The bill was read

Territory of Kansas The bill was read
the first time.
The second day was spent in appoint
ing committees, and arranging other pre-
liminaries.
July 18.-Its proceedings were princi-
pally of local nature, and without gen.
eral interest. Mr.. Marshall's bill on the
qualifications of voters, was read thesec-
ond time, and referred to the Committee
on elections. Mr.. Anderson introduced
bill providing that no person shall be
admitted to take seat in the Legislature
without taking an oath to support the
Fugitive Slave Law, and that all persons
convicted of propagating, or in any way
circulating arguments, sentiments or opin-
ions unfavorable to slavery, shall be ineli-
gible to any Office of honor, trust or profit
in the Territory. The bill was read the
first time.
Mr.. Wilkison gave notice that he should
introduce a bill for the permanent loca-
tion of the Capital at Kansas. The place
is the Sacs agency, So miles from Shawnee
Mission.
The evening session was prefaced by
a rough and tumble fight between Mr..
Millars, editor of the Westfeld News, and
Mr.. Brady, public printer of the Terrific
! ry, both pro-slavery men, but the fight is
supposed to have originated in differ
ence of intensity of hate for the Aboli-
tionists.
Mr.. Woodson, Secretary of the Terri
tory, is reported to have said that he
would assume the reins of government in
case Gov Reeder refused to recognize the
Legislature.
A writer from Kansas states that there
exists there three parties-the Free State,
the Pro-slavery and the Abolition, which
are daily becoming more distinct. Polit.
ical excitement RACES to such an extent
: that it enters into every department ol
business. Many citizens declare they vii
neither recognize nor obey the acts of the
: Legislature.
The Legislature consists of q House Of
Representatives of 26 members, and Q
Council of 13. Stringfellow is Speaker
of the House.

For the Spirit of Democracy.
To whom does s.. p. Chase belongP


Mr.. EDITOR = Having been consulted
in my professional capacity, as to the own
ership of Mr.. CHASE, took the case
under advisement. found many difficult
ties in arriving at an opinion. tits claim
ed by SALMON P. CHASE, and other great
lawyers, that man is not property, and of
course not the subject of bargain and sale.
My client claims that he purchased said
CHASE for valuable consideration, and
paid eight times more than he is worth;
that the contract was reduced to writing,
and the whole consideration paid. By
the terms of said contract, said CHASE
was to be good Democrat, and have a
seat in the United States Senate. Since
that purchase the aforesaid CHASE has
sold himself to the Know Nothings
Whilst in my Office the other day, con-
sulting with my client-the Democracy
as to whether should replevy the said
CHASE as personally, or whether should
bring civil action in the nature of tres
pass, respectable old man stepped in
and claimed that the said CHASE belonged
to "Old Line Whiggery," and said he
intended to be made party defendant,
and would set up in his answer the prior
title of the Wings to said SALMON; that
they were not a party to the sale, and
were not concluded by the terms thereof
He offered to take 81 cents for the title
1 offered cents, which 1 think will be
accepted; and 1 understand the Know
Nothings will enter disclaimer, to sayt
costs. Coke. :

A Know Nothing on Sam.

Within a few months the Louisville
Courier has suffered sorely from proscrip-
tion by the Sag NIGHTS, because of its ultra
Know Nothingism; and now, on account
of freak of independence it is being pro-
scribed by the Know Nothings. The edi-
tor says that for months he resisted all
solicitation to join the Know Nothing or
der, but at last yielded to the entreaties
of his friends against the convictions of his
better judgement. He now states that his
experience is that:
"No man that has any self-respect or
independence can belong to it twelve
months without sacrificing both. It con-
tains features which, sooner or later, must
cause every one who has a particle of
manliness in his compositions to revolt at
the organization and leave it with disgust.
1t is an organization which may suit un-
srupulous politicians to use for their
own selfish purposes, but it will drive from
it all good men, and will infallibly fall
| from its own weakness J"
The above appeared in the Courier some
days ago. In late number of his paper
the editor said he had expected to be Bit
terly denounced and prescribed, but did
not anticipate that matters would be car
ried to such an extent as has been propo-
sed. He says:
1--WE have been threatened that the en-
tire and concentrated power and influence
of the order would be used to crush us,
unles we yielded our rights and duties of
good citizens, and submitted to the die
tation of set of men whose only motives
are to secure power and place. Our OPP
plication to withdraw from the order was
denied, because, as member remarked,
1--WE have got the Courier man just where
we want him. We win not permit him to
withdraw, but will keep his mouth shut
until after the election. and then we will
expel and disgrace him!"
/ The Courier expresses q determination
to eight it out" 1t says: The order has
began the war on us. We accept the
challenge, and pledge ourselves that before
we are done with an exposition of its de-
formities, Know Nothingism, as now con-
stituted, will be a stencil in the nostrils of
all decent people.-&. GasrsuiNs Gozstts.

Fusiondom in a State Of Rebellion.


The following are a portion of the articles
from various exchanges, for which we had not
room last week, together with some additional
ones, showing the beauties and harmony of
Fusion.
The following Preamble and Resolutions were
adopted at large Know Nothing meeting in
Hamilton county:
"Whereas, In consequence of the ultra
Abolition character of the chief actors
and prime movers of the recent Columbus
Conventions; and whereas, they have placed
in nomination rampant Abolitionists upon
their ticket; and whereas, in that Conven-
tion the two great questions now agitating
the American people were pushed aside,
viz: .Americanism and temperance; there
fore,
l. Resolred, That We will not support
any one for Office who is not true Amer
ican.
2. Resolved, That we will not support
any disunionist for any Office of profit Of
trust.
8. Resolced, That we consider all Alb
olitionists as disunionists, and consequent
ly anti-American, and unworthy Of oul
support.
4. Resolued, That, in view of the whole
premises, we repudiate oil action taken b.
that Convention, and do not recognize
any one on the ticket as they now stand
as being the candidates of the American
party.
5. Resolced, That we are in favor of /
Convention, at an early day, composed o
the true blues, for the purpose of nomina
ting ticket of the right stripe
s. Resozved, That we viii use all hon
orable means to give large majority il
old Anderson against S. p. Chase, at tn
October election.
I. Resolrsd, That the proceedings Q
this meeting be published in the Time
and Enquirer"

Our Ticket.

As we are about rea ly to put this weeks pa
per to press, it is impossible for us to give tho
Democratic county ticket, just nominated, more
than passing notice.
For Representative, ALFRD OeLE, Esq, of
Noble county, and DIR. HENRY T. GRrEn, ofSuns-
bury township, are the Nominees. They are
both good men and well worthy the confidence
ofthe Democratic party. That they are reliable
Democrats we are perfectly satisfied, and no
democrat need have any fears in giving them
his hearty support.
The following candidates were nominated
without opposition:
For Clerk of the Court of Common Pleas
JAMES MITCHELL; for Sheriff. WILLIAM READ; for
Coroner, SAMUEL w. NoLL; for Treasurer, FnsD-
ERIcK KUHLEn; for Recorder, DANIEL o'CoSNoR
all of whom, with the exception of Mr.. NolL
have filed the offices, for which they have beer
respectively nominated, one term each, and
have given general satisfaction in the discharge
oftheir duties. Mr.. NoLL is citizen of Ohio
township, and is well qualified to discharge the
duties Of the Office of Coroner. Being citizen

such as to be most convenient to those places
where the services of a Coroner are generally
demanded.
For County Commissioner, WILLIAM MYERs
of Green township, is the nominee, over his two
worthy competitors. OF the fitness of Mr.. My.
ERs to discharge the duties of the Office, no one
who is acquainted with him, will for momen,
doubt.
For Prosecuting Attorney, WILLIAM P. RICH
ARDsoS was nominated by small majority ove
his competitor. Never, perhaps, were the Dem
ocracy moro at a loss to choose between oppos
ing candidates. than between Messrs. WAY ant
RicnARDsoS; both of whom have the confidence
and are well deserving of the support of th
people. The choice has fallen upon Mr.. Rich
ARDsoS, and we are satisfied he will well an,
faithfully discharge the duties of the office; 70
We do not fer a moment doubt the certainty o
his election.
For Infrmary Directors JOIN KERR, for thre
years, RICHARD CLEea, for two years. and ELIJA
MCMAHON, for one year, are the nominees
Most excellent selections, and every way wor
thy of the confidence of the party.
Our ticket is now before the people, with tn
exception of Senator. The nominees are a
good men and true, and it now only remain
for the Democracy to be up and doing and tri
umphantly elect them.

sensible article upon the means of Education,
and we are always glad to hear from him; but
would suggest that his articles be little more
brief, say column in length. This would in
sure more general reading, and at the same
time not interfere with our variety.

t Thew Washington Union has the fol-
lowing in regard to registered letters:
'Several weeks ago we stated that post
masters should make no record or remarks
upon registered letters by which the fact
of their containing money or other valna-
bles may be suspected or made known,
some postmasters have written the word
Registered, on the backs of letters. Our
attention has been again called to the fact
in consequence of some postmasters still
continuing to so endorse letters mailed at
their Offices, and we have been requested
to say that this is contrary to the post
Office instructions thus to distinguish o
registered letter. We were informed that
in some Offices stamp had been used.

WILLIAM P. RICHARDSON.
The following named persons were de-
clared nominees-for Infrmary Directors.
JOHN KERR, for three years,
RICHARD CLEGG, for two years,
ELIJAH MCMAHON, for one year.
The following resolutions were report
ed and unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS the opposition to the Demo-
cratic party, unwilling to meet us fairly
on the issues before the people, are assid-
uously cndeavoring to drive us into a
false position;
Therefore, We proclaim in the following
resolutions the sentiments of the Demo-
cratic party of this County, upon the prin-
cipal subjects now sitatod.
Resolced, That in the estimation of the
democracy of Monroe County, the per-
petuity of the Union rises in Importance
above all other considerations; and to
maintain that Union, we will forever op-
pose every measure that shall in any man.
ner abridge or interfere with the rights ol
the States.
Resolued, That we regard slavery as on
evil, opposed to the best interests of the
country, and VIC look hopefully to the Pc
riod when it shall be eradicated; and there
fore we are determined to cast our suf.
frages for men who will use all that infu-
ence which high devotion to the consti.
tuition will warrant, to stop its further
progress.
Resolced, That an attempt to deprive
our adopted citizens of any privilege o.
citizenship, or to extend the period o.
naturalization, is derogatory to our char
acter as nation, and at war with oul
best interests.
| Resolced, That whether one denomina-
tion or another maintains true or erroneous
religious principles, should never be made
political question:; but the body which
sixty-eight years ago was imbued with the
Jeffersonian sentiment of fequal and ex.
act justice to all men, of whater state OF
persuasion, religious or political, declared
the true American doctrine: "No person
demeaning himself in peaceable and or
derly manner, shall ever be molested or
account of his mode of worship or reli
gious sentiments" and "no religious tes
} shall ever be required as a qualification tc
: any Office or public trust" And therefore
Resolved, That the democracy as par
ty neither affirm or deny the doctrine o
: any branch of the Christian church, bu
! believe the truth of mems religious opin
ions is question between themselves ant
their Maker, with which political parties
should not interfere; and that we depre
cate any coercion in religious opinions b.
an attempt to make religious STANDARD
for political promotion.
; Resolved, That we regard with prid
the State ticket formed at the last eight
: of January Convention, and the Count.
ticket formed this day, and will cheerfull
: lgive to each our undivided support.
On motion, Resotued, That Marshal

the way of listening to the howl of the
steam whistle, are unacquainted with the
mechanical means by which the effects
are produced The whistle is formed Of
two cups, placed one above the other,
and opening towards one another. The
lower cup is nearly filed by ball or

edge. of cup. The upper cup is hollows
and its lower edge is about one inch or
Ii inches from the lower cup. it escapes
through an annular opening and impinges
against the edge of the inverted cup.
This produces the sound. The heaviest
whistles for locomotives are six inches in

Nothings, has issued an address to the order,
hoping in some degree to restore harmony. He
endeayors to convince himself and others, that
he was justifabc in the course he pursued in
the nomination, by stating that the K. Nothings
have seven out of the eight candidates. He
says "If l am rightly advised, all but Mr..
CHASE are not only members of the American
*. NJ party, but especially acceptable to it,
In reply to the argument that the K. Nothings,
by voting for CHASE, are committed to his
(CHAsE's) ultra views, he says: "How much
stronger then by the same rule, are his friends
committed to Americanism.'
In our own county there are men, and not a
few, belonging to the Know Nothing order, who
repudiate the Fusion ticket. 1t will be the
worst scratched state ticket that ever was voted
in this county, in proportion to the number of
persons voting it. or portion of it.
Mr.. EDITOR 1t is well known that /

Democratic conventions. And as well
known that the ruling powers have oppos-
ed me, when I was nominated, and defeat.
ed me. 1 submitted my claims to a con-
vention, this time, believing it to be the
custom of the Democratic party to give
two terms to those who had been fairly
