SBEIIABNRGER FOR CoNGREss.-The dele
gates to the Republican Convention of the
8th Congressional District. met at Urbana on
the I4th inst, and nominated Samuel Shella-
barger as their candidate for Congress. We
have no personal acquaintance with the nomi-
nee, but he is represented as an excellent man,
well qualified to fill the position for which he
has been chosen, and we shall give him our
hearty support.
The result of the Convention 10 regard to
Congressman, was just as we expected, and
Just as we all along said it would be, if the
vote of Union could not be cast as unit for
one man. In our county there was no COM
promise and the delegates went into the Con
vention divided on men Delaware was sim
Iarly situated, and being unable to come to
any compromise, our claims to the candidate
were not respected.
In addition to these difficulties which Union
and Delaware labored under, there appears to
be fossilized opinion among our brethren Of
the west end Of the District that about all the
brains lie in Clark, Champaign and Logan,
and until Delaware and Union can succeed
some way or other in dispelling the Illusion,
they may expect, should they remain. in the
same district, 10 stand back forty years longer.
We hold that it is right and proper, that
the representation in Congress should alter
nate in district composed of several coun
tics, especially when each county has the prop
er t4leut to ill ancil station, which we and
Delaware claim to have. It looks unjust to
say 10 US year after ycar-''Stand back, boys,
we'll furnish the candidates and you do the
work" 1t seems to US to look little selfish,
and we believe our western brethren them
selves. upon looking at the matter fairly, will
so admit.
Well now what? Why nothing. We
have huckled on the harness and we are going
to pull just usual, only we could not help i'll
timating how things looked to us. We will
help you through, gentlemen, with your cart,
and we will do our full share Of the pulling,
only try and be grateful to us for our services.

DouGEAs AsrAGoEIsM.-The Baltimore
P atriot we'll states some of the Inconsistencies
Of the Douglas party on the slavery question
as follows:
/. Equality of slave properly in the
territories with free lahor-and yet the su-
preme right of the white population in the ter
ritories TO destroy it.
9. The inexplicab.e right of the slavehold-
er TO carry his slaves into the territories and
keep them there, under the Dred Soft decision
and yet the supreme power of the territorial
settler to deprive him of that right under the
same decision.
3. The constitutional right of the South to
recover her fugitive slaves by the arm of the
Federal GoEeRnment--and yet the supreme
power of every State and territory 70 deprive
him Of thai right, under the doctrine Of Pora-
lar seyereignt y.

Row the Bite of a Dog Should be
Treated,

DR.. Stephen Ware, of Boston, in his testi-
mony in recent case which grew out of in
iuries from the bite of dog, furnished the
following valuable advice
In the case of the bite by a dog where the
teeth of the animal penetrated the flesh, wheth-
er the dog was known to be mad or not, he
should use the same precautions. He would
wash the wound with warm water, extract all
the virus possible by sucking the wound
with his lips and then cauterize it deeply with
the caustic most readily obtained, but should
use potash if it could be procured at ONCE
The time in which the effects of the bite of a
rabid dog would be seen, varied from two to
three days to as many years, but if no effects
were felt after two or three months as gener-
al thing the patient might feel himself safe
Bites made through clothing are seldom pro-
ductive of much harm. as even if the dog is
mad, the clothing absorbs the virus before the
teeth reach the flesh. Most of all the real
cases occurred where the person was bitten on
some naked part. Concerning the possibility
of cure in al real ease Of hydrophohia nothing
can be said

The Democracy have become SO thoroughly
satisfied of the election of Lincoln that they
are already engaged in the work of construct
ing Cabinet for him. One of their latest
arrangements is as follows:
VIM. FL. Seward, Secretary of State Fl.
Winter Davis, Attorney General John Sher-
man, Secretary of the Treasury; Cassius NJ.
Clay, Secretary of the Interior Benjamin
F. Wade, Secretary ofthe Navy; John Hicl-
man, Secretary of War; and Scuyler CoIfax,
Postmaster General.
These are all very good men, and would dis
charge the duties of their respective positions
with ability and fidelity but we doubt wheth-
er the Cabinet will be thus constituted Ohio
is great State and will give Lincoln a rous
ing majority still we incline to the opinion
that she is not likely to get more than one
Cabinet officer. The gallant Kentuckian,
CAssIUs M. CLAY, will in all probability
"come in" when the allotment is made, but
we should think he would be much more like
ly to be made Secretary of War than secre-
tary of the Interior

The London Critic reviews the speeches of
Abraham Lincoln. In the course of its arti-
Gle occurs the following passage: at is from
the speeches which Mr.. Lincoln has from time
to time delivered in opposition to Mr.. Doug
las, that we gather some idea of his mental
qualifications. We collect from the speeches of
Mr.. Lincoln that he has a mind rather of the
subtle order that he rather seizes upon great
and prominent facts and argues them to plain
conclusions, than builds up elegant but fanci-
ful theories upon the treacherous basis of fan
cifu speculation that he is earnest more than
passionate, and commanding more than per-
suasive. Indeed, every one of his speeches
which we have read bears upon the face of it
evidence that he is Honest Old Abe"

a Gloom over Texas.

The New Orleans Delta, of Sunday last
sends forth the following gloomy report of the
present agricultural condition of Texas:
No State has suffered so much from the
drouth as Texas. That rich State will not
produce enough grain TO supply the demand
of their own people, and actual famine is fear
ed in some portions of the country. Lands
that have produced as much as eighty bushels
of corn to the acre, will not yield twenty
bushels the present season. 1t is pitiable to
observe the appearance Of the farms-the
corn is witbered and destroyed. the grass on
the prairies is burnt to a crisp, and the stock
everywhere is pershiug for food and water
In some parts of the State there have
been no rain for seventeen weeks, and the heat
is more intense than has ever been known
The change in this prolific and beautiful land,
caused by heat and the absence of rain, is
such as to render the country scarcely recog-
nzable 1t is impossible to exaggerate the
damage.
