The BrOker an UnwelCOme visitor:

A few days ago Broker, probably
from the Banking House of Kinney, Es-
py j. Co, went to lronton with about
90 600 of bills Of the Ironton Bank
While the paying Teller was counting
cut the "hard stuff" the people began,
says the Register, "to gather in, after a
little filling the room, all anxious to see
what was going on--the crowd became
dense, crowding the Broker" pretty
close. every body in the best humor. -
Allat once a "panic' seized the crowd
and !. moved out Of the Bank, taking all
before its resistless current Broker and
oil. At the time he was crowded out Of
the Bank, he had received about $500 in
specie. sOn that evening he went to Ash
land and returned on the next afternoon
supposing. that the excitement had cool
ed down and he could get his ''spondu-
licks." The word of the people. however
was that he could not enter the Bank fo'
Ahat purpose.

MR.. RANDoLPH's SPEECH ON sLAvHY.

Correspondence ofthc Missouri Democrat,
LEcoMPToN, October 80.
While the report Of The Conmittee on
Slavery, (Which | sent yop eie other day.
was under consideration, the following
speech was made'by John Randolph, Of
Atchson. ThisJohn Randolph is moi
CT Roanoke, bntcame TO Kansas from
South Caroline.
NJ. PREsIDENT:-W hat does the gen.
tI3man meanjy talking about traffic in hu-
manllesh! Doeshe Henderson, think that
niggers are human, that they are flesh
and blood like ourselvesl Why, if John
Randolph believed III at niggers were hu.
man, no matter in however Slight degaee,
this Convention would moi find John Ran
dolph on the floor of that hall advocating
slavery. Not if he thought that niggers
were human flesh and blood, possessed
ofhuman feeling, affections and thoughts
having an immortal soul, John Randolph
would be an abolilionists. Whot! buy
and sell our own flesh and blood! Trade
in human souls? No! no! gentlemen; he
believed in no such sickly stuff as that;
and tor gentleman affecting to hold that
slavery was abstrac,ly right, and put
themselves forward as advocates of South
ern rights, to talk about the "traAic in hu-
man flesh and blood" was simply balder'
dash. He didn't believe niggers to be
human and more than horse or dog.
If he did he should advocate their right
to freedom.
A niger, he held, was an animal-a
cross between baboon and man, and
he could prove his doctrine by chapter
and verse, and by the niggers themSel-
yes. Did they look like a white mani
Was not their hair woolly, lips thick,
nose fiat, skull thick--and couldn't any
anatomst tell the bones of a niger from
those of any human being? He held thai
niggers were animals, but a little more
intelligent than dog, and but one re-
move from a baboon, and he hoped gen
temen would not talk such nonsense as
"the traffic in human flesh and blood
disgracing our fair soil" again. He
should vote against the amendment be-
cause he did not want niger traders t.
have the opportunity to bring here all the
vicious and diseased niggers with which
| the South was oVerrun.

A Radical Constitution.

At the las! advices from Oregon con-
stitutiou for the new State had been nearly
consumuated by the convention charged
with that work. II contains some novel
and some radical provisions, 1t does
away with grand juries as unnecessary,
the preliminary examination before mag
istlate previous TO commttal being deem
led sufficient. 1t provides that there shall
be no Lieutenant Governor; that the Sec
retary of State shall exercise the functions
of Governor pro tenn, in case OF the death
of that functionary; and that the Govern
or shall also be Treasurer of the State.
The number of members Of the State Sen
ate is limited to fifteen, and that of the
Assembly to thirty, with biennial sess-
ions. The ballot is abolished at elections,
and rira uOce voting substituted. Judges
are declared ineligible for any office not
judicial, during the period for which they
are elected, and for one year after; muni-
cipalities are absolutely prohibited from
counteraclng debts; and bank charters of
every description are forbidden. With
regard to the question Of slavery, it is be-
lieved that two clauses-one legaized and
the other prohibiting savery-will be ap-
pended to the draft Of the constitution, to
be adopted or rejected by subsequent
vote of the people.-New York Journal
Of Commerce.

THE NEXT CoNGREss The elections
tor members ofthe National House ol
Representatives are now over, AMI the
members Of the House may be politically
classified: Democrats 1873; Republicans
92; Know Nothings IA. The House
consists Of 234 members-1l8 constiIu-
ting a majority. The Democrats have
a majority Of 90 over both other parties
which will be increased to 25 by the re-
ception of three new members from the
new State ofMinncsota. Tne Democratic
party, however, has no we'll defined poll

tain that the Republicans have MAORI
ty in both branches Of the Legislature
The Assembly consists of ninety seven

Ancient and Modern Democracy.

JAMES MADISON was once President Of
the United States. He sat also in the
Convention which adopted the Cons.itu-
ton. He wrote Of the provisions Of that
instrument, and declared emphatic ,lly
that the Convention thought it wolg to
admit the idea that Man can hold prop
erty in Man This was The Democratic
idea, and no other was entertained.
JAMES BUCHANAN is now President OF
the United States. In l849 he acted on
a committe at public meeting Of the Cit
izens Of Lancaster, which prayed to Con.
gress 10 limit and restrict slavery to
the States in which it then existed
Prior to his election, Mr.. Buchanan held
that Congress had power to prohibit its
extension Since his election, he has
had the boldness and badness 10 declare
that slavery exists in all the Territories
Of the United States, by virtue oEihe Con
stitution; and that the people have no
power to prohibit il while they remain a
Territory. Tnis haretcal doctrine is
called "Nalional Democracy" and The
olice-holders, the Post-masters, and all
who expect 10 feed at the public crib,
declare that this is National D9mocra
eva and that any man Is a fool whc
doubts ii.
This "Democracy" is not like that o.
Madison, and ift is Democracy at all
we confess that we don't know the mean
ing ofthe word.

FREEDOM OF THE Press AS UNDERSTOOD
BY THE "NATIoNAL DEMOCRACY. The
publisher of the Sabbath Recorder, a Bap-
tist paper issued in New York, has re-
ceived the following letter from the post
master Of Janslew, Lewis county, Ky:
"DEAR SIR:--I have been notified to
examine your paper, and find it contrary
to the laws of the State to hand it out OF
the office. You had better discontinue
the paper. Your subscribers here are
Rev. Samuel D. Davis and ?. Pond. !
shall retain your paper, and not hand it
out of my Office. M. W. BELL, p. M. "
Mr.. Bell is of course a "National Dem.
ocrat,' Of whose principles the Statesman
is 80 much euamored. This Postmaster
is petty censor set up by James Buch,
anan to prohibit the circulation of a re-
ligious newspaper among its subscribers
Ifthis had been done in Austria it would
be called DespoliSm, but as it is done in
the United States, tools and toadies call it
National Democracy!"-O. s Jour.

A TEST OF DEMoCRACY.-The Demo
cratic Legislatures of Pennsylvania and
Missouri have legalized the bank suspen-
sions in their respective States without
taking a single step in the direction of an
exclusive gold and silver currency, or a
diminution of the amount of bank paper.
Locofocos are oftentimes giants in talk
and pigmies in action.-LouisUIlie Jour
nal
The Journal has put the saddle on the
right horse. The so-caled National Dem
ocrats in Missouri and Pennsylvania have
shown themselves to be national dema-
gogues. They have been ranting and
proclaiming their devotion to Democrat
ic principles, because they were Sound
on the GOOSE that is, they thought that
white men ought to be driven out of Kan
sas to make room for negroes. This has
been their great test of Democracy, by
which every man has been tried If he
was in favor Of white men possessing the
territories he was a iree-soler and un-
sound; but if he was in favor of giving
it up to negro slaves, tnen he was sound
National Democrat, The late financial
disasters have, however, brought up these
pretenders to Democratic principles with
another test. The struggle of the De-
mocracy under jackson against the banks
is too'reeent to be ignored by these sham
ocrats. as they have, done the principles
of Jefferson, the father of Democracy,
with reference to Slayory,-S. Louis

only to twice the amount of the contract
price for the five years. We have only
time to state that the Court held that the

power 10 decide who were and who were
not the lowest responsible bidders; that
the word responsible in this connection
was not limited to a mere pecuniary re-

The Court also held that although the
statute would bear the construction, that
the bonds should be twice the entire con-
tract price; still it would bear also the
other construction put upon it by the
Board of Public Works, aud as they had
put that construction upon it, the State
