ARRIVAL FROM THE PLA1Ns.-Mr. Wall
ter Scott, of Hartford county. has just ar
rived from Magraw's wagon road expedl'
ton, which he left on the ed of August.
He states that they have had considerable
trouble with the Cheyenne Indians. who
had stolen some of their mules, and whom
they followed and had a skirmish with.
killing FIVE and taking six prisoners. He
also reports the expedition laying over at
Fort Kearncy. unable to proceed on &C.
count of the troubesomeness of the saw
ages. Mr.. Magraw was greatly in want
OF men, several having been discharged
and large number deserted. Grass
was plenty on the plains. but water very
scarce, and the men and animals were
much fatigued. There was also, he says.
considerable dissatisfaction among the
men in regard to the payment of their
salaries, the appropriation, it is said. be-
ing nearly exhausted. Otherwise the
expedition was doing as we'll as could be
expected.

Northern Democracy--B:y their Fruits


Ye Shall Know Them.
At this time when so many hot bloods
of the ultra South are conspiring to rend
the National Democratic party in twain,
and to erect on its ruins sectional organ
ization, whose only principle of warfare
shall be indiscriminate hostility to every
thing Northern at time when discord
reigns supreme and the dissolution of the
great national party of the Union seems
so imminent and inevitable; at time
when our most trusted and prominent
men are taking counsel of faction and dis
content and tanning flames which. from
their age and position. the country ex-
pected that they would help to subdue,
it may not be improper to remind the
South of what that Northern Democracy
which they are making SO much haste to
repudiate. have done in cooperation with
the South on memorable occasions in the
past:
"when Florida was an applicant for
admission into the Union as a sovereign
State in 1845. with slavery. the vote
on her admission stood thus In the
House, northern democrats, yeas So, nays
4. All the members of all other parties
of the North. numbering 81. voted in the
negative. In the Senate all the northern
democrats, numbering IL, voted in the
affirmative, while all the northern men
belonging to other parties numbering 9.
voted against it. But for the votes Of
those northern democrats. Florida would
not have been admitted into the Union as
State.
"Take now the question Of the annex
alton of Texas. Who in the North voted
for III? who against it? In the House OF
Representatives 81 northern democrats
voted for it, and only 8 against it
while not a single man from the north
of any other party voted for it. All 9TH
ers, numbering As. voted against it. But
for northern democratic votes Texas
would not have been annexed.
Now, let US take the fugitive slave
law. On the adoption of this law the
vote stood thus Northern democrats,
yeas 80, nays IA {; all others from the
North, yeas 3, nays &c. But 8 northern
votes outside of the democratic party.
Thus it is clear that The fugitive slave law
would never have been passed without
the aid of northern democrats.
"Let us now consider the Nebraska bill
the most trying and terrific of all mea.
sures to the northern democracy thai
measure under which courage quailed and
virtue was seduced that measure which
in the North, made apostacy a virtue
and fidelity crime which made an alb
olitionist an angel. and a democrat de-
vil-an ordeal the most fearful of all e
which tho northarn darocracv bava owe,
been subjected. On this question how
did the vote stand ? The northern demo
Gratis who voted for it in the House were
As; those who voted against it were 38
Not one northern man Of any other party
voted for it. They all voted against i
to the number of 50. In the Senate the
northern democrats who voted for it were
IA. against it A. No northern Wing OF
(of course) abolitionist voted for it.

REsIeEATIoE OF JUDGE CuRr1s.-The
Boston Courier confirms the rumor that
Judge Curtis has resigned his seat on the
bench of tho Supreme Court of the Uni
ted States. He has been led to take this
step from reasons growing out of his pri.
vste affairs. Judge Curtis received his
appointment from President Fillmore in
1851. at the special instance, it was said,
OF Daniel Webster. who had the highest
opinion of his abilities. His circuit en-
braced the States of Maine, New Hamp-
shire, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island.
and his successor will doubtless be Sc
lected by President Buchanan from the
members OF the bar in one of those States.
Mr. Toucey. the Secretary of the Navy,
is already named to succeed him. Ill
will be remembered that Judge Curtis
was one of the Judges who dissented
from the decision Of the Supreme Court
"a ihe famous bred Scott case.
The Washington States says the resig.
nation Of Judge Curtis has been received

A MOB IN KANsAs.-On the 22d ult. q
Free State Convention was to have been
held at Atchison, Kansan, for the pur.
pose of electing delegates to the Grass.
hopper convention, and Gen. Lane had
been invited to deliver an address. Lane,
it is known, has excited the hatred of the
pro>slavery party, who, it is said, declar-
ed he should not speak in Atchison. A
letter to the st. Louis Democrat, dated
the 22d, says:
at an cary hour this morning the pro.
slavery men in Atchison began to show
manifestations of determination to break
up the convention, and to prevent Lane
from speaking, by force. They assem-
bled in crowds, armed with knives, re-.
volvers and rifles, and formed into COM
panies, paraded the streets all day,
threatening to shoot or hang Lane if he
should make his appearance in the town.
One of them had rope about his waist,
with which he threatened to hang Lane
II he could catch him. Others who had
rifles said they would draw on Jim Lane
at first sight But the Free State gene.
raj did not make his appearance, he
drove to within mile and half of town.
when he met some of his friends. and
they prevented him from going in, and
the regulators were disappointed.

low had the effect to restore order.
