TINE TO CHOKE HIM OFF.-Senator Doug
las made a last effort to bring the testimony
regarding the frauds by the Pro-Slayery par
ty in Kansas, before the Senate a few days
ngo. We give the paragraphs of his last
speech, proceeding the garroting process:
The testimony as 10 Kickapoo is, that, al
though there had been vast numbers of Illegal
votes during the day, young Thomas Ewing,
son Of the late Secretary of the Interior, vo-
ted next TO the last; only one man voted az
ter him, according to the testimony; yetthe
poll-books show some five hundred votes adj
deG subsequent to his. The certificate was
cot off; five hundred names were added;
and then the certificate was pasted on after
these names. The testimony is equally con-
elusive as to Shawnee, where sever hundred
or nine hundred votes were added. A man
by the name of Baily was the last man who
voted, according to the testimony. The
proof was conclusive that he was the last
man who voted; and then they cut off the
certificate, put on seven hundred or nine
hundred names, and pasted in on again; and
they call that a return |!
These facts are we'll known to the world;
they are proven before the officers of the
law; they are known to Mr.. Calhoun, the
president of this convention. He is here In
this city under protection Of the President
of the United States, and held by his com
mission. He withholds the facts and the
Senate refuses to permit the information to
be extracted, and we are told that it is none
of our business. We are called upon
Here he was choked off thus:
The Vice-P President. will the Senator
pause for a moment, ii is the duty Of the
Chair to call up the special order at this
hour.
Mr.. Douglas.-I never knew a debate to
be cut off in it's midst; but if that is the rule
| must yield.
The Vice Presldent.-The rule is posi-
tive. The Chair has cut off debate fiteen
or twenty times since the commencement
of the season.
Mr.. Green.-I insist upon the enforce
ment of the rule, for Intend to reply TO this
fully.
II was high time 20 choke him OF.

The CONDITION OF MExIco.-The
downfall Of Comonfort seems only to
have increased the anarchy and con.
fusion in which Mexico had previous
ly been involved. By advices from
the City of Mexico TO the 9Th OF Feb
ruary, we learn that the whole conn-
try is overrun by bandits aud assas-
sins, that Indian outrages are as fire.
,quent as ever, and that the forces of
the Puros aud Co~nservadores arc
marching and countermarchng, with
the expectation of speedily meaSur.
ing their strength in battle. Tha
character of the people. however, IL
a guaranty that this final resort Of
the bqliigerents willb Be DELAYED as long
as possible.

The Democratic Anti-Lecompton Con-
.vention, held at Columbus on "Wednesday
last, was rather a formidable demonstration.
Among the distinguished members of the
party present and participating in the pro-
ceedings were the Hon. H. B. Payne, late
Democratic candidate for Governor; Judge
Morton. late U. S. District Attorney; Hon.
Stanley Mathews, present U. S. District At
torney Col. G. w. M%annypenny, late
Commissioner of Indian Affairs; Jacob
Rhineheart, late Democratic candidate for
Secretary of State; with a considerable num-
Der of members of the Legislature, Edi-
tors. &c. The principal speakers were Hon.
F. P. Stanton, late Acting Governor of
Kansas; Judge Johnson of Kansas; Hon.
Stanley Mathews, and Durbin Ward. Let
| tiers we're received from Gov. Wise, of Va,
and Ex-Governor Walker, heartily approving
| of the objects of the Convention. The
speech of Mr.. Stanton occupied three hours
in delivery, and was an able expose of the
Kansas fraud in all its phases. In addition
to resolutions in favor OF popular sovereignty
and the Cincinnati platform,--approving the
resolutions of instruction passed by the Ohio
!Legislaiure,---expressing satisfaction with
the course of the anti Lecompton press of
the party--appluudlng Walker, Douglas,
Wise and their followers.-and providing for
delegates to a general Convention of those
entertaining similar views in the Northern
States-(but enary one' lauding or even
naming the President)--the following were
adopted:
Resolved. That the Lecompton Constisu.
lion is the offspring of usurpation and frau d,
aud is not the act aud deed of the people Of
Kansas, but, on the contrary, 1t has been re-
pudiated and renounced by an %overwhelm-
ing majority OF the lawful voters of said Ter.
ritory and 70 impcssjt on an unwilling and
protesting peopls. you'd 5e an act of gross
injustice and tyrannY, IN contravention o.
the platform and r.ttghteG faith of the Dem
ocratIc party, snbFessiye Of the principles o
seli-gorernment. and pro,notive of diStrus'
and alienation hetW cen the different sec
lions Of Union.
Resolved, that the enforcement of this re
jected instrument on the people OF Kansas a
gainst their known and expressed will, unless
arrested and defeated. will lead to the mos
unfortunate and disastrous results to thu
Democratic party and the Union.

WE regret to learn that our furious anti
Lecompton neighbor was not able to attend
the State Convention of his political friends
at Columbus, on Wednesday last. He dares
not often miss being present at such assem-
blages--but unfortunately duty called him
on this occasion in another direction to a
Firemen's meeting in Springfield!

Jo4r DeAs AND HIS FArHER-1N-LAw

JOHN DEAa AMI HIS FATHER-rN-LAW--
Soon after the mes-alliance of Mariana
Petra Nella Boxer with John Dean, the Irish
c~oachman, DIR. Boxer, the great liquor dealer,
and his family disappeared from the public
view. But John Dean has sgain turned up.
He has Just received The appointment of Mar
ker in the New York Custom House-an in
ferior situation which he might easily have
obtained, without the recommendation OF be-
ing the son-in-law of Boxer, the great liquor
dealer.
His wifc's family, wounded in their digni-
ty of wealth by the alliance, retired to Ger
many last sumner, having fortunately sold
out before the panic. Mrs Dean remains
with the object of her choice. 1t would be
100 curious to ask whether her romance OF
life and love has esentuated quite as happily
as she anticipated. Unequal marriages-we
mean where there is educational'a and intel
lectusl inequaiity--very rarely turn out nap
py. Like seeks like. The cultivated mind
c-nnot fully sympathlse with the unculiiva-
ted. Mr.. and Mrs. Dean may be as happy
as the day is long, for q domestic miracle &C
ours sometimes, but as a general rule, a
rough Irish ccachman and fashioRabiy-
b~rougat-up belle, can scarcely be expected
to be perfectly happy in the marriage state,
when the man is only Custom House omar
ker."

the House, The President aud the Supreme
Court. The Democracy had even improved
upon these principles, and was about to de-
clare, in passing the LeconPton Constitutions,
that white men have nc majorities which they
were bound to respect. He controTerted Mr.
Hamnond's assertion that there were more
poor people 10 the North thar in he South,
contending IN the latter, that notwithstand-
ing the large number of its paupers that
were thrown upon the North, the poor peo-
pie Of the South still preponderated. In
support OF this position he quoted the oPln-
ions of Southern writer's, including Mr. Ham
mond himself. He next passed to the con-
sidera,ion of Mr.. Hamrnond's assertion that
the white laborers OF the North were slaves.
He said that the Senator quite mis-
aPprehended the character of the North
ern iaborers. He lHomlin) claimed to be a
iaboring man. He was educated in a print
ing office.
He now toiIed in his fields, e%1rning by the

Tbr Rewarded Thief

A few days after the Toledo demonstration
against Van Ambutgh's mcnogcrie, the rewarded
thief entered the mayors office, when the fol-
lowing coluquy occurred
Boz. Mr.. Mayor, where Is that money whet
belongs to me, that you got from the Snowman ?
MdyOr--i have it, my SON
Bol--Wcll, Mister, want it,
Mayor i fear you cannot cxpend it as judi.
ciously as the circumstances of the case require,
and shall not get you hat, coat, pants, shoes,
aud such other things as you nced2
Bog--I don't waur8bocs sir. I'm oil enough
to wear boots, an want my money. II you don,
give it to me, Squire Morton will put you through
lik lightning.
Ilryor. i guess shall have no difficulty with
Squire Morton, bu, you had better let me buy
you some clothing with this money.
Irhc boy leaves aud is gone an hour or two,
when he returns onl tcnews The conversation
with the mayor
Bog--Mr Mayor want my MONEY aud
must have it,
Mryor--Wcll sir, will see about it, unj
will let you know.

come then, ri raise the devil with you. Re.
member, j il don't come then, MsreH be u split

After ibis emphatic declaration, the boy re-
tired. The impression which hi- manner aud
words lr't on the mayors mind, caused him TO
pull, ont his wallet long before the two hours
expired, and the money was laid upon The table.
When thc boy called again, the mayor merely
pointed to the bills, the boy picked them up,
aud, as he was leaving, remarkcd--
"Noxt time you had better know who you
are dealing with, for the Iish won't stand eve.
