JupcE HoyEy.-A small number Of
our citizens assembled 1T the court
house on last Saturday night to hear
this cormorant after public Office and
treasury pap give some reasons for his
apostacy from Democracy, which has
cherished and exalted him, and given
him all, yea more, honcrs than he
was Justly entitled to, either by his
talents or services in the party. But
our expectation that he would attempt
at least, to give some plausible reason
for his turning against the hand that
fed him, was totally disappointed, and
any disintcrcsted listener must have
5ccn convinced that it is only his great
anxiety for Office, and not principle,
which makes him an independent can
didatc for Congress, against the regu-
lar Democratic nominee. We think
any reasonable man would have been
satisfied with the offices and honors
conferred upon Judge Hovey BY ths
Democracy during his nine years ser
vice with them, without trying to force
himself into q position which the,
have repeatedly shown him was re
served for those they deemed NOR
worthy; but not SO with the Judge

Oar Congressman.

We clip the following from the last
number of the Hamilton Telegraph, and
will Just remark that it meets our appro-
baton. Mr.. Vallandigham is undoubt-
edly the choice of a large majority of
the Democracy of Preb!e, and as the
other two Counties have expressed their
preference for him, let it be understood
that he is the candidate without any
Convention, and next October we will
elect him by a triumphant majority:
The time is near at hand, when the
Democracy Of the Third District, will
again have to select q candidate for
-Congressnan.-Th ey-ar again about
entering upon a campaign which will
be a holly contested one. The battle
will be short but fierce, and it is to the
interest of the Democracy to select a
man as the standard bearer who is able
and willing to labor, and that earnestly,
One possessing the talent which will
enable him to thoroughly canvass the
District, a man who is a thorough-going
Democrat, one who will not finch when
the fire grows hot, nor will think any
labor too severe, when the interest of
the Democratic party and the good of
his country demands it. Such a man
we have in the person of G.. l.. Vallan-
digham, who has gallantly lead the
Democracy in former contests, and is
fully able to again lead them to certain
victory. He has shown himself worthy
of the honor, and the Democracy would
feel proud Of him as their leader. He
is the choice of the Democracy. Let
him her by common consent be the
candidate of the Third District, without
any convention, let the Democracy with
one accord, acknowledge them their
leader, and next October they will have
the pleasure of seeing him elected
Then, for Congressman of the Third
Congressional District of Ohio we name
G. L. Vallandigham, of Dayton.

in a leader congratulates the Govern
mcnt on having taken the advice of the
law officers Of the crown, whose dccid-
ed opinion is that by international law
We have no right of search-no right of
visitation whatever in time of peace
Upon that opinion, Lord Derby and his
colleagues are prepared to act by the
law ofnations. No English cruiser has
the smallest right to interfere with any
ship bearing the flag OF the United
States, save in so far as that right has
been conferred by treaty. They will.
therefore withdraw the ~blockading
squadron from the Cuban waters, and
there is an end of the differences with
the United States upon this disgraceful
subject.

The Republican Creed.

If there is any creed held sacred by
the Black Republican party, it is the
doctrine of the equality of the negro
with the white race. In proof of this
we need only inform our readers that
the House of Representatives in Con-
necticut, by a vote of one hundred and
twelve to ninety-four, has passed a bill
to amend the Constitution of that State
so as to allow negroes to vote. Every
Black Republican voted for it and ev-
cry Democrat against it. An amend
ment was proposed by the same CONT
tee so that it should be required by the
State Convention, that foreigners should
remain in the State twenty-one years
before being allowed to vote. Under
the operation of such a law, the most
filthy, ragged, or ignorant fugitive
slaves will be allowed to vote at once,
while the foreigner, no odds how intel
ligent, must wait his twenty-one years,
The arhie foreigner is DISTINGUISHED
while the negro is caressed and allowed
to become a citizen OF once. The same
thing has been done in Massachusetts
and other New England States. a sim
liar amendment has been proposed to
the Constitution of Ohio. 1t is useless
for Black Republican prints to deny
this as being n Of the fundamental
doctrines of their party. 1t is in faca
the only principle upon which they are
united, and which holds them together
as a party.

KANSAS Election.

The election in Kansas on the propo-
sition to become a State, will come off
next Monday when the great question
as far as Kansas is concerned, will, we
hope, be settled forever.
Persons recently arrived from the
Territory say there is very little feeling
and no excitement on the question there
and the letter writer's corroborates these
statements. This quiet, it is claimed
by many, is the result of a settled con-
viction that the measure will be voted
down by an overwhelming majority
Others attribute a lack of lively inter
est in the approaching contest to the ap-
pathy of the people, who have been SO
long harrassed upon "the Kansas ques-
tion," that they have become indifferent
and care little about how the question is
settled so they can have some peace.
Goth reasons probably compass the
truth in regard to the present feeling
in Kansas. Tired ola bitter, foolish
and protractive squabble, it is natural
that the Intelligent citizens of that terri
tory should demand rest and seek the
leisure necessary to attend to private
Interests, which had suffered from long
neglect. The riotous rabble, who have
little or no interest there, and have "ev-
cry thing to make and nothing to LOSE
NV tho rnipa,,e JisEro oP Al -u:
tory, have from the beginning been
the prime movers in the strife; and it is
but natural that they should struggle
to hold on to their occupation by at
tempting to fan into the blaze the en-
bers of discord. We thank God that
better counsels are prevailing in Kan
sas; and the foolish agitators in the
State would exhibit a c~ommendable de-
gree of common sense by permitting
her people to settle the question of ad-
mittance into the Union without further
intcrmeddling. All the people of Kan
sas now ask of the vindictive men and
crazy fools outside of their border, is to
be ''let alone" They will assume the
management Of the miscreants in their
midst. On next Monday the voters of
Kansas will decide whether they will
come into the Union at once, under a
special permit, or wait until such time
as their population will entitle them to
ask admission into the confederacy of
states with such constitution as they
may elect. That will end the matter
with all contestants.

aeaAt their late Convention at Col
umbus, the Republicans of Ohio refused
by a large majority to endorse the
course of the Republican members of
Congress from that State. The Gin
cinnati Enquirer says that the reason
of this is because they voted for the
Crittenden amendment, which allowed
Kansas to come in as a free or slave
State, as her citizens preferred at a pop
ular election. The Convention of the
Republican party of Ohio takes the
ground that the Crittenden amendment
so much lauded at the time in their
press, was a humbug and a cheat. They
virtually assert that if a majority in
Congress believe slavery ought to be
abolished or authorized it should be pro-
hibited On forced upon the people against
their iRclindtion aHd wtShcS. They say
Congress must gorcrn the Territories, and
not the people trAo lire 4" them. This is
the doctrine of those who repudiate the
principles ofthc C%rittenden amendment.
1t completely annihilates all idea of
popular sovereignty, and makes Con
gross d~espotical in its government ofthe
Territories.
