M'arthur Democrat. (McArthur, Vinton County, Ohio) 1853-1865, 1860-05-03
The Times London correspondent


says:
81 visited Heenan last night, 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, large portion Of
the British public, is loudly and ve-
hemently expressed.
"The ring was broken into by o
pack of thieves, who used the excuse
to rob every one. 1t was well known
that Mr.. Heenan would not DO allow
ed to carry the champion belt out Of
the country, and the Englishmen who
had bet their all on Sayers, as soon as
they found that their champion was
losing, resorted to tue most unfair
means, keeping Heenan back aud
pulling him down.
"a meeting of the Americans will
take place in London tonight, and you
may expeNto see some controversies
in the newspapers.
"Mr. George Wilkes will demand
the belt for Heenan, and will furnish
testimony to prove that he is entitled
to it. Ofone thing your readers may
be certain, Heenan's rights will be
maintained to the last"
The Tribune says: "a gentleman
now at the St. Nicholas, and who wit
messed the fight, says that when Zee.
nan had got SayerS into such posi-
Iion that he must inevitably have won
the battle, John Morrissey cut the
ropes and let Heenan fall to the
ground"

The ClInTIeslOn COnyentien

The Charleston Convention
On Monday last this body got thrO'
with the difficulties Of the platform
the trouble being that a majority of
the Committee on resolutions refused
to express the well known wishes OF
the majority ofthe convention. There
were three reports from the Commit
tee. The ole adopted is the Cincin.
natl Platform, with resolutions rela-
tive to the Dred Scott decision and
the protection Of the naturalzed citi.
zens abroad, both good sound planks
and will do for every American citi.
zen to stand upon.
The telegraph report states that
when the Convention rejected the re
port which favored Congressi onal in
terventiOn, several of tue extreme
Southern delegations withdrew. i
they had never entered the convention
it would have been abe to adjourn
last week, and no doubt a large ma
jority of the delegates were glaC
enough to see them take their hat
and retire.
tits a fortunate thing for the coun
try that the masses of the South are
true to the Union and to the grea
principles Of the Democratic party.
1t Is proper to state that portion
OF the delegates from South Carolina
Louisiana, Alabama and Arkansa
refused to withdraw from the conver
ton. Tennessee, Kentucky, Virgini
! and North Carolina did not withdrav
but were consulting.

MORMON WIvEs--"A FAIR SaAKE'
DEMANDED.-Brother Kimball, in one
Of his famous Mormon sermons, served
the following timely notice on a nun.
Der Of missionaries who were about
starting out on proselyting tour
"Ble ethren, want you to under
stand that it Is not to bo as has been
heretofore. The brother missionaries
have been in in the habit of picking
out the prettiest women for themselves
before they get here, aud bringing on
the ugliest ones for us; hereafter you
have TO bring them all here before
taking any of them, and let us all
have a fair shaAe."
The old reprobate then had atleast
a score of women whom he called
wives.

No .SIayc Codc-NO Slave Trade.

The Charleston Convention, after a
struggle ofseveral days, has rejected
by Il large majority platform squlnt-
ing at Congressional intervention to
protect slavery in the territories and
the re.opening Of the African Slave
trade. The demand of the nullifying
delegates fthe Southfor Congression-
al intervention after being pledged to
Non. intervention for the past ten
years, is the coolest piece of impu-
dence we have met with in q long
time, and before the meeting of the
Convention we could not believe that
such demand from any quarter wo'd
be seriously persisted in.

EEENAN AND SAVERS The great
prize fight between these two bruiserS
came off near Fernborough, England,
on the 18th. Forty rounds we're
fought, lasting two hours and eight
minutes, On the 4Oth round the des-
patch says, "Heenan got his arm
around Sayers neck and to all appear
ances was strangling him. Cries OF
"let him CO." were raised. Heenan,
however, stuck to his hold, and the
ring was broken in. The greatest
confusion prevailed, the umpire was
carried away in the throng and the
fight was prematurely brought to q
close, neither having been declared
the winner" So it seems than Hee
nan when about to secure the victory
was robbed of it by the Intervention
Of the crowd Of Eu glishmen who were
present, and who, of course, did no
relish the idea Of an American bear
ing of the Champions belt, -
