The Charter Election.

EDIroR DEMOCRAT: The Lecompton organ
has at last owned up the truth, and given us
the reasons why the servile supporters of the
Federal Administration are laboring so hard
TO carry the city election this spring. First,
(of course) they desire to carry the city for
the sake of the city" Chat is for the sake of
carrying it, "and secondarily for the sake OF
the strength it will give us (them) in the city
and county at the merit election" Verify, an
honest onfession They are after the pub
lie p1,ender "At the next election" all the
county offices are to be filed The Marys-
vile Lecompton Clique (for they have but
few strikers in the mountains) have already,
So far as conflicting interests would permit,
divided the fat places around among them
selves. Candidates for County Judge, Dis
trict Attorney, Clerk, Recorder, Treasurer,
Tax Collector and Sheriff, reside here in Ma
rysville, and may be seen at all times of the
day ard night laboring to keep few of the
rank and file sound on Lecomp, for their own
dear sakes They are fighting bitterly, for
it is the last glimmering hope for them.
They froth and fume if their silly and ground.
less blowing is answered, and really feel
insuted that any but themselves should either
have an opinion, or express it, Poor fellows
staggering under the fearful load of the foul
carcase of Leconpton, they cry aloud to us
for peace. They are anxious to escape Oh
servation. Upon the arrival Of an Eastern
mail, some fasehood is coined for them, by
their leaders, and then the toadies, revivifed,
crawl from their Shiny retreats and spatter
mud upon Democrats f,r a day or two, after
which they retire and howl because their
baseness is exposed. Their rage is the rage
of the dscomtited Their agony is that of
their policical death struggle. Let us pity
them.
Meanwhile all is fair and smooth for the
true Democracy of the People. The free
business men and working men, who seek no
offices, and who have desire to see the mu-
nicipal government go on prOsperously, as it
has during the past year, are consulting at
their stores and workshops, as to who shall
be selected for the city Offices this spring.
They will select men who have MarysvHle |
at heart. The good citizens of Ma
rysville cannot entirely settle Kansas affairs |
this spring. They will Incidentally exhibit |
their adherence for the "tyrannical and out
acts of that interesting and intellec
,ual body of persons known as the Califor-
MA Legislature, and also their abiding faith
n the ability of the People of America for
President Buchanan to the
Notwithstanding. In short, the
ieket will be composed of men who have
well defined political opinions, and who are
Ilso fit for the duties which the voters will
all upon them to discharge All who desire
o endorse President Buchanans Kansas pol
cy, should vote the ticket which the Lecomp.
on county aspirants are getting up.

he chances to have ever owed allegiance to a

have failed to read the plain omens of the

the names of the different Engine Companies

future.

| Saturday evening, II little after dark, the
Station House became the scene of some
what singular demonstration Officer Casad
was sitting at the stove, it being his turn in
the Station House, when suddenly the door
was thrown open, and in came two persons
with rush. One was a nedium-sized man,
well known in this city, of usually very aus
tere appearance and grave demeanor, but at
the time under consideration thrown com
pletely off his dignity He was in the hands
of a stout, heavy-buit son of the Emerald
Isle, who had him with one hand by the top
of the head and the other by the seat of his
unmentionables, In which condition he had
showed him along, as it appeared, for the dis
tance of half mile. Swinging him around
in front of the officer, the strange captor pro-
ceeded to unfold the mystery of the transac-
ton He informed the officer that the aus
tere individual before him had been guilty of
a heinous offense against the laws of the land,
and that he had brought him to receive the
justice which was due to his crime. He then
went on to say, that such high handed often
ses against the laws of the land as this austere
individual had been guilty of should not be
committed in proximity to his (the captor's)
house-that he would not suffer it The
austere individual had but little to say. He
said he would leave it to the officer to decide
what should be done with him, after both
sides of the story had been heard. The OFF,
Ger was satisfied with questioning the captor
merely and, after hearing him out, ordered
the prisoner discharged.
Itappeared that the arrest was made under
the following circumstances
The captor, suspecting something wrong in
a house near his own, in which there lived a
married woman whose husband is in Jail,
burst open the door and found the austere in
dividual, above mentioned, and the female
alluded to .fagrante delictu upon which he
Immediately seized the male offender and

THE DEMOCRACY OF MAtNE.-At recent

Legislature of the State of Maine, the follow.
ing resolutions were passed:
Resolced That we hold it to be sound and un-
excephonable doctrine, that if the people of a Ter.
rtory are in favor of slavery, they have a right to
make laws to establish and protect it and if they
are opposed to slavery, they have an cqnal right
to make laws to exclude it,
Res0lgei, That it is our deliberate and fixed
purpose to declare that Congress should in no
event pass any act To establish, protrct or sustain
slavery in the Territories Of the United States, OF
to exclude it theretrom, but should promptly
guaranty to the sovereign people thereof the un
disturbed right TO dispose Of it in their own way
and without interference or molestation from any
quarter subject only to the express provisions q
the Constitution.
Resolced, That we are in favor of the immedi-
ate admission Of Oregon, and also of the admis
sion Of Kansas into the Union, whenever Il Con
stitutiOu, republican in form, truly and honestly
ratified by the popular vote Of said Territory shal
be presented to Congress

the same position under the old firm, and
gave satisfaction not only to his principal but
to the public at large. He held the position
from March 1851, when he opened his office
as Agent in this city, to November of the
same year. Mr.. Latham is one of the best
business men in the country, and under his
care the Marysville branch of Freeman &

of Mr.. Latham from our own personal obser.
vation. having known him well in his former
capacity, and having been aware Of the high
estimation in which he was held by his en-

to say to the first nterrogatory is, lock at
the nomination of Stephen A. Douglas, for
the Presidency, at the head of the DEMOCRAT,
and find your answer To the second inter-
rogatory we have to say that, whatever the
regular Democratic organization of this coun.
ty choose to do in the matter of sending del
egates to the State Convention, we shall be
prepared to acquiesce in, or bolt, and we are
not in the habit of boiling. That game we
leave to the Express and the Bogusites whom
it represents.

ca" The Express makes a disconnected ex-
tract from an article in the DEMOCRAT, which
appeared some time ago, in order to prove
that we are in favor of Congress revising
Constitutions for the States, thus taking away
their State sovereignty. Let the Express
give the language in connection with that
extract and our meaning will be apparent
We were merely showing the absurdities into
which the Leeompton doctrine that Repre-
sentatives are above their constituents and
that Constitutions should not be submitted 70
the people, would lead; and the Express Ions
off all the argument in the case, and gives our
conclusion of the reasoning reduetio dd absur.

misses. OF course, this sort of disengenuous.
ness is not entitled to serious notice.
