THE Sth OF JANUARY.

The DemGc,atic Central Committee have
'ssued a call in :o-day's paper for q meeting Of
the Democracy OF this county, on Saturday,
the 5th day Of J January, 1856, fol the purpose
Of appointing two delegates 10 The Sth ofJan-
uary Convention. The Stale Convention
which is 10 assemble in Columbus this year,
will be more than usually important, from the
fact that upon that Lody will devolye the duty
of appointing delegates 10 The National Con-
v~ention, which is TO assemble in Cincinnati IN
Ma, next, 10 nominate candidates for the Pres
ilency and Vice Presidency. We hope, there
fore, that our remocratic friends throughout
the county will appreciate the necessity OF
turning cut 10 The meeting on the 9th Of Jan
u8ry, and selects UGH men 10 represent them
as will faithfully carry out their wishes when
assembled in Convention. Every school dis
trict, Town and township in the county should
be represented. An important duty, remarks
the Hamilton Telegraph, rests upon the de-
mocracy OF The UHion ; for with them alone
rests the safety and happiness of our glorious
country. This day, so memorable in the an
nails of history, as concentrating one of the
most brilliant Military exploits by that Hero
and Statesman, Andrew Jackson, is again
recommended by he Democratic State Gen.
trail Committee, as a fit time to meet and de-
liberale in unison, brother with brother in
broad day Highland plHce upon guard good
and faithful sen:ine to guard the interes! Of
the country, who shall permit none 10 trepasS
upon the rights Of The constitution, or allow
none 10 pass within the walls OF Congress,
who has not the countersign "0cR CoNSrITU-
rroN-liberty now, and liberty forever"

Kansas Farce Epded-The Abolition Nullif-
ers Caved in.

The despatch which appeared in our paper
yesterday morning, says the Ohio Statesman,
appears 10 BIZ authentic, yet is not as full and
definite as is desirable, to form a correct con-
~clusion as 10 the present condition Of affairs.
But il seems certain thai the nulliGers have
acknowledged The authority Of Gov. SHAM
NON. and surrendered the offenders whom they
had rescued from the territorial officers, and
sheltered in the Abolition town of Lawrence /!
The despatch says they have refused 10 surren-
der Sharp's Rifles, but promised TO behave
themselves as peaceable citizens. This was
all that was necessary-the Governor would
hardly have persisted in his demands for the
su! render of the arms Of the offenders, even
if they had not promised 10 use them only
peaceably and lawfully, but in e~xorting a re-
cognItion OF his authority, and q pledge Of
obedience 10 the territorial laws, he accom-
plished all that he desired.
We have never believed there was half the
trouble or excitement in Kansas, indicated by
the letters Of hired Abolitionists who are
there to make trouble, and manufacture polit.
ical capital, and have felt half inclined 10 GEN.
sure Gov, SHANNON for precipitancy in calling
for United State troops! But we wait a full
expose OF the whole matter. We think, how
ever, that the AbolitionistS have overreached
themselves and damaged their cause--yet, we
have no idea that slavery will be established
there.
With what little information we have on
the subject, We feel satisfied the free soil men
have a large majority in the Territory--and
daily increasing. II is said that the laws OIL
the Territorial Legislature are very tyranical,
and cannot be endured. But would it not be
better 10 endure evil for q season-and sub
init 10 the laws, uutil another election, ant
then, taking proper precauiion against illega
voters, with the majority claimed, elect {
Legislature that would pass wholesome laws
and provide q peaceful and legal mode fol
forming State Constitution. Such q course
would not subserve the interests of Union
dissolving demagogues, and aboli;ionists-bu
it would promote the peace and harmony o
the people, the good Of the country, ant
strengthen The cause OF freedom in the Teri
tory. Such seems now, 10 be the best cou!s'
but q full and correct statement OF all th'
facts, which will COM before Congress, upol
the contest for Delegate, may put a difIeren
face upon The matter. Let US wait, patient
Iy, fer the truth, and then act understanding
] and promptly.

1t will be recollected by the newspaper
readers, that six months ago, woman by the
name of Margaret Robinson, who at that time
had a husband living in Port jmouth, n. Ii q,
by some infatuation became tinctured with
Brigham Young's spiritual wife theory, and
wished to sever her matrimonial ties which had
linked two loving hearts together for long
series Of years She became acquainted with
a very amiable young man by name Of johnson,
a resident of Greenland, which acquaintance
ripened into a hymenial engagement, and the
twain were duly made one flesh. While in
the enjoyment of the honeymoon, at Greenland,
and just previous to their leaving in the cars,
an alteration arose at the depot between the
two husbands, in relation to the right Of pos
session Of the lady in question, which reSultC d
in law suit and we believe it is still pending
The happy couple arrived in this city some ten
our hotels The lady seemed very much
pleased with the place, and proposed settling
in or near the city, provided she could find a
suitable residence.
After some considerable research, she nego-
tiated for the DR.. Dearborn estate, in Seabrook,
for which she was to pay the sum Of S1700.
This purchase being proposed, she set herself
about furnishing the house; calling on NJ. B.
g. Parker, she selected her furniture, and il
was speedily delivered. Mr. L. S. Sweetser
lad orders for large bill of carpeting; a $500
piano was also bargained for. Mr.. John Sum-
ner was the favored one who was to furnish
her stoves and hollow ware, and the articles
were put up, and delivered with promptaess
and dispatch. The crockery ware and plates
for her chateau were to be furnished by Mr..
Joseph Moulton, whose clerks were employed
during the day IN carefully packing the goods,
