During debate in the House of Repre-
sentatives, on Friday last, in relation to the
public printing, the subject OF SO much IN
trigue and wire pulling, and the "spoiss"
of which are considered, it would appear,
fair game tor which every side can get the
advantage to the shame of the country, and
those engaged in the traffic, Mr.. Hassin took
very exalted grounds upon the moral prop :
stion, but let down most lamentably upon
pertinent inquiry from Mr, llndman -
"Mr Haskin said the design Of the rssoiu,
ton was to give to the printer OF the House
the patronage which legtimately belongs to
him. lie was In favor of government
printing office, to stop the Infamous plumber
which eorrupts Us much the Democratic as
the Republican party. He spoke of the
profits which Gen. Bowman realizes, and
repeated that the printer of the House
should have the patronage which balongs to
that body. Mr.. Hindmau inquired whether
one Of the Republican candidates for printer
did not propose portion OF the profits
should be applied TO party purposes. Mr.
Haskin replied in the Affirmative, adding
that the proposition defeated the candldats.
Mr. Hindman inquired whether, notwith-
standing, the indiyiyidasl was nominated,
and whether Mr. Haskin dia not vote for
him in caucus Mr. Haskin said il was
called conference. But having attended
it, he felt bound 10 stand by the nominee
and was treated as al ally aud not US par
ty man." Itappears therefore, that though
one Of the Republican candidates Tor printer
dill propose portion OF the profits should
be applied to party purposes" Mr.. Has

The Minnesota Traitors.

The Democracy of Minnesota are in arms at
the tpeachery of the two delegates from that
State who deserted Douglas at Charleston. At
mass meeting at st. Paul, their course was
severely denounced and other mass meetings
in other places have added their condemnation
of the treachery. Meetings are being called
to swell the censure. At Red Wing large
mass meeting was held on the return of dele
gate, Hon. W. w. Phelps, and the following
among other resolutions passed:
eResolved, That as to those of our delegates
who, forgetting themselves, their honor and
the people, became, the willing tools of cor
rurt and unscrupulous Administration, TO de-
feat the popular will, we have only to say that
we leave them to their own consciences and to
the ignominy attaching to the betrayal of a
political trust, voluntarily assumed.
"ReSolUed, That our confidence in, admiration
of, and affection for Stephen A. Douglas, are
but strengthened and increased by the unhal-
lowed efforts and combinations made atCharles-
ton to defeat him and the Democracy of the
nation that the reasons for his nomination n
have day by day multiplied, until it is no
longer choice between candidates, but be-
tween success with Douglas and defeat with
another, and that hence the duty of support.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
The Popular Indignation in Pennsyl-
vania-Bigler and Dawson Burnt in
Efigy.

The Democratic masses of the Old Keystone
State are aroused by the outrageous conduct
of many of their representatives at Charles
ton. Nineteen-twentieths of the people are
in favor of Douglas and the Cincinnati Plat
form; yet their delegates, knowing the fact,
voted against Douglas and for a slave-code.
The consequence is, public meetings are being
held in almost every county in the State to
give vent to the public indignation. So great
is the evaporation that, in some instances
the delegates have been burnt in efigy. The
following resolutions were passed, among 9th
St. Clair and South Fayette township, Allie.
ghany County, Pennsylvania, on the evening
of the 10th of May:
"Resolved, That We call upon the traitors
Bigler, Dauson, PLumrr Baker, and our dear
| ly beloved Edward Campbell, Jr., and James A.
lGibson-to either reflect our wishes in Nation
al Convention, or appoint substitutes, who
will let our outraged Democracy take into
their own hands and ignore the acts Of dele
cations and Conventions; for what is nomi

tell you plainly that the only nomination the

States; and we will also inform you, merely
for your own benefit, Ono odds how anxious you
are to serve your mastery that the power is in
our hands, not in yours, and that our voices
shall be heard, in spite of unprincipled pol;ti-
clans and Office e-holders.
I "Resolued, That John L. Dawson misrepre-
sented the wishes of his constituents most
grossly; as we know that nine-tenths, if not
all but himself and very few wire-pullers,
are the friends of Stephen A. Douglas and the
Cincinnati Platform, yet Dawson is found act
| ing in concert with Yancey and other seceders,
traitors to the Democratic pacty and the
Union.
"Resolred, That we now commit the efigies
of John L. Dawson and William Bigler tothe
devouring element of fire, as terror to dis
senters and traitors, wherever they may be
found in the Democratic party"
