The Democtic National Conven-
ton.


AS some of our eo~temporaries seem to
be in doubt as to the manner in which
the next Democratic National Conven-
tion is Be constituted, we publish the
following resolutions of the last Demo
cratic National Convention, held at
Baltimore, for general Information.
Res0lvedi That the next Democratic
National Convention be>held in Cincin-
natl, in the State of Ohio.
RESOLVED, That in constituting fu-
ture National Conventions of the Demo-
cratic party, in order so secure the re-
spective rights of the States to their re-
lative representation in such conventions,
each State shall be entitled to twice the
number of delegates they have in the
ELECTORAL college. and no more and
that the Democratic National Commit
tee, in making arrangements for the
mex National Convention, provide such
number of seats therein for each Site,
and secure the same to the delegates cleo
ted.
ResolUed, That the time of holding
the next Convention be designated by
the Democratic National Committee +;
and that, in their call, the above reso-
luton be ms erted as the rule for choos-
ing delegates.

Fever in the South.

From the New Orleans Bulletin of
the 9th inst, we extract the following
yellow fever accounts:
The Natchez Courier of the 9th says:
1.-THE epidemic has been more fatal dur
ing the past than any previous week
seven from yellow fever-spread sorrow
and desolation widely in our community.
Still we hope the very cold weather we
have had for the last few days will and
we think has lessened the number of new
cases. We regret to learn that the dis
ease has attacked several of the Sisters
of Charity, and a number of the orphans
in their benevolent charge"
The Plaquemine Sentinel of the 9th
says:
"The yellow fever has rapidly in
creased in the number of cases since
last week, but appears to be of q milder
type. We have had in our family six
cases within the last ten days, but half
are we'll and the balance improving fast.
For a few days past the fever seems
spreading all over town, attacking the
old aud the young, white and black, all
alike; and we fear that the worst is not
yet. However. it is evident that it is
not so fatal as at first.
At Vicksburg the deaths ending on
the I'd inst. were twenty-five, all of yell
low fever. The population is said to
be less than at any former period for
many years.
The Mercury jackson, Miss of the
4th inst. says:
we announced in an extra slip on
Saturday that the fever was epidemic in
jackson and that twenty-five or thirty
cases were under treatment. Since then
the fever has continued to spread, and is
now in all parts of town. We have heard
the humber Of cases, white and black,
estimated at seventy-fve to one hundred;
but we are glad to say that the cases
are mostly mild, and yield to medical
and careful nursing. Since
Saturday there have been five deaths.
Among 1.-THE physicians, Drs Craft
and Boyd, and DIR. Brown, ~(homeopath-
ist,) are sick; all, we are glad to hear,
doing we'll. Rev. Mr.. Corbyn is con-
valescent. Rev. Messrs. Godfrey and
Donnistoun are now sick.

New Yonk. Oct. 10.

A fire occurred early this forenoon,
in a dwelling house on State street, oc-
cupied by several Irish families.
Two women and three children were
burned to death one woman leaped
from a window in the third story, and it
is feared, is fatally injured !; and three
were rescued and carried to the hospital
in a dying condition.
At No. 555 Broadway, last night,
there was a wholesale arrest of the dis
ciples of the new doctrine of Free Love.
In consequence of a rumor in the street
that the Police were watching the prem
Uses, a large crowd gathered in front,
and when the prisoners were brought out
they we're greeted with boots and yells,
and a large gang of rowdies followed
them to the station house.
Four men were committed to the cells,
viz :-Albert Brisbane, disorderly con

Hold them to it.

Now that the Fusionists have carried
the election in this State, and received
a,large majority in both branches of the
Legislature, it is proper that the people
should expect that g retrenchment aud
reform " promised-that taxes should
be greatly diminished-that Slavery
shall never trouble the Territory of
Kansas-in fact that all the crimes and
misdemeanors which have been commit
ted for the past year, will be corrected
by the Fusion party of Ohio. The Free
Love system, under the Fusion admin
istration, viii be forever discountenan-
ced and prevented from spreading BY
thisEirtuous fusion party.
The Republican party of Ohio, have
promised much-more in fact, than they
can fulfill. In their anxiety for place
and poloey they stood ready at every
point and on every occasion TO pledge
themselves to any thing that would
give them success. They have got it,
and now must come the "loilter Of their
discomfort" That party'which succeeds
only by making ~extravagant promises,
are but poor tacticians. The great
reforms promised in the past campaign
can never be fulfilled. They were made
only to defeat the Democratic party, and
if we are not egregiously mistaken be-
fore the coming Fusion Copgr ess and
Legislature ~adjourns, they will have
defeated themselves. The Democratic
party will have but little to do to assist
them in doing it. They have plenty of
rope and they will hang themselves, else
We are no Prophet.

For the Ashland Union.
FROM ILLINOI
On AN ILLINOIS PRAIRIE, !
October 10, 1858. &

FR1END SHERIDAN: In accordance
with my promise I give you a faint de-
scription of the country ct cetcra which
l pass through.
Words canno do justice to the beau
ty of the prairie we have passed over to-
day, and of that which surrounds US now
it is a sort of ocean of land, a few trees
only being visible in some points of the
horizon, as palms are seen in the dis
lance or, the desc rt plains of Egypt
To see the boundless prairies rolling
away in yerdure and loveliness, spotted
here and there with a neat farmhouse
and orchard, was indeed a grand sight.
1t made me wish that many of the peo-
pie of Ashland County were here.
These prairics are very fertile and
productive, and produce corn, wheat, and
all other grains, only as prairie land
can, Forty bushels of wheat is consid-
cred an average production for one acre
of ground. Other grains produce equal
ly as we'll. 1t may be said of this coun-
try that there is a scarcity of timber ;
this is true, and an inconvenience that
will be remedied only by rail roads
happily they are easily built. Howev.
er, for the purpose of fuel, there is plen
ty of coal. The coal fields of this coun-
try are generally found on the surface,
a circumstance which will give the 81 eat
est facilities for mining when coal comes
into more general use.
These prairies are all entered and
now demand a price ranging from $40
to $50 per acre. Isuppose that this is
the reason why the thousands of moy-
ers are passing on through to Iowa.
Here we find smooth and good roads,
and the bridges quite good.
Yesterday evening we unfortunately
lost the road and consequently, after
searching for a long time to find the
right road again, was obliged to take.
up board at the most convenient house
This happened to be at Mr.. LEWIS cab
in, at the top of a hill, a short distance
from the main road. Happily there
was no children to bother us-tbe fami-
ly consisting of Mr.. LEWIS and bis ami
able wife. Our arrival was a godsend
to these worthy people; they were two
of the greatest takers 1 ever heard, and
now a fine opportunity offered of deliver-
ing everything they had to say. The
only great difficulty they labored under
was that they both wanted to talk at the
same time. When Mr.. LEWIS had fair
ly entered upon n of his yarns, his
wife would in upon him with "Well,
but JOHN, I've heer'n that so often now;'
upon which he would say, "Just give
me a chance to git through, and 1 swar
you shall have a chance too" Our host
told US all about his former life, and
kept up his stories at all times until we
gladly got started next morning.
We are now at DIR. H-'s, a good
place; and though the Doctor has moved
here to get clear of practicing, yet he
is gone all of the time, almost. I was
agreeably surprised to find, upon enter
ing the house, a Piano; and after sup
per, was pleased to hear Mrs. H
/" discourse sweet music"
