Outrage al Sault Sic, Marie.

We learn from passengers from the
Sault that an armed band of British sol
diers, commanded by Capt. Cooper and
Lieut.. Balfour, stationed opposite the
Sault Ste. Marie, on the Canada side,
crossed over to the American side, on the
night of the l4th inst, to arrest deserters.
This band entered boarding house of a
Mr.. -w with axes and clubs, cutting
down the doors and knocked down Mr..
F. The soldiers entered the room of Mrs.
F., and knocked her down and gagged
her. They also threatened the lives of
several of the boarders.
We also learn that Lieut.. Russell, OF
the U. S. Army, was present at the time
and witnessed the outrage, and, to all ap-
pearance, encouraged the British soldiers
to do what was done. He threatened the
citizens, if they interfered to prevent the
arrest of the deserters, or stop their law
less proceedings. If this is so, Lieut..
Russell should be cashiered, and we are
glad to know that the proceedings have
been reported to the United States gov
ernment.-Detroi Free Press.

A CARD.

The undersigned, as Presiding officer
of the Democratic county convention as
sembled at Ebensburg on the 25th day OF
June 1850, deems 1t but right and proper
TO make brief statement, relative to a
part of the proceedings of the convention
He has understood that the Secretaries of
the convention have stated that an adjourn
ment of the convention had been carried
before the appointment by that body
of congressional conferees. Such is not
the fact. A motion for adjournment was
made by one the of Secretaries (Mr. Ma
guire) and Immediately followed by one
from Mr.. Donoughe, TO proceed TO elect
congressional conferees. The question
upon adjourning was put, and only an
swered by few ayes, and few noes
The chair did not consider the question as
carried, and asked for division of the
house, when several delegates retired from
the room; and the convention remained in
session until they had discharged all the
duties imposed upon them by the usage
and practice of the party. The appoint
ment of congressional conferees, and that
of the county committee for the ensuing
year has always been made by the county
convention assembled in the month of June
to form a county ticket, and ever since our
connection with the present congressional
district, will this appear to have been done
and without any objection being made
from any quarter. The majority of the
convention remained in session in the per-
formance of thier duties, and have each
subscribed the proceedings feeling salts
fed that they will meet the appreciation of
their democratic fellow citizens. To the
party l am perfectly willing to submit the
question for decision. whether the conven-
ton exceeded their powers in appointing
conferees in the usual ,cay, or in permit
ting conferees who had been selected by
county meeting in an unusual naa'aner
and at an at,ausuGl time, to represent the
county in congressional conference.
