avarice Of tn
