Uestdved, That the onward p'ogrcss of free principles is not couljued lo this country: that inasmuch as the restriciive policy in this couiitiy w bned ly Mr Chy and" his as-sociatf-s, iu 1 82 U and 1824, mainly upon ihe necessity of thus retaliating upon Europe lor her refusal lo ptj' h;tse our surplus agricultural product, the. abolition of those reP iclion.s nbiniul demands of u a corresponding change in our lto j,H j,MK 0. iit soivi-d, That the present unexampled prosperity i,'ini( tigiiculiurnl tind shipping iu leiests calls for Ihe gratitude of all who love iheit country. 'I'ho.e intere.-ds have to long been mad; subservient to one lavmed, patn piocd class, by a patty which has been lung and cliff getirnlly engaged in building up rhses ol ' aggrrgaletJ weallb, thai by their aid ll: y injoh; mle lh is nation. 4. Kesolvfd, That the j.tedictions of ruin which rang through ihe land upon the passage of (he tn iff of 1816, and which weie the rally ing cry of federalism i? lbs subsequent elec tions, and are heard even now from lhe??i'e lired statesman of Ahlaud, become ludicrous under the signal proofs of prosperity attending upon even ihe manufacturing and coal and it on interests, evinced bv multiplying fic lories, calls lor hands t wink them, main tained pi ices, end :he cetiainty of far'bettei ptoiits upon in vesf.uieuts under the new tat iff than are tealized by any other classes. 5. Itesolved, I h:il the idea of a home mar ket for the surplus products of our agriculture is reiKleteil even wmse lhan ludtcious when we find our seapoits glutted with that surplus, afle filling and sending off ihe wholo,meican lile ma.ii::e which the pressiug calls of famine h is !cni iu huiubcds l receive and Iranspoil it to foreign lands. Ail the manufacturers, atrd coal aud iron men in the Lnion, could not roiiMime lh.it whih will remain after sup plying Europe, if" they wee lo do nothing but eal fiom now uniil next harvest. G. liesolvcd, That the fedeta! patty, which calls it-elf the conservative paity, shows itscll entitled to that name by resotting to every imaginable device, aud entering into every kiud of combination, for the purpose of there upon mounting into power, which they have iilways ued for ihe oppression of the laboring millions, and Ihe adding lo the wealth of the itch; that in their Union with anti-rent and abolition fai.ai.ies and tiaitors, and with n 1 1 1 'v i-t tigitatois, they have .-how u that with them, coiiservati-m means to take care of thctnselvcs, tegaidless of right, aud justice, and law. K. l esoived, 'I hat ihe iMir r.ow exi-titig with Mexico is one of her own seeking, forc ed upon tlm country by the rulers of ifeyl republic, and tnut be waged wi h vigor aud perse vera t;ce unlil brought to an honorable termination; lhat we lament the fall of our I brave countrymen whhfvo perished in the p.... . ... i? field; but f' el pruud ol tbe glorious acneive ments on the Ilio Grande aud at Woiiteiey, a fre.-h evidence of the irreys-stible energy i, font country when battling for her rights, 8. Resofv'cd, That we believe the great majorily of the people of this country arc demorrcilic in principUi and feeling; that ihey approve of the mea-sutes which have been adopb d for ihe amelioration of the condi tion of labor, and the e.-labli-hmenl of equal rights in classes of c itizen?-; we therefore cull upon all those who thus feel, lo muse up lo immediate notion lor the suppott of those mea-u'es aud principle..' 9. Resolved, That after the brilliant victo ry obtained by the democratic paily iu 1844, we have no lears of entering into the conlesl of 1S18 wish any man as out standard-bearer who may be selected by the democratic nation al onventioii, confident that a g'oi iotis victory again awniv u, whedier we have to combat ihe fedetal hosts under the lead of Ileniy Clay, or some leaser light oflh.it great fedeial iuniiuaty. 13. Resolved, That we nnsl lespeclfullv but earnestly cad upon ,ui democratic bre thren throughout ihe Union to lay differences upon the aliar of nr common couuPy; to let by-gones be by-gones; to ralr-y, as of old, wifh the spint of one will, one determination, and t let ihe watchword heucefoith be '- union. concession, narmouy -everjtning tor tne cause, nothing for men."

It mray not be knowiilo many of our readers that an es tablishment has been formed in our ciiy -in-der the above name, for the puipose of sup plying our citizens with milk in a pure state. The milk sold by this company is brought in the cars from the rich daries of Baltimore county and Fork and Lancaster counties, Pennsylvania. This plan of supplying large cities with pure milk, at reduced prices, has been tried with great success in New York and other cities, and ha also been much en couraged here. The principal depot of the compauy is at the cornor of North and Sara toga streets, were persons, by leaving their names, many have the milk served at their I residences in any part of tbe city. Haiti hmore American. FA YETTEVILLE, SATURDAY, JANUARY 16. 1847. From the Pennsylvania!!. HIE TOWNS AND COUNTRY ON THE COAST OF THE GULF OF MEXICO. The recent operations of Ihe Navy in ihe Gulf of Mexico, the concentration of the enemy at San Luis Potosi, and the evident design of the American army lo move in ihe same direction, will render information re specting the population of the various towns along the coast, ihe face of tbe rountry in the departments adjoining, together with the pro ducts of the soil, aud the distances between these places aud San Lui9 Potosi and the city of Mexico added lo the character of tbe several harbors of the highest importance. We are indebted for. this pleasure to a gentleman who writes of what he personally knows, aud who speaks of what he has dee ii. If our leaders arc not as much inte'esled as we have been in his valuable details and facts, we shall be much surprised : Si-al and Campeachy on the west coast of YuCatau, are important only as ports of entry for Meridii and the inleiioi towns of Yucatan, and as shipping points for logwood, Sisal grass, &c. Yucatau does not contribute to the support of the general government, and has no comm. miration with Mexico by land. Laguna, at the southeast bottem of the Gulf, has a population of about 3,000 is healthy, lies ou Ihe west end of an island, aud at ihe mouth of Laguna de terminos. It is impor tant lo a hoslile force, as a depot and water ing station, and culling off communication beiween Yucatau and Mexico. Harbors safe and sheltered from all winds. The bar at the month passable with fifteen feet of water. The country bordering the various streams emptying into the Lagoon, is covered with forests of logwood, and is sparsely inhabited by wood-cutler, and much cut up bv water courses. It has ati iulind Communication with Tabasco, navigable by steamers. The only defence is a block house with two gun?. The haibor is at all limes accessible. Tabasco river empties into the Gulf about 50 miles west of Laguna. The mouth of the river is protected by a bar, shifting with gnles aud river fieshets depth of water ou the bar varying from S to 10 feel. Fronteta, a village of about 300 inhab itants, lies at ihe mouth of the river. The city of Tabasco lies about 70 miles from the moulh of the stream, which is rapid. and can only be ascended with tbe aid of steam or a leading b;eeze. The district of Tobasco, in proper hands, would bo lich iu ig'icullural products, having, for the most part, a rich strong otr. Its chief products are now cattle, dye-wood, and a large quan tity of cacao, which is highly esteemed by the Mexicans, and is shipped to all parts of the country. The laud communication with Veia Cruz district is very difficult and Icdi-ou-, and rarely or neyer attempted, the tithing boats and mall coasters rendering water communication more easy. There is not any port between Tabasco aud Alvarado, ex cept ut ihe mouth of 'he river Huasac.ialeo, whih may be entered by fronts diawing four feel, ami is worthy -of notice as being of the contemplated lines of cunal communication w ith ihe Pacific ocean. Alvarado is about 220 miles west of Tabas co, and about 40 S. E. of Vet a Cruz. Al the mouth of the rivet is a shifting bar over which the water varies from 9 to 15 feet. After crossing ihis, there is plenty of water. The waters me navigable through a lagoon S. E. of ihe city, to Jolucn, a town of 4,000 souls, about 40 to 50 miles fioin the bar. The town of Alvarado lies about 1 J miles fiom ihe bar, contains a population of about 8U0, and is defeLded by the difficulty of ap proaehing it over the bar, and a recently erect ed fort ; but iu the summer season, they would prove but poor defences, as, in calm weaihei, a hostile force could be lauded nuder the guu.i ol hips of war, (which could ap proach quite near to the beach) and thy works and the town could be- taken fiom the rear. During the revolutions whilst the Castle of San Juan de Ullon was in possession of the forces of Spain, Alvarado became (he chief or! of erpy on he Gulf, and most of the imporis niid- expoits were through it, as il has the ivdvantiTgo of an easy and safe road-lo ihe inteiior ; and it is by this route an invading anny would encounter the fewest natural ob stacles iu marching to the city of Mexico, ihe tountiy being eq-ua! lo the sustenance of an army,- wl;h abundance of water,- and no strong points for defence. The cruising ground off Alvarado is exceedingly perilous duriur the wiu.er months, where the northers blow with extreme violence. The products are cattle aud cochineal. Anton Liz-irdo. (where our squadron has been anchored,) 30 miles noithwesf of A4 vaiado, and 10 miles feouthf-ast from Vera Cruz, is one of ihe very bust harbors on the gulf, being accessible at all limes, aud pro ected from ihe swell of the sea by coral reefs and saud islands. There is- uoi any town here only a few fishing huts. Vera Cruz, with iu defences, ami now im pregnable castle, is so well know n as not to require particular notice here. The terrible S3 n Jnian de Ulloa protects the town, and tbe road to Ihe city of Mexico is defensible in so many points-,-especially at PuerHe del Uey, (where a few brave men could hold ati anuy in check,) that an attempt to reach the city of Mexico by its route would be Quixotic. - Abe population of Vera Cruz is variously estimat ed at from 25,000 to 40,000 souls. It is the chief port on ihe gulf. About SO miles norihwest of Vera Cruz, is the small poit of Tecolulla, and near to it Boca de Lima, both of which can ouly be entered by small craft and boats. No good anchorage. In ihis disuicl aio cultivated the Yauiia bean and Jalav, alsi, ihe fiigoli, a large black heart, which is a lavoiiie article of consumption with ihe Mexicans. Tuspau jcs 120 miles noilhacstof Ye-n Cruz, aud SO miles soulheat of Tampico, aud is menorable loin the loss upon its bar of the Uuiled Stales brig Truxlon. 'Ihe towu has 110 aitificial defences, being sofli cieully protected by the bar at the mouth of ibe river, which is inaccessible lo vessels dtawin;: over 4 feet. Population said lobe about, 2,000. It has an inland water corn municaiion, almost to Tampico, through the lake of Tumiagua, celebrated for ils shrimp fishery. It communicates with the cilv.'ol Mexico and interior towns by ihe road from Tampico. ,The country abounds with cattle. Tampico river empties into ihe Gulf about 200 miles noithwesl of Vera Cruz. The entrance is protected by a dangerous bar, which is constantly shifting, and a small temporary fort; the old fort, which stood a I ihe mouth of ihe river, has beeu literally wash ed away by the swell of the sea, sem in by nor thers. For mouths at a lime there will uot.be over six feel of water 011 the bar, white a shift, produced by a single no'lher, will piohahly leave a channel for vessels of fifteen feet draught. There is no protection whatever from the north winds outside the bar, and it is not safe to lie-off long at a time dm it" Ihe season of northers, which aie offen as sudden as terrible. The lown stands about live miles from the bar, contains a population of about 5,000, has no military defence aud the au thorities will not give any cause for a 11 invad ing force lo handle them as the people of Tabas co have recently been Ireated. The country (as is almost air the 'country north aud east of the mountains, between Vera Cruz district and the Rio Grande,) is rough, wild, and much broken by watei -courses. The pro ducts tfie fuslic and cattle the grain and flour being all brought from Puebla aud (he country south of ihe mountains. The Pauuco branch of the Tampico river is . navigable for 40 miles, for vessels draw inn- S feet. The climate or Tampico is bad for northern con st ih.-t ions, and for some mouths is exceeding ly unhealthy, iu consequence of the swamps and marshes, which, in a great measure, sur round it. There is a mfule road to Ihe inter ior, by which Mexico aud San Lui de Potosi may be reached through ihe defiles and gorges, aud (in some places) over the Sierras. Next to Vera Cruz, Tampico is the iTrosf important port iu Ihe Gulf, as through it, the rich, impor tant, aud populous districts of San Luis, Que- reiero, duannxato, ncalecas. . aud a part -of Durango receive their imporis and send away Iheir specie, hidesy jalap, &c. From Tampico the course of the coast is nearly ryorth, to S. inlander or Soti la Ma-rind, which is about 80 miles distant. This last port is accessible only to vessels of light d-aught, say not over seven feet. Il is through this port, in connexion with Malamoros, that Ihe dis tricts of northern Tamaulipas. New Leon, and Durango receive iheir supplies of foreign products. The Ilio Grande, about 140 miles north of Santander, is famiHart to us all, from the recent military operatious on its batiks. There is a chain of small lakes, or sounds, extending about 160 miles-of distance be tween Tampico aud ihe Rio Giande, of which wc have no reliable information, bin believed, for the most part, lo be to hoal lor navigation; even by flat boats. But little is known of this country along the' coast, except ihat it is wild and much cut, up by streams emptying into tbe shoal lakes. Fiom ihe recent maps of Mexico, it will be seen thai the road from Tampico to Mexico resents a larger distance, across the Sierra Madre, lhan from Tula to San la Barbara, on ihe road to Potosi. From Tampico to Al lamiia, 21 miles to Miradores from Al'amira, 2& miles from Miradores lo Santa Carbarn, 20 from Santa' Baibera to -Tula, - nboul 36 miles, hi.iI from Tula lo Borrego, 36 or 40 mile-, &e , &c. Iu all- this route, when I IraveHd it iu 1S14, there were plenty of cat tle, deer, birds, and water. rrom Vera Cruz to Santa he, 12 miles; Santa Fe lo King's bridge, 12 or 16 miles ; from thence to Jalap? about 40 miles ; from Jalapa to Perote, which is in a table hud, about 25 miles. Iu this route pleufy of cattle and water". . From Sempoala to Vera Cuiz, 24 miles, the lahd, aud till yon come to the top of the hill, all is white sand, and so continues along ihe coast for many miles south of Vera Cruz, to the depth of from five to fen miles, and here we fittd no water. The sand hills which are be found, are altered iu .-hapebvthe wind The trees upou this sandy land are full of In pits; and aloes grow up here !o. Cubo Rojo, or Brown CHpe, affords a good shelter for small vessels, and i: was the place where smugglers- landed their cargoes for Mexico. There is a mule toad, but very difficult for travellers. Ou the north side of Point Sharp- there i a smalltown and a creek by the' name of Saula Alios, where we were supplied wilh provisions. It is al the foot of the Sierra' Madre, which entfw in this poiul. I he only two best roads to the city of Mexico, ou account of food, water, and popu lation, are by ihe King's Bridge and1 Tam pico; not only because of provision, and be caue these two roads have been travelled constantly, aud must be iu fiood condition, but because, when ibe mountains are crossed, they are right forward, which, if attempted from Alvarado, must be siding the mouutains, which are more tedious on account of broken fragments lo bo found there. True, the Bridge is strooser than Gibraltar; J.but then each army can, wilh equal advantage, foilily itself, aud advance upon its adversary inch by inch. In ihis, however, ihe advantage given lo the paity occupying the west side is, thai it can be provided with every kind of neces saries of life fiom the fertile lauds back of I hem. From Tula to Santa Barbara, there is, iu the very eeiitio of the mountain, a spot cal led the Gallitos, or Little Chickens, which spot cannot be any other but where God placed Adam and Eve. In ihis place the 'nvellcT tests for some days. In both routes, when the mountains have been crossed, tbe clime is as healthy and free ftonr every kind of miasnin'a aud disease as any in the best of Europe. Mutual IirsurtNcf; Compawt.

Native Loadstone has been discovered on Middle Island, Lake Superior. The Cleve land Herald is infOrnled that the entire trap region of Lake Superior is magnetic l such a degree that a common needle i in most parts entirely useless. - The trap rock itself, composing vast rattges of mo'unta?rfs, and the ?gneous rocks in connexion with The trap, is an immense magnet. Boulders of thai rock, scattered through the adjacent level regions, attract, and repel the needle,, a I short distances, in the saiffe fnan'tfer as iron ore.

Hold your tongue, old boy, I found your knife amongst my cabbages; how came il there ?" The fellow was struck ffmnb. .
