rae Democratic Nomination.


The Topeka Democratic Convention, was
well attended, there being ninety three dele
gates present. representing all the organized
counties of the Territory. with the excep-
lions Of Breckenridge. Madison. Chase,
Butler, Hunter. Brown. Eemaha, Dicker-
son and Arapahoe. Elk Gov. Wilson Shan
NON was chosen permanent President
This was the first significant step that in
dicated the relentless pro-slavery and Bor-
der Rufian character of the Convention.
The vote for Delegate, was taken piva
voce On the fourth trial the vote stood as
follows: S. w. johnson At; j. A. Hal
derman. OF; A. G. Davis. 49, Johnson
having majority of all the votes cast was,
on motion, declared unanimously nominated.
There was considerable enthusiasm mani
tested at the result, and on Judge John
sons appearing on the stand he was greet
ed with three rousing cheers. He made a
braggart speech. threatening the Republi-
cans with scalping. de-, and promising the
Democracy triumph in November. Il
was amusing TO see the greenies .'suck ii. .
Halderman made speech of the same tenor.
and said that next fall the Democrats would
s'drive the Black Republicans into the hole,
and then drive the hole in after them. -
Such chit could not fail TO raise Demo
cratic .thunder," and it was greeted with
cheers and noise generally. Lec
v. H. IL L l.. !
to hear the report of the Committee on Res
buttons. The first resolution contained a
distinct and unequivocal Endorsement of
Popular Sovereignty" The others were
devoted to matchmaking the Wyandott
Constitution, and the two years amendment
to the Massachusetts Constitution. The
Popular sovereignty" resolution came
fist under consideration and it was igno-
miniousiy thrust under the table, and an
endorsement of the Tecumseh platform ad-
opted in its stead. Poor abused Popular
Sovereignty, had scarce defender in the
whole Convention, while Shannon, Perkins,
and others Numbered indignantly againt H.
Of course it went down. The Kansas De-
mocracy never intended to acknowledge the
right of the people of Territory to abol
ish slavery. They are too well ground in
to the faith of Saint Buchanan to admit
such a heresy into their platform. So it
was ''squelched.' Two other resolutions
denunciatory of the Wyandott Constitution
and the position assumed by the people of
Massachusetts on the naturalization ques-
ton. were then passed. and. after speeches
from Mcdowell of Leavenworth and others,
the Convention adjourned sine die.

Foundry and Machine Shop.

While at Leavenworth recently, looking
around among her institutions, we stepped
into the new Foundry and Machine shop OF
Maison, Wilson & Co, on Choctaw street,
and were shown over the establishment BIZ
the gentlemanly, proprietors. 1t is one of
the largest Foundries in the western coun-
try, and the work turned out is fully equal
to work done in the Eastern cities. Among
other things that attracted our attention was
the new steam engine manufactured by
these gentlenen--the first ever made in the
Territory. We saw it in operation and
must say it works admirably. One of the
reasons why persons in the interior
should buy this engine is that it weighs one
thousand pounds less than the old fashioned
engines of the same power, We also no
ticed that they were manufacturing a supe-
rior machine for crushing the Chinese sug-
ar cane. Il any person or persons in this
section intend buyinga sugar mill this fall
we advise them to give this establishment
a call. One of the members of the firm
Mr. Phillip Estes--is practical machinist,
for several years the sole manager of the
Piasa Foundry, of Johnson & Emerson.
Alton. H., and is well known all over the
West.
Maison, Wilson d Co., manufacture and
repair all kinds of steam engines, sugar,
saw and grist mills, sheet iron and copper
work, and we take pleasure in recommend
ing them to the public.

"More African Stock y,

Such is the cry that now swels uopn
every breeze that comes up to us from the
Sunny South. With more African stock
they would have been victors in Kan
sas. For the want Of more African stock
they were vauquished. It is impossible to
make more Slave States without more Slaves!
Hence they demand the re-opening of the
African Slave Trade, and the repeal of all
laws forbidding it. They refuse to enforce
the laws against Slave Trades though the
proofs are as plain as the sun at noon-day.
Cargo after cargo of negroes direct from
Africa are now being landed on the South
ern Coast to swell the black tide of human
misery and degradation. The New York
Herald even declares that to be the case, and
from facts derived from most reliable sour
ces of information asserts that not less than
sirty corgoes of Slaves have been landed
and sold in the South within the last three
years. and that twelve more ships freighted
with grooming and suffering human beings
were daily expected to discharge theer car
goes upon our shores What is the pres
Administration doing to prevent it ? Noth>
ing. emphatically nothing!
The whole force of the army and navy
were put in requisition to capture and re-
turn one poor runaway negro from Boston
to the house of bondage. The whole pow
err of the Government was used to fine and
imprison the men OF Oberlin who assisted
man illegally arrested to escape from his
captors and regain his freedom. The strong
arm of power and the giistening bayonets
and sabres of infantry and dragons were
used to crush the people of Kansas under
the heel of Missouri invaders And for
all this the ready reason is--s'the laws must
be enforced - I'VE are sacorn TO enforce
the laacs." But when those laws interfere
with the expressed determination of the
South to acquire ''more African stock they
become dead letter. and scarcely pre-.
tence is made of attempting to enforce
them. The reason IS too obvious to escape
the blindest. The Administration owes its
existence to the Democratic party, whose
head and body is in the South while only
the tail of the monster extends into the
North and the feet of millions of Freemen
are grinding it into the dust. Bat as Mr..
PARRoTr. in his speech at Lawrence truly
said Democracy is Slavery and Havery is
Democracy" Hence when the South speaks
for Slavery and demands more african
stock" the submissive minions of Democ-
racy answer in the approved formula of the
Mussulman--.'t ito hear is TO obey

The Democratic Convention

The Democratic Convention which as
sembled at Topeka on Wednesday last. the
18th inst, put in nomination. s.. ". John
son, of Leas enworth City. as their candidate
for Delegate to Congress in opposition to
Mr.. Parrot.
Mr.. johnson is man about thirty five
years of age, a native of Kentucky. and
came to Kansas in 1855, as one of Pierce s
Judges, but was shortly after removed on
the charge of specializing in half breed
Kaw land. He is Buchanan Democrat OF
the strictest seet-Kansas policy. Dred
Scott Decision and ALL His nomination
was a triumph of the old Border Rufian
men of the Democracy in fact con-
trolled the whole thing. They knocked
popular sovereignty" higher than a
kite
Judge Johnson is. perhaps the most tai
ented and fluent speaker the Kansas Democ-
raey can boast of. He will stump the Ter
ritory in company with Mr.. PARROT, and
between them the political issues now divi-
ding the people of Kansas and the whole
country will doubtless beably discussed.
In Judge johnson Mr.. Parrott has a
''foeman worthy his steel" The battle is
between Republicanism and Democracy,
fair and square. There can be no lodging
or equivoeation-no cry of Free State to
add new distractions to the canvass.
We do not in the least fear the result
We know that the Democrats will make a
hard fght-that they will fight as men do
whose very existence is at stake. But Re-
publican principles are go firmly ''ground
into" the great mass Of the people of Kan
sas, that they will not forsake them at a time
when their devotion and effect is most need
ed. A triumph for Republieanism in No
vember next is sure.

Interesting from the Mines

We had a visit, yesterday, says the Leav-
enworth Times of the 18th inst, from Mr.
H. Bales. who has but just arrived from the
mines. Mr. B. is an exceedingly pleasant
and intelligent gentleman in whom the most
implicit confidence can be placed. He i-
originally from New York, (near Utica)
and has spent seven years in California
He has been in the Kansas mines about
seven months. and could easily have obtain
ed $4,000 for his interests. Mr.. Bates
had specimens with him of the gold that
had been obtained. These specimens We re
worth about $500.
He reports continued discoveries of new
leads. and pronounees the region the rich
est in the world, and there is gold
enough there to make the whole country
rich.
Miners are making $50 to 500 day
to the man, all through the new region,
which extends over an area of fifty miles
square.
Rich quarts has been taken out at the
depth Of fifty feet and there is no end to
the extent or productiveness of the precious
metal
Mr.. Bates reports that the mountain fe-
yer was prevailing to some extent in the
in the locality adjacent To his claim.
We would be almost afraid to give the
truh conce rning the mines as it would ex-
cite distrnst. In fact the truth seems al
most too good to be true $3.50
Mr.. Bates informs Us that the miners are
afraid to ship their dust. and says that if
any express line or banking house possess
ed their confidence the gold would come in
to Laavenworth by the hundred thousand.
Mr.. Bates came in with S,muel Leonard
and Frank Edwards. They brought in some
fifteen poands of gold. 1t is their intention
To purchase some steam quarz crushing ma
chimes and return as soon as possible.
Mr.. Bates thinks the gold region, in its
halfexpiored condition. is capable of sup
porting population of 5O0. 1000. and be-
lieves The developments of the next three
months will startle the world.
We cannot but congratulate the country
at large on this gratifying intelligence. The
building up of a great and prosperous State
it the base of the Rocky Mountains will not
only conduce to the prosperity of Kansas
but enlarge the welfare and well being of
the whole Union.

The election in the new State of Oregon
came off on the eth of June, and We learn
from letter published in the Missouri

ready expired. and Lanes expiring in 1861
We have no returns showing the politic-
al character of the Legislature. but from
the fact that Iane and Smith identified their
cause with that of Stout, re indulge the
hope that tley have shared his overthrow.
At any rate the Republicans of Oregon
have made an suspicious beginning. and
given an impulse to the Republican ball

Death of Horace Mann.


Horace Mann died at Yellow Springs,
Ohio, on the 81 inst. In his death says the
n. Y. Tribune. one of the greatest, best and
ablest men of the country has passed away
He was born in Massachusetts about 1896
was a graduate of Brown University, and
if we are not mistaken, was bred to the law,
and was afterwards teacher About 1910
he was chosen by the Government of Mas
sachusetts to fill the newly created Office OF
Superintendent of Public Instruction, and
in that capacity earned for himself most
honorable reputation. The high character
of the schools of Massachusetts, at the pres
ent day is, in a great measure, due to the
comprehensive spirit, the weariless indus
try, and the eloquence which he brought to
the discharge of his duties. In 1847, he
was elected to Congress from tie 81 Dis
trict of Massachusetts, which chose him to
occup. the seat just before filed by john
Quincy Adams. OF that eminent champi-
on of Freedom Mr.. Mann was no unworthy
successor. He left Congress to take charge
of the Antioch College as President. and
died at his post.
