Republican Primary Meeting.

As nearly as we can come at the census OF
the second Council District, from the bungling
manner in which the returns have been made,
we conclude that the population is about s, 400
as returned. This would entitle us to eight
cen delegates in the Territorial Convention,
under the call of the Central Committee.
If our figures be correct it will therefore be
the duty of the Republican primary meeting
which is to assemble at the Court House this
evening, to appoint eighteen Delegates to the
Territorial Convention of next Wednesday.
We hope to see eighteen of the very best and
coolest men of the district selected, men who.are
committed to no particular interest; bound to
no clique; governed by no dictation, or swayed
by no personal motives of ambition. Give us
q delegation that will cordially unite upon the
nominee of the, convention whoever, he may

Death Of Raglan.

The news from Europe informs our readers
Of the death of the Commander-in-Chief of the
British forces before Sebastopol. It is to be
supposed that the old man was fastened to his
grave by the bitter criticisms which his course
of policy in conducting the war had called
forth from the London Times and from other
home sources, not only connected with the press
but also with the popular tribune and the leg
islature.
Lord Raglan was distinguished Captain in
his day. He may. in his latter age, have want
ed the boldness and decision requisite to lead
an enterprise such as the exigencies of the &C.
casion requires of commander in the Crimea;
but he was nevertheless military man of great
forecast and safe judgment. The army of Eng
land, after all that has been said, may even
fare worse in Russia under new, young and
vigorous leader than it would have Jared un-
der Raglan.

Stick a Pin Therei

The Democrat of Friday, in abiding to the
efforts ofcertain men of its party to nominate
Dav. Olmsted. an ant-Nebra>ka man, takes
the following declaration:

the Democracy of Minnesota. when we expose
the tactics Of this clique, the leader of which
says in as many words, nominate me- and get
up a platform ofmy choice, although it does
violate fundamental Democratic principle or
will bolt
From such Democracy and such men, good
Lord deliver u.s."
So then. Mr.. Rice and his friends do consider
the repeal of the Missouri Compromise. and the
consequent extension of Slavery attendant
thereon. as being "a fundamental Democratic
principle." All right

MONDAY MORNING. JULY %, 1856


=
At the request of several of cur Subscribers,
we to-day copy the bold and manly speech Of
Capt. Thos. II. Ford of Ohio, in the Philadel-
phia Know Nothing Convention. 1t will be re-
collected that Ford was one of the leading
"bolters" from the Convention, and from the
Order; and is now member Of that branch OF
the party in Ohio which. in Convention at
Cleveland recently abolished the religious and
antidoreign test of the ritual. He has also re-
Gently received the nomination for Lieut.. Gov
ernor from the Ohio State Republican Conven-
ton.
There are passages in this speech of Capt.
Ford's that would have done honor to Patrick
Henry. In fact, the points of eloquence and
keen, biting sarcasm strongly remind US Of
Henry in his most brilliant efforts for the cause
OF Freedom. Ford has immortalzed himself
by this single effort, and every man who loves
his country should not fail to read it.

New YORK, July l6.


Judge Culver. of the Supreme Court in Brook
Ign. had entered an action for libel against
some OF the members of the Grand Jury. for
having recently pronounced him and his court
guilty OF gross negligence. The Maine Law is
at the bottom of the affair, the Judge being one
of the leading temperance men.
The brig Judge Blaney arrived here ycster-
day from Slerre Leon. with dates to the Sd. and
brings account Of the disastrous defeat of the
English expedition against the Chief of the
Malaga River. The British lost SO men in kill
ed and prisoners. Some of the latter were
afterwards put to death in the most barbarous
manner by the natives.
Among the killed was Quarter Master An
drews of Her Majesty's steamer Terrible. At
the last accounts the Chiefs, experimenting re-
taliatory measures, filled the river with stones.
to prevent the passing of vessels. A ship had
been sent to look after the British subjects in
that quarter.

Truth In q Nutshell.

Truth In a Nutshell.
The Albany Evening Journal in noticing tic
late assault upon Gov. Reeder by the rufian
String ellow, lays down great number of t.
controvertable truths and important points
in the following small space:
Slavery rules the Republic. Everything
must bend to it. Like those clothed with the
divine right" Of sovereignty, lit can do no
wrong" The violence of it's EN- ssarics are
winked at, while all who hold it in adherence.
are deemed iprima fdcie vagabonds and trait
ors.
If the picture in Kansas were reversed. who
believes that the Administration would. for an
hour remain inactive? If the polls had been
invaded by "AbOIit:onists" from Iowa instead
of by Shareholders from Missouri. is any one so
silly as to believe that no notice would have
been taken of the outrage? If Benton instead
of Atchson had led on band of ruffians to
exclude Slavery instead of Freedom from Kan
sas. does any one doubt that the military arm
Of the Government would have been long since
stretched out to punish the invaders?
But the Administration winks at ruG1an SIN
and lawiess violence, when that rufiansm and
violence is called into action to extend tho Dor.
ders OF Slavery! Freemen of Kansas have been
driven from the Polls by non-residents-the
Ballot Boxes have been seized and desecrated
Oy nlred scOundrels from MiSSOur-thc legal
sentiment of the Territory has been trampled
upon-'Popular Sovereignty" has been vic.
lently "ignored"---a Free Press has been de-
stroyed and it's conductors driven from their
homes--peaceful Citizens have been torn from
their dwellings. tarred and feathered. and sold
by negro at Observation-Disclosures of the GOSPEL
have been driven from their fields of labor
American Citizens have been. at the point of
the Bowie-knfe. despoilcd of their property
and the Executive of the Territory has been
row-beaten, bullied and stricken down by the
chief ruffian of the Slave Power-and vet the
Administration remains as passive and indiffer-
ent as il these outrages did n,t involve the
rights of the Citizen and the honor of the Gov
erDment. ss.s~ 7@rca ~r
