THE GREAT FRAUD OF THE WINTER.

The Locofocos of the Indiana Legis-
lature have just perpetrated one of the
most outrageous frauds of the season, by
the election of two U. S. Senators.
The facts in the case are simply these ::
The election of L. S. Senators should
have been hold two years ago. But at
that time, although the opposition had an
ample majority on joint ballot, the Loco
focos had a bare majority in one branch
of the Legislature, and refused to go into
the election.
AT the present session the Locofocos
have majority on joint ballot, but the
opposition are too strong for them in the
Senate and have constantly refused to go
into joint session until general law be
passed fixing permanent time for hold
ing Senatorial elections.
Thus the matter stood till the second
Monday in January, when both houses
met to canvass the vote for State officers,
and adjourned to the Cd of February.
The Republican portion of the Senate
remained in session during the session of
the joint convention on the second Mon
day in January, and again on the second
of February, while the Locofocos of the
Senate and House proceeded in joint con-
vention to elect United State Senator'S.
The Senate of the United States have
Just decided Harlan's election Illegal,
even although the Senate had agreed by
a vote to 60 into joint convention for the
purpose of an election. In the Indiana
case there was no agreement to go into
joint convention, and therefore no pre-
tense that the Senate had ever, as body,
acted upon the subject. Thus this lndi-
ana case lacks the essential ground of the
previous concurrence of the Senate,
which was relied on by the advocates of
the validity of Mr.. Harlan's election, aud
therefore is utterly destitute ofany ground
of reason, justice or consitutionality to
sustain it. The election is brought about
by force and fraud, in utter defiance OF
the Constitution and the forms of law.
But it is expected by the conspirators
that the Locofoco Senate of the United
States will permit them to take their seats
and hold them till after tho Legislature
adiourns.-And then when the Senate va
Gates the seats by turning these pretended
Senator's out, during the recess of the In
diana Legislature, the Locofoco Governor
will appoint them Senators, and they will
be admitted under such appointment
BY the frequent recurrence of such
outragcs upon the Constitution and the
forms of our Republican Government,
the public mind is becoming familiarized
with examples of force and fraud, and
will, ere long, be prepared for the usar'
pstion of the Presidential chair, in viola
ton of the law and the Constitution

DEATH OF DocToR KANE.-The whole

famous Arctic expedition, which are 50
manifest in his modest and elegant mar

During his memorable expedition, the in.
Vulnerable hardships which he encoun.
tered impaired his constitution and

IE~ The Democracy of this State ha

GE- The Democracy of this State has
been sorcly exercised TO find something
in the private or professional character of
Prof. BUGBEE, the Republican nominee
for the Office of Superintendent Of Pub
lie instruction, with which to find fault.
A fter the most diligcnt search, and per-
severance that in better cause would be
commcndable, they succeeded at last i'll
dragging forth something which, in the
opinion of tho Dubuque Express d Her.
otd, initiates decidedly against the claims
ofthe Professor for the position for which
he is nominated. The Democracy have,
as every one knows, lately formed peculiar
views in reference to tie dates and prov
ence of the clerical profession, Insisting
that the receiver of ministerial orders by
that act loses his hold upon things tenn
poral, and should fix his eyes and thoughts
thereafter, entirely upon things spiritual.
This doctrine was ardently advocated by
the Express d Heraid, in obedience to
party dictation, during the late Presidcn-
tial canvass, and it seems yet to cling to
it alfectiona.ely. 1t finds in the fact that
Prof. BUGBEE some times breaches the
gospel, abundant reason to.disqualify him
for the post of Superintendent, and ex-
claims with upliftcd hands against such
service of q God anil Nanmon." Itsays
also that the Professor is connected with
certain banking institution" and init
mates pretty broadly that that business
is not at all consistent, according to its
views, with a profession of religion
What an unmitigated set of scamps the
Express must consider the MoBLEYs and
BARNEYs, the LANGwoRTuYs and HERRoSs
of that city. Assuredly they ought to
feel obliged to it for this public express
sion of its opinion of the morality of
their calling. But fortunately for them
as well as the Professor, all creation dom t
think rs DoRR does nor do Banks ex-
cite in most other minds the same amount
of terror that they create in his. Most
people believe that the calling does not
necessarily ennoble the man, but rather
etce cersa--that though the calling of an
editor, for instance, is noble one, yet
Quasqueton guardian. (Quasqueton, Buchanan County, Iowa) 1856-1858, 1857-02-28

that there are many who occupy that po-
sition who use it merely to distort and
falsify, TO abuse and traduce. The fact
that Professor BUGDEE has the business
talent to enable him to fill the position as
cribed to him by the Express, is but an
additional reason why he should be elect
ed, enabling him, as il will, to preserve
the school fund from the grasp of a set of
political sharks who now feed upon it, and
of whom the editor of the Express and
HraM is not the least.

4 TERRITORIAL EXTENSION OF Iowa
The General Assembly of this state has
memorialized Congress for an extension
OF territory on the northwest boundary.
Our present western boundary from the
junction of the Big Sioux river with the
Missouri, is defined by the course of the
Big Sioux river with the Missouri, is de-
fined by the course of the former, up to
latitude 43 deg. 30 min. The design of
the memorialists is to take up the north
ern boundary line from this latter point to
the Big Sioux river, and continue it upon
that parallel until it intersects the Mis-
souri, river The projection of this line
would strike that river about 600 miles
above the mouth of the Big Sioux, near
ly opposite the Mankisitah, or White
Earth River, which runs nearly due
East course, and heads directly on line
with the South Pass of the Rocky Noun
tains, about oLe degree of latitude north
of Fort Laramie.
This is large tract of territory, por-
tons Of it exceedingly rich aud valuable,
and is well watered by the Vermillion, or
Wadshesha River, the James river, and
its tributaries, five considerable streams,
dignitied with the name of rivers, the
Wanauri river, the Nawii, and several
smaller streams.-4Naguoketa En-.

PANAMA, Feb. Z,

Correspondence of 7riJune--A gen.
tleman occupying high position here,
has permitted me to read letter from q
British Consul at Punla Arenas, in Costa
Rica, on the Pacific side. That letter
states that Walker, with the remnant of
his force, was hemmed in on all sides by
the allied and Costa Rican forces, without
clothing or provisions, snd demoralzed
by disease and starvation. His entire.
force does not exceed 500, and they arc
fighting with desperate hope of being
able to get out of the country.
Eleven hundred men had arrived at
Riadgo, and were on their march toward
Rivas, and Del Nicarauguans, under Don
Patricio Rivas, were also OH their march
to the same spot.
The main body of the allied troops
numbering nearly 1000, were also ON
the islhmus, at Choutales.
On the eastern shore of the Lake, was
a force of 1000 men, kept in reserve, and
who could either join General Mora, at
San Carlos, or cross the Lake to the 18TH
mus, and march upon Riyas, if required.
AT last accounts the San Juan River
was in possession of the Costa Ricans,
with every prospect of their being able.

might arrive from the United States.
