SUDDEN DEATH.-A little son of Mr..
Daniel Abraham, aged about ! years, died
this morning He was in usual health
last night, found in spasm in the night,
and died at o'clock this morning.
"MANY a SLIP" &c-Thcre was a
run away Sunday morning up Main st. Of
horse and buggy. A gentleman had de-
posted jug Of "Main Law" in the vehi-
Gle, and was on the point of dcpositing
himself on the seat, when the horse ran.
He came up street in fine time, the jug dis
charging at the crossing and rough places,
and finally jumping over board. A very
illegal smell was pretty much all that was
left to the owner of the jug.

The Washington Union of yesterday pub.
lishcs the proceedings of certain political
conventions, ami among them those of the
recent Democratic State Conv entions of Lou
isiana, held at Baton Rouge on the 18th in
slant. 1t accompanies them with the follow.
iny remark:
"The resolutions adopted at these meet
ings show ON unfaltering adherence to the re-
cognized principles and landmarks of the
democratic party. calm, cheerful and AN
u iding confidence in the future, and ut the
same time the occasion il appropriately en-
braced to pay fitting tribute to the wisdom,
patriotism and fidelity of President PIERCE
administration"
Our RAIDERS may be curious t. see of what
character are the resolutions which show an
unfaltering abb renee to the recosniz d Or e..
cipies an landmarks Of the democracy. Here
is samT lie Of those adopted at Baton Rouge !:
''Resolved, That we approve and endorse
the action Of our last Congr, So in the Neb,as.
r. Kansas acfs, aid the principles therein es.
tablished; and in conformity with these prin-
cplfs, the people of Kansas have the right,
N !, h.ro : ba,, g.
1t. to form republican state constitution,
with or without slavery, as they NAV deter.
mite, and be admitted into the Union ut on
an equ'l footing with the other states; and
that her rejection by Congress on accoun, of
slavery would be just cause of the disrup-
ton Of all the ties that bind the State of Lou.
isiana to the Union.
"Resolved, That wc sympahize with the
friends OF the slavery cause in Kansas in their
manly efforts to maintain their rights, and tho
rights and interests OF the southern people,
and that we rejoice at their recent victories
over the paid Adventures and Je>uitical
hordes of northern abolitionism; that the deep
interest felt and taken BY the people of Mis-
souri, in the settlement of Kansas and the de.
and proper, and that it is their right and du-
~
territory every legitimate and honorable SIM
pathy and support"
Put these resolutions together and they ap-
plaud the fraud which has been committed in
Kansas, and avow the intention to Persist in
it. II the Obi. Ct of this spurious election of
. pro slavery legislature for Kansas can be
attained through the passage of laws which
allow slavery to be smugg,ed into the terrific.
~, and through constitution permitting sla.
very, adopted by the same process Of mock
election, they insist that this constitution shall
receive the saction of Congress The reso-
lutions can have no other construction. The
enormties already perpetrated are spoken of
- manly efforts 20 sustain the rights Of the
southern people, and the resolutions pledge
those who have adopted 10 them to stand by
the perpetrators to the last.
Upon what strange times have we fallen,
when declarations like these are down rs
recognitions Of the ancient landmarks of the
d. mncra,ic party. To tyran,xs over peace.
full and unarmed men, to wrest the right of
suffrage from those who are justly entitled to
it, 10 cog, to cheat, to m Ike false returns If
ell ctions, are these the recognized tokens of
democracy.
1t is clear that no honest man at the North
can net with those who thus shamelessly
adopt fraud, and avow settled determin-
SO uphald it, and profit BY it. If we were 10
support Nominations made under the ayowal
of such principles, ne should feel that We
entered into partnership with rogues.
