Mr.. Schleich introduced resolution, which

| terms of the contracts have been required to be
done by the contractors, had the contracts for
the repairs of the Canals been still in existence;
how much in addition that was necessarily ex-
pended, and which would not have fallen within

Democratic Family Quarrels.

The Democrats in the Senate devoted sCmi
seven hours to family quarrels on the Esd. The
Kansas ghost re-appeared, and the Republicans
let it stalk among the Democratic leaders with
out any attempt to lay it. During the debate,
Messrs. Brown and Davis of Miss, Clay of Ala,
Hunter of Va, Green of No, and Benjamin of
La, gave notice to the Douglasites and the
country that they not only repudiAte the Squat
ter Sovereignty platform with which they gull
ed the voters and elected Buchanan, but that
they shall in future deny the right of the Terri
tories to legislate Slavery out of their limits, and
demand Congressional Intervention to keep It
there. According TO the Tribunes correspon-
dent they have constructed the following new
plank in the Democratic platform-that under
the Constitution and Dred Scott decision, prop
erty in slaves in the Territories must have
adequate and positive protection by Con-
gress, if such protection is denied by Terrific
rial legislation, either through non-action OF
unfriendly action. As to the States, only the
right OF recIaiming fugitive slaves and the right
Of transit are claimed at present.
Messrs Douglas, Frederick, Stuart and Pugh
repudiated the doctrine. Mr.. Douglas declared
that no party embracing the new test could car
nv a single State north of Mason and Dixon's
line. Mr.. Mason and Mr.. Davis informed Mr..
Douglas that no man with his Squatter SOveI-
eipnty platform could obtain eithersn electoral
or any other vote south of that line. Sharp
passages occurred between Douglas and Davis,
and the debate shows q wide breach between
the two wings of the party in regard to Sla-
very.
The Washington Star, Buchanan and pro-
slavery, referring to this debate which sprung
10 on Mr. Hale's motion to strike out the re-
s.riction as to the admission of Kansas, in the
English bill, significantly says:
Mr. Douglas, in the course of it, formally an
nounced his separation from the Democratic
party, if that party refuses to accept as correct
his doctrine that Territorial Legislatures may
constitutionally and lawfully legisiate to ex-
clu se slavery from the U. 5. Territories, and
TT it is not the right and duty OF Congress to
interfere to protect the constitutional nghts oi
shareholders against such Territorial legisls-
ton.
The only Senator in addition to those pre-
viously known TO hold TO this ultimatum which
Mr.. Douglas has seen fit to announce who
ayowed his support of it, was Mr.. Pugh, who,
since the opening of the session, seems, by his
course in the chamber, to have been preparing
to leave the Democratic party for a third party,
which it is Mr. Douglas purpose to head.
HIS secession was therefore anticipated, and
has of course surprised no one.

The Next AudisOr Of state.

Inasmuch as Mr.. WRIGHT, the present State
Auditor, declines reelection, the Republicans
very properly are beginning to cast about for q
suitable man to put in his place. This ofhce'
like most of the State offices, is unremunera-
tive, the salary being barely sufficient to sup
port family in the Capital City, but is never
theless one of great Importance and response
biIity, and no man should be named for it who
does not possess unquestionable qualifications,
and an irreprOachable character for integrity
Among the most prominent candidates for
the Republican nomination is EPHRAIM A. COLE
STOCK, Esq of Columbiana county. Mr.. c. is
Just now closing his second term as Auditor OF
that county, and in addition to well earned
popularity at home, he is understood to have
strong and influential friends in almost every
section of the State. Mr. CoLEsTOcK was ap-
pointed, without solicitation, special examiner
of the State Treasury uuder the law of last
winter, and his report, which has been made to
the Governor and will soon be published, will
bring him favorably, and still more prominent
ly, before the people of Ohio. The Eastern
part of the State is certainly entitled to place
on the ticket, and from what we know and hear
of Mr.. c. there can be no question as to his su-
perior qualifications and fitness for the position
named.
The Cadiz Republican suggests the name OF
s. B. sHoTwELL, Esq, of Harrison county, for
the important and responsible office of Auditor
of State, and says-'eThat Mr.. SHOTwELL pos
sesses the necessary qualifications to fill the Of
fee, no one acquainted with him will doubt TOR
a moment. As lawyer he occupies an envia-
BILE position; as fnancIer, he has few suPe-
rors, if any. in this part of the State. In short,
we believe he possesses, in very high degree,
the necessary qualifications for the Office"
