New PAPER IN LApoRTE.-In our last
issue, we noticed the fact that the West
vile Herald had been suspended, and that
the establishment was to be taken to La
porte, but for what purpose Wa were not
apprised until we received the Laporte
Union of the 10th, from which we under
stand that through the influence OF some
of the Republicans of that place. Mr.. Pow
ell. has been induce to remove the Herald
from Westville to Laporte and there con-
tinue its publication. To this our old and
clever friend Milligau of tn c Union demurs
in quite a sensible appeal to his old friends
for and with whom he has faithfully labor
ed in the Republican ranks for many years.
But it's family trouble, and we have no
occasion to NEEDLE with it.

If we needed to be convinced of the
rightfuluess Of the democratic doctrine Of
non-interference by Congress with slavery
in State and Territory the fact that the
black republicans of the North, and the
Opposition Of the South are both in favor
of Congressional ELECTROMAGNETIC one
for prohibition and the other for the protec-
ton of slavery in the Territories, would
convince us. Ithas beer tie policy of the
democratic party, since General Jackson
time, to remove the slavery question wholly
from the halls of Congress and it was fully
to accomplish this policy that the doctrine
of the Kansas Nebraska act was establish
ed, in these words: that 1T is the true in
tent and meaning of this act not to legis-
late slavery into any Territory. nor to ex-
clude it therefrom. but to leave the people
thereof perfectly free to form and regulate
their domestic institutions in their own
way, subject only TO the constitution Of the
United States This was the great doctrine
Of the act, and it was formally Incorporate
ed into the Cincinnati platform as the un,
changeahle doctrine Of the democratic par
ty. BY it the whole slavery question was
forever removed from the halls of Congress,
where it cannot be re-introduced in any
shape if the doctrine shall be faithfully ad
hered to. 1t followed the adoption Of the
dactrine that, if any question should arise
in Territory as to whether any action OF
the local legislature was contrary to the
constitution of the United States, such
question should be referred to the compe-
tent courts for adjudication, just as qucs-
tons of the consttutionaIity of State laws
are referred to the State supreme courts,
and questions of the consiitutionality OF
laws of Congress are referred to the Fed
eral supreme court. This, we say, follow
ed the adoption of the doctrine, and the
attitude of the democratic party towards
the slavery question in all its forms was
thus definitely and finally determined.
The contrary doctrine will bring back
the question of slavery to the halls OF
Congress, and keepi it there continually,
to the exclusion of the rightful and neccs-
sary business of the country, alike wheth-
er the doctrine be employed to prohibit or
protect slavery in the Territories; and who
ever embraces this contrary doctrine places
himself out side ofthe democratic party
The doctrine is equally odious whether it
be employed for the one purpose or the
other. II is equally offensive for Congress
to undertake to establish slave code for
the Territories as to establish an abolition
code. In either case it is interference,
and the language of the Cincinnati platform

Chicago and Country Merchants.

The Chicago Times complains that the
New York goods jobbers send out runners
or drummers into most of the country
towns in the west, for the purpose Of sell
ing goods 10 their merchants, when, it con-
tends, that the jobbers in Chicago are en-
titled to their trade. particularly. where it
is done within the range of the Chicago
trade.
Wholesale merchants and jobbers of Chi
cage may very easily remedy this owl by
advertising freely in the contTy newspa-
pers. inviting the country trade to their
city. and when they procure customers in
this or any other way, trade with them upon
such terms as will enable them to retain
such country customers.

The citizens of Rochester are in earnest
about Plank Road from that town to Ply

men here will do well to look to it that the
profitable trade of that rich county is not
drawn from this point.--Loganspot Pha-

AS a timely suggestion. we invite our

before it is too late The trade OF Fulton

tinuation Of the friendly social intercourse

The entire south part Of Marshall coun

deeply interested, and should be on thu
lookout for the benefits a plank road t.

tineuished Tennessee editor There have
been Democratic politicians here from Mis-

from them-and they conversed freely on

the first reading of our exchanges-it is
what we get them for-and afterwards we

any new item which is excitingly interest

particulars are handed from hand to hand

every body had become familiar with them,

The Recent Elections.

The result of the elections lately held In
kentucky. Tennessee and Texas. SO clear
ly show the fallacy and weakness of the
war cry of abolitionism, that we canno! for
bear making mention of it for the encour-
agement of our Democratic friends. In
those states thier political contests were
had almost exclusively upon the questions
of non-intervention and popular sovereign
ty. The glorious prospect of Kansas COM
ing into the Union under such wholesome
and we'll advised principles, rendered the
prospects of the Democracy in those States
brighter and brighter every day until the
election, and finally crowned its advocates
with we'll deserved triumph.
Some of the fanatics in the South desir-
ed Congressional interference for the pro-
lection of slavery in the Territories Just
as some fanatics in the north desire it to
prohibit it, and even to abolish it IN the
States if they thought such position
tenable But, in the South-that miser-
able harbor for the cnslaved bodies and
souls of men women and children, (as
some pretend to believe it, even there the
popular voice is still in favor of allowing
the people to settle their own matters in
their own way.
The triumphant success of the Democ-
racy in those States so effectually gives
the lie to abolition assertions--that the De-
mocracy of the North are sold, stock lock
and barrel to the Slave holding South, that
any one of ordinary charity might suppose
they would never alude to it again.
Thus we see two over-excited and ambi-
tious factions-both on ex.remes--the fana-
ties of the South and those of the North;
whilst there is great conservative centre,in
which is inseparably organized the un-
fiinchipg and unterrifed Democracy of
the country which seems to be moving
along in the even tenure of its way, carry
ing all before it. 1t recognizes that kind
of moderation and forbearance which alone
can keep the States as unit. and success
fully perpetuate the wholesome institu-
tons of the country in their original puri-
ty. 1t moves along unmindful of the
and snarlings of abolitionism on
the one band and slavery popagandism on
the other, and whilst these factions charge
opposite to each other--the
one that the Democracy Is sold to the
North and the other that it is sold 10 the
it is still triumphant. So may
1t ever be.

Mr.. A. w. Pell, formerly agent for North's

aud to be making arrangements for more
numerous company of performers to give
daily exhibitions during the approaching
National Fair.
There are two ways that shows and other
exhibitions can't get along in this country,
which are to treat the press contemptuous-
ly, or literally patronize and then swindle
it out of its printing bills.
