the following resolutions:
,.Rcsoro1 That viii support no man as a delegate
to the constitutional convention, whose duties it win be

and mould the political institutions under which We as

and without mental reservation TO every honorable
effort to submit the to every JNd fd actual settler
Kansas at the proper time for the vote being taken
upon its adoption by the people in order that the said
constitution may be adopted rejected by the actual set
tiers in this Territory, majority OF the voters may
decide and
Reotsed That this convention as the representative
of the national democracy of Douglas county Kansas
Territory, do pledge themselves as individuals and as
body both in their selection of delegates represent
Douglas county in the constitutional convention and in
the OF conducting the said election to use their
best efforts in all good faith and sincerity to represent

CHEATING the cREDUIoUs.

The Republican" leaders are continually cheating
their followers. This occurred most remarkably IN
relation to the decision in Dred Scotts case. The
leading organs Of the party promptly published the
dissenting opinions, and without laying before their
readers one Of those Of tie majority, showing what
the court actually decided Every material part Of
the decision was grossly misrepresented and the
judges charged with holding as law what is not to
be found III either of the opinions In speaking of the
estimation in which negroes were held for more than
a century prior to framing the constitution, and re-
ferrng to what people then thought of the race so
far political rights concerned, the Chief JUS
tice said, that it then considered that they had
no [political rights which the white man was bound
to respect, and that the negro might justly and law
fully be reduced to slavery for his benefit" He was
as both the sentence and context show referring to
past historical fact, which no wel-niormed man
can question, stating what opinions white men held
and acted upon some one or two centuries since
The republican" press and speech-makers have
assured their readers and listeners that the cout
decided that the negro g had no rights which
the white bound to respect Those
who have spread this falsehood knew that no
decision TO that effect, or anything like it, was
made, and they refuse 10 publish the opinion Of
the Chief Justice for fear their misrepresentation
should be detected. They wilfully pcrsevere in
spreading far and wide this known fasehood for po-
litcal effect hoping to break the force and effect of
the decision by creating the belief that it is founded
in the untrue proposition alluded to. They know
that in slave as well as in free States slaves have
many rights recognised and expressed in the laws
for their protection which are enforced by the courts
and ministers of justice. What is truly marvellous
is that several republican State legislatures should
have been deceived by this fraud and without hay
ing seen the opinion Of the court have vcntured to
denounce the court and the principles upon which
the case was decided. In some States-as in New
York, Massachusetts,, and elsewhere--they acted be-
fore lire of the decision had been published or
read. Their leading organs cheated their readers
and the leading and talking members cheated their
associates, into acting upon false statements, making
them denounce what they had not seen and sent
ments which had not been uttered. Is there sin
gle republican paper that viii publish the opinion
of the Chief Justice? In no other way can their
readers know what he said or what principles cor
troled the decision. lf these papers intend to 10
fair and not cheat their readers they will at once
those who look to their columns for truth.

DESCRIPTION OF 4 PLUG UGLY.

The New York correspondent Of the Boston
Courier writes as follows;
81 Have you ever seen pug uglyP He Is Of Balti-
origin, and Of the species of the killer known in
Philadelphia, and short boy Of New York You have
nothing in your city which at all resembles the pug the
killer the short boy. The pug or plug as he Is
sometimes called derives his not from anything ex
pressed in his physognomy but from the effects
which he produces upon the countenanoe OF adversary
Every time he strikes he plugs ugly, and as conse-
qucnce ugly pug follows. He is of limited stature
has compressed face cosecropped hair and is general

IHE NORTHERN DEMOCRACY.

We publish in our columns to-day the speech Of
Dr. +. Sherrod, delivered short time since in Fin
castle Virginia. Or. Sherrod is a native of the Old
in Indiana. lie was member Of the constitutional
convention Of his adopted State; was several times
delegate to the National Democratic Conventions
and is at present a member Of the Legislature, OF
whose committee of ways and means he is chairman
Our northern brethren naturally feel a little sore
know-nothings, that they are not sound upon the
great questions Of the day and it is but right we
conceive, that they should enjoy the opportunity of
vindcating their just and welIearned claims to ma
tionalty.
