LAFAYETTE County Local Correspondent.

The Shullsburgh Local, crazy Deine
cratic paper, published at Shullshufgh, il
LAFAYETTE County, by Mr. E. PIcKARD,
at 81 so in advance, sends round lawyer
ling correspondent, vic says he attended
the Grant Circuit Court, and heard Judge
DUNN and Mr.. MILLs, speak on poilyticks
He appears to have terrible hatred to
Lan:asi and all Lancaster men, and
writes very much like one y no hada'l beer
used like OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES found his
talents no better respected abroad than al
home This lavyefling claims acquaintance
with US; at least he claims 10 know many
of our faults and none of our virtues. We
deny his pretensions-naver saw the man
never heard of him before. He may be
acquainted with MILLS, BEACH, EVANS,
JONES and others, and even with ESQ. Ma
HooD-though these gentlemen would hot
acknowledge publicly, that such q thing,
20 void of truth, sense and brains, ever
spoke to them. He speaks also Of Mr.
CLARK as though Mr. CLARK was hisfrend
Then he advertises CLARK, Mills and Co
YER, as firm having such vast power in
old Grant as to work miracles. Calls and
MAHooD, he also aliudes to in t1alterino
terms. Then again, he wants Grant coun-
ty divided, to spite everybody. His whole
rigmarole of scolding is intended TO pro
woke a supposed feeling against the Re
publican candidates, most of whom reside
al Lancaster, because, heretofore elected to
stay 10 their offices at the Court House.
Having served the people well, they have
been re-nonfnated,sand this Y, KOS him
This fellow ought not to run at large as a
Democratic correspondent. He puts Judge
DUNN in an awful attittde-u orse than
the Judge can thank him for. For instance,
he says as follows:
He, Dunn, said that the Republicans
charge, that BY the decision III his case
the Constitution of the United States ca
uternini, carried slavery into the all the
Territory Of the United States. The Dem
ocrats say that the Supreme Court have
not SO decided in the case of bred Scott
The Democrats claim only this, That Til.
Constitution OF the United States recoo
nizes and protects slave property in the
States where it existed at che adoption O
the Constitution"
BucHAsAa, il his letter to the Folts
Clergymen, says, (aluding to the time
that the Nebraska Bill passed. that
"SIavery existed at that period and still
exists in Kansas under The Constisut ion o
the United States. This point has at asl
been finally settled by the highest tribl,
nal known to our laws. How it ever could
have been seriously doubted is mystery
If the Constitution took slavery TO Kan
sas, can The people thereof exclude it! Ne
Democrat nor Judge DUNN pretends they
can-4until TREY apply for admission as &
State. According to the extract from Til
Shulls5ursh blockhea,l's correspond encc,
Slavery exists now, consttu;ienally in all
the old T3 States! He would have
Us believe that Judge Dunn holds such a
doctrine. We know that the Democratic
party intends to hold such doctrine, but
not till after the people swallow the doses
and changes already before them.
P. S.-Since writing the above, we
learn that the Local CORES pondent lid no
hear Dunn and Mills, but was sick in the
ioggery, and unable to- tell Fever river
from the Mississippi His volume Of in
formation was derived from an educated
lunalic Of Lancaster.
A FAST PARTY.-rhe Democratic Par.
ty has had FOUR different doctrines on s1a
very: ;st, the Jeffersonian, " hch secured
Territorial Freedom everywhere; I'd, the
Missouri Comprom Use, which gave Free
dom part, and slavery part; 3d. pop,a-
lar Sovereignty, allowing Settlers TO adj
nit or exclude Slavery, as they please +;
4th, the bred Scott decision, whichestab-
fishes Slavery mall the' Territories as Con
stitusiohal and therefore not to be ezclu
ded by the people. The nextturn will be to
pass All act in congress to protect il in all
Territories. Then will come decision OF
the Supreme Court making slavery Con
stitutional in all the States. What a mig
