Eg~ The Dubuu,ln naners Of Saturday

Ey- The Dubuque papers of Saturday
contain full accounts of the execution,
on the day previous, OF FRANcIs GILLICK,
for the murder Of his wife. The unfor-
tunate man, we believe, had three trials,
his counsel making every possible effort
to avert from him the dread penalty OF
his crimes. He acknowledged having
killed his wife, but said he did not intend
to do so. Under the combined influence
of rum and passion, he did not know
what he was doing at the time. He met
his fate with great fortitude, and died
without a struggle. He was hung a,
Eagle Point, above Dubuque, and the ex
ecution was witnessed by some seven or
eight thousand persons, large part OF
them being women He was escorted
to the place of execution by the military
and populace, band at the head play
ing a solemn march The music, how
ever, was allowed in Difference to the un-
fortunate mans desire. The Times Just
" concludes, from the demonstrations of
the crowd, that public executions are
detrimental to the morals Of commu-
nifty.

The New Haven Paiiadium asserts
POSITIVELY that over eleven hundred per-
sons voted in that city whose names were
not registered. 1t further states that
men were admitted TO the polls in def

pledging the Democratic party to sustain
It's decisions. Illinois, Massachusetts,,
Minnesota, and Indiana reported the Gin
cinnati platform, pure and simple. Thus
three platforms were still before the con
yention at the time of the last report
Most probably the first will be adopted
1t is at least certain that whatever the
platform may be, it will contain a plank
declaring the right of the people of each
state to take their property to the terri
tories, and to have it protected there.
Upon such platform Mr.. DOUGLAS
has asserted he would not stand, and il
would therefore seem that his chances for
the nomination are not as good as his
friends desire. But it is impossible to
determine the result There is much in
tensity of feeling, and the session has
been very stormy. The Gulf States,
with South Carolina, have determined on
leaving the Convention, if Mr.. DOUGLAS
friends triumph, and it is clear that the
party is badly distracted and disorgan
lied. The South is evidently determin-
ed, like Senator BRowN of Mississippi,
not to cheat or be cheated, while the
Douglasites are willing to grant the SUBJ
stance of what Slavery demands, but
want it covered up with the verbiage
about judicial decisions, so that the North
may again be deceived. We are inclined
to think that the South will succeed, and
that in the coming contest the positions OF
the two parties will be clearly defined.

New YORK, April 90.

The Times London correspondent
says: Il visited Heenan last evening,
and found him most comfortable and in
excellent spirits. He is anxious to fight
Sayers as soon as possible if he is not
satisfied with the present result.
The Indignation of the Americans
here. and in fact a large portion of the
British public, is loudly and vehemently
expressed. The ring was broken into by
a pack of thieves, who used the excuse
TO rob every one. 1t was well known
that Mr.. Heenan would not be allowed to
carry the champion belt out of the coun-
try, and the Englishmen who had bet
their all on Sayers as soon as they found
their champion was losing, resorted to
the most unfair means, kicking Heenan
and pulling him down
A meeting of the Americans will take
place in London tonight, and you NAV
expect to see some controversies in the
papers.
Mr.. George Wilkes will demand the
belt tor Heenan. and will furnish test.
mony to prove that he is entitled TO it
OF one thing your readers may be GER
tain, Heenan' s rights will be properly at
tended to, and his position will be main
tanned to the last"
The Tribune SAYS gentleman now at
the st. Nicholas, and who witnessed the
fight says that when Heenan had got
Sayers into such position that he must
inevitably have won the battle John Nor
risey cut the ropes and let Heenan fall to
the ground

The Charleston Convention.
ES- This body, up to Saturday nil

I- This body, up to Saturday night,
had but little more than commenced its
labors, although in session a week. 1t
was permanently organized on Tuesday,
by the election of CALEB CUSHING, of
Massachusetts, as President. That gen
deman acknowledged the honor in a we'll
conceived speech, in which he took occa-
sion to talk of Southern rights, and to
declare for their maintenance The Doug
las delegates from Illinois, and the Tam
many delegation from New York, were
admitted, and FERNANDO WooD and the
contestants kicked out, though not until
quite breeze had been raised. Since
Wednesday, the convention has been en-
gagged upon a platform, and innumerable
have been the resolutions and propositions
offered. The committee reported some
three or four sets Of resolutions, the ma
jority one declaring broadly for the pro-
lection Of Slave property in the Terrific
ries. The DOUGLAS report favored the
Cincinnati platform, with an endorsement
of the bred Scott decision, which, it is
said, is as far as Mr.. DOUGLAS will allow
concession to be made. Boisterous and
exciting debates sprang up upon these
reports, and continued until Saturday,
when Mr.. BIGLER, of Pennsylvania, NOV
ed to refer the BAYARD resolutions TO the
Committee on Platform, with instructions
to report them in one hour. These reso-
lutions affirm the Cincinnati platform, and
declare that all citizens have right to
settle in the Territories without their
rights of person or property being i'm
paired either by Congressional or Terri
torial legislation. They further declare
that the Democratic party stands pledged
to the doctrine that il is the duty of gov
eminent to maintain all constitutional
rights of property, Of whatever kind, in
the Territories, and to enforce the decis-
ions Of the Supreme Court in reference
thereto. A lengthy debate ensued in
respect TO the reference, but finally all the
platforms, with these resolutions, were re-
ferred to the committee. The committee
again made several reports, the majority
one being a combination of Messrs. BAY
ARD. Of Delaware, CocuRAYE, Of New
York. and BIGLER, Of Pennsylvania. Mr..
SAMuELs, of Iowa, made minority re-
port, eschewing Congressional intervcn-
ton, and declaring that the Supreme
Court has the power to decide whether
either Congress or The Territorial legisla-
ture possesses the right Of Legislation
over Slavery in the Territories, and

kENosnA, April %

For the third time within six months
this city has been subjected to mos.
devastating fire. The last visitation is
the most widespread and destructive of
all. The business part of Kenosha. on
Main street, with the exception of sin
gle block or two, is now in ruins. Its
best mercantile establishments, hotels
and hall-all gone. About 3 O'Clock on
yesterday morning the alarm was given,
but not before the fire had attained vic.
lence and force entirely beyond the pow
er of our tiremen and citizens. From
the starting point, barn in the rear of
+. ID. Bonds store, on the east side OF
Main street, the flames, under the driy-
ing influence ola strong northeast wind
spread rapidly southwest and west, and
more slowly north and east their pro-
gress on the east side and north being
stopped at the City Bank. and on the
west at the store of Bronson d Bono all
south Of both these points, on both sides
Of Main street nearly to the Park, with
a number Of dwellings, and business es-
/ adjustments on Wisconsin street, east
aud west of Main, being reduced 10 ashes
IN two or three hours. We cannot give
all the particulars. The Runals House,
Odd. Fellows HAHN connection with
which were the finest mercantile estab
lishments Of the city--Vale's Bakery,
Wheeler's Drug Store, Hanson's brick
store, and Runal's dwelling house are
among the property destroyed. The en-,
tire loss in buildings and personal prop
erty is estimated in round numbers al
Si35.O0o, of which not more than 80
per cent. was insured. AS to the origin
OF the fire there is but one opinion il is
one Of a series Of attempts made within
the last six months to burn the city
The destruction of two or three hundred
thousand dollars worth of property, as
the result of this and former attempts,
shows how successful the work of malice
has been. a fearful retribution would
be visited upon the offenders if by any
means they could be discovered.

applauded vehemently for the sentiment,
which is reiterated by at least two of
the presses of that city. And repeated
ly, as by Called CUSHING, is it asserted
that the negro is incapable of governing
or providing for himself, and must have
a master. while many, like DOUGLAS,
express Indifference alike to the extension
or curtailment of the Infamous system.
Not only that, we find petitions sent into
the legislatures Of more than one free
state, praying that masters may be al
lowed to hold their slaves temporarily
within the jurisdiction of such States.
And further, we find judges ready to
accord this as right. In the late Lem
mon Slave case in New York, three out
of the four Democratic judges of the
Court of Appeals pronounced the law Of
the State giving freedom to every slave
voluntarily brought into the State, gross
violation of the principles Of comfy and
justicc-one of them clearly stating it to
be unconstitutional and void, the others
intimating as much, but shielding them
selves from positive assertion on that
point under the plea of not having ex-
amined the matter fully, because of the
pressure of other duties. Who doubts if
there had been a liberal preponderance
of Democrats in that Court, that the de-
cision would have been in favor of Slav.
cry ? Many decisions of Southern Courts
are on record affirming to slaves their lib
erty when they had been voluntarily tax
en- into free territory, and it has only been
since Slavery, under Democratic foster
ing, has become SO potent in the govern
ment, that it has been found that the old
Determinations against it are unconsti
tutional. This Lennon case will I'M
doubtedly be carried up to the Supreme
Court of the United States, and who
doubts, if the verdict of the nation is in
favor of doctrines of the Charleston Con-
vertion, that the right claimed by Vir,
ginia will be awarded, and that State laws
granting freedom to the bond when
they are brought voluntarily within the
jurisdiction of those States, will be de-
clared void ? Protection for slave prop
erty in the Territories is also demanded
by the South, and its right to it is not de-
MED, so far as the reports state, by the
Democratic delegates at Charleston. Is
it unreasonable, either, to look forward
10 re-opening of the foreign Slave
Trade, as demanded, under the auspices
of the same party !? A slave code for the
territories was infinitely more improba-
BILE three years ago, and yet only the lack
of power in the Democratic party now
prevents that consummation. We ask
then, seriously, of every anti slavery man
in this county, how he can justify him
self in longer supporting party whose
every progressive step is in the direction
demanded by the slave power, whose ad-
vance must be the triumph of that pow
er? Answer satisfactorily to your con-
science if YOU can.
