According to previous notice, the Dele

County, met in the Court House at Mil

on motion, AMOS WIGGINs ESQ. was call

pointed Secretary.
On motion of DR.. S. WEIGH, the Chair
appointed Committee to report a County

The Convention..the Ticket.

The Convention called to put in uomina-
tion Republican County Ticket met in
the Court House on Saturday last and dis
charged that duty. Of the Ticket put in
nomination by it, it is sufficient for US to
say that it is composed of good men,
amply qualified to discharge creditably the
duties of the several offices for which they
were nominated. If not elected, it will
not be because of there unftness, for that
is not denied, even by there political op-
poneuts, but because they do not happen
to be modern, progressive democrats.-
But whether the Ticket or a part Of it can
be elected or not, depends upon the effort
that is made to that end. Let us then 90
to work and Try. Without an effort moth
ing will be accomplished. The cause for
which we labor is worthy of all we can
do in its behalf.

Another Splendid Republican
Victory.

SEND THE GLAD SHOUT OF VICTORY
ABROAD The people of Maine have
again proclaimed their calm and deliber.
ate conviction of the wrong and iniquity Of
that "Border Rufian" policy which would
elevate the Slave power in this country in
to the supreme control Of all the depart
ments of the Government. The campaign
has been one singularly free from excite
ment-and therefore in the highest degree
favorable for an unprejudiced expression Of
opinion; and the result is, that Maine
stands as firmly for ''fres soil, free speech,
and freemen'' in September, 1857, as she
did in September, 1856. 1t was therefore
no mere excitement of Presidential elec.
ton that induced the people of Maine to
roll up majority of more than SEVEN
TEEN THOUSAND for HANNIBAL
HAMLIN, for the sober second thought
they have elected LOT M. MORRILL,, by
a majority nearly as large. The present
strength of Hannibal Hamlin OF of Lot NJ.
Morrill,, has had little to do in either case
with the result. They were voted for as
the Representatives of a great principle
which is dear above all other political mat
ters to the people of Maine. 1t is honor
enough to the gallant and distinguished
men under whose lead these two transcend
ent victories have been won, to say that
they are worthy and honorble representa-
tives of the great cause of which they have
been made the standard bearers.
We feel peculiar pride in the great tri-
umph achieved yesterday. The argus
and all the other Border Ruffian papers
in the State have been boasting for weeks
past, that the Republicans would fall off
sadly from their vote of last year, and that
the Democracy would very nearly hold
their own, thus making very large rela-
tive gain. They kept this game of "brag"
up with such persistency, that some of our
timid friends were really disposed to believe
there was something in it, and prepared
themselves to realize meagre victory
But the day of "talk" has gone by, and
now we have the "fgures"- those "fg-
lres" show that, although the aggregate
vote has fallen off as every one anticipated
The Republicans stand in every way as we'll
rs they did last year. The Democracy"
indeed, have shown no signs of vitality,
except in the 'cackling" and ''bragging" Of
she Custom House organs and the Federal
'ffice-holders. They are repudiated and
condemned by the people.-Poraand Id

MIR. Buchanan Embraced by { he
SeceSsiOnists.

The Richmond South, in its .-exulation
at having finally frightened Mr.. Buchanan
into abandoning an honest policy in behalf
OF Kansas, and into the adoption of the
views and purposes of the nullifers in re-
gard to the extension Of slavery into that
territory, says:
ave do not know who 'our partisans in
Virginia are, in the Enquirer's estimation.
Our friends-for we have no partisans-
are the States Rights Democracy, those
who condemned the compromise measures
of $780, 'secessionists,' &C., and who, in
condemding Robert j. Walker and approv-
ing the just sentiments contained in Mr..
Buchanan's late letter, have at once shown
their attachment to Republican principles
and their fidelity to the South"
The occasion of this comment, saws the
st. Louis Democrat, is the recent letter of
Mr.. Buchanan to certain New England
gentlemen, and it would appear that the
South, equally with ourselves, recognizes
the fact that in that letter the President
has thrown himself into the arms of "those
who condemned the compromise measures
OF $780," or, in the expressive phrase of
the South, the "secessionists, &C." We
presume, therefore, there will be no ques-
ton in the future about his "fidelity to The
south. State Journal.

from Lawrence -. Walker
threatens to Resign. 3
We have Lawrence and Leavepworth
papers of the 18th. The reported shooting
OF Gen. Lane is not true. Gov. Walkers
troops have been ordered to Fort Leaven-
worth. He has gone with them and
threatens to resign. 1t is stated that the
deslgn Is to station troops at all election
precincts where the Free State party is
strong and that the judges will permit
only such as they please to vote. Attor-
ney General Wier has decided that the law
of the first session of the Bogus Legisla-
ture is in force; that none can vote but
those who have paid taxes. and that nm.
less taxes are paid voters will be chaIleuo-
ed. Trouble election day is anticipated.
as Free State voters know their rights
and will maintain them. The Herald of
Freedom discloses some of the plans the
pro-slavery party have devised to prevent
fair expression at the ballot-box, and
predicts bloodshed if attempts are made to
carry them out.
The election of officers of the Constitu-
tional Convention is regarded as equivalent
to defeat of Gov. Walker. Judge El-
more was his favorite for President of the
Convention, and he exerted his infue nee
to defeat Calhoun. Calhoun is from Him
ois, and is understood to be in the inter-
ests of Douglas. The two Free State
Delegates were refused seats in the Con
vention, so that the slavery men have
everything entirely their own way.
After appointing Standing Committees
on the Executive, Judicial, Legislative,
Slavery, Bill of Rights of Suffrage, Educa-
tion, Internal Improvements, State and
County Boundaries, and Miscellaneous
Business, the Convention adjourned to the
third Monday of october.
TRooPs GoNE-THREATENED REslGNA-
TIoN OF THE GovERNoR.-Col. Cooke re-
ceived an order on Tuesday last from Gen.
Harvey, in command at Fort Leavenworth,
directing him to remove six companies of
dragons under his command at Lawrence
forthwith to that post, agreeably to the
order of the Secretary of War. On Thurs
day, the camp was broken up, and the
troops crossed toe river en- route for the
Fort.
Governor Walker had also received two
prior to this, desiring the troops
to be returned to the Fort; but deeming
their services necessary to preserve the
peace, he neglected to comply with the de-
mand-hence, probably, the reason of the
order from the Secretary of War.
Gov. Walker left Lecompton on Tuesday
noon last, for Fort Leavenworth, with the
view of telegraphing to the President, and
resigning his commission unless sustained
by the U. S. troops.-Lawrenee Herald,

EXTRACT FROM THE LETTER OF AN oFF1cEl
CAMP ON WALNUT CREEK,

| CAMP ON WALNUT CREEK,
August 3, 1857.
We had big fight on the goth, AMI
came out all right. We killed thirteen In
dians and wounded large number; burnt
more than three hundred lodges, all their
trappings, and winter supply of meat, etc.
Two of our men were killed and six woun-
ded-two MORALLY. Stuart is wounded,
but not seriously, l hope. The Indians,
some five or six hundred in number, attack
ed US, coming most on beautifully in line.
The cavalry, which were the only troops
engaged, met them, charging in the same
order, whipped them, and chased them
more than ten miles. We are now on their
trail, though three days behind them, and
have found dead Indians every day, and
dead horses every few miles. They have
gone TO the Arkansas, travelling fifty miles
the evening of the fight, where we shall
follow them until our provisions are ex-
hausted. If our horses had not been bro
ken down, we might have overtaken them
Our wounded were left on the battle-ground
a small fort having been built for their pro-
lection. and a company of infantry left to
guard them. 1 got off with my hands and
face powder burnt. An Indian dismount-
ed and approached corporal of my com-
pany, holding out. his right hand, as if he
wished to shake hands, while in the other
he held revolver. l saw him, called to
the corporal to shoot him, and rode at him
myself. He fired with his left hand,
wounding the corporal while shaking hands
then turned and fired from under my horse
at me, the ball passing over my leg and
under my bride arm. He was so close
that | could have placed my hand on his
head. How he missed me at this short
distance l cannot tell. | fired, but did not
kill him. He turned again upon me, and
Stewart came up to my assistance he fired
and wounded him. By this time Stanley
and Mcintyre had come up, and we finally
killed him. He threw everything he had
at US.
We lie over here to-day for the purpose
of having mans arm amputated.
