"Tbe Democrats in Mortified had every

Yes-they voted that the town should pay
back all the money collected as fines for Vi
olaiions Of the liquor law So you see that
the Democrats Of Mortified are little big

or Of the State Of Vermont; that is, If they
are not greatly mistaken. 1t was Mr.. Orr OF
South Carolina, late Democratic candidate
for Speaker Of Congress, who said that the
Democracy Of the North are the true friends
Of Slavery. We submit that the Mortified
Democracy has another claim TO dishonora-

CONGRESS-.

Want Of room compes Us TO omit, this
week, regular account Suffice it to say
that Reedcr's case is under discussion in the
House. The Republicans demand testimo-
ny from Kansas, while the Slavocrats take
cover under the Bogusj Senatorial authori-
ties. and claim that Congress cannot go be-
hind these even to get the truth! Of course
their great argument is that Reeder has fore
closed his case, because he recognized
the Bogus Legislature.
1t is only fair towards Governor Reeder, TO
give his statement respecting the granting Of
certificates to these members. He says;
"On the day fixed for passing upon the
returns OF these elections. TO wit the 9th
day Of April complaints were made to the
Governor from some Of the districts setting
forth these facts and there appeared to be
defects in some Of the returns. Seven Of
the said districts were set aside, and in the
remaining cases the returns being IN form,
and no complaint being made Of Illegal
votes, as provided IN the Proclamation, cert.
ficates Of election were granted according to
them. The facts in regard to the uncontcs-
ted districts have come to the knowledge Of
the undersigned since that time, aud he has
also learned that the reason why the same
were not contested was, that the inhabitants
were prevented by intimidation and fear of
injury to life or property from doing so, con-
slderlng It unsafe to assume the position OF
contestants. One gentleman, who was nc
tive in getting up a contest Ia the 10th Dis
trict, and who made affidavit to the com.
plant, was, after much denunclation forci-
bly, seized By party of men, carried into
the State OF Missouri, and there lynched
with gross indgnty and brutal violence.
An election having been ordered for the
22d of May, less, to I'll the vacancies
created by setting aside certain of the dis
trcts, persons were then elected, and, in the
18th District, as your memorlalist has since
learned, the election was again carried toI
the same candidates, and by the same means
as It had been on the Both Of March, but nc
complaint was then made. In the other dis.
tricts the actual inhabitants were unmoest
ed, and elected other Representatives, who
as well as those of the Sixteenth District
received their certificates from the EXecu-
tive. All the members thus elected on The
22d Of May, however, excepting those cleo
ted from the Sixteenth District elected by
body Of strangers were rejected, and then
places filled BY those whose election haC
been set aside, and who had not the certli.
cate Of the Governor, ss required by the or
ganic act, although the Legislature had moi
the power usually conferred upon Legislative
bodies, to Judge OF the qualifications Of III
own members"
To snbstsniiate these statements, Gov
Reeder has applied to the Secretary of til,
Territory for the proper documents, and the!
have been refused This Secretary the crea
ture Of the Administraton--ha also neg

IL In selecting q candidate for the Vice

committed the great mistake Of nominating
one Of Mr. Flllnorc's most absurd and thick
headed enemies. Mr.. Doneson. not many
years ago wrote column after column IN the
Washington Onion, in which he tried 10
prove Mr. Fillmore TO bc very bad Presi-
dent which he most certainly was not,) and
only succeeded IN proving mmselfn bad VIII
ter. These outpourugs of Donelson the

der the IMPRESSION that they may damage
Mr.. Fillmore whereas the only effect OF
tn IA will be To revive the popular recollection
ofthe exceedingly stupid way m which the
Washington Union was formerly conducted.

tucked up with Doueson-what pen can de-

pie are in a great deal of trouble they usual
