POR VICE PRESIDENT JAMES S. GREEN Of Missouri. Subject tv the nominations of the Democrat! National Convention. @@ The Charleston Convention have done exactly as we theinght it would do, and asit should have done. Ignore the nigger issue in every possible manner, this is policy, this is right. The therough nationalization ef the Democratic party is now powerfully and enduribly consummated. evenin the eyes of Black Republicans. “No North—no South —no Eust—no West—Moderation—Truth —Justice, and the Constitution” —these are the Jwatchwords ef the Democratic party the sublime inscription of the true patriot everywhere, and are the harbingers of the most illustrious of Democratic triumphs ia . the year 1860. Dissolution of the Charleston Convention, is a dissolution of the Democtacy from everything that can reflect evena suspicion of its national character; and con selidates within itself a power which shall brook and break down sectionalism and fanaticismeverywhere and inaugurate a policy which will ne more pain the patriot with the fear of hie country’siuin. We arethank!ul for the unflinching wisdom of the National Con vention of the Democracy. Great Basin Indian Dilliculties. We have a prospect before us ef an almost interminable series of diMculties with the Indian tribes of the Great Basin. From its great mineral wealth, diffused, as we have reason to believe, throughout the whole territory, the whites will have evr ry indu ment to its occupation, which will be incon. sistent with the desires and life of the Indian, are necessarily lead to frequent collisions with him. Hostile fevlings arising from wh mutual distrust that now exists, and will continue to exist between the white man and the Indian, will render prospecting for the precious metals on the pert of the fermer perilous, and prove a serious drawback to the development of the mincra! wealth of the Great Basin and consequently to terprise of individuals, and the pr the Pacific coast in perfecting those ¢ Projects so intimately connected with its ambition, its interests and its happiness. Could the American be permitted to pros pect the region of the Great Basin, we are confident that an amount of mineral wealth would be proven to exist within its bounds, which would give an impulse so powerful to the populating of the country, to mining and to commerce, as to render the construction of the Pacific Railroad a work of such manifest expediency, that it could not be delayea fer a single year. But, as things now are, the excessive enterprise ef the miners, which can be bounded hy neither mountains, snow or deserts, will be held in painful check.It becomes the interest of the Uniied States Government— no less than its duty—to ‘protect its people inthose pursuits of industry and enterprise which attract them to the Cireat Basin. do this sit will become necessary to accompany mining settlements with so many military stations aud soldiers as may be demanded to secure safety to our people in the prosecution of their business. The regular army should be increased five or six thoueand men, We do net perceive how we can afford adequate security co our citizens bordering upon territory occupied by warlike . tribes of Indians without doing as much. We have now near ten thousand miles of country exposed continually [to the inroads of hostile Iudians, and it is aa utter impos sibility to afford anything like protection to our citizens with the preseut numerical . strength of the American army. The old saying that an “ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,’ applies appropriately as a reason why we should iacrease the strength of our regular soliliery. Were eur border country properly guarded . by military stations, and cur popalation . followed up as it should be in the oceupation of our wild domains the Jadians would th wie en be deterred from depredations, and thusmany valuable lives of white people would be saved, Indian wars would in a great . Measure be prevented, together with the . enormous expense attending their prosecution by volvnteer forces gotten up in that extravagant manner always attending emergent action. The Great n will hereafter require a Bumbder of stations efficiently occupied by forces of the regular army. New Bets.— The bell intended for the the Congregationai Church was received on Wednesday.

POR VICE PRESIDENT JAMES S. GREEN Of Missouri. Subject tv the nominations of the Democrat! National Convention. @@ The Charleston Convention have done exactly as we theinght it would do, and asit should have done. Ignore the nigger issue in every possible manner, this is policy, this is right. The therough nationalization ef the Democratic party is now powerfully and enduribly consummated. evenin the eyes of Black Republicans. “No North—no South —no Eust—no West—Moderation—Truth —Justice, and the Constitution” —these are the Jwatchwords ef the Democratic party the sublime inscription of the true patriot everywhere, and are the harbingers of the most illustrious of Democratic triumphs ia . the year 1860. Dissolution of the Charleston Convention, is a dissolution of the Democtacy from everything that can reflect evena suspicion of its national character; and con selidates within itself a power which shall brook and break down sectionalism and fanaticismeverywhere and inaugurate a policy which will ne more pain the patriot with the fear of hie country’siuin. We arethank!ul for the unflinching wisdom of the National Con vention of the Democracy. Great Basin Indian Dilliculties. We have a prospect before us ef an almost interminable series of diMculties with the Indian tribes of the Great Basin. From its great mineral wealth, diffused, as we have reason to believe, throughout the whole territory, the whites will have evr ry indu ment to its occupation, which will be incon. sistent with the desires and life of the Indian, are necessarily lead to frequent collisions with him. Hostile fevlings arising from wh mutual distrust that now exists, and will continue to exist between the white man and the Indian, will render prospecting for the precious metals on the pert of the fermer perilous, and prove a serious drawback to the development of the mincra! wealth of the Great Basin and consequently to terprise of individuals, and the pr the Pacific coast in perfecting those ¢ Projects so intimately connected with its ambition, its interests and its happiness. Could the American be permitted to pros pect the region of the Great Basin, we are confident that an amount of mineral wealth would be proven to exist within its bounds, which would give an impulse so powerful to the populating of the country, to mining and to commerce, as to render the construction of the Pacific Railroad a work of such manifest expediency, that it could not be delayea fer a single year. But, as things now are, the excessive enterprise ef the miners, which can be bounded hy neither mountains, snow or deserts, will be held in painful check.It becomes the interest of the Uniied States Government— no less than its duty—to ‘protect its people inthose pursuits of industry and enterprise which attract them to the Cireat Basin. do this sit will become necessary to accompany mining settlements with so many military stations aud soldiers as may be demanded to secure safety to our people in the prosecution of their business. The regular army should be increased five or six thoueand men, We do net perceive how we can afford adequate security co our citizens bordering upon territory occupied by warlike . tribes of Indians without doing as much. We have now near ten thousand miles of country exposed continually [to the inroads of hostile Iudians, and it is aa utter impos sibility to afford anything like protection to our citizens with the preseut numerical . strength of the American army. The old saying that an “ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,’ applies appropriately as a reason why we should iacrease the strength of our regular soliliery. Were eur border country properly guarded . by military stations, and cur popalation . followed up as it should be in the oceupation of our wild domains the Jadians would th wie en be deterred from depredations, and thusmany valuable lives of white people would be saved, Indian wars would in a great . Measure be prevented, together with the . enormous expense attending their prosecution by volvnteer forces gotten up in that extravagant manner always attending emergent action.
