SCAHDALoUs.-The exubcrant Imagination
Of the brilliant q editor Of the Ottawa Re-
publican produced a few months ago an IDEAL
moroccan quite worthy Of such a second
Shakespeare. Il purported 10 be speech
delivered by Judge Douglas at an imaginary
meeting OF some Of his friends at Chicago,
the editor of this paper being one of the
supposed audience. To the same massive
intellect, doubtless, the world is also indebt-
ed for the following equally original and
purely imaginary speech, picked up by a
friend in the street, and on the back Of
which was written Report Of Speeches at
last nights Caucus" If intended to hit
any candidate on the republican ticket, we
pronounce it outrageous and scandalnus
Mr. Modera;or-W When | first solicited
you to solicit me to accept the nomination
for the office for which | have been nonina-
ted. stated that should "kind Of decline
like" along at first, and would give as
reason that my health and my private bust
ness would not permit me to give il the re
quisite attention but that | would finally
submit to take upon myself the discharge
of its OnerouS duties after large majority
had been solicited to solicit me TO permit my
name to be used in that connection. The
work of soliciting having been performed to
safe extent, and my nomination secured, l
have concluded that the indications are suf.
ficiently clear that | am the choice Of
large majority Of those who were solicited
to solicit me, and that il therefore becomes
my solemn duty to acquiesce in their choice"

GREAT RAINS AT THE EAsT.-Very heavy
rains fell in New York and various parts of
New England in the early part OF this week.
A despatch from Albany, dated Oct. 90,
says: t.s
1t II o'clock last night, the water rose
to within two and half feet of the great
February freshet The water remained sta
tionery some six hours, when it began to re.
ccde, and during the last twelve hours it has
fallen eighteen inches. The business portion
of the city is yet submerged some two or
three feet. There is no communication with
vessels lying at the docks. except by boats,
consequently no loading or dischrrging of
cargoes can he effected. large number
of vessels are lying at the lumber district,
waiting for their carsoes, but they cannot
be approached as the entire district is under
water. Canal boats can neither enter the
basin nor depart westward. In truth, all
manner of business carried on near the ca
nal or river is entirely suspended, and mer-
chants can only approach their stores by
means Of boats and entering the second sto-
ries .. .. .r .. b. ia
The Mohawk flats, down to the junction
of the Hudson. presents q field of water

MARITAL LA~ N BALTisoI.E Plug Ugly
Know Nothingsism in Baltimore he's com.
United so many outrsges At every election
in that city for the las, few years that il
has been deemed advisable to place the city
under martial law on election day mex;
Wednesday. y despatch, Oct. %, says:
Gov. Lyon issued proclamation this
morning, placing the city under martial law
and ordered out two divisi rs, some 700 men
and their commanding officers are orderec
TO enrol at once and repor, for service, and
hold themselves in readiness to preserve be
peace on Wednesday nex,, the day Of gene
raj election.
The Governor takes this step against the
decision OF the Mayor, but at the request
and on representa- .ous made by numerous
responsible citizens.
Considerable feeling was aroused By tbs
proclamation.
There is great diversity OF opinion in re-
gard to the measure, many considering il
justified by the cXi-tIn circumstances. whii c
others look upon 1t as unwise, and celebrated
to increase the difficulties apprehended on
election day.

DEMOCRATIC NOMINATIONS
The Election.

our readers must not forget tnat T ext
Tuesday is election day. We hope no free
man will place so little estimate on the in
valuable right Of the elective franchise, as TO
fail to vote on that day. There are impor-
tant officers to elect, and the choice must be
made from two tickets, differing not only in
politics, but in the personal merits and quail
ifications Of the candidates.
The Republican ticket is confessedly all
head Mr.. Lindley was placed in the lead
for the same purpose that locomotive is
paced at the head Of train-to drag the
rest through. But, although Mr. Lindley is
personally unexceptionable, there is an OBJ
lection to him that voters must consider.
He was nominated not to be the County
Clerk, but to defeat Mr.. Raymond. A com
munication in another column explains the
motive Of his nomination and the probable
that the election of Mr.. L. will, beyond the
first year at most, leave it uncertain who is
to be the actual incumbent of the important
Office of county clerk.
Mr.. Dow, Mr.. JONES, and Mr.. GRAY, for
the offices for which they are respectively
nominated, we maintain are men that should
be preferred to The opposing candidates for
the same offices. Mr.. Dow as careful, ac-
complished and accurate clerk and account
ant has no superior in La Sale county
His opponent possesses none Of these essen
tial qualifications for the office Of County
Treasurer. For the duties of the Office Of
School Commissioner, Mr.. Wait is certainly
not the equal of Mr.. Jones in qualifications,
besides which it is not right to compel the
hundreds Of persons throughout the county
that have business every month with the
school commissioner at the county seat, to
go four miles into the country to seek that
fuuctionary. The School Commissioner
ought to reside at The county seat Mr.
Gray, for county surveyor is as much the
superior Of his opponent in qualifications
rs a man who has learned his trade is sr!-
perior to one who has not learned it. There
is no comparison between the qualifications
of the two men.
On the score Of fitness and propriety,
then, we urge that the candidates nominal
ed by the Democratic Convention ought to
be elected. There are few voters in the
county so much warped by party prejudice
but will admit this. There are no grave po-
litical issues at stake in the approaching
election, and, knowing, as every one does,
that hundreds, at an election like this are
In the habit of voting for the best men ire
spective of political considerations, we claim
that such ought to vote the democratic tick
ct straight through, and we believe they
will.

BEEF PACKING, Pork, &c.-Beef comes
forward generally in good condition, the
cattle being well flied out, SO far as meat is
concerned. The yield of tallow on tho kid
neys, &c, is exceedingly light, on account Of
the very backward spring, which caused the
grass in the early part of the season to be
very scanty.
A number Of the owners and drovers are
packing on their own account, aud we learn
that the packers generally are ready to put
up boef for all who are DESTROYS of dspos
ing of their stock in this way. Messrs. Hub
bard & Co.. an old established firm, will
pack at fair prices, and also draw against
shipments for parties making them.
Of course, with the market in such a con-
dition, prices have ruled low. Cattle which
started early in the season at S. 50aS6 so
per ctwt. net, are now selling at 81 50aS3 90
gross such cattle will average from $50 to
500 lbs. Some very ordinary cattle have
been sold as low as 81 O0a$2 % per cwt.
gross.
A good many Of the packers contracted
their hides early in the season to the tam
ncrs at 9 cts, but those who now take the
chances of the market are obtaining but 4a5
cts. per 10.
Talow is selling at 10a111 cts. per h.,
mostly at the former figures. l..f ~
1t will then be seen that a large number
of cattle will remain in the country till
spring, when holders hope to obtain better
prices for them. Such hopes, however, de-
pend for realization ALMOST altogether upon

The Chicago Democrat charges the au-
thorship of the following article, referring to
the Kansas Constitutional Convention, and
which appeared q week ago in the Chicago
Times, upon Judge Douglas. OF course
Wentworth knows well enough that Judge
d. writes no editorials for the Times, but
how he expects to injurc Judge D. by such
charge is mystery, for a more manly,
outspoken article we seldom met in news
paper:
What that Convention will DO, or what It
will not do, we have not the means OF
knowing. But we know that any attempt to
force q pro. slavery constitution upon the
people without the opportunity OF voting 1t
down at the polls, will be regarded, after the
recent expression of sentiment, as so deci-
dedly unjust oppressive and unworthy q a
| free people, that the people of the United
| States will not sanction it. 1t would add
thousands to the vote of the republican par
| ty in every State of the Union, and give to
that organization what it has never had yet
"a show Of business and truth. To the De-
mocratic members of the convention the
course is plain. The people have decided IN
/ FAVOR Oh Tree Ctdlc-tuOuSn tHty haSc hos
voted on the naked issue Of free State or
slave State" they have voted practically in
favor of a free State. Two-thrds OF the
/ Democratic party in Kansas have voted with
the free State party in Kansas at the recent
election, in order to make the popular deci-
sion more emphatic. As Kansa must be a
! free State, even those persons in the terrific
| ~ who are known as proslavery men must
recognize in the late election a decision
which must not be sighted nor put at def
ance. TO that expression of the popular
/ will there should be graceful, if not cheer
| full submission. Kansas is to be free
State! That fact being ascertained, let the
convention frame constitution to suit her
best interests upon all other questions, and
let the prohibition of slavery be put into it,
clearly and without quibbie, plainly " ithout
/ disguise, explicitly, broadly and firmly
Let the convention then submit that consti-
tuition to the people. If it be adopted,
/ Kansas will come into the Union At the next
session, and the republican party will expire

We have little to add to the election re-
ports we have given heretofore, except that
the latest accounts from Iowa render it pro-
bable that the republicans have after all car
ried that state by small majority. Mime.
sofa is undoubtedly democratic all over, SC
is Pennsylvania, and Ohio is little less. The
democrats have the legislature, while the
republicans have carried their governor by
SO small majority that they can regard i;
as little less than a defeat. Taken all to-
gether, the late elections show quite as re,
rnarkable stampede from the republican
party, 50 jubilant year ago, as the fail cleo
tons of 1871 showed from whiggery after
its brief triumph during the hard cider
saturnalia. These hard cider and negro tenn
pests are necessary occasionally to purify
the political atmosphere, as tornadoes are to
purify the air we breathe.
