Subject tp the decision of the Democratic National Convention, to be holelcn at Charleston, South Carolina..

THE ILLINOIS ELECTION. The clcction returns from this State up to the hour of going to press, indicate the Boccess'iof the Democratic ticket. The Democracy have, as far as heard from, majorities in both branches of the Legislature. -x

W We notice that Gov. Willard has issued a proclamation for the observance of ft day of public thanksgiving and prayer. Thursday the 25th of the present month is the day set for the sovereigns of Hoosierdom to offer up prayers and thanks. As a general thing very little attention is paid to these proclamations. It is a custom that bad its origin among the long-faccd, hypocritical Puritans of New England we arc dccidcdly opposed to our Governor issuing- these Puritanical Bulls. Let the people of Indiana thank thoir Creator when it. best suits them, without any Papal or Puritanical commands.

W8T The following persons, by calling at this officc, will hear of something to their interest:

Benjamin or George Miles. John Ucuricks. Heirs of Alexander Montgomery.

Andrew Bowen. JacoL Wcstfall. James Arbutt.

His defenders ha^e often prayed 4o sec a nigger biilbrt a court-Of Republican partisans. Political America, infaet.has been patiently waiting such an event. .Would Republican judges,' reversing "the Dreld Scott''decision, dare clothe "ftdeMendant of Afneah parents" with social arid Apolitical rights equal to the white man's That has been the question.

At last an answer is at hand." 'The other day a full blown son of Africa entered the office of one of the Lake steamers at Detroit, and demanded a ticket as a cabin passenger. The clcrk refused. Darkie hurried off and brought suit fordamages he was beaten. Thereupon some of his indignant "equality" 'friends app&ftAhis case to the Supreme Court of th^Wile of Michigan. That Court is composed of redhot Republicans, promoted to their high places, doubtless, on account of their oft expressed horror of Taney's decision.—• Now, indeed, the big, purple, legal boil oh the otherwise healthy body politic was to be lanced-—the venerable Chief Justice was to be blown higher than the poor wretch whom the balloon lately whisked up to parts unknown above the clouds— the inalienable political rights of "ye darkies" would be asserted—at last the three millions of unhappy Victor Hugo's from Ethiopa had found "friends at Court."

A white man, though a foreigner,'undoubtedly has aright to a ticket as cabin passenger on any of the Lake boats and if refused it upon a tender of the established fare, he can undoubtedly recover damages in any court of competent jurisdiction.— If the rights of a negro are equal to the white man's, his right to damages are indisputable. This was the question now to be settled by the Republican Judges of the Supreme Court of Michigan. If the judgment below was sustained, and it was decided that "ye darkie" had no legal right to a ticket in the steamer, the Dred Scott case would be thrown into the shade for in that, the mere political status of the ebony gentleman was settled in this Michigan suit, both his legal and social status was fully determined. The doors of the prop er court would not close upon a European, not a citizen, asking redress under the circumstances if they close upon a negro, and he is coolly told, "Go about your business you've no right to a passage across the lake in the steamer, nor in anything else the law don't know you at all"—then has he any political, legal, or social position in America?

Well, when this question arose before the Michigan Judges, wc doubt not, it was uglier to their visions than Bauquo's ghost was to the ej'es of the murderer. Th gentleman were in office they were under oath yery different was an "opinion" now to a vapid assertion on the street corners or in a bar-room., Should the' law be thrown down to accommodate the demands of a political party? Or should the solemn decision of the Supreme Court of the United States be spit upon and nullified to accommodate a negro impudently aspiring to a citizen's privileges under the Constitution

How did they dccide They turned the negro away they told him in effect, "You have uo rights the law don't know you you are, in the eyes of the law, a myth, a shade not a cent of damages will we give you. G'laug!" And not a cent did he get.

Now, there is a certain venerable ex judge resident in our little village, who is almost a monomaniac over the Dred Scott decision it being, in his opinion, only a little less iniquitous than the principle of Popular Sovereignty. The excellent old gentleman spends whole days in abusing Taney on account of his opinion, and the Democracy because they have refused to make war on it. What does the worthy gent think of the Michigan Judges?— "Ahem-a-ahem!"

Indeed, what docs the whole Republican party think of them Was Taney right or wrong Is a negro a citizen What will our Quaker population think of Republicans on the bench Hollow—all hollow! Vive la humbug! Vive la—Jim Wilson

Still, if ther dividing ^policy. is to be adopted, ire can see no objection to die1location of .one at Lafayette and one at Indianapolis. Our town, will agree to give thein both honest wardens while no. one doubts the ability* bf each of those cities to' furnish its own institution full ft thousand thieves ready made, like slop-shop clothing.

One further suggestion to ,our Lafayette friends. Let them be sure to turn the sewer from their Artesian well through the heart of their big jail: a more diabolical punishment could not be invented. Thieves will commit suicide before undergoing the horrors of a sccond term in those walls.— A year on the brink of the Styx would be preferable to a day on the edge of that infernal sewer, haunted by stinks insufferable and sublime. ifi •, u'i'

J9"During our visit to Lowell we were shown through the Labratory of our celebrated countryman, Dr. J. C. Aycr.— Scarcely could we have believed what is seen there without proof beyond disputing.

They consume a barrel of solid Pills, about 50,000 doses and 3 barrels of Cherry Pectoral, 120,000 doses per diem. To what an inconceivable amount of human suffering does this point! 170,000 doses a day!! Fifty millions of doses per year!!!-— What acres and thousands of acres of sick beds does this spread before the imagination! And what sympathy and woe! True, not all of this is taken by the very sick, but alas, much of it is. This Cherry Drop and this sugared Pill are to be the companion of pain and anguish and sinking sorrow— the inheritance our mother Eve bequeathed to the whole family of man. Here the infant darling has been touched too early by the blight that withers half our race.— Its little lungs are affected and only watching and watching and waiting shall tell which way its breath shall turn.. This red drop on its table is the tallisman on which its life shall hang. There the blossom of the world just budding into womanhood is stricken also. Affections most assiduous care skills not, she is still fading away.— The wan messenger comes nearer and nearer every week. This little mcdiciment shall go there, perhaps their only hope.— The strong man has planted in his vitals, this same disease. This red drop by his. side is helping him wrestle with the inexorable enemy: the wife of his bosom and the cherubs of his heart are watting in sick sorrow, and fear lest the rod on whieh they, lean in this world, be broken.

O Doctor! Spare no skill, nor cost, nor toil to give the perishing sick the best that human art oan give.-—Galpestun (Texas,) NewsJi ,vnr *'1 a -n-

The hostile design of this expedition is rendered manifest by the fact, that these bonds and contracts can be of no possible value to their holders, unless the present government of Nicaragua shall be overthrown by force. Besides, the Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of that government in the United States had issued a notice, iu pursuance of his instructions, dated twenty-seventh instant, forbidding the citizens or subjects of alienation, except passengers intending to proceed to Nicaragua over the transit route, from ocean to ocean, to enter its territory without a regular' passport, signed by the proper Minister ,or Corisul-Gcneral of the Republic, resident in the country from whence they, shall have departed. Such persons, with.this exception, will bo stopped and compelled to return by the salue conveyance that took them to the country.

From these circumstances, the inference is irresistible that persons engaged'in this expedition will,leave the United States with hostile purposes against Nicaragua. They can not uuder the guise they have assumed, that they are peaceful emigrants, conceal their real intentions, and especially when they know in advance,, that their landing will be resisted, and can only be accomplished by an overpowering force.— This expedient was successfully resorted to previous to the last expedition, and the vessel in which those coipposing it were conveyed to Nicaragua, obtained a clearance from the Collector of the Port of Mobile. Although after a careful examination no arms or munitions of war were discovered on board, yet when they arrived in Nicaragua, they were found to be armed and equipped, arid immediately commcnced hostilities.

The leaders of former illegal expeditions of the same character, have openly expressed their intentions to renew hostilities against Nicaragua. One of these, who has already been twice expelled from Nicaragua, has invited, through the public newspapers, American citizens to emigrate to that Republic, and has designated Mobile as the place of rendezvous and departure, and San Juan del Norte the place to which they are bound. This person who lias renounced his allegiancc to the United States, and claims to be President of Nicaragua, has given notice to the Collector of the port of Mobile that two or three hundred of these emigrants will be prepared to embark from that port about the middle of November.

For these and other good reasons, and for the purpose of saving American citizens who may have been honestly deluded into the belief that they are about to proceed to Nicaragua as peaceful emigrants, if any there be, from disastrous consequences, to which they will be exposed. I, James Buchanan, President of the United States, have thought it fit to issue this, my proclamation, enjoining upon all officers of the government, civil or military, in their respective spheres, to be vigilant, active and faithful in suppressing these illegal enterprises, in carrying out their standing instructions to that effect, exhorting all good citisen by their respect for the laws, and their regard for the peace and welfare of the country to aid the publir authorities in discharging their duties.

In testimony whereof, Ihave set my hand and caused, the seal of the [SEAL] '. United States to be affixed to these^ presents. Done at the City of Washington, this, the thirtieth day of October,-1858, and of the ^Independence of the United States the eightythird. By the President: JAMES BUCHANAN. -LEWIS CASS,Secretaryof State.

THE PKESDENT'S PROCLAMATION WASHINGTON, Saturday, Oct. 30. Whereas information has reached me from sources which I cannot disregard, that ccrtain persons in violation of the neutrality laws of the 1'nited States, are making a third attempt to set on foot a military expedition within their territory against Nicaragua, a foreign State with which they are at peace. In order to raise money for equipping and maintaining this expedition, persons connccted therewith, as I have reason to believe, have issued and sold bonds and other contracts pledging the public land in Nicaragua and transit route through its territory as a security of their redemption and fullfilment.

I' strenuously protested against such proceedings, btit to no avail. This sort of voting went on fot about half an hour, when thtere was added to it another mode, viz. That of voting from hacks and omnibuses—a means by which more7 gross outrages are perpetrated On tlie elective franchise than probably atiy other that could be adopted, for in nearly every Case,- two to three times as many ballots were taken as there were persons in the hacks, and there can be no doubt of the illegality of almost the entire number of those that were in them, to say nothing of the repetition of voting. This mode of voting was carried on toan extent incredulous to state. While those who wished to vote a ticket other than those marked on the back, except in a few instances, were not allowed to vote at all. I saw -in more than a dozen instances a person come to the fence in the front of the window, holding a ticket in each hand, both of which were taken and put in the box, the person giving some names, no doubt assumed, as they voted.— Men from other wards, known to the judges, came up and had no difficulty in voting.— I determined to leave the window and have nothing more to do with the clcction as judge.

I took a scat in the back part of the room, and witnessed a continued repitition of voting of by the same persons until their faces, which I had never seen before that day, became as familiar as the sun.— From notes taken then, I am sure I would not exceed the bounds of truth were I to say that the same person voted in the Eighteenth Ward on that day, eighty to one hundred times, and certainly as often as he wished. I know the people pretly wcll in my ward, having lived there for the last eight years, and I am confident not more than one thousand legal votes were polled then although the returns show nearly thirty-two hundred, and I am sustained in this by facts collected since the election, viz: In some six blocks, which 1 canvassed, containing about one hundred and twenty voters, one hundred did not vote, and I have no reason to think this other than a fair average in the ward. I left the room about three o'clock, and did not return—consequently gave what I knew to be a farce and gross fraud no sanction by my signature. I now leave the matter to my friends and the public to s:iv whether or not I stand as one of the perjured judges, and whether, under the circumstances, I did right in leaving. &c.

Judge of Election for Eighteenth Ward. Baltimore, October 23, 1858. If snch outrages had occurred in Kansas, the Fusion press would have made a deafening outcry but, as they cau attain no political capital out of the Baltimore villanies, which were committed by their own partisan, they are silent. Our cotcinporary of the Journal has been entirely silent in regard to this election. For aught its readers know it was fairly and houcstly conductcd.

Cook in company with two other young men, named Seiter and Swift, entered the house about nine o'clock on the evening in question, and Seiter taking offense at some remarks made by the unfortunate Kate, made an assault upon her. She repelled him with fury, and was getting the better of him, when Coook came to the assistance of his friend, when he received a blow in the forehead with a spittoon from the hands of Kate B., and drawing a knife he stabbed her in the left side. She fell to the floor and in fifteen minutes was a corpse. Cook and Seiter are in jail. Swift has been discharged.

THEY MAKE OLD BOURBON OUT OF

CORN WHISKY.—The St. Joseph (Mo.) is responsible for the following:. A few weeks since, Messrs. Baker, Woodson & Co., of St. Joseph, Mo., shipped hundred and twenty-five barrels of corn whisky to parties in St. Louis. It was delivered at that port-, and the boat remaining there a day or two for a return cargo, the identical barrels, shipped there as corn whisky, at the usual price for that article, were again placed on board, to come back again, having been in the meantime, rebranded as "Old Rye" and 'Old Bourbon.' While the barrels wero laying upon the levee, one of the proprietors of the Sterling Mills ef St. Joseph happened to be aboard of the boat, when the Captain remarked to him that there were the same barrels that he brought down ready to be shipped beck, the brand having been changed as above. Upon examination the private mark of Messrs. Baker, Woodson & Co.,- was found upon them. Thus, by a process known to dealers in St. Louisj and not laid down in the books upon distilling, this.common corn whisky was metamorphosed into 'Old Rye' and "Old Bourbon.'

A LITTLE DIFFICULTY IN THE WAY.

An enterprising travelling agent for a well known Cleveland tombstone manufac tory lately made a business to a small town in an adjoining county. Hearing in tho village that a man in a remote part of tho township had lost his wife, he. thought ho would go and see him, and offer him consolation, a grave stone, on his usual reason* able terms. IIo started. The road was a horribly frightful one, but the agent persevered, and finally arrived at the bereaved man's house. Bereaved man's hired girl told the agent that the bereaved man was splitting fence rails "over in the pastur about two miles."

The indefatigable agent hitchcd his horse nnd started for the "pastur." After falling into all manner of mud holes, scratching himself with briars and tumbling over decayed logs, the agent at length foun^ the bereaved man. In a subdued voice ho asked the man if he had losthis wife.— The man said he had. The agent was very sorry to hear it, and symyathized with the man very deeply in his great affliction but death, he said, was an insatiate archer, and shot down all of both high and low degree. Informed the man that "what was her loss was his gain," and he would be glad to sell him a grave stone to mark the spot where the beloved one slept—marble or common stone, as lie chose, at prices defying competition. The bereaved man said there was a "little difficult}- in the way." Ilav'nt you lost your wife? inquired tho agent.— "Why, yes, I have," said the man, "but no grave stun ain't necessary but you sec tho critter ain't dead. She's scooted with another man The ascnt retired.

OF .SOAJNAMR.UMSW—

A Father Walks into the River with a Child in his Arms—Both arc Drowned.-— One of the most awful results of sleep walking of which wc have heard for along time, transpired at the Upper Ferry landing, St. Louis, during the night of Friday, the 29(h ult. In the early part of tho evening a farmer, named John Bray, from Indiana, who was removing to some point on the Missouri River, with his wife, fath-er-in-law and four children, came in on the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad. Being in straitened circumstances, the family obtained permission to stop for the night in a small room on the ferry dock at the foot of Carr-strcet. Between twelve and ono o'clock in the night Bray arose, in his sleep, and taking his youngest child, aged three years, in his arms, actually walked from the room and into the water. Tho piteous, wailing cries of the child, and the loud calls of the father for help, soon drew a number of persons to the melancholy scene from adjacent places on the levee. The frantic grief of the family partook of the incoherence and wildness of the maniac, and is described to be of the most heart-rending description. Before ingenuity could resolve on any 'means of rescuing the drowning objects, both had suak to be seen no more alive.

The Cincinnati correspondent of the St. Louis Republican communicates the following item:

Ihave learnedfrom good authority that Morrissey's wife, who, who is said to be the daughter of a wealthy man in Troy, won *2,000 on the result of the fight, and his father-in-law won $80,000.
