Mr. Lnwlorinquired what wasthe nature and

M r. Wise iitquired whether these resolutions
did not tfiuch the question of the abolition of

Th; Cha_ir observed that the gentleman had

Mr. \Vise believed that they were. and that .

were, withour reference or deziate, to be laid on

The Chair inquired of Mr. Cashing whether
the resolutitins in question referred to the subject

Mr. Cashing said that they contained a’ pro-

MORE SIGNS.
The Loco-Foco State Central Committee.
headed by the Hartford Postmaster. have issued
their “ general orders" for a “ State Convention.
to be holden at Midilletowii on the third \Vcd—
uesday of February. then and there to” approve
the nominations regularly made out and forward-
ed frotn \Vasltiugton, for Governor, Lieutenant
Governor. Treasurer. Secretary, and Comptrol-
ler. The order. of course, comes out first in the
Hartford Times. with a request that other “ dc-
mocratic” editors should passthe word alnngtlte
line. The columns of“company orders" in the
Times show that the " regulars" are not ttomind-,
ful ofthe Soles oftlieir discipline.-and that they
will be prompt at the rendezvous. That they
will faithfully obey orders when they arrive
upon the ground, we have no reason to doubt.
Meanwhile we learn that another_'‘ democrat-
lc” State Convention is to be held on the second
Thursday of ‘February. for the purpose of
"nominating suitable candidates for state offi-
cers." We have not seen the order for the latter
meeting. but we apprehend it did not emanate
from head quarters. All " true democrats” may
rest assured, we think. that the doings of this
meeting whatever may be their character. never
never will be sanctioned at the Hartford Post

The “ doomed Administralion.”-—\Ve think it
requires no logic to prove that the present is em-
phatically a “ doomed Azlministration,” and that
power is destined inevitably to depart front the
hands ofthe party now wielding it. We believe
that rational and candid men of all parties
admit this, and that Mr. Van Bureti him-
so fhas no hope of rescue, except by throwing
himself upon some ofthe favorite dogrnas of a
portion the Sotitlierit VVliigs. Such a calcula-
tion. we know, is made, but: we are inclined to
tltink it is but a false hope of the despairing-.—
_ \Ve do not see;liow matters can possibly change,
so as to produce a better result for Mr. Van
Buren, than a. neutralization of a few of the
v Southern States which lately appeared certainly
to be against him. In the North and VVest, he
is irretrievtibly beaten, and without the aid of his
own State and Pennsylvania, his vote tnust ne-
cessarily be meagre and insignificant.
The changes since March last are unprece-
dented in the history of this country. Every
State which has voted, with the exception ofVir-
ginia. (and here no issue was made up.) has given
unequivocal marks ofwaning affection for Gen.
Jackson's t‘successor.”-Richmonrl W/rig

is not surpassed, perhaps. by any other location

store has been in operation there. or near there
for the last twelve years, and consequently a
good share of patronage is already obiained.——
The subscriber wishing to engage in other busi-
