Douglas Reviewed.

We invite the attention of our read
ers to the able and conclusive review
of Senator Douglas late essay in Har-
per's Magazine, which we publish on
the first page of this issue. 1t will well
repay careful perusal Whoever will
read it carefully through, will be pre-
pared to place a proper estimate upon
that lamest, shallowest and most in
conclusive of all of Mr.. Douglas
efforts. 1t will be seen that each wit
ness introduced by MIR. Douglas to
sustain his position, really puts his
whole argument and theory to route,
and that his dogma of squatter sover-
eighty is left without anything to stand
on; that all our history is against it,
and that even Mr.. Douglass arguments,
when his facts are corrected, are over
whcllningly against it also. The article
was prepared for the Chicago Press d.
Tribune, by one Of the most eminent
jurists Of Illinois, Hon. Archibald Will
liams, of Quincy.

The Glorious Democracy In Convention.
The great united Democracy of New
York State, met in Convention at Sy-
racuse, on Wednesday of last week,
for the purpose of nominating State
ticket and appointing Delegates to the
Charleston Convention. Two sets of
delegates-hards and softs- claimed
seats in the Convention. Both factions
met in the same hall, and both proceed
ed to organize. Peter Cagger nomi-
mated John Stryker Hard Chairman ;
motion declared carried, amid the greaa-
esot onfusion. Mr.. Stryker got up
on the platform and attempted to call
the Convention to order, when a scene
ensued that beggars all description.
Yells, oaths and knockdowns was the
order, during which the Chairman wss
knocked off the platform by "Soft y

ner," by knocking the Hard boy down;
the Hards then get possession of 6oM
sides of the hall and organize. Coch.
rane attempted to speak, but was
booted down. Cagger again made
motion nominating Mr.. Stryker
which was seconed" by a Wood
man knocking the mover down, when
the Convention was declared adjourned
by Mr.. Stryker, and the Wood men
were left in possession of the hall. The
following ticket was then nominated:
Secretary of Stated. r. F. Jones.
Controller-Sanford E. Church.
Attorney General-Lyman Tremain.
State Engineer-V. r. Richmond.
Canal Commissioner-Wm. b. Skin
ner.
Judge of Court of Appeals-Alex.
S. Johnson.
Clerk of Court of Appeals-Edward
Simpson.
State Prison Inspector-Noble S.
Elderkin.
The Soft Convention met the next
day and nominated this ticket with the
single exception of Simpson. Thus ii
will be seen that the Wood men not
only got the start of the Soft faction
in the organization, but also compelled
them to swallow the pill which Wood
had prepared for them.

A True Prophet.

John Randolph, the sarcastic and
outspoken Virginian, had in his minds
eye the Doughfaces of the North when
he said in the debate on the Missouri
question in Congress, the following:
a"We do not'govern them 1.-THE people
of the North( 6y our black szaves, 6ut
Jy their oac,s aohite ones. We knoac
sohat zoe are doing. We of the South
are always united from the Ohio to
Florida; and we can always mite, but
YOU of the North are beginning to di-
vide. We haze conquered s'ou once
and zoe can and sciH conquer goa.
again. Aye, Sir, zee sciU dsive you to
tao scaH, and when we have you again,
we are bound to keep you there and
nail You down like base money"
This was uttered more than thirty
years ago by one of Virginia's great
est orators, who with prophetic eye
saw the enlargement and expansion OF
the slave oIigarchy and its influence.
Has this argus-eyed slaveholding mon
ster been caught asleep ever since this
speech was made? Has it betrayed
itself? Has it lost sight of its great
and absorbing object Has it eleva
ted to power traitor to its interests
No! MOI as John Randolph said on
another occasion, they could have said
:" We know what we are about we
know our man, and we are content tc
bide our time.

The display of Fruits was good
though not as large as we expected to
see. We were favored with being per-
mitted to taste in this department, and
have memoranda somewhere of very
fine specimens of Plums, Grapes and
Apples which may be of interest to
our readers at some other time.
Among the many beautiful things we
saw was some splendid Diamond Jew
elry with which we would like to adorn
our "better half" For moment we
regretted that we were poor Printer
but found consolation in the reflection
that " Virtue is its own reward.
The Fair taken as whole was de-
cided success. The Cash receipts were
upwards of 100000. Flora Tenn
pie and Princess who were entered for
the Citizens purse of 81 100000 were
not allowed to compete as their owners
would not comply with the regulations.
This premium was received by "Ike
Cook, b. g., Chicago, Time 2.ss. Had
both these horses been on the course
the contest would have been closer and
consequently more interesting.
The mass of people on the grounds
and going and coming was not the least
interesting of the sights during the
week. As many as 10000 persons
were on the grounds Thursday, and
most individuals will remember it as
the largest concourse they ever beheld.
AS we review the scenes of the week
and reflect upon the stores of informa-
ton acquired by those who visited the
Fair we cannot but think that the oc-
casion was an useful one and that the
United States Agricultural Society is
deserving of the honor of every citizen
but more especially every agriculturist.

S1R:-The act passed by the Legisla-
ture of this State At its last session, enti.
tied {" An act to establish graded ana
high schools" has some features that
need examin alton by the citizens before
the annual school meetings take place.

Union School Districts as do not or

sums of money by rate-bill, to draw
any money from the Township Treasu-
nv, or any of those acts which Union

The statute is imperotive it leaves no,

Sc Give US Your Bone, Old Fellows

The Detroit Weekley 44dvertiser en-
tered upon its thirty first volume on
Tuesday last From an article on the
subject we learn that 1T was estab-
lished in September, 1929, as a joint
stock enterprise, by an association of
gentlemen composed of the friends of
JOIN QUINCY ADAMS. It's editor for
the first year was the late Mai. John
Roland. He was succeeded by a gen.
tlelnan from the east, who retained the
editorial management until the paper
was purchased by George L. Whitney,
now of Canandaigua, by whom the
Daily -1duertiser was established. De-
troit had population Of only 1920,
and that of the territory of Michigan
was less than thirty-two thousand, or
less than half as large as the city of De-
troit at this time. There was not a
railroad in the territory, of course,
neither plank road nor turnpike, nor
any regular means of communication
with the East The mail facilities were
such as were afforded by an occasional
arrival of boats, and sometimes the
people were for weeks, in the winter,
without any news from other portions
of the world. Indeed, it is scarcely
ten years since the mail facilities of
Detroit were such as to ensure its in
habitants a mail even every week with
out interruption in the winter.
The advertiser has witnessed all this,
and has never been unmindful of its
mission-except in the single year Of
1854, when it acted rather one-sided IN
a political point of view. Its present
management-editorial by ]. Warren,
business by Z. Morley-is able, and we
are glad to learn that it is receiving a
fair reward for its labors.--Battle Creek
Journal.

against one of these robbers, who had
succeeded in getting nearly all her

money. He had agreed with her to
go South-represented himself as a

" Decidedly Cool.~


Ed. REAUBLIcAN-SIR: In copy
of the Niles Enquirer of the 18th inst,
j find the following, which is an ex-
tract from an article in your paper of
the sth inst, and the Lnquirer's re-
marks thereon; which, from their utter
absurdity and yoidness OF trath needs
few words of explanation and facts:
Decidedly Cool.
Speaking of the recovery OF the
team recently stolen from Messrs, Gard
ner of Dowagiac, Cass Co., the Repu6-
lican says:
"In the pursuit and capture of the
stolen property and thief, Messrs. Gard
ner and Taylor exhibited an extraor-
binary degree of shrewdness, energy
and perseverance,, proving themselves
excellently keen on cold track. Who
ever wants stolen property recovered or
a felon caught, will do well to employ
them to find and follow the trail. ;"
When the fact is known that Moses
A. Powell, the efficient Under Sheriff
of this County, and the man who
tracked up the thief, caused his arrest
and the detention of the property at
La Fayette, Ind, and that the first in
timation MIR. Taylor had of the where
abouts of the property he pumped out
of the telegraph agents In this City,
after the thief was arrested and i'm
prisoned. We think the public will
agree with us in saying that the claim
of superior ability, attributed to the
Cass County officers, is entirely out OF
place. The fact is-and we have the
evidence of it now in our possession
all the honor of this arrest belongs to
Mr.. Powell, who is by right entitled
to the ransom offered for the recovery
of the property, and but for the leakage
of the telegraph operator in this City,
the Dowagiac, officers would have
known nothing of the arrest of the
party until his return to the State. Fair
play is jewel to which all are heirs,
and all should enjoy the benefit there
of.
Now the facts of the case>are simply
these:
lst. The property was not obtained
at Lafayette; Ind.," neither was there
any portion of it ever there until after
Messrs. Taylor and Garduer had re-
covered it at Indianapolis and vicinity,
where it had been sold at auction and
distributed in as many different direc-
tons as there were pieces of the proper
ty.
2d. The thief was not ARRESTED and
imprisoned " at Lafayette, by the "eff-
cient Under Sheriff" of Berrien Co.,
neither was he " arrested and impris-
oned I" there by any one, but seas ar
rested by Messrs. Taylor & Gardner,
near the Tippecanoe Battle Ground,
on the 2sth of August, ult.
81. Moses A. Powell probably necer
sac the prisoner IN has life, and certain
ly never left his own County in search
of him, Notwithstanding the ''evidence"
in the possession of the Inquirer shat
all the honor of this arrest belongs tc
Mr.. Powell"
4th. The Telegraph Operators at
Niles are Entirely free fro n my leak
age" as claimed by the vivid magma
ton of the editor of the Inquirer, and
the efficient Under Sheriff. who have
1
wilfully slandered them mere for ma
terial whereby to manufacture proofs
of their own " efficiency" and shrewd-
ness.
Verify, fair play is jewel" and
so is consistency-in both of which
commodities the editor of the Inquirer
seems to be wofully deficient.
