The Murder Of Senator Frederick.

&AAl
The details of the late duel, as it was
technically called, between Senator Bro
derrick and Judge Terry, says the CIeve-
land Plaindealer, leave no doubt Of a
conspiracy against his life, ana a fixed
determination to murder him. He was
too honest and too independent a minded
man to go for that bill Of denominations.

not slide the honest impulses Of his heart
and turn a ~scmmersault uponhis friends
and previously expressed opinions, to gra-
tify either the President Or his fire eat
ing dictators in that insane political cru.

Lecompton tormentors can never harm

by ~embroiling him in a duel with Senator

refused because it was on school lands,

CONVENTIONS.

All who have read the american for TIE
Il past four months will remember that i
has abounded with articles in opposition
to political Conventions. This is a theme
which that paper has continually rolled
as a sweet morsel under it's tongue AL
manner Of objections hasesbeen raised tc
that custom so cherished among Demo
Gratis. TIE ingenuity Of each Of the nu
merous volunteer contributors to the Am
erican has been exercised upon this pro
life theme. Political independence ;
and the liberty Of choosing candidates
from among crowd who put their names
forward unpledged to any principles, moi
vouched for by any party, and standing
upon no platform and appealing only to
personal preferences and par.ialities, has
called out ali sorts of articles from the
American whose united lengths would
form column of matter Which would
nearly extend across Red River. We
scarcely remember in our editorial expe-
rience a theme SO thumped and mauled
upon by any single weekly paper during
the sameafriod. The American has clans
to that topic with as much dogged per
tinacity as ever aspup tugged at The root
of a tree--and, We may add, with just as
little effect. all the teachers, druggists,
lawyers, planters, judges and merchants
who constitute the extensive corps of
contributors to the american have said
their say" in opposing Conventions. The
subject was treated satirically, allegori-
cally, judicially, seriously, faeetioasly,
historically, theoretically and very length
lily in each particular style. Everything
which could be said and everything which
has ever been said, written orsung against
Conventions was reproduced ia al! its
changes The American has been COM
pletely and thoroughly in earnest il this
matter.
But alas for political consistency We
now find the editor and proprietor Of the
American acting as Secretary of Pre-
cinet K. N. Convention here in Alsxan-
dria Of which his chief writer against Con.
ventions was the President We 2nd
him also, in these sultry September days,
making the long and tedious journey to
New Orleans to act as delegate to a
State ~ K. n Convention-both Con-
ventions being shams and differing from
each other OILY in the extent Of their pre-
tensions. the sqn'bs and diatribes
of the American against Conventions be
suspended or will ignore consistency in
this respect as completely as it usually
does in all others.2

HE LAST Kick OF A DYING ADMINIsTRA
TIoN.-The K, N. Governor, Secretary Of
State and Attorney General of Kentucky
signalized their retiring from Office by an
act of gross injustice. Chrisman, Dem,
was elected over Anderson K. N in the
Fourth Congressional District by clear
majority Of legal votes, although the ex
aiming board of one Of the counties Of the
District committed an error in their returns
which maaeit appear that Anderson had
a majority. The State examining board
composed Of tie above named officers re-
fused to allow the county board to correcl
theif returns and awarded a certificate Of
election to Anderson. This act, as I'M
just as it is silly in poiutof policy, has
aroused the Indignation Of all honest mer
in Kentucky and has probably made
thousands Of Democratic voters. Chris
man will undoubtedly contest the seat
before Congress.
