A Word to Postmasters.


The law makes it the duty of Post Mast
ers, when for any cause a newspaper or
publication of any kind is not taken from
the Post Office, to notify the publisher
thereof of the fact at once. We call the
attention of Post Masters to this require
ment of the law, and will be obliged to
them if they will notify us, in all cases,
when the Republican is refused, or for any
other cause it is not taken from their re-
spective Offices We do not wish, or even
expect, them to be so vigilant. however,
as to return us any papers, until they shall
first have been refused or until the per-
sons to whom they are directed shall first
have had an opportunity to signify their
non-acceptance of them, as seems to be
the practice at the P O. in Portland.
There is another matter we may as well
dispose of under this head, and that is
this: The Post Master at Ixonia, we I'M
derstand, charges postage on the RepuJh-
can, and refuses to deliver it until the post
age is first paid. Perhaps other Post
Masters are doing the same thing, but if
so, information to that effect has not vet
reached us, We desire to say that the
laws of the P. 0. Dept entirely forbid any
such practice, and that any Post Master
guilty of it, either does not know his duty
or is wilfully corrupt. All newspapers,
when sent from the Office of publication
the law says, shall circulate free of postage
in the county where published We are
very we'll convinced that Democratic Post
Masters, or at least some of them in this
county, are e1erting themselves all they
can to injure the circulation Of the Repub-
lican, but we have yet to learn that we
are to be debarred any privileges enjoyed
by publishers of papers of different polit-
zeal faith. We stand on a level with Dem
ocratic publishers and wish Democratic
Post Masters to so understand. We would
thank our friends to inform us Of the fact
at once, when they are charged postage Cd
the Republican. or of any other unlawful
act on the part of Uncle Sans officials,
and we will endeavor to see that the prop
er corrective is promptly applied. The
National Administration is very corrupt,
we know, but we cannot believe that it is
SO far lost to all sense of decency and JUS
tice, as to continue in office any Post Mas
ter who tramples under foot the well
established rules of law, and the rights of
persons, as has been done in the cases we
have mentioned.

sion to send it, at that place. We shall
continue to send package there every
week, and we advise you not to return US
another, as you did one week before last,
without having broken the wrapper, or
knowing to whom they were directed, but
to deliver each paper therein contained to
the person to whom it is addressed, unless
he plainly refuses to receive it, or neglects
to call at your office for such length of time
as indicates that his P. O. address is else
where. We give you notice that we are
IN earnest in this matter, and that the Re-
PUBLICAN must either be allowed to circu-
late hereafter through the medium of your
Office, or that your days there as Asst.
z. NJ" will soon be at an end.

Democratic Prospects as Pictured by
Democratic Organs

The n. Y. Journal of Commerce, in
speaking of Presidential matters, says:
1.-The falling off from Douglas of those
who have been supposed to be his friends,
is an every day occurrence, and i'll several
instances are among leading public men.
Gov. fitzpatrick, Roger A Pryor, Gov.
johnson, of Tennessee Gov. Stevens, of
Georgia, and others, scarcely less distin-
guished, are losses which no man can af-
ford, who expects to stand we'll with his
party.
We judge that in no one of the South
ern states can Mr.. Douglas have the
slightest hope of success. At the rate
things are now going on, there will be
very little encouragement for even the
attempt to present HIM as a candidate in
any considerable number Of the states
south Of Mason and Dixon's line"
The Albany STANDARD says:
Judge Douglas will poll large vote
in New York, Pennsylvania. Ohio, Illinois,
and other Free States, and vet it is not
probable that he will carry q single
State"
The New York Herald, which seems to
rather favor Douglas, while speaking Of
the course of Mr.. Silas Seymour, is forced
to say
"Mr. Seymour talks sheer nonsense
when he talks Of electing Mr.. Douglas by
the popular vote. If Mr.. Silas Seymour can
not comprehend this fact he is an ignora-
mus in politics who ought to keep quiet !;
if he does comprehend it, he should speak
accordingly. The mere clap-trap of con-
idence and enthusiasm, without anything
to show for it, is good for nothing and
goes for nothing"

a Recruit Tor Lincoln.

Editor Argus & Democrat = SIR: I
desire, through the medium Of your press to
announce my resignation of the position
which l have the honor to hold. as chairman
of the Democratic Central Committee for the
comfy Of Dane.
| am imp PEELED to take this course from the
fact that cannot consistently support either
of the Democratic candidates for the Presi-
dency at the ensuing ell elton.
| cannot vote for Mr.. Breckenridge, be-
cause he stands upon the pro'slave1y plat
form.
do not deem it advisable to vote for
Douglas, for the following reasons:
lst. He cannot be elected.
2. Voting for him only increases the
chance of election of a pro'slavery candidate.
Sd. The resolution adopted at Baltimore,
which is endorsed by Mr.. Douglas, in his
letter accepting the nomination substantially
comedies so far as principle is concerned
all that the secessionists demanded. 1t vir'
tually declares that the Democratic party viii
not only abide by the "Dred Scott" but will
also favor Congressional legislation to enforce
and carry it into effect-whch means "inter.
vention," if it means anything.
4th. The ultraists of the South, by action
in the National Convention, and elsewhere,
have forced upon the Union men Of the North
the necessity of taking one extreme or the
other upon the slavery questioning choice
is the extreme for Freedom, rather than the
extreme for SldCery.
intend, therefore, to vote for Abraham
Lincoln for President, believing that he can
and will be elected, and that his election will
teach the pro'savery men of the south prof,
table lesson, while at the same time, 1t will
futher the best interests of the whole country.

Gov. Seward.

The Milwaukee Sentinel, and the Madi-
son Journal, we perceive, do not think very
favorably of the suggestion we made last
week that Watertown should be designa-
ted as the place where Gov. Seward shall
speak when he visits this State. The OBJ
jections they urge, and the reasons ad-
vanced by each why their respective cities
should be the chosen one, do not seem to
US as sound. At least we cannot agree
with them in the opinion that any larger
meeting could be got together in Mad
ison or Milwaukee than there can here
We certainly are more centrally located.
and our rail road facilities are quite as
good as those of Milwaukee, while they
are considerably better than those of Mad
ison. The North Western road would ac-
commodate the extreme Northern and
Southern portions of the State and with
the connections that it makes with other
roads, would bel to swell the crowd from
sections of the country that would be more
apt to come here than to 60 to either of the
other places designated. And it is the peo-
pie from this very region that ,ee acant to
reach There is no doubt but that the
largest crowd that was ever got together
in the state would welcome Gov. Seward
at any place that might be named; but SO
long as he can speak but once to our PEG
pie, it is the duty of the Central Commit
tee to waive any feeling of local pride in
the matter, and designate point where
the masses at large can be best accommo-
dated. We still think that Watertown is
that point, and hope that the committee
will so decide.

The plain men of the country do not readily
see the wisdom of the Secession doctrine of In
terventon by Congress to protect Slavery. or the
Republican doctrine of like intervention to pro-
hiJit Slavery.-Democrat.
The plain men of the country do not
readily see why it should have been good
Democrat" doctrine in 1S49 to oppose
the extension of Slavery, and to day be
''wisdom =" to favor the adoption of a
measure which has, according to the
Don't Care Candidate, Douglas, wrest-
ed from Freedom and given to Slavery, a
tract of territory in New Mexico, e five
times as large as New York" They have
not forgotten, and will not forget, that in
1S49, a Democratic Legislature, in this
then Democratic State, passed the follow
ing resolutions, which at that time consti-
tuted the platform of the Democratic par
ty:
90 Resoloed, That we are opposed to the
admission OF any more new States into the
CLlOL, LIE SONS111 l1ON YIN Laws Or
WHICH CREATE OR SUSTAIN SLAVERY.
e Resolued, That all National Laws which
sustain or recognize Slavery, except when
the institution exists as a distinct State
right, should be repealed.
- Resolued, That we believe it to be the
duty of Congress to incorporate the provis-
ions of the ordinance of 1879, prohibiting
slavery or involuntary seryitude, into all
territorial organic acts hereafter to be pass
! ed, AND To OPPOSE THE ADMISSION INTO THE
| UNIoN OF ANY NEW SLAVE STATES.
''Resolued, That we hold and advocate
the doctrine of free and equal suffrage. "
1.-The plain men of the country . can
readily see that men change, but they
do not see why principles should. They
have an idea that if it was wrong to extend
slavery over the Territories of the United
States in 1S49, it certainly cannot be
right to do it in 1860 And We think the
'splain men l" have come so very sensible
conclusion.

obligation Of the Government to protect the lives
and property Of its citizens.
Sixteenth. That a railroad to the Pacific Ocean
is imperatively demanded by the interests of
the whole country; that the Federal Govern
ment ought to render immediate and efficient
aid in its construction, and that as preliminary
thereto daily overland mail should be estab-
lished.
Seventeenth, Finally, having thus set forth
our distinctive principles and views, We invite
the cooperation of all citizens however differ
ing on other questions, who substantially agree
with US in their affirmance and support.

gI Death is frequently inflicted among
the Kafirs and in various ways, most ofthem
diabolically cruel. This is oce specimen of
the most ingenious and refined cruelty, and
one of the most frightful fortunes that can be
inflicted. The culprit is rubbed all over with
grease; he is then taken to an ant hill, against
which he is placed and secured to the ground.
the ant hill is then broken and The ants left
to crawl over him, and eat his flesh from his
bones, which they do in time most efectually.
The lnquisition never invented torture so
horrible and lingering as this must be. Let
US remind the reader that the ants are
three times the size of those he is accus-
! toned to see in England. and their bite most
irritating and painful.

SMASHING TILE MACHINE.-We have
heard it intimated in political circles that
the machinery of the Douglasites in this
State is just now little out of order, there
being ga screw loose in the person of
one of the gentlemen composing their cleo
toral ticket 1t is said that he is Brock
inridge man, and that if chosen, be will
cast his vote accordingly. This is really
unfortunate. IF we supposed there were
any such distinguished honor in store for
the gentleman, as his election, we would
suggest to the friends of the ':Little Giant
that they withdraw said Electors name
from the ticket at once, and substitute
that of some one else who is ''sound on
the goose, and can be relied on every time.
In view Of the entire hopclessness of their
case, however, it is hardly worth while for
them to take any such action. As Toots
would say, its of no sort of consequence"
whether they do or not.

HE BRODERICK MURDER. latest
advces received the oath inst, from Cali
fornia, give the particulars of the trial, if
such it may be called, of Judge Terry, for
the killing of Senator Broderick in duel,
with the circumstances of which we pre-
sumo all our readers are familiar. The
case was called up in the Circuit Court of
Marin County on the 9th inst, and was
disposed of in such manner as to leave
no doubt that there was collision between
the prosecution and the defence to bring
about the acquittal Of Terry Upon the
opening of the Court the District Attor-
ney announced that his witnesses had not
yet made their appearance, whereupon the
case went to the jury without particle of
evidence on the part of the people, and of
course the result of the trial was an &C
quittal of the prisoner, the jury not leaving
their seats. 1t has been evident, from the
moment Terry took Broderick's life, that
he was to be allowed to escape the just
punishment that he deserved. IF there
ever was case of deliberate murder, this
was one, and if ever any one deserved hang
ing we think Judge Terry clearly did
The gallows has been unjustly cheated out
Of victim in the present instance to which
it was clearly entitled thus proving that
the supporters of Slavery, the democratic
party, will, not only coolly murder men for
honorably opposing slavery, but will con-
vert the Judiciary into an engine to shield
murderers. If they dared do it, thousands
Of Northern men would be murdered by
pro-slavery men, just as Broderick was and
for the same reason, and their murderers
would be shielded as Terry has BEEN

BgF At meeting of the city Council
in Milwaukee last Monday evening, res
olution was offered by one Of the democrat
ic members, that all proceedings against
Messrs. Gardner and Lynch, the late dem
ocratic Comptroller and city Clerk, who
are under indictment FOR forgery and en-
bezzlement of city orders, be discontinued
The vote upon it was equally divided, s
democrats voting in favor, and eight Re
pubiicans against it so the resolution was
declared lost. A democratic member sub
sequently moved to instruct the Clerk to
not include the rejected resolution in the
published proceedings, but the fact leaked
out nevertheless. The Sentinel says that
Gardiner has left the city, and probably
will not return. 1t also says that nothing
probably will ever be realized from his bail.
He was under S., 900 bonds.
