There was a peculiar Fitness o
things" in Charleston, South Caro-
lima, the burial place Of John G
Calhoun, being the spot where tho
Democratic party should sever, -
The question Of slavery eplit in twair
the Wing and the American parties
it had previously ruptured every
Church organization, save one, and
there seemed nothing that could
withstand its splitting force save the
Democratic party; that, by the CO,
hesive power Of public plunder,
seemed invulnerable. Finally even
that party has succumbed, and we
say it ia fit the Act should have been
accomplishcd d beneath the shade OF
the tomb OF John c. Calhoun.
The Democratic Convention wac
called at Charleston in order to con-
ciliate the nullfiers of South Caro-.
lima; its meetings were presided over
by Caleb Cushing, upon whom,
among al Northern doughfaccs, the
mantle Of Calhoun most fitiingly
falls, and whose opening address
pointed to the grave OF Calhoun as
that Of the great statesman Demo
cracy should initiate and venerate.
1t was the engrafting into tho De-
mocratic tree Of Calhoun doctrines
that SD diseased the trunk as to pro.
duce it's fall. The party went up.
like pilgrims, to the grave o! their
great master, to offer up obligations
at the shrine Of him who first pro
mulgated the doctrine that slavery
is national aud freedom sectional.
Although the contest at Charles
ton was mere personal scramble
for we see no difference, in fact, be-
tween the bold fire-eaters slave code
doctrine, and Douglas squatter GOV.
ereignty, combined with the Dred
Scott decision-yet the result in
volvsd principles, and tho masses OF
the Northern Democratic party will
regard the split as upon a principle,
and all the Baltimore patching tbs,
politicians can invent. will never

Wurd or in Maumee City.

We nre informed by Mr.. O Chap
man, OF Perrysburg, that a child ot
some soyen years OF age, was mur,
dered at Manmee City, on Saturday
evening last, about nine o'clock. A
Coroner's inquest was held AMI a
verdict rendered that the child came
to its death by being choked By tue
right hand OF some unknown person,
marks OF which were visible on ite
neck. There were other marks Of
violence, the bowels being literally
torn out. A rope was fastened
aronnd its neck, seemingly for the

American Convention Mt Baltimore

The American Convention at Bal.
tinore, last week, put in nomination
for the Presidency, Honorable John
Bell, Of Tennessee, and for the Vice
Presidency, Honorable Edward Ev.
crett, Of Massachusetts,. Mr.. Bell is
ono of the most liberal and dignificd
OF Southern men, but Everett is u
perfect cypher. There are hundreds
of our venerable matrons, much
better qualified for tho station for
which he is nominated.
The Convention dcnounced the
Platforms usually adopted by the
other parties as hnmbug, suscepti.
BILE OF u double Interpretation, and
adopted as regular "Sprcad Eagle"
Platform, "the Constitution and the
laws" or something to that effect. -
Now there could have been no more
barcfaccd dodge of the importan,
Issues now before the America
people, nor could there have been {
Platform constructed, more entirely
susceptible Of double construction
The South claims, as general
thing, that the Constitution guaran
ties equality OF rights in the territories
to tho citizens of all the states, in all
kinds of property, including slaves;
while n large proportion of the peo-
pie Of the North, hold that the Con.
stitu'ion gives to the slave holder no
right to take his slaves INTO tho ter
ritories and hold them there. Why
could not these conservative Union.
Savers" come out boldly like men.
and show that they had % manli
ness and independence to have an
opinion on questions regarded ms
important by tho American people3
These "milk. and water" politicians,
who are so disposed to blow hot and
cold, will lind themselves most sadly
deceived, at the North at least, about
election time. The people in these
latter days, require something pos.
tive and specific, in the creed of
parties. An evasivo position will
not come up to their requirements.

"The Judge palmed himself off on

Douglas man, bnt when ne got to
Charleston he was for a candidate
unknown to the Democracy OF HE

Dead Body ofa Woman Found Ftonting .
inihc River.

Thu morning, the body OF {
woman vas discovered in the sill
adjoining the old Johnson Ware.
house, at the foot OF Jefferson street
which, on being taken from the
water, was placed on the dock under
the warehouse. and Coroner Bost
wick held an inquest. A shaker
bonnet ar d shawl were found with
the body. The dress Was Of cal
and the appearance OF The body
seemed to indicate that it had been
in the water. Tor some days.
At the place where the body was
found narrow foot bridge reached
by flight Of strp' on either side
crosses the slip. At the NortIerly
end, tho hand rail opposite the steps
is gone, and from the body being
found nearly beneath this spot, drees-
ed "a for walking it might eccm
that the woman had fallen in while
attempting TO cross this foot bridge.
But other circumstances are averse
to snch q conclusion. When the
body WAS found, the feet were cross
ed, limbs straiebtcncd, and the
hands crossed upon the breast; u
position hardly consistent with a
Icath from accidental drowning
falling from such hight into the
water. and the struggles which would
naturally tako place under such
circumstances.
1t would seem from the testimony
taken at tho Coroncr's Inquest, that
the name Of the deceased was Eliza
Robinson, or Robertson. recently Of
this city, and it is said that she has
parents or friends in Rochester, New
York. The following is the dcscrip-
tion Of the body:-age about 81
years; hight five feet four inches;
dark brown or auburn hair brown;
eyes; roundish face, with rather a
short nose and partial hair lip, or
scar from an old cut, on the left side
of her upper lip. Had on when

The Admission Of Kansas.

The p ople may wonder how il
comes that Kansas lie not promptly
admitted, now that che has presented
herself with a Constitution framed
and adopted in conformity with all
the forms of law. The Democrats
themselves do not dispute that the
Constitution was fairly submitted to
vote of tho people, and adopted by
large majority. Let the remarks
of Garnett, of Virginia answer this
query:
az oppose i, not only because | DO no,
th,nk Kansas a fl and desirable state TO be
sdmitN d into the Union, but because I do
not want You TO have the additional elect

proper, and just, and legitimate motive.n
Here we hsvo the secret of the
opposition openly confessed. While
Oregon and Minnesota were pronpt,
ly admitted because II was supposed
they would add to the Democratic
strength in Congress, these patriotic
Democratic politicians oppose the
admission of Kansas, because she
is likely to throw her influence in
favor Of the Republicans; and yet the
party would fain make the people
believe that they arc in favor Of
popular rights. Does not their
course Of action show that when in
