THE COlVrKCTlOX.
The Democratic Convention on last Saturday was largely attended notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, the rain falling with but brief intervals during the forenoon. At eleven o'clock a gigantic hickory pole was raised, towering to an altitude of some two hundred feet, from which floated the stars and stripes, and a huge streamer bearing the names of Douglas and Johnson. At 12 o'c'ock the Convention assembled and plfccd in nomination one of the best tickets
ever
At the conclus'onof the Governor's eloquent speech, John S. Williams of Lafayette took the stand and delivered one of the most marked and pointed speeches we ever listened to. Tho Republicans who were in attendance writhed and twisted under his burning sarcasm He held up their party as the concentrated essence of absurdities and inconsistencies, that to obtain office, would sacrifice principle, honor and decency. John is always at home when addressing a Democratic meeting, and we can assure him that Montgomery will not forget him in the future.
At five o'clock the immense crowd dispersed. The delegation from Clark township and the village of Whitesville leaving in regular order, with colors flying and drums beating. Taking the affair altogether the Convention was a success. The tempest and the rain proved 110 barrier to the indomitable Democracy, they came like an army with banners, and proved to the enemy that Monfgonier3r county will maintain her position in the cause of Democratic principles.

A«A!.\ TSSK I--1?CS,S., Dr. Thomas AY. Fry has again emerged from retiracy, and heralded his name to the Republicans of the Eighth District as a candidate for Congress. Is this move of the Doctor's intended to run James off the track? Certainly he has no idea of receiving the nomination when such men as Bil,
(',c
WHO CONSTITUTE BACT
presented
to the people of Montgomery county.— They arc men of sterling worth and ability, and will receive the earnest support of flic Democratic party. After the adjournment of the Convention, Gov. WillarJ addressed the people in the Court House Square. IIis speech was a masterly effort and the way he handled the Hon. Henry S. Lane will never be forgotten. If ever a man was wiped out, and completely used up, it was the Colonel. Ilis friends acknowledged that his record was not as clcar and consistent »s it s-hould be. The truth is, the Colonel is an old stager, whose political history exhibits many a sommerset, and bringing him out as the standard bearer of the Republican party in this State, was a sorry move on the political chesshoard. His defeat by Hendricks is a forgone conclusion. He will be distanced by an overwhelming majority.
The Democratic party has for fifty years been intact and unconquerable because it had clear, well-defined principles and these principles were distinctly understood and favorably embraced by the majority of the American people. Principles are eternal: and the doctrines that governed the popular mind and swayed the popular heart from the first moment that a disagreement took place between the colonies and Great Britain, have always held power and dominion in the minds and over the hearts of our people. In the earliest days of the Republic a»party small in number, but.including some of the ablest men of America, advocated a strong central government. They advocated a government that, though nominally republican, would have been essentially monarchical for instead of receiving limited powers from the States and the people, it was to be the center of power from which the States and the people were to obtain their respective" privileges. That party failed, utterly failed in the attempt to engraft any feature of their plan upon the great charter—tho American Constitution. That instrument was framed upon the principle tlntt all power was inherent iu the people, and that the federal government should be a mere creature of the people and of the States, to do and perform certain acts iu the name of the whole, which would have proved embarrassing and perplexing if done by the States severally and that all power and dominion, sovereignty and command, except within the strictly limited jurisdiction of the federal government were retained by (not conferred on) the people and the ^States respectively. This principle underlies the whole theory of the.government which lias for its guidance aud control the Constitution of the United States. No man can repudiate that principle and not thereby repudiate the distinguishing and essential thcor\- of the Constitution and repudiating tho Constitution of the country, lie cannot with any consistency claim to be a Democrat, entertaining the principles which have been preserved and perpetuated by the Democracy from Jefferson down to Jackaon, an 1 from Jackson down to Polk, and which since that day have been distinctly defined in tho platforms of tho Democratic party. Either the people of each distinct political community have the right to govern themselves, and regulate at will their domestic institutions, or that power has been surrendered to the federal government by tho people and tho States. Tiio.-c are the two alternatives. Those who cherish and cling to Democratic principles, and believe that the Constitution means the same thing in one place that it means in another, aud that the federal government has just as much power in a
State as
ly Wilson, King Ortli, Albert S. White", !acter. Hence all 111011, whether they be J. 1\ Luse, Geo. D. Wagoner, and a lion- i_ad vacates of ana believers in the doctrine drcd others are all applicants for the hon-! of 'Popular Sovereignty—and of the cxor. The Doctor well knows that Montgomerj' county would be a unit for James if he would but stand aside. Why then we will he allow himself to stand in the way of the present incumbent, unless it is to gratify personal jealousy? We appeal to the Doctor to withdraw his name. Harmony in the Republican ranks is much needed at this time. Ilis nomination will be the apple of discard, and excite the re of every Wilson man in the District. We call upon Uncle Smoothing-iron, that aged Ty-Coon of the party, to temper
vaulting ambition of the Doctor.
that would rush madly into the Convention and defeat not only himself but James.
BaTWe have received from the Secretary of tho Russellvillc Fair, a list of the awards and premiums for the present year, with a request to insert the same for the sum of eight dollars, which we respectful-
it lias in a Ter
ritory, and no more and no less and ali those, who ignoring the question of Constitutional
law,
proclaim, assort and main
tain, that the federal government ought not and shall not intervene to override the clearly expressed and weil ascertained wishes of the people upon an issue of purely local and domestic concern—these constitute the Democratic party. They adhere firmly and immovably to tho faith of the Democratic founders of our government, and to the grand and sacred principle that- the people possess all power, and that the federal government is nothing more than an agency, with very limited powers, to perform certain prescribed duties of a national an 1 not of a local char-
elusive authority of the people of the Territories to regulate their domestic institutions for themselves, or whether they be men admitting as an abstract proposition that Congress may in its discretion establish or prohibit, regulate and protect, or restrain and exterminate African slavery in the Territories,—all unite in a determination to leave to the people most deeply interested, and who ultimately must decide the question, the whole subject for their own exclusive arbitrament. These men who thus practically rccoguizc and maintain the principle of non-intervention by Congress, arc practically maintaining the Democratic theory of our Constitution that in the people, and not. in the Federal Government, is and ought to be vested appropriately the decision of ail issues affecting their domestic and local institutions. Upon this broad and comprehensive platform arc gathered men entertaining all de
ly declinc, from the fact th_t the price of- jgrecs and shades of opinion as to the abicrcd would not much more than pay fur §tract questions involved, and they all
the setting of the matter alone. Aside from this reason, it is a notorious fact that this Fair, to a considerable extent, is controlled by a set of incn who award the premiums, regardless of merit, to favorites of their own locality. At the exhibition held there last fall, we were awarded the premium on printing, but through the connivance of some of the managers we were swindled, and the premium given to the Parke County Republican. Wc leave it to the farmers of Montgomery couuty, if an exhibition managed with such favoritism aud rascality should bo countenanced and sustained. Wc arc not the only one who have just cause of complaint, and unless there is a reformation and a proper spirit manifested to show fair play to exhibitors, this Fair in future will receive but little aid and comfort from this section of our county.
THE BRAMBLE HOUSE.—This excellent hotel is still the resort of the traveling public. Dale, the gentlemanly landlord, is a model host.
agree to sink their own private judgements in order to sustain in all its vigor the great American theory of Self-Governtnent.
The occupants of this platform are Democrats they sustaiu the Democratic principles they sustain the Constitution of their country, and they sustain Douglas and Johnson.
As in the days of the Federalists—when our venerable President received his first teachings from the lips and writings of the advocates of a strong central government, so in these latter days there is a strong minority in favor of the exercise by Congress and the Executive of a supervising authority over the local and domestic concerns of tho people. These men are divided however—as all men who depart from correct principles, and run after unsound theories must always be divided.— One wing insists that Congress and the Executive shall say to the people of certain legal and constitutionally established communities, that they shall not have slavery and that if the local legislature ad-
-•aSfon
mit, regulate and' protect alare property by law, that Congrera and the Executive shall set aside such law, and by the whole force of the government shall prohibit and expel all slaveowners, and shall set free and liberate all slave property that may be held under the protection of such legislative enactment of a constitutionally established local government. These men are not Democrats they repudiate Democratic principles they deny the right of self government. They claim that power is inherent in the government, and not in the people they array themselves against the constitution of the land, and they support Lincoln and Hamlin.
The other branches of the minority are no less dangerous in their doctrines. They assert that Congress has not the power to prohibit the Territorial legislature from admitting, regulating, establishing, and protecting slave property—but if the territorial legislature, acting as the free white American citizens of the Territory, shall omit to enact laws for the encouragement and protection of slave property, then the federal government shall interfere, shall override the popular decision and by federal laws, sustained by federal bayonets, shall admit, encourage, and protect Africaa slavery in such Territories. These men are seeeders from the Democratic party. They have left the party thai under Jefferson laid broad, and deep the foundations of a government having for its guiding principle the capacity of man for selfgovernment, andjiave fallen back upon the ancient creed of our venerable President —that the federal government possess, and of right ought to exercise, tho power to govern arbitrarily the people. These men ignore the saving doctrine of non-interfer-ence by Congress, and raise the old Federal cry that the liberties of the people are not safe in the hands of the people, but must find their protection in an "arbitrary strong-handed central government. These men who agree with the supporters of Lincoln and Hamlin, on the question of power and the expediency of its exercise, though differing as to the direction which that exercise should take, support Breckinridge and Lane.
The I«incs which separate the great Democratic people from the two factions of the minority are plainly and distinctly marked, and 110 man of ordinary intelligence can fail to see them. The Democracy are separated from their opponents upon the same principles that separated the patriots of tho Revolution from the opponents of self-government. The Tories were the first seeeders from the cause of popular right and tho most ultra in denying the capacity of the people to gov-! ern themselves, and
in denying

•«v. MBUS wiuwx SMLAIM wm nw-nvTEBTBrrion. A large Republican meeting was held at Lafayette last night, at which the Hon. James Wilson made a speech, in which the following bold declaration escaped his lips in these words: "My fellow citizens, I believe that the citizens of a territory have aright to do as they please".
The enunciation of this doctrine caused an intense fluttering among the faithful.It was a virtual abandonment of the Chicago Platform and a repudiation of the living, vital principle of Republicanism.— Like Saul, Mr. Wilson has seen the error of his ways, he has found it hard to kick against the pricks, and like an honest man he speaks the truth regardless of consequences.

He will carry nearly every Northern State.
#6yThe Journal has a great deal to say about tho Democratic Convention held here on last Saturday. Jerry tells his gullible readers how such a Democrat was cheated and swindled and what nice chaps all the candidates were who failed to receive nominations. This old stereotyped acsount of Democratic Conventions is published regularly by the Journal, with the exception of changing names and dates.— Why don't the Editor tell the people about the swindle practiced at the last Republican Convention in this county, when Wm. P. Ramcy was "defrauded out of a nomination for Sheriff. Can lie explain how thoVvote from Clark township was given to Hall?

is amusing to hear the Republi
cans in town predicting the defeat of Esq. Gott. They are ccrtain that Hall will be elected, and shed torrents of crocodile tears over Mr. Wallace, who they sayshould have been nominated and who they all intended to vote for. Before the Convention, these same hypocrites were predicting the certain defeat of Mr. W. in case he received the nomination. Had Gott been left off the ticket these Pharisees were ready to mourn with great lamentations over his fate. The old line Whigs would have been told that there was no chance for them—that the Democracyhad no favors to bestow upon their generous and gallant allies—that Gott having been an old line Whig of the Clay school was doomed and his fate sealed by his unscrupulous party. Let Democrats when they are appealed too by these sanctimonious chaps, note the studied effort and the affectation of sympathy they assume when they endeavor to prejudice them against Mr. Gott. It is the same old game that they have played successfully for the last five years and which they openly boast of.

tGSF It has always been deemed a most remarkable circumstance that Mr. Breckinridge refused to run for Congress in the Lexington District, in opposition to the Know Nothing candidate in 1855, though repeatedly urged to do so by the men who had so ardently supported him on two previous occasions. He also refused to take any active part in that canvas3. He made one speech at Cynthiana on the ithof April, in which occurs the following remarkable declaration
It was natural for a man to prefer those of his own religious faith in voting, and he himself would vote for one of his own way of thinking in religion rather than for another, all other things being equal, just as he would vote for a native in preference to a foreign born citizen., other things being equal.
rMcsnnras TMIKOTMOCKAT. .: 1C COirVKXTlOKr, Held at Crawfordsville on the 4th day of
August, 1860, far the purpose of nominating a County Ticket. The Convention was called to order by tho President of the Central Committee of the county, and William C. Vance was called to the Chair and R. J. Fink appointed Secretary.
On motion of John Lee, a committee was appointed, consisting of one from each Township, for the purpose of apportioning the vote that each Township is entitled to cast in the selection of candidates in the Convention.

The following were appointed as said committee: Union' Township, iv J. Vv
John Lee,
Wayne Geo.- Bratton^ Clark "if...... J. M. Shafer,'' Coal Creek' S. McComas^
Madison Sugar Creek Scott Brown Franklin Walnut -".-': Ripley
McClure,
Silas Peterson, D. A. Shannon, J. Lipscomb, J. Simmons, Thos. Wilson, R.W. McMakin.
The following is the report of said committee: That each Township be entitled to cast five votes, in the selection of candidates in this Convention.
Lew Wallace offered the following as an amendment, which was unanimously adopted by the Convention: ','That each Township be entitled to cast five votes in this Convention as a basis, and one vote for every one hundred Democratic votes cast, and one additional vote for every fraction over fifty votes cast in the several Townships in the election of 1858, for Secretary of State."
It was then moved that the Convention proceed to ballot by Townships for the various candidates, which was carried, and the result announced by the President.— The following is a correct statement of the number of votes each Township is entitled to cast according to tho ratio allowed by the report, and also the names of tho different candidates, and the number of votes that caeh candidate received for the office for which lie was canvassing:

We printed the other day a areolar letter from Jofin" Dawson, demanding contributions from the Federal officers to assist the Breckinridge cause in Ohio—a service for which Dawson was afterwards rewarded with' the post office at Columbus. In rinswer to one of these circulars, demanding the sum of ten dollars, the postmaster at Shelbyyille returned the following repb*:
SHELBYVILLE, July 24, I860.'
SIRS: In answer to your note of yesterday demanding me to contribute ten dollars in consideration of my official position as Postmaster, to aid in making a political canvas in favor of Breckinridge and Lane, I will say that it can, in no way, be acceded to by mc.
Under tho present circumstances, and the manner in which you make the demand, I deem it an insult and an outrage upon every principle oif honor, integrity, and independence, that onght to characterize the conduct and actions of every American citizen, be he high or low, rich or poor, and I cannot do otherwiso than treat it as such, without a total sacrifice of the rights of conscience, and a cowardly submission of every principle of manly independence. I thertjj-'? spurn your demand as an offered bribe for the paltry place and for a feio official crumbs. I wear no official haltar around my neck I learned tho principles of Democracy from my mother's knee I have been a Democrat all my life and expect to did one.
In 1852, to the extent of my humble ability, I did what I could in contributing to the election of Franklin Pierce and sustaining the compromise measures of 1850. To carry out the same principles and same measures in 1856,1 again did what I could to aid in the election of James Buchanan, to maintain those principles and measures "so just to all sections of the country."— And now again in 1860, if God spares my life, when a still more dangerous and formidable attack is made upon those time honored principles of the Democratic party, by fanatical Disunion Factionists, both North and South, and an unholy attempt is made to break up and crush out tho only national conservative party, (and to that end I am invited to contribute aid,) I will do all I am able in any honorable way sustain and uphold the nationality of tho Democratic party in the election of our noble standard-bearers, Stephen A. Douglas and Ilcrscliel V. Johnson. If I can not do this, and longer hold my official station as Postmaster of the little village of Shelby, without offending the powcra that be, then I can no longer desire tho position they may cutoff my Douglas head. "If this lc treason let it comc, let it conic."
May we profit by the example.1 am Sirs, very resncctfully yours, II. MICKEY, Shelby, Ohio. Messrs. TDomas Sparrow, John Dawson and others, Columbus, Ohio.
