qualities wanted.
Mr. 6HAMBERLN is, in the first place, u

through that channel He is proverbially
honest and upright; nobody ever questioned
his integrity in any private or public trust
Very few men probably understand as we'll as
he what the canals themselves require, and
what is demanded BY the interest Of the State
in their management The choice beyond
doubt should be Of some man within the as

nc Democrntic DIsnrreements.

The n. Y. Journal of Commerce is a demo-
cratic organ in good standing, and its WASH
ington correspondence is claimed to be relia-
BILE In late letter from Washington to that
paper, the following account Of the present
position Of affairs in the Democratic party is
given:
"There is a rumOr here, and perhaps not
without foundation, that the friends Of Mr..
Douglas, who claim ia votes in the Balti-
more Convention, intend to press his nOmina-
ton without regard to the two-thirds rule,
and it is said that the New York delegation
will unite in this movement. Further, it is
said that while Mr.. Douglas has a majority
vote, he win be pressed even to the rupture
of the Convention. ] find that many
anticipate this result, and the consequent
nomination of Mr.. Douglas by the majority
Of the Convention, and separate nomination
at Richmond. Should this be the case, and
Douglas should carry any States, and if q
majority Of Democratic electors should be
chosen, the Electoral College might throw
their entire vote on the Richmond nominee,
and elect him, without the hazard of scuffle
between three candidates in the House Of
Representatives
But there is some danger that the Conven-
ton at Baltimore viii not be organized, owing
to the clashing claims of Southern delegates
to seats in the place of the seceders. In this
event, also, the Douglas delegates viii, it is
believed, nominate him.
The friends of Mr.. Douglas here, and, as
understand, elsewhere, persist in the declara-
ton and belief that if Douglas be not nomi-
mated, no one can be except Lane or Breck-
enridge or Hunter, and that either of these
viii certainly be defeated. Mr.. Guthrie, they
say, cannot be nominated-but that remains
to be seen. So, they say, that the party is to
be defeated with any candidate but Douglas,
and they deem ii eKpedient to preserve the
democratic party organization, in their own
States, and to attempt the recovery of some
in their own States, by the use of Douglas
name, as a candidate, Independently of the
Richmond nomination. But they should
consider that any breach in the party now
will be difficult Of repair hereafter, and that
a defeat now would not encourage much
hope of q victory in 1861

The CoYode Commitiee Is deing great
business in opening Che Democratic whited
sepulchres. Tie latest exposure Of political
rot.enneR they have brought to light is that
d .he Hon. s, s. Coz, Of the Columbus dis
tiei. It viii be recollected that Mt. Cox in
the earlier stages Of the L0compton iniquiiy
wls wonderful word valorous against the
ulonstrOas fraud the President was determined
% flrca upon Congress and kansas, and that
he saadenly chopped round and voted for the
English Bin.
Tha reasons for the sudden conversion
were suspected at the time, which was followed
- certain rsmariable changes in the Coluul-
bus Post Office. Mr. Wilson, democratic
son-hs-laW of Gov Msdary, has been before
the CovOSs COMMITTEES, and under oath put
Sam Cox in bad box. He disclosed that a
few days befAre the passage of the English
Bill hs carried 3 message from the late Post
Master General Brown to Mr.. Cox, to the
effect that if Cox would support that meas
uge it would place him a high position Of
favor with the Administration The answer
Of Mr. Cox, asking time to consider, was
borne back to Postmaster General Brown
Cox considered, instead Of booting the cor
rupting emissary from his presence. Cox
had bis price, and after due consideration
toak It and voted for the bill he had just
turnsd bis indignant nose up at. Mr.. Miller,
the friend of Cox, who had been removed
toom the Post Office at atCoiumbus, was restored
in. consideration of that vote. Subsequently
the Administration did Cox the further favor
to exert al is influence to promote his re-
election 70 Congress, and the effort was sue
csssfuL
So sWears, in substance, Col. Wilson, for
merly Chief Clerk in the Columbus Post
Oaice, and also confidential Agent of the
Administration to Mobile to aid in arresting
Walkers flibustering expedition. If Mr.
Cox cannot get out Of the bad box by con
yicting Col Wilson Of perjury, he ought to
be consigned to the democratic political
mummy chamber at once He smells bad

Political Items.

The Richmond Enquirer urges that the
Richmond Convention should await the ac-
ton of the Baltimore Convention, and says it
is the wish Of the Virginia Democracy.
The Baltimore Patriot anticipates that in
the event that Douglas is nominated by the
Baltimore Convention, then the Richmond
Convention viii put their man in the field
The more the merrier.
The National Intelligencer says there were
two thousand people at the Republican meet
iRgin Washington City to ratity the Chicago
nominations. That viii do pretty ven fol

ent sheet with Douglas pr6clivities, has ta-

Counrerfelrinr Rrands 81 Flour.


The PrOprietOrs Of certain extensive Flour
ing Mills have taken great pains to establish
a high character for the -four bearing their
brands, and with eminent success. The
brand of their mills is sought EoF, and the ex-
oellence and uniformity Of the quality of their
manufacture command steady market and
extra price. CustOmersknow what they buy,
and families use the same brand for successive
years. The City Mills of Cleveland may be
named as a notable sample Of this class
For some time past manufacturers. Of far
vorite brands have suspected, and with good
reason, that their brands were being counter
feited, and an inferior article pal1ned upon the
public as the genuine 'fEktra" Yesterday
a Flour Merchantiu this city was detected in
the rascality OF sending twenty-five barrels
bearing the counterfeit brand of the City
Mis- into thecounry for sale. When caught,
he owned up and begged of piteously. We
withhold bis name for the present.
This species Of counterieiting is of the
baset sort and the surest way to guard
against the imposition IS to purchase -four di-
rectly st the Mills or of their accredited agents.
The counterfeit not only pObs the honest
manufacturer Of his good name, but renders
impure the staff Of life, to the distaste of
the palate and the injury of digestion and
health. It is a crime against the general
veal, and merits condign punishment.

seIzing a white Girl for a slave,

1t has got so that lack Of color is no safe
guard against the rapacity of slave traders in
this bOasted free land. The St. ,Josephs Dem
Ocrat of May 18th, relates the following re-
cent case of forcing a white girl into slave
ry under the accursed fugitive act, in that
Missouri city. Recolleet the account is from
reliable paper published in Slave State
The Democrat says;y o q
One of those strange, but not very unfre-
queRt occurrences in the different phases Of
the ''peculiar institution, happened in our
city last Saturday Upon the evidence of two
very respectable and disinterested gentle
men (?) residents of our city, girl about
eighteen or twenty years of age, and whom
our heighbOr of the Gazette says 1.-THE best
judges might mistake for white woman, u
was arrested as a fugitive slave. What seems
to be d little strunge in the case, is the fact of
her having lived in the city for several months
in prominent citizens family as free white
servant girl, and no one ever suspecting or
possibly thinking her a fugitive, from bond
age, and yet remaining in Slave State. But
for some time previous to her arrest she had
resided in Belmont Kansas, where she was
taken for a white woman, and treated with
that same deefrence shown to all other white
women by civilized people.r However, upon
the afidavfts Of those two worthless, who, it
SCENE, were acquainted with her in Lexing-
ton, where, it is alleged, she belonged to one
Tut, the officers of our city proceeded to make
the arrest. Upon seeing the girl and ques-
tioning her, they could net persuade them
selves that she was slave, and refused to
make the arrest, and sent for the Marshal
He, forced by his duty, performed the painful
and humiliating act. We understand that
she was taken into safe keeping, and Mr.. Tut
telegraphed for, who came, claimed her as his
property, paid the disinterested worthless who
showed such a disinterested kindness, and
took her away quietly. Of course it is all
right, and even ifthe girl is white, intelligent
and pretty as most young ladies, and even
claimed to be from Illinois, and could give
references, denying ever. being a slave, what
right has she tobe heard when two respectable
worthy pro-slavery men say they know her to
