The Union is opposed to i loan*— thinks it cannot hr

power of re issuing them, are no' Authorised, no rrhrf

add nothing to what Mr. Vinton has said.
DUMOC HATIC HOUNDS.
The Democratic members of the Legislature «'f Prim
xylvauit have unanimously iioiumaird Mr. Buchanan
as a candidate fr I he Presidency—subject, of Course, te
the decision of a National Convi r.l on. The pntgrrs*
of events in that Slate clearly iidt*a'cs that the Seen*
tary of State has w;t as de the N ice President. Mr.
Buchanan, notwithstanding his old federalism, standi
the best chance, we are inclined to think, nf any of the
aspirants f »r the nomination of his party.
I h Democratic State Convent ion of Michigan—fol
lowing the example of similar gatherings in Ohio ard
Indiana — have unanimously nominated Oencal l ass
as their first choice for the Presidency. Wc find in the
Union the* address put f. rtli by lIn* Democratic Statu
Conve ntion nf New York, lately assembled in Albany.-—■
I his Convention is of that portion of the party called the
old Hunker, or the Dr. BrandTcih (the piH man) i<ec
tion. I he ad<ir< ss is an ailr. it document. It oppwses
the incorjHjration « f the Wilmot proviso as a party test,
and boldly avows tire cause of "acquisition of territory
as compensation and indemnity.” As we understand it*
in tact, the conquest of the whole of Mexico is urged.—
Tin* following extract will illustrate the m w morality a; '
disgusting cant of the day : —
"The title of the Mexican goVernm nt is a title bf
conques: from liman wh > held it by conquest. If w# took
n and held it hy the same title, they nnild not complain.
Their title is legal, nnd our title would also be legal —
Asa moral question, if they have wronged us, if tln*j
owe nsa debt which they are morally bound to pay,and
b ought upon themselv, a the war by violating a moral
duly, then our moral right to retain the irrr lory in the
payment of the debt, is a> stlong as is the moral duly **•
pay w here payment is due. Kron* the very nature of »*«f
instituti ms, and the form and design i.fotir government*
such territory, when acquired, would not I** hold liy con

\\e would hold it, not ior our use,hat firths use of
man, he he there, or come wh nee lie*may. It would be
he|c only to tie surrendered to the government of the oc
cupants , f the laud ! Can territory lie h* Id hy conqus’*
w hull is alike free to all, and is governed,of is to be got -
ern d, by its occupants, by :t government of heir own 1
\\ r deny that such a tenure is a tenure by conquest, as
inch tenure lias been known in the world It is no m**r«
tb.u» tin* res tor a loiiofowal rights by legal means. W **
(the Aoicri ’an people) have devolved upon us the great
W' rk e| restoring to man his long lost riglrs. The mesas
