MoRE SELLING DEAD BopIEs.- The poor
house officers Of Chicago have now got them
selves into trouble about selling the bodies
of dead paupers. ltappears that they have
been in the habit of packing mp the bodies Of
those who died in the a'ms-house as pork,
and sending them to the medical colleges in
that vicinity for disposition. Some time
since, several OF these barrels Of "provisions"
were found in warehouse in Chicago, whith-
or they had strayed. The discovery was
finally made by wagon driver, who was en-
pIoyei in ahouing the barrels from the aims
house, and who took the liberty of examining
his freight. The Supervisors at once met
and recommended tha. the physician, warden,
and all concerned, be removed from office
forthwith. 1t was shown that the price asked
for bodies to go to Michigan WAS 800 deliv.
| cred At the depot. They could not tell how
many had been taken; as the business had
been carried on FOR some time.
We trust it will not be said hereafter that
We have no usc for "paupers" ii, This country,
"foreign" or native. When dead they arc
worth $50 n piece in Chicago, and We know
not how much in Philadelphia. 1t is fortu-
nate these things occurred on the other side
of Mnson's and Dixon's line. We have not
| yet heard Off stakeholder selling his dead

BosTos NORTON OF lioNEsTY.-The Bos-

prominent ship-bulder in that vicinity has
been in the habit of over-measuring his ships
Cor years, thereby cheating those who pur-
chased them ont of vast sums of money. The
custom house officers who measured them,
suspectng no foul play, generally had one OF
the builders men to hold one end Of the line
while they held the other, and the man hay
ing received his instructions from the builder,
made the ship measure MS he was directed
This false measurement was considered Off
cial, and was used by the builder to show the
government tonnage Of the ships when he
offered them for sale. lla-has been known
to cheat at least $4,000 upon single ship.
He should be keel hauled, made to pick oak

MURDERAMosT Foul AND UHYATURAL.-
Mr.. ID. II. Witchcr, proprietor OF the Fulton
House, of this city, was shot last night by his
own son, WA. Wilchor-the baIl entering
his abdomen and lodging in his back bone,
leaving no hope of recovery.
The particulars of this horrid transaction,
so far as We have been able TO gather, were
these: The young man, WIN. Witcher, has
been for some time past addicted to intem-
perauce. On yesterday evening he and his
father were closed in room together What
transpired is not known; it is supposed, how
ever, that the former rcproyed his son for his
incorporate and dsorderIy course. lmmedi-
ately after supper Wm. WtcIer followed his
father to his room, and shot him down IN the
presence OF his wife and chldren-the moth
e., brothers and sisters of the assassin.
He immediately sprung from the room, and
made his escape thrnugh the darkness The
money box has since been discovered broken
open. Young Witcher at latest accounts, had
not been apprehended.-AAanta Hteuigencer.

NATIONAL DEMoCRACY.-from cOnstitu-
tioniL inligniiiy and indolence of mind,
(says the Columbus Enquirer) from want OF
time or an absence of facts upon which n
Just conclusion can be based, few persons
can think o. act Independent oithe information
orcon,ciion OF some individual, whose oppor-
tunities they consider have been better than
their own. A knowledge of this credulity of
man, enables the demagogue to exercise
more than legitimate influence, and hence
it is, that an honest, but too conidng peo
pie are often deceived audcheated out of their
dearest rights. Hence it is, that any thing
which is boldly asserted and pl'nsihly main
tanned is so often mistaken for truth. Time
may expose the imposture, but the antdo;e
may be administered too late, TO remove the
deadly effects Of the poison.
With these sel-evident suggestions before
him, let the reader, with that independence
Of thought which should ever characterize
an American freeman, compare the assump-
tons with the facts, the assertions with the
proofs, and saw how far the Democracy are
entitled to arrogate the name of II National
party. 10 constitute party in any thing else
but the mere name, there must be u unity of
measures, n unity in ends and unity in
means and we defy their ablest orators or
presses 10 point to single one of these uni
Ties as an Ingredient Of Democratic policy.

DOUGLAS on POPULAR SovEREIGYTY.-At
a late speech at Springfield, Illinois, Senator
Douglas is reported to have used the follow-
ing language:
"Once he was in favor of nominal popular
sovereignty, but nOW he had become conUinced
that The thing raS practically tcrong-ihat
the Norm ms were traitors, aliens, enemies,
outlaws, lecherous scoundrels, &c, that the
territorial act should be instantly and per-
emptorially repealrd-that Young was
murderer, outlaw, rebel against the Union.-
He said 'he reversed his old opinions on this
ground-had swung around, and had taken
an impartial view; that when II people were
incapable of6elfgorernmen,, il was the right,
it was the duly of other people, other gov
crnments, to lay hold Of and seize that other
foolish people, and to govern them aoienS
roleHs-willing or unwilling"
The question next comes up, who is to
judge Of the incapacity of a people for self
government? II IN "alien, enemy" or other
vagabond is unfit to vote in Utah, what shall
we do with him in Kansas, and all the wide
domain of the West? Oh, Mr.. Douglass be
careful, lest you tread on slippery places, for
popular sovereignty in Utah, is popular SOW
ereignty in any other territory and the Nor
mon Knaves of Utah are no worse than the inf.
des and outlaws that are crowding our terri.
tories from all the cimes of the Sun.

The MGNNEsoTA CONVENTION. One OF
the most characteristic displays Of modern
democracy is now on exhibition at the Min
esota Constitutional Convention. That par
had the most undoubtod confidence in their
o1ity to carry the Territory, and thus gov
on the new State, and had therefore counted
up their official chickens long before the of
fees We're Matched. Their surprise and rage,
consequently, may be imagined, when they
asoertained that the Republicans had fair
working majority in the Constitutional Con-
,ycnhon. They originated variety of threats
by way Of getting control of the Convention
huI none Of them promising to be ehectual'
what did they do, upon the assembling OF the
convention, but sece6e in body and set up
fractional, sham organization by themselves
more barefaced proceeding was never at
enpted by any set of men honored with the
name of popular delegates, or, for aught that
we can see, one more foolish and abortive. A
correspondent Of the Chicago Tribune gives
'ne following account of this famous seees-
SION, having viewed it with his own eyes
u Turing the forenoon Of yesterday, fifty-six
republican delegates took their seats in the
N''l OF the capitol, and awaited the hour Of

delegates marched into tho hall in double file,
under the lead of Mr.. Secretary Chase, fol-
lowed by fifteen or twenty lrshmon who had
abandoned their duties on tho lovee tempo
rarily, to assist in keeping order and putting
the Convention on a thorough working basis
These auxiliaries, by the way, had voted
twice apiece at each ward in the city on the

interest in having things start off Democratic

clarod it carried. Simultaneously with this
latter proceeding, Mr. Chase marched up to
the Speakers desk, and entertained a motion
from Willis A. German that the Convention
adjourn until Tuesday to-day at - o'clock.
Instead of escorting Mr. Chase straight back
to his scat, as in my view they should have
done, the Republican majority took no notice
of his presence. He put Germans motion
the thirty Democrats voted aye, the Corkoui-
ans shouted age; Chase announced that the
