IMMENSE GATHERING OF THE ,PEOfI,

GREAT ENTHUSIASM.
The Cass County Republican. [volume] (Dowagiac, Mich.) 18??-1880, 1860-04-12

- We publish in another column
the bill introduced into the House of
Representatives by Mr.. Nelson, provi-
ding for the punishment of polygamy
in Utah. 1t has passed the House and
is now before the Senate. AS was ex-
pected, every Douglasite in the House
opposed the measure on the ground
that it interfered with the principles of
the Kansas Nebraska act, thus indi-
rectly voting in favor of polygamy,
which plainly shows that the "Popu-
lar Sovereignty" branch of the locofo,
co party are to man in favor of the
many wived institution.
We think no better argument is
needed to show the utter folly and i'm
practicability of Douglas great prin-
ciple" than the Utah abomination.
Every thinking man in the country
must plainly see that should this doc
trine become the established policy of
our Government, Utah could be and
must be admitted into the Union with
the domestic institution" of polygamy.
This was the logical, the necessary, the
inevitable result and application of the
&c great principle"

The Adcertiser says that returns Civ
ing the result of the township elections
on Supervisors in :wenty-three counties
have been received, and they cannot
but be satisfactory to the Republicans.
If they are to the leaders of the slave
Democracy, so.much the better 1t
proves how little it takes to satisfy
them in this State, and that they pos
sess the virtue of gratitude in greater
degree than the public had supposed.
In these twenty-three counties the Re-
publicans have elected 2ss Supervisors
to 143 slave Democrats. They have
lost six towns which they had last year,
and have carried seventeen towns in
which the slave Democracy then sue
ceeded. This is net Republican gain
as far as heard from, or as far as any
indications have been given of the re-
suit year ago of IL. There are not
far from twenty organized counties
from which only partial returns, or
none at all, have been received.
Amongst the former are Branch, Cen
esee, Livingston, Maconb, Midland
Muskegon, Montcalm, Monroe Neway-
90, Ottawa, st. Clair, Sanilac, Tuscola,
and Wayne; and amongst the latter,
the counties in the Upper Peninsula,
and some of the sparsely settled coun-
ties of the lower. When the complete
returns have been received they will
show net Republican gain since last
year of about fifteen Supervisors-cer-I
tainly not less than ten, and that the
have elected more than
two-thirds of the whole number. This
is what is claimed to be "great Demo-
cratic gains!''

The Homestead Bill at the South.

The Charleston Mercury, Richmond
Wing, and other southern journals
have already taken decided stand
against the Homestead bill. The
Washington correspondent of the first
named paper denounces the bill, that
it will be availed of by emigrants from
the North far more than from the South.
A southern planter has no motive to
leave his own country, and incur the
expense, risk and trouble of taking his
slaves with him into a remote region,
while thousands and tens of thousands
at the North are ready at all times to
avail themselves of the chance. The
influx of foreigners, he says, is the
sole cause of the more rapid growth of
the North over the South, and although
attended with some advantages, he
thinks it has beyond all question done
much to demoralize the Democratic
party. The adopted citizen will note
in this, an unhesitating disposition on
the part of the STAKEHOLDER to deprive
him of free homestead, assigning az
a reason that slavery will be more
prosperous for such deprivation.

The Washington correspondent of
he New Orleans Crescent says:

The Washington correspondent of
the New Orleans Crescent says:
Some time ago young man was
discharged from a public office of re-
sponsibility in this city, on plain proofs
of having robbed the Government of
some five or six thousand dollars. The
money had been squandered on a pros
titute; and, when the young man was
confronted with proofs of his guilt, he
did not hesitate to acknowledge it. He
was admitted to bail in the sum of &c.
600. The bail was no sooner given
than the young man left for Europe.
Through the influence of friends near
the Government the matter was hushed
up, and the bail was not prosecuted.
1t was nothing but stray bail at best,
and the Government connived at its
forfeiture. This was bad enough in
country of equal laws; it was a fla
grant injustice. But in excess Of this
the fact is well ascertained that the flu
gitive in Europe has been provided
with an Office at the expense of the
Government in Washington! He is

a consular Office in delightful retire.

the Government of the United States?
Comment is unnecessary nor would

for their connection with grave public
interests, and the full satisfaction tn at
has been given me that they are as
stated.

The human blood hounds in Madison
county, Kentucky, who have already
driven out of that State whole COM
munity of its people for no reason ex-
cept that they questioned the divinity
of slavery, have threatened the Hon.
Casius M. Clay, it seems, with similar
treatment, because he also questioned
the divinity of the "peculiar institu-
tion,'' Or, rather, because he is Re-
publican, declaring himself opposed to
the farther extension of the institution.

The Democracy VS.. Free Homesteads.


1t is now certain that the Homestead
bill which passed the House of Repre-
sentatives-which bill gives 100 acres
to ALL bona tide settlers, and allows
them to locate on ALL lands open to
pre-emption-cannot pass the demo-
cratic Senate. The democrats of the
Senate have substituted the proscrip-
tive measure introduced by Senator
Johnson, of Tennessee. This bill con-
fines the selection of homesteads to al
ternate sections; denies the right to
settle on lands along the lines of the
railroads to which government lands
have been donated; requires that a
foreigner shall reside IN this country
.Jfce gears and be a naturaHzed citizen
before he can have the right to select
homestead, and denies the right alto
gether to any. foreigner rho may come
into this country after the passage of
the BILL
We ask our adopted citizens to bear
in mind the fact that the democratic
party is arrayed against the bene6cent
measure of donating lands to the set
tier, and is endeavoring to effect its
defeat by making unjust discrimina-
tons against the foreigners.
1t is possible that the Republicans
may accept the Senate bill, on the
ground that it is better than nothing.
and the best that can be carried through
a democratic Senate. looking to the
future for the power to adopt more
liberal Homestead bill.

More ChivaIrv.

There was an exciting time in the
House of Representatives on Thursday
last, on the occasion of most scathine
speech by Mr.. Lovejoy, of Illinois, on
Mr.. Nelson's Bill to punish polygamy
in Utah. Mr.. Lovejoy, while speaking,
had gradually and apparently without
generalization moved towards the
"Democratic' side of the House, ges-
ticulating freely, often with his clenched
fist above his head, as his manner is.
This greatly enraged the Southern
members, who threatened him with
personal violence, unless he went to his
seat. A fight was at one time immi-
nent, but Lovejoy defed the whole
crew.
The Sergeant-at-Arms was called in,
and order was finally restored. Love-
joy resumed his speech in the same
emphatic strain, holding his position
near the Clerks desk. He was fire.
quently interrupted by the ire-eaters
with insulting remarks, such as "ras-
cal, j" ''perjured villain 'negro thief"
''perjured negro" &C., and to cap the
1climax of their ruffianism and brutality,
Martin, of Va, declared that if they
had him in Virginia they would hang
him higher than they did John Brown.
We rejoice that it did not have the eff
feet to deter Mr.. Lovejoy from defend
ing, and exercising the freedom of
speech on the floor of the House, and
that Republican members so promptly
evinced their readiness to stand by him
and this sacred right. The courage
shown by Mr.. L., under such trying
circumstances as surrounded him emit
tied him to the respect and confidence
of every lover of freedom and free
speech in the Union. 1t will have the
effect to prevent repetition of these at
tempts to overawe Northern members,
or we are mistaken. Their policy is to
bully only-or at least, not to fight un-
less the advantage is all on their side.

XW A disgraceful fracas occurred
in caucus of Democratic Senators at
Washington recently, between Senator
Clingman, of N. c., and Senator Clay,
of Ala. Clay made an insulting re-
mark, to which Clingman retorted.
That's lie!' To which Clay re-
sponded with blow. Thereupon
Clingman knocked him down. Sena-
tors Toombs and Davis seized Cling
man, and, while holding him, Clay
gave him black eye.

The Printing Corrnntion.

The Committee on Public Expendi-
lures, are doing good work in ferret
ing out and exposing the frauds of the
Administration in connection with the
Printing. AT meeting of that Com
mittee on the 21st inst, Mr.. Haskin,
the chairman, examined Mr.. Rives of
the Globe, and Mr.. Heart, Supreinten-
dent of Public Printing, the latter as
to his failure to comply with the law of
Congress requiring him to open the
bids and give the contract out to the
lowest bidder. 1t appears that shortly
after Mr. Heart testified before the
Com. on Public Expenditures, where
he was called to an occount for not Civ
ing out the contracts for the Post office
blanks printing to the lowest bidder,
as required by law, he opened the bids
and the following extraordinary state
of facts appeared: Jewett and Thorn
as Of Buffalo, bid 944 per cent less
than the present rates, agreeing to do
for five and three quarter cents, work
that has been done for one dollar.
Joseph T. Crowell, who has done the
Post Office blanks printing for fourteen
years, bid ninety-three cents less than
the present rates, agreeing to do for Z
cents what he had been doing for one
dollar. Larcamb 81 English bid eighty
six per cent less than the present rates.
Fifteen others bid each more than fifty
per cent less than the work has been
done for. This develops the amount
of plumber that has for years existed in
the executive department of the pub
lie printing. As the Post Office blanks
printing has cost forty-fve thousand
dollars per annum heretofore, under
the new law there will be saving of
about forty one thousand dollars.

Mr.. English, their candidate for Lieu

or ten hundred went to rejoice with

Mr.. English thanked them for electing
him, told them they might have elected
better man, but he would take the
office, and do his best to discharge its
duties. Then the crowd hurrahed and
Mr.. English invited them into the Ton
