The Iowa Democratic Hint.' Convention aaaemj 

 bled at Des Moines on the 23d ult., and made the 

 following nominations:— Governor, A. C. Dodge;

Tits Democracy of Maine met in Convention on 

 the l»t inst.— 625 delegates present. The Com- 

 mittee on resolutions reported u scries which were 

 adopted, declaring among other things, that the 

 Democracy of Maine re-assert the principles or 

 Popular Sovereignly us the basis of their policy in 

 rcferenee to the Territories, opposing any Legisla- 

 tion by Congress to establish, abolish, regulate or 

 protect Slavery in the Territories ; that the people 

 or the Territories, like those or the States, should 

 decide the question of Slavery for themselves ; de- 

 claring it the duty of the Democratic party to resist 

 all temptations to interpolate in its creed a Con- 

 gressional Slave Code for the Territories, on the 

 doctrine that the Constitution establishes or pro- 

 hibits Slavery in the Territories beyond the powers 

 of the people to control it; and declaring against 

 the opening or the Slave trade. The resolutions 

 denounce the two year's amendment in Massa- 



> for 



neasure or humanity in regard to the Slave trade 

 nd favorable to American Commerce. They en- 

 loi.-e the administration of President Buchanan in 

 egard to its management of our foreign relations, 

 the suppression of the Utah rebellion, the execu- 

 on of the neutrality laws, and the exercise of rc- 

 enchment and economy.

 as having been seen, six miles north of Ft. Wajue, 

 Indiana, at 4 o'clock on the morning of the 2d.—

They reached Lake Erie, above Sandusky, aboul

 were opposite Buffalo. In the last 100 miles on 

 this lake, a current of air in which they floated 

 gradually bore tbem to the water, until on several 

 occasions their elevation did not exceed 300 feet. 

 Soon after passing the Falls, the strength of this
