Out at Last.

Il seems Il at the plan which that be-
rrayer ofhis countrymen, Louis Napoleon
has so long meditated, of retaining the
possession of power. has been at last di-
vulged. The Paris Moniteur, of Septem,
her Gath, in kind Of semi-official mani
iesto. SAYS that the President, "for the
sake Of meeting the menaclng attitude OF
the monarchlcal party during the last two
months, will apply to the Assembly for a
prolongqtion of power. which he only
asks for the sake of establishing order,
confidence and credit, and with no dy-
nastic views; and if refused, he will not
hesitate to make an appeal TO the people. "
But it should be noted that the word peo-
pie here should be electors, for more than
half of the people were lately DISTINGUISHED
through the efforts Of this same unprincl-
pied and selfish Napoleon.--Stn.

WHERE LIES THE EVIL !,

Our last Congress passed acts which would
for recklessness, injustice and inhumanity
have disgraced the most AFFECT nation of earth
and which are burning stigma on the fame of
our republic, that years cannot efface, for in
stance the $l0,0O0,O0O, Texas bounty, and the
Fugitive Slave Bill. When Congress first as
sembled there were perhaps not 10 among the
whole Northern members, but would have re-
jected with scorn and indignation, proposition
to induce them to vote for such measures and
yetit was through their instrumentality finally,
that these measures became laws and now dis
grace our land. How was this accomplished?
To US it is as clear as MONDAY, and we will ex-
plain it.
Mr.. Elmore has been nominated for Congress
in this district by the Convention of a party
claiming to be of the great national Democratic
party--and he is now before the people solely
through the fundamentally of that organization
He is by no means man whom the people
would spontaneously select as their representa-
tive. AS an independent candidate he would
not have strength enough to excite even mo-
ments attention from any person. He is then
not the candidate of the people, but the candid
ate OF this machinery, and if he is elected it will
be solely through the power and potency of this
machinery. Towhom then does ne owe fealtv?
Not to the people. for he is not their candidate
but to this machinery organization. He goes to
Washington full of determination to carry out
the wishes of the people, who, obeying the die
tates of this organization, elected him. But
when he gets there, he finds, that in virtue of the
power which put him up and elected him, he is
as much the representative of South Carolina as
he is of Wisconsin. The "party" elected him
and he is one of She party" and he is called on
at once to choose between the ''people' and ''the
party" Naturally, he decides in favor of that
power, through which alone he got to Washing
ton, and he goes in to sustain the 'party organi-
zation." The South says you must do so aud
SO, or the party will be dissolved. Well, saws
Mr.. Elmore, it won't do to have the party dissol-
we'd, for it was solely through the party organi-
eaton that got where am, or have any hopes
Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1850-1854, 1850-10-18

As we view it, Mr.. Gilmore is no more legltl-
mately before the people as candidate, than Il
Mr.. Durkee What is the object of Conven-
ton? To get at the win of the people. Well.
take this Assembly District for example, and we
venture the assertion without fear of contradc-
ton, that not so men, all told, took part in the
primary meetings to send delegate TO conven-
ton. In the same district four times as many
men and twice as many Democrats have request
ed Mr.. Durkee to be candidate-and take the
whole Congressional District, we have no doub.
but more democrats have requested Mr.. Durkee
to be candidate than took any part whatever
in getting up the Congressional Convention. ii
then it is the voice of the people that makes o
man regular candidate, Mr.. Durkee is GER
tainly more regular than is Mr.. Gilmore.
Again, Mr. Eimore has no claim upon the de-
mocracy in virtue of services rendered the party
He has never been member of the party until
baptized by the convention which nominated him.
MIR. Durkee was once member of the demo-
cratic party, but Mr.. Elmore never was, and is
not now; and so far as the present principles now
promulgated by the party are concerned, Mr..
Durkee was always their advocate; but Mr.. Ell
more was never known to be the advocate of ma
ny of them, and is not now. If regularity is
worth talking about, certainly Mr.. Durkee is
the regular candidate of the people, if not of the
convention.
Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1850-1854, 1850-10-18

Mr.. ELLMoRE.--We DO not wish it under
stood that we have any feeling against Mr.. Ell
more, for we have always been on the best terms
with him. and really consider him clever, ANU
sing fellow; but Mr. E. is scarcely the man to
represent this district in Congress. 1t is true,
that as Union candidate, he may be called the
man OF all parties-for to all he has belonged in
very briefperiod. The Wings could once claim
him as their own; the Free Soil men once as
theirs, and the Hunkers t,oice as their man.
Whether they think to fac his politics or not, by
this nomination we do not know; we feel salts
fed. however, that they have .fred themselves
by it.
MIR. Durkee is superior to Mr.. Gilmore in
every qualification that can make mem
Der of Congress useful. He has more
good sense, more frmness, more capacity
more character, more popularity, and inf
nitely more influence from these combined
qualities, than Mr.. E. can ever posess.-
Besides, all know where Mr.. Durkee will
be found; while Mr.. E. is, as he himself
says, a very uncertain politician. Racine
