Es- The English Eccompton organ in
this place is seriously exercised about the
extravaganza and corruption of the city Of
ficerS in Chicago. Its Objects to divert
public attention from the extravaganza Of
its own party in this county but that game
will hardly win. The people of Chicago,
if the Republican party have squandere,l
the public funds will overthrow them, and
the people Of Marshall will do likewise
with the party that hold sway here at pre-
sent The decree has gone forth. The
people will not sustain party that have
shown such an utter disregard OF the pub
lie interest, and squandered their money
in the manner that party has in this coun-
ty. Many prominent Democrats have adj
mitted within month past that the pub
lfc interest requires change of admins
tration. They have borne with the mis-
management and profigacy of their party
officials until forbcarance has ceased to be
a virtue. j.
The Democrat may knaw this bone If II
likes, aud save itself the trouble Of going
abroad for one. When it gets through we
have several more of the same kind to
throw it.

Fr The Lecompton sheet in this plac

r. The Lecompton sheet in this place
Published an extract last week which as
serts that slavery in America is the crca-
ture of the English common law; that il
is vital error to suppose that slavery in
the south was established by positi"e le-
gislation; that slavery existed in England
as lar back as the days of Queen Elizabeth,
vino had slaves, and that our ancestors
brought the laws and institutions of Eng
land TO this continent as their brthright.
Of course the Democrat endorses this view
OF the subject, or the article would not have
been copied. The object Of the argument
is TO bolster mp and justify the bred Scott
decision, which claims that slavery is pro-
tccted by the U. S. Constitution in all the
Territories as well as States of the Union,
in opposition TO the views Of that greatest
of American statesmen, Henry Clay, who
held that slavery could exist no where except
by force of statute law, or constitutional
provision Of a State. The pro-slavery ten
dency OF Shamocracy is developing itself
daily. We are glad to see them show
the clovcn foot.

English were under command of a msrIrre,
who drew them up in line, with their
backs to the houses facing the bay, between
Mr.. Green's and Mclville's stables. The
Russians were drawn mp in a line on the
opposite side. along the edge of the bank
which leads down to the beach. The Eng
lish provided themselves with the legs of
tables, chairs and sticks; and seeing the
Russians gathering stones, they set one of
their men to work with crowbar, who
tore up the stones from the street, and
placed them in heap. Near where the
Russians formed, there was lot of hand
spikes and pieces of wood, which they pos

The Senatorial Case.

"I'he leader in the last Laporte Times, in
regard to the confirmation of Bright and
Fitch belabors Senator Weir, of Laporte
County roundly, for attending the preten-
ded joint convention which elected those
gentlemen, and asserts that they would not
have been confirmed had it not been pro-
ven that majority of the Senators were
present in the convention"
So says one of our exchanges, but we
do not remember what one. 1t is not inn
portant, however, as we read the article Of
the Times alluded to. and can bear witness
that this statement Of its substance is cor.
ret. Wepropos, to pres mt a suggestion OF
two on the point made by the Times. In
the first place the confirmation of Bright
and Fitch was not hinged upon. and no
where was asserted to be affected by, tho
fact that majority Of Senate was present
at the election. We read the whole de-
bate on the question, at every stage from
the first presentation Of the really forged
certificate, to the acceptance of it by the
U. ). Senate. and we never saw any asgu-
mcnt on behalf of the swindlers that was
based on the assumption that majority
OF our senate was present. Mr.. Benjamin,
OF Louisiana, intimated that his opinion
might be influenced by the establishment
or reIutation of this allegation, but as he
voted for the confirmation. and it was pro-
ven by the records of the Senate that q
majority was not present. we are com.
PEELED to believe that his opinion was gui
dcd by other considerations than those h
mentioned The ground really taken. ant
