Mr.. j. b. Dorr, editor Of the Dubu.
que Express and Herald, attended the
discussion between Messrs. Vsndeyer
aud LeffingweIl at this place on Friday
last. Mr.. Vandcver, in his closing
speech, read an editorial from the Ec.
press aud Herald of Dec. 1855, (then
under the control of u. 4. Mahony,) to
prove that the Democracy had changed
ground upon the question Of the power
of Congress to legislate for the Terrific
rics. The extract was pointed, and ex-
pressly declared that Congress had the
sole aud exclusive control Of territory
while it remained so. Mr.. Y. argued
that as Mr.. Mahony was still prominent
Democrat, having since that time been
elected a member of the Legislature, and
was at this time of like views with the
present conductors of that paper, that
the party had changed front, aud that
what was then considered Democratic
was now denounced as not sound doe
trine, and vas inconsistent with the Gin
einnati Platform.
Mr.. Dorr at this point interrupted
Mr. Nandever, aud asked him if the ar
ticle was not written snd published pre-
rioas to the meeting Of the Cincinnati
Convention. "True," replied Mr.. Van
dever, instantly, ''but do you claim that
your party changed its principles when
it made that Platform The hi. was so
palpable that the audience roared, inclu-
ding Mr. Dorr himself, he asked no
more questions at that meeting. We
expect the next Express d; Herald will
contain an account of Mr.. Leftingwelf $
great triumph at Marion. but doubt very
much whether it will allude to this side
scene, in which the editor got 50 c,yln
pletely hoored, and which Was not prom

Mrs. H. gave US thrilling outline Of
her recent experiences in Kansas, with
two helpless children. She stood by the
grave Of her little Mary, aad saw tho
flames devour her beautiful home neat;
they did not spare one loved or lovely
thing. The dear little crib and toys, that
seemed part Of little Mary, we're a l
gone. Mr.. Ii. had fed 10 an adjoining
town, in order to preserve his life to bis
family. One wild moment she vacilla-
ted whether to rush into the flames with
her little ones, impelled by true martyr
spirit, or to mount horse just then ri
darless. and appeal to the army of six
hundred border rufllaus in behalf Of her
family, aud the suffering thousands of
mea and women, victims like herself to
outrage aud terror, Gods angel stayed

in sight, with = wagon ready to convey
her to Lawrence for protection. A cabin
which adm tilted the sun and rain al titi'-
tum, whose aoorless bottom was covered
with prairie hay, was their lodge there
after, and baked squashes their ouly va
riety for the table for many days. Pre-
vionsly to this, before Mr.. H. had fed
for safety, Que quiet Sabbath day, party
of twenty border rufiians surrounded the
cottage, and the captain insolently de
manded a dinner, at the same time
brandishing his sword in the face Of Mrs.
III. Not in the least intimidatcd, she
inquired if thoy were authorized to dis

In the meantime she stirred up her grid

Interesaing Legal Ppcoedings-Ann GOd.
dard VS.. Mary Goddard.

One Of tie most remarkable and in
tcnsely interesting cases ever brought be-
fore court Of justice was tried and dis
posed Of in our Circuit Court last week.
The plaintiff, Ann Goddard, was a hand
some young women, about twenty-one
years of age, perfectly white, with long,
luxuriant, and straight hair, graceful and
easy in manners, and having all the ap-
pearance of an accomplished and well
raised lady, Her features bore the high
est marks of European perfection, and
there was not the slightest indication of
African blood in her veins
She brought suit for her freedom, alleg-
ing that she had been forcibly arrested by
the officers, and lodged in the negro Jail
of the late James Mcmillan, under the
claim of the defendant, Mary Goddard,
that she was her slave, "when in truth
she was free white women"
The suit was brought nearly two years
ago by Hon. r. III. Stanton, and prosecu
ted by him, with the assistance of Hon.
w. II. Wadsworth and Judge J. d. Tay-
lor, and defended by Hon. II. Taylor and
T. c. Cambell, Esq When the jury was
sworn, the only testimony relied on by
the plaintiff was the exhibition of her
own person for their inspection, her
counsel claiming that her appearance
was prina tacie evidence of her freedom;
and the presumption thus being raised,
of course the burden of proof rested upon
the defendant to establish her slave.
An attempt was then made by the defend
ant to prove her the daughter of mulatto
named Matilda, by whom the plaintiff had
been reared from infancy; but in this they
did not succeed, as no witness was intro
dueed who was present at the birth OF
the child.
The case was ably argued on both sides,
and much feeling was manifested in the
community on behalf of the plaintiff
When the jury brought in their verdict
to the effect that she was free uhi.c
pomen," the judge was compelled to ad.
dress the audience upon the impropriety
Of any demonstration of applause in ;
court of justice, in order to keep down Z
universal impulse TO show the satisfaction
given by the result.
| [If the proof had been sufficient tha
the plaintiff was the daughter Of tn
"m'aaao named -Uatttaa," the plaintiff
would have been adjudged slave. n,

Caution 10 Cc,sceited Young Men.

4 young medical student from Mich
igan, who had been attending lectures in
this city for some months past, and co.,
sidered himself exceedingly good looking,
knowing and fascinating, made dead on
set on the heart and fortune OF bloom
ing young lady who was boarding in Tho
same house with him. They were mar
ried on "Wednesday morning. The same
afternoon the "young wife" sent for and
exhibited to the astonishea student,
"bcautiful little daughter" three and
half years of age.
"Good heavens tEen you are wild
own - exclaimed the astonished young
man.
"Yes my dear, and this is Amelia M
youngest. Tomorrow Augustus, james
and Reuben viii arrive from the country,
aud then / shall have my darlings togeth-
er once more.
The unhappy youth replied not word.
His feelings were too deep for utterance.
The next day the 'other darlings' arrived.
Reuben was six years old, James, nine,
and Augustus a saucy boy Of twelve
They were delighted TO hear that they
had "new papa" because they could noe
lice at home, and haze all the piaytttngs
they tcanted' The new papa, as soon ss
he could speak, remarked that Augustus
and James did not resemble Reuben and
Amelia.
"Well, no." said the happy mother,
my first husband was quite different man
from my second-comp!exion, tempera-
ment, color of hair and eyes, all differ
ent"
This was to much. He had not only
married widow, but he was her third
husband, and the astonished step-father
of four children. "But the fortune"
thought he, will make amends. He spoke
Of her fortune.

the Roman matron style, pointing TO her
