A MOST VALUABLE PUBLICATION.

We have received from the publishers
Messrs. G. & c. Merriam, through G. NJ. West,
a new and illustrated edition Of Webstcr's Die
tionary. The improvements Of this new cdi-
ton over preceding ones, consist mainly in:
Pictorial Illustrations, of which there are
l,5O0, executed in first rate style, of sufficient
size to fully illustrate the object represented,
and classified, so that those devoted to q GER
tain subject, as Architecture, Botany, Machi-
merry, &C., arc brought together, thus forming
a set of valuable text books, besides conveying
a correct idea of such objects as cannot be
accurately described By mere 'word painting"
however graphic it may be.
.Nem Words.-Ncarly 10000 of these have
been added since the edition of 1917.
The. Table Of Synonyms occupies about 20
pages and has over :, 200 words; those Of like
meaning grouped together, arc thus discrimina-
ted in their exact shades of likeness and differ
encc, so as greatly to facilitate the precise and
accurate use of language. This feature Is Of
the greatest value.

VERY BAD LOGIC.

Driven to the last resort, the Examiner
argues in the following strain:
"Thc Enquirer has in its issue Of Saturday the
fullest evidence of our inability 10 carry this propos!-
ton in Il Convention OF the Democracy OF tile Union.
Then We We're ignoring the claims oi Southern men,
and also Of Northern men, bccarsc OF Their coiic';r-
renee with Southern sentiment; then VIC Were COM
promising and cutting down our defenders III the
North TO secure IN available candidate: then the law
of the United Statcn was II matter oil doubt t!leh
the doctrine at nOn-ilItrrvcntlon was asserted III tiis
Kansas md Nebraska bills, and then the corscrv;!,
tive parties in the Mon were generally committed
to the territorial bills in which this nOn-intcrrcntion
doctrine had been inserted. At such II time, the
assertion of the true principle OF Congressman pow
er and duty would have been IN net oi justice ~ the
faithful advocates of Constitutional ri,sit>: WHOSE
garments were still tinycd with the smoke of aiiercc
and gallant conflict. Then the miSchieis oil AL un-
settled law might have justified the direct cnuncia-
ton Ola popular Interpretation OF constitutional law.
Tint WAS the occasion when those who hated the
non-intervention features Of the Kansas and NehrAs-
ka bills would have been, if not justified, ut least en-
cusablc, in pressing an ahncgatlon OF that principle,
even as a sine 1ad non. But neither then nor nj any
previous time did the fiery friends OF the south exact
from the Conventions or the candidates any slch
pledge"
In the first place, we must remind our CO.
temporary that he is arguing directly against
his own previous argument. lie has hitherto
asserted that the Cincinnati Convention deter
mined TO await the decision Of the judiciary.
Again, we have never yet learned, nor do we
believe, that any men were ignored at Cincin-
natl, ''becausc Of their concurrence with
Southern sentiment
Again: The Kansas Nebraska act never did
assert ''non.intcrvention" in the sense which
our contemporary pretends. 1t asserted mon
Intervention" to Introduce or to exclude slave
ry in a territory; but it also asserted, in the
most direct manner, the doctrine of intcrvcn-
ton for protection to all existing rights of per-
sons and property in a territory. Both Of these
are sound, Southern, Democratic doctrines.
But take our neighboron his present ground,
which is %this-when this question was unset
tied" we found it was impossible to assert the
true doctrine of the constitution, because of
this unsettled status; ergo, now, that the doc
trinc has been settled in our .taror, it will be
stiU more impossible to assert it!
II there ever was n palpablc non-seq"tter,
our neighbor has, we submit, fully per petra.

S.uffing the Ballot Boxes.

& E~ Democracy seems to be every
where the same, and everywhere seems
inclined to violate the ballot box. Since
the success Of the Missourians in Kansas,
this seems to be a favorte game with the.
party, as is proven by the records Of con-
tests in Minnesota st. Louis, Philadel-
phia and New York So in love are they
with it that they do not confne it to the
contests between themselves and their
political opponents, but bring it to bear
upon each other; in.their conventions. In
the recent Maine State Convention, upon
the contest for delegates to the Charles
ton Convention, a much larger number
of ballots than there was5delegates, were
ound to have been cast, and now
the Democracy of Buchanan county
have entthemselves capable Of car
rying out the same vllainous practice.
In their convention on Saturday, upon
the contest for Sheriff, which was the
most exciting part Of the proceedings,
THE BALLOT BOXES WERE STUF-
FED TWICE IN SUCCESSION. On
the second ballot the two candidates
were tie, but on the third, with only
Sc delegates, 20 VOTES WERE CAST,
and on the fourth ballot, 50 VOTES
WERE CAST, On the next ballot, the
tellers having first been required to EXAM
inc the ballots, the proper number of votes
were cast. When the Republican Con-
vention OF the day previous deemed it
proper to go into preliminary caucus
with closed doors, our Democratic friends
howled loudly against secret conven-
tons, and laid all manner of charges of
dark doings against Republicans /; what
have they to say now Of the practices of
their own delegates, when, after tie
vote between their candidates, one fac
ton stuffed the ballot-box, in the hopes
of gaining the victory ? The Republi-
can convention threw open its doors as
soon as its preliminary caucus was over,
and exonerated itself from the charge of
secrecy. How can the Democracy clear
themselves of the damnabe charge of
ballot box stuffing? aaaTH Ue4
