A Snecimen Rrick.

During the ballotings of the late Repub-
lcan Convention for a candidate for Judge
of the Supreme Court, Ito fill the vacancy,)
il was discovered that some person had Ia
ken upon himself to respond in favor of a
particular candidate for the delegations Of
all tie several counties, as they were called
lin their order. The delegations being occu-
pied in canvassing the merits of candi-
dates, did not for some time, observe the
trick by which the volunteer organ was do
ing up all tho voting; members supposing
lit was some person duly authorized. AT
length, the chairman of delegation who
was fully posted as to the views of his as
soeiates and wide awake to his duty finding
himself anticipated by rival spokesman
unknown to him, called the attention of the
convention to the interlpper, when it was
discovered that the latter had carried the
Joke SO far as to cast the vote of some u
counties! OF course the ballot was re ta-
ken. The rascal was found out to be a
regular dyed-in-the-wool locofoco, of the
Pierce and Douglas stripe, a resident Of
Huron county, in which he had held a high
office at the hands Of his party. He had no
seat in the convention, and did not claim to
have, but took this miserable mode of pro-
ducng what bis employers most anxiously
desiret-a Jlow up. When his rascality
was discovered be made straight wake
for the door, with about the speed and fig
ure a sheep-stealiDg dog would exhibit,
when discovered in the overt act. We re-
frain from giving the name of his Honor( =
out of pity for his family friends. How is
"Democracy" fallen, since it has passed into
the keeping of such miscreants! !-Saadus-
ky Register.
We can vouch for the correctness of the
above statement. Being seated Immediately
in front OF this interloper, We heard him an
swer the vote for county after county as
they were called. He resides in the south,
ern section of Huron county, and was for
merly one Of its associate Judges. Sheep,
stealing is respectable business in compar-
ison with such conduct.

Freedom of Discussion.

at the late Missouri pro-slayery conyen-
tion, the following was adopted without one
dissenting voice.
ResOlved, That the peace. quiet and vel
fare of this and every slavehoiding State, as
also a regard for the integrity of the Union,
requires the passage, by the respective
state legislatures, of effective laws suppress
ing within said states, the circulation of alb
clifton or free-soiI publications and the pro-
mitigation Of free-soil or abolition opinions
Says the Leader, this convention, it will
be borne in mind, fully endorsed the re-
peal of the Missouri Compromise, and indi-
rectly endorsed the conduct of the Pierce
Administration. As the matter now stands
the Democratic party occupies the same
position; and unless it topenly disowns Vice
President Atchison, it cannot hope to es,
cape the consequences.

In the Democrat of the 18th, the editor
tells an awful tale of the way the Germans
were treated in the Lucas County Repub-
icah Convention lately held at Maumee.-
He says their rights we're not acknowledged,
and that a resolution introduced by them
was voted down, whereupon the Germans
J left in body. This, like majority Of the
statements in the Democrat, is all taL de-
raj, and was written with the express de-
sire that the Germans should leave the Re-
publican cause, and vote with the Ohio
slave drivers. Such shallow tricks are ca
silly seen through. In reference to this
matter we have line from friend in Mau-
NEE, who was present during the eOnven-
ton. He says:
"There vas an amendment offered by a
German, in regard to not making the Cath
olic religion a test as to citizenship; but it
was so nearly like the resolution in regard
to citizenship, brought in by the committee,
that it did not carry. 1t was considered Of
so little moment, that no mention Of it was
made in the proceedings, or by the Press,
with the exception of the Republican, which
magniied the matter from mole-hill into
mountain; and perceive that Flaugher
has reiterated the same, Uith some additions,
in great gusto. AS TO the Germans leaving
the convention Gin a body" that is all
popycock. did not notice but two or three
Germans in the convention, including the
one who offered the amendment, and they
were from Toledo, They may have left ain
body" but if they did their leaving crea-
Ted no sensation. l have not doubt but
that they will support Chase, if not indeed
the whole Republican Ticket"
The resolution which the Convention did
pass is as follows:
ResolUed, That it is incompatible with
eternal right, and justice, the Declaration of
Independence, and the Constitution Of the
United States, to make distinctions between
citizens on account of birth, and that prin-
ciDles are the truest test Of patriotism and
citizenship.
We ask now, for what purpose was this
falsehood told? Cannot the people see that
the intention of the editor of the Democrat
Bos 70 dac.iva the Germans Thav will no
tice from the above, that the Germans OF
Lucas county will vote the Republican tick

The public have noticed for long time
that the respectful terms" talked of by the
editor of the Democrat, have consisted Who'll
ly in misstatements and personal abuse
and the editor has not been content with
slandering and villifying the Republican
party and the editor of the Journal, but he
has attacked private citizens, whose worth
and standing is fully equal if not superior
to bis own, in a most wanton manner when
there was not the least excuse for so doing.

Vespasian Ellis, in an ora;ion delivered
at Washington on the Fourth before 4
Know Nothing Association, made the fol-
lowing statement:
"The PoPe's Nuncio to Spain, before the
Cabinet of the President was know to the
public here, declared in Madrid MGt the
present Postmaster General, a Catholic,
agOuld be a member of the Cabinet of Gen
eral Piercei There is other and abun-
dant proof to confirm the opinion that this
appointment was secured to the Romish
hierarchy before the Catholic vots was cast
for tie present incumbent! Let these facts
be knovn TO the American people, ard the
American Reformation will sweep from
political power, in '56, the aidefs and abet-
tors of the Romish hierarchy, with their
followers and dependents, of all ranks and
conditions"
Ellis who makes the above assertion,
was editor of the Fire-Eaters' paper at
Washington. The Union utterly denies the
charges.

aThe Inqulsition Revivea. Z,

MR. BDToR:-I noticed in the Journal
Of last week, an article bearing The heading
above named, which read with great
deal Of interest. I must confess that after
having perused snd reflected upon it. a
feeling of Indignation and shame came over
me, as I saw to what humilialing condi-
ton the Democratic Centrtral Committee
of this county were trying to bring tho
voters and friends OfOur party. The strong
language used by the writer as he showed
the abject party servitude that our leaders
required, was indeed humiliating, but am
forced to acknowledge its truth. What,
must we indeed swear to support the nom
inees of the party, even though they shonId
be unfaithful and incompetent men? This
is not Democracy, and viii no: be tolerated
even in Sandusky county, where The Dem.
ocratic ticket has always been successful
Some few at least, aye. there are many vino
have already rebeled against this edict
and before the day ofthe primary elections
shall come around many more viii refuse
to submit to it. How has democracy chang
ed from what it was in the days of JefTer-
son. 1t has the name, but cannot believe
there are any of the principles left. If the
Central Committee shall persist in forcing
our party to such rules as are prescribed
in the regulations, the sooner We are de-
feated the better; for then the masses will
learn to take their business out of the hands
of few tricky oaice-seekers. and attend
to it themselves. This patent slave demoe-
,racy can not force such measures upon a
WOODVILLE DEMOCRAT.

Methodist Preachers IIOb5ed.
Iorrespondence Chcngo Democratic Press.

Platte Co, Mo, June so, 1855.
I hasten to inform you OF another mob in
Platte county. The Methodist Church
north had an appointment for quarterly
meeting near Forley. The presiding Elder,
preachers and congregation had assembled
and concluded the morning service and were
proceeding when a mob Of about so armed
men made their appearance. 1t being very
warm, the congregation were seated in the
shade in front of the house and the preach
ers were inside. When DR.. Walker led the
mob 10 the door, where the Rev. DR.. Morris
was preaching, and seized him, Mr. Morris
drew his revolver and cooked it, when some
one caught his arm and took it from him.
The mob then rushed on him, yelling chang
him shoot him!" Some in the congrega-
lion interceded for him, and after long
parley they consented to let him go under
a pledge 10 leave and not preach any more
ill they gave him permission. The rest Of
the preachers escaped during the disturb
ance, and the congregation broke up and
dispersed. The preachers were all armed
with revovers. They are aware of the
threats daily made against them. The mob
brought tar and feathers and hemp along
with them. The excitement is great
These humble and pious ministers Of reli-
gion will be driven out and utter lawless-
ness prevail. In haste. Traveller
This lawless and rufianly conduct is the
legitimate fruit of this opening the beautiful
territory 10 slavery. Freedom Of speech
is not tolerated. When the Missouri Com
promise was repealed, Democracy said ev-
cry where, that there was not the least
doubt but that territory would be free
How stands the matter now? Men can
scarcely speak of Freedom in Kansas, with
.out placing their lives in jeopardy.
