Douglas dead in Kentucky Breckcniidgc laid on the Shelf!! —Guthrie Triumphant!!!

The Old Line Democratic Convention met at Frankfort, Ky., on the 9th day of January, for the purpose of nominating delegates to the Charleston Convention. Douglas was repudiated he made no show of strength. Breckenridge, who had bid high in the proslavery subserviency, was laid on the shelf, and Guthrie, of Louisville, unanimously nominated as the choico of Kentucky. If Douglas has no strength in Kentucky, what hope can he or his friends have for him farther South?— He. may divide but he cannot unite the party.

Democratic State Convention. Strange as it may seem, the Central Committee of the Democratic party made application to the Mayor of Indianapolis, and the Sheriff of Marion county, to assist them with an increased police to keep order. The Mayor and Sheriff very prudently declined unless there should be a riot, and then told the Committee they would arrest the whole Convention and confine them in jail. What a comment this on Democracy, that an increased police must be employed in advance and be in readiness to prevent a row in a Democratic Convention? Where and when was there ever such a proposition Of what material did the Committee suppose this Convention would be composed? Are they a set of rowdies and ruffians that know not the decencies of Jife or the rules to be observed in Convention? Or has the party become so oorrupt that order can be kept in their meetings only by physical force? The Committee offered to pay the expense of the increased police and were very anxious they knew the character of the material generally sentnp by their party, and feared that nothing but the power of the police and the presence of armed men could keep them in order. But what will the delegates say when they know these facts, when they learn tl'iat their character's are thus insulted, their honors impeached, and their decency spurned. Oh. Democracy, how art thou fallen! The police alone can preserve order in a Democratic Convention. So says theDeniocratic

"A RAll,ROAD I?1EETO'G —A SEW PROJECT.

"Wo see from the last number of the Frankfort Crescent, that an enthusiastic Railroad meeting was held in Frankfort on Monday evening, 2d inst., for the purpose of taking steps for tho construction of a road from that place, to Darlington, in this county. They passed a number of resolutions in reference to the good work, pledging themselves as a county to raise or subscribe the sum of sixty-five thousand dollars.— They also invited the co-operation of the citizens of Darlington and vicinity, and propose that they raise the sum of thirty-five thousand, dollars. Gen. Asa Butler, of Illinois, was in attendance at the meeting, and gave the citizeus of Clinton the assurance that tho road should be built if the sum of one hundred thousand dollars could be raised, in notes, payable-when the work was fully completed'.1''"Nostock,orsubscription to be due'until the road is put in running order. From the zeal manifested by some of the most enterprising, and able citizens, of Frankfort,we judge that they enter into the work on this occasion, with a firm determination, that something shall he done if possible.. We trust that the citizens of our county, at least those who are directly interested, will use their utmost exertions in raising the necessary amount to secure the road to Darlington* if no farther. The following resolutions were offered, and unanimously adopted:

Resolved, 'That the citizens of Clinton county, can and will, subscribe at least 805,000, towards building a RailRoad from Frankfort to .Colfax, and that we have full confidence in being able, in connection with- the people of Darlington, and vicinity, in Montgomery county, to .raise a sum, sufficient to pura a a -fiesolved, That we invite the co-ope-tfation of the citizens of Darlington, •^^vicinity, ipj our efforts to complete & ,ine of- tfilway, between the two points,, and thafr we propose to them to raise a subscription of §35,000,. with asstirancB that our place, and vicinity, \yill raise the sum of $0o.000, and extend the line of the Frankfort Branch

Rail-Road to that place.

The Disunion Democracy.

•f \During the present meeting of Congress much has been said of constitutional rights, the compromises of the Constitution, and the determination of the so-called Democratic party to maintain them at all hazards, as if there had been some attempt to deprive them of their rights, or desire expressed to break down tho Constitution. At one moment they claim their Constitutional privileges, and at the next swear the}* will dissolve the Union if other men claim and exercise the same rights.— The Democratic leaders have become so intensely sectional, one idead on tho subject of slavciy. so wrought up with the overshadowing importance of their rights, as to lose all sight of those of others. If we would believe their declarations and threats, the North has no part nor lot in this Government—no right to elect a speaker for Congress— no right to elect a President—no rightto utter a syllable on the extension of slavciy—no right to any participation in the affairs of government—no right but to be dictated to by Southern Democrats, vote as they are told, and speak only when permitted by the lordly rulers of the Southern oligarchy. They threaten disunion if Sherman should be elected Speaker of the Ilouse. They threaten disunion if Seward or any other Republican should be elected President of theUnitedStates. They threaten disunion if the North will not agree that tho -Constitution carries slavery into all territory—everywhere within the United Slates. These are the threats and these the demands of the Democratic party, and still it is urged that the Democratic party alone can save the Union. Ever howling disunion, and yet they alone can save it— threaten, and then save from their own threats.

The truth is that the Democraticparty is tho only really disunion party in our country. It is the only really proslavery party. It is the only party which threatens destruction to this glorious fabric of Empire. It is the only party which keeps up this eternal war on the subject of slavery. The Democratic party is intensely sectional. It keeps slavery to its bosom with an unfailing grasp it abjures freedom, and, if suffered to become triumphant, will overthrow the government, destroy the Union, and establish a despotism more galling than the Roman people ever cnunred under the pontirieial hierarchy. Lot this disunion, fire-eat-1 ing and dough-faced Democracy be crushed, and our people will once mere enjoy the blessings of peace. Fraternal I readings between the North and South will n^Ciiin spring up u.nri rnruifot in the bonds of a dearer and warmer brotherhood the constitutional rights

of all sections will be respected, and our'government will yet continue blessing to coming generations.

it-ITThe Republicans of Congress seem animated with a fii^vi and noble purpose. Wc trust they will stand and yield not an inch to Southern demands. Let them threaten, let them indulge in harsh and abusive language firmness and decision will yet triumph. And if they determine to go, let them go— they will leave the Capitol they will leave the stars and stripes, they will leave the army and navy, they will leave the Constitution, they will leave all that is glorious and sacred and take with them nothing but Southern chivalry. and the peculiar Institution, and a few dough-faced Democrats. Wo will be rich—they will bo poor indeed.— We love the Constitution, and wc love the Union—let those who do not, depart.

THE REGAINING TRIALS IN VIRGINIA. —Two more of the prisoners arrested on accouut of the Harper's Ferry affair —Aaron Dwight Stevens and Hazlitt—are awaiting their trials. In regard to the trial of Stevens, his counsel in Boston lias received the following letter from District Attorney Hunter

for all this I am utterly

unable to see that wc of the South will at all better ourselves by 'renouncing altogether' our connections with the! North. Shall we be removed a hair's breadth further from the North? Shall we cease to hear the ravings of madmen, or the delusions of fanaticism? Shall we. as aliens and foreigners, have a better claim upon the conservative (dement still existing at the North than we now have as members and brethren of the same confederacy? Every one of these interrogatories must be answered in tho negative. '•What, then, do we gain? Why. directly in the teeth of the true but expressive and comprehensive sentiment recently attributed in your, columns to the famous Talleyrand, namely, 'happy is the nation without frontiers,' we gain an immense boundary, subjected at all times and all places, to such forays as old Ossawatomie Brown has recently inaugurated at Harper's Ferry, and with no Pennsylvania judge or Governor to hold a merely suspected fugitive, to give a sister Commonwealth time to identify him, {is recently was the case with the fugitive Hazlett, arrested at Carlisle. In such an act as this to weigh nothing or to be accounted as no compensation for the wild ravings of deluded men and women, led on and encouraged by the most dangerous of all men, the mcreh' ambitious political demagogue? Unhappily, the South, as well as the North, lias its full share of this class of men."-

One Reason Why tJae Ilouse Docs I¥ot Organize. The Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia North American writes:

The groggcry in the House post-office is still in full operation, and whisky runs tree to all who have votes in electing the officers of the House. How many are to be purchased with 'drinks' we shall be better able to judge after the election.' A groggcry and restaurant has existed a basement room of the Capitol fur some years previous to the commencement of the XXXth Congress but no sooner was Mr. Winthrop elected Speaker of that Congress than he gave an order to the Sergcant-at-Arms to clear the groggery out forthwith, and it was promptly executed.— Now anew groggery is .established on the same floor and. within a few stops of the Hail.

Congress—IIooslers in a Muss! Tho Indiana Journal of the 7th inst. says: ,,,

"The debate native House reported by telegraph yesterday morning, in which the principal participants were Messrs. Porter, Dunn and Davis of this State, though stormy and personal in a disgraceful degree, amounted to little but a formal declaration by Mr. Davis of a desertion, long contemplated, from his position of the past two years.— That lie meditated such an act has been manifest ever since Congress met, but he has lacked the courage to make a frank avowal of it. Now, baited and enraged by Mr. Porter's allusions to his speeches last year, he so far forgets his caution as to betray his purpose.— He abuses and denounces those who recall his record, si rid thus shows too plainly how painful that record must be. This is the effect of the debate.— And this is all of it. In its details, however, there aro some things worthy of notice. '•The report, as wc received it, was a little confused. But it makes plain two things: 1st, Mr. Davis was exalting his own consistency at the expense of that of Mr. Hickman of Pennsylvania, and proclaiming how unsullied his Democracy was with a view of course to conciliating the Disunion majority of his party, when Mr. P. asked him about the speeches ho delivered in Masonic. Hall at the glorification over the Illinois election in 1858, in which-he denounced tho Drcd Scott decision. 2d. That Mr. Davis denied having denounced that decision, and was told in plain terms by Mr. Porter and Mr. Dunn that ho did, and they referred to a sketch of his speech in the Sentinel of Nov. 10th, 1858, in proof. To this he replied by calling both of them liars, and by {i torrent of abusive language that demonstrated how fearfully the blow hurt him. His constitution seems to resemble that of a buzzard somewhat. When he is hurt he vomits. A scene of confusion, explanations, altercations, and denunciations followed this dtevclment, that the report gives us a faint idea of, but as it adds nothing to tho substantial facts stated, we need not allude to it. At the conclusion Mr. Porter obtained a hearing, caused the sketch in the Sentinel to be read, and then reiterated his assertion, and said that the country could judge between the two on the question uf veracity.— 'Mr. Dunn followed in the same strain, and concluded by repeating the declaralifvft which had so enraged Mr. Davis. th^'t he (Davis) did denounce the Drcd

ion.

A correspondent of the National Intelligencer puts the question of profit and loss to the South from disunion, in a very clcar light. 'Himself a slaveholder, and -:a sufferer as much by losses from proximity to Mason and Dixon's line as any man South of it," he says:

decision. So ended the do-

"Wo have a word or two to say in regard to the question of veracity raised by Mr. Davis. He declares that Mr. Porter and Mr. Dunn lie when they say lie denounced the Drod Scott decision on tho night of November 18, 1S58.— As they are both gentlemen of abetter social position than himself, and of a much better reputation at home, their combined testimony might easily be accepted against his enraged denial.— They, however, arc legal witnesses, and he is not. for they are disinterested. and he is deeply interested. He is aiming, and has been from the start, to unite on himself the strength of the anti-Leeompton and Disunion Democracy, and thus secure his election as Speaker. To this end, of course, he has avoided all demonstrations of anti-Lc-comptonism relying on his past record to keep the anti-Lecompton menfrieudIv, and hoping by present submission to conciliate the disunion men. He has therefore sat silent, without one word of protest or disapprobation, while Crawford, and Curry, and Pryor, and McRac, and Smith, and Garnett, and Burnett, and others of his party have denounced the Union, and spit upon popular sovereignty. In such a position. nothing could be more galling than a demonstration that compelled him to crawl out of his hiding place, aud let both sides see him fairly. The charge made by Mr. Porter was exactly that kind of a demonstration. This will account for the furious wrath with which Davis received it. To those who do not understand his position, his rage and abuse will appear like an outburst of drunken brawling. It will be unaccountable on any hypothesis consistent with his sanity or sobriety. But with the explanation wo have given it can be understood without implicating anything but his honesty and consistency. His ambition, and not his bottle, were at the bottom of tho disgraceful display. His statements as to his speech in 1858 aro therefore to be accepted with due allowance for his interests involved in them. Those of Messrs. Porter and Dunn need no such allowance. They have no personal interest in presenting Mr. Davis as hereall}7 is. They could not hope to benefit either themselves or their party by showing Mr. Davis' inconsistency.— On this ground alone their evidence will overpower his vehement denial. "But those who heard that speech will have better evidence than this— their own ears. We heard that speech. So did at least one thousand other Republicans, for the anti-Lecompton men formed but a small share of any of the

anti-Locompton meetings in this city in those days. And we, and every Republican who heard him, know that •his speech was a vehement aud unmeasured denunciation of the Dred Scott doctrine, "that slavery could not be excluded from a territory till the formation of a State Constitution."— We do not remember that ho used the words "Dred Scott." Probably he did not. But his whole spcech was a denunciation of what was understood by all parties, Republicans and Democrats, in Indiana, to be the effect of the Dred Scott decision. Wo heard several

Republicans speaking of the speech as one of the best Republican demonstrations they had ever heard, and more than one who had disagreed with us in our policy of uniting Republicans upon anti-Lecompton Congressmen in Democratic Districts, expressed themselves satisfied after hearing that speech.— They said, "Davis is good enough Republican. Wc might have done worse with a man who professed more."— This ice know. Against this he has nothing to offer but the contemptible quibble that he did not use the words "Drcd Scott." We do not know or care how he construes that decision, but we do know that lie denounced, as we never heard it denounced before or since, the construction which was placed upon it by Democrats and Republicans both. When he dared to give the lie to men who heard his speech he showed that he was caught, his deceit detected, and his policy exposed. Porter and Dunn drove him to his den.— The)' did not, and we respect them for it, retort his vile language. "But they both with man!}' firmness put aside his abuse, paid it no attention, and reitcrerated their declarations, thus leaving Mr. Davis in the pitiable position of having made himself a blackguard, and exhibited his treachery, without driving his assailants one inch from their galling position. So perishes John G. Davis from the political record of Indiana."

[Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette.]

The Organization—-Incitement in the aSonsc. WASHINGTON*, Jan. 1.

Up to this time to-day the scene in the House has been very exciting.— Mr. AVashburne, of ill., read a letter from a mail contractor in Illinois, complaining of the great financial distress brought upon the contractors by the non-payment of their dues.

A very sharp colloquy ensued between AVashburne and Houston. Reagan, of Texas, obtained the floor, and his speech called up many members with inquiries and explanations. The scene soon became boisterous, and excited members from all sections mingled in the colloquy, manifesting much feeling. The excitement culminated whenTTatton, of Tenn., (Am.) substantially told Cox, of Ohio, that his statements were false. All the members rose and gathered round the parties, and after a while the riot was quelled by a motion to proceed to a ballot for Speaker.

Many Republicans arc afraid that if they sit through the night, a drunken melee

Avill

ensue. Among some of these

chicken-hearted gentlemen, I might mention some Western men, but forbear out of regard to their constituents. It

currently reported that Secretary Cobb is advancing money to tho Democratic members. There is no disposition to break from Sherman. One or two night sessions will probably clcct him.

The Harper's Ferry Investigating Committee of the Senate are going to work, and have summoned a large numner of witnesses, among them Colonel Lewis AVashington, who was captured by Brown, and held prisoner, and other citizens of Harper's Ferry. The examination commenced to-day, but no new facts were developed.

It seems certain that no election can be had till the plurality rule is adopted. The effort to-day to concentrate on Davis oi McClcrnard signally failed.

Senator Mason, of Virginia, appeared to-day in a suit of grey Virginia homespun, fashionably made.

Judge Douglas is greatly improved in health, and will take his seat in a few days.

Wisong, one of the Americans elected from Baltimore, refused to take his seat.

The contestants of the seats of the other American members from Baltimore have collected 450 pages of evidence, showing tho most astounding frauds. This will also be uged against Winter Davis. There being some apprehensions that rowdies from Baltimore would undertake to molest the Legislature, it is stated that President Buchanan has authorized the Mayor of Anapolis to cali upon the cadets of the Naval School in case of need.

Mr. Davis, of Maiyland, has received formal notice from AYm. G. Harrison, his late opponent, of his intention to contest his seat. Davis, I am told, sent him a very tart reply.

A GOOD REPORT.—Under this head the Shelby, Ivy., News publishes an extract from a letter by a young Kentuck}* Mcdical student at Philadelphia. The writer says:

About three hundred Southern students went South in a body, last AVednesday night. Our class is sti 11* largo, though sensibly diminished. There are more going yet. A check for ,000 was sent from Virginia to pay their [traveling] expense to the South.— They can go to New Orleans, Nashville or Charlcstown, free of charge and hear the lectures gratis.—Of twenty Kentuekians, not one left. They are conservative—sound eggs."

CONGRESS.—No speaker elected yet consequently no organization of the House of Congress,

CONGRESSIONAL.

THIRTY-SIXTH CONGRESS—FIRST SESSION.

AVASHINGTON, Jan. 7.—Senate not in session. HOUSE. Cobb asked that an article emanating from Massachusetts be read wishing to know from tho delegation fi 0111 that State Avhcthcr it was a forgery or not. It appeared in the Barnstable Patriot, from the East, where the sun first rises on our globe. If it be genuine, he was glad that after searching among the rubbish he had been able to find in Massachusetts a single jewel which should be" shown to the country. The proceedings of the Union meeting in Barnstable were read, declaring the duty of obedience to the constitution as the supreme law of the land, condemning Brown's raid and his sympathizers, and those preaching or inciting insurrection, as guilty of moral or actual treason, &c.

Lliott asked that the call for the meeting be read. Cobb said that it was not in the paper. He loved Union meetings, but he wanted them to declare such sentiments as had been read. He believed that man}- abolitionists were simply for the Union. Let the motto be the Constitution and the rights of all sections, and let them inscribe on their banners,

lHn

hoc signo vince-s," then under this sign they will conquer. Eliott remarked that Cobb did not say anything new to Massachusetts, or to the citizens of that State. There were not more conservative or constitutional constituencies anywhere, from the landing of the pilgrims till now.— There was never a body of men who more assuredly, distinctly or promptly stood by the laws and constitution than those same men who met together at Barnstable the other day to proclaim their allegiance to the Union, and those men who dissented from the spirit of these resolutions were the men who would be found standing side by side with.the secessionists and disunionists of the South They were not the Republicans, nor order-loving Democrats but {tnother class of men altogether.— One gentleman who addrossedUie meeting was a Republican and his hearers sympathized with his,sentiments. Wehave heard more terse than chaste, more strong than parliamentary, more vigorous than courteous denunciation .'liter denunciation against those men who come from the North, representing the feelings of the North, as com-i bined in the resolution just read. The time ie not far distant when the seep-J tre will slip from the hands that now hold it, and pass to other and stronger, hands, and then we hope wc will find our Union loving friends shaking hands with the new party that will have thepower.

A ballot was had to-day with the following result: Whole number of votes. 211: ecessary to a choice, 10'J Sherman, 10:3 Hamiitcii. SO Gilmer, t: scattering, (!.

AVASHINGTON January 9.

HOUSE.—AS'inflow asked Gartrell. who was entitled to the floor, to give way for a call of the House.

Gartrell said although he wished to trespass on the House but a short time to-day, if his i"runds desired it. and thought there was a prospect of organizing, he would eheerfuly yield the Hoor for the purpose of voting, with the unstanding that he was entitled to the floor when the discussion was resumed.

The House was then called. It appeared that the only members absent wit bout a pair were Florence,! Hindman and Tavdor.

Winslow moved that tho house proceed to vote. It was agreed to with the following result:

AVhole number of votes, 210 necessary to a choice. 110. Sherman, 105 Hamilton. SS Gilmer. 22:

H. F. Clark and Adrian voted for Reynolds, and Gilmer voted for Stokes. SENATE—Messrs. Seward and Douglas appeared in their scats.

The attendance was slim. Green introduced a bill to organize the Territory of Nebraska referred.

Brown gave notice of a bill to establish a govenment printing office. Davis introduced bills to" facilitate the enlistment ofsoldiers into the army to fix the pay & regulate the allowance of the officers of the army! and to promote the efficiency of the army by retiring the disabled and infirm officers, all of which were referred to the Committee on Military Affairs.

AYilson presented the petition of aj committee of the people of Boston against the removal of the Post-Office.

Lane offered a resolution calling upon the President for the correspondence of Gen. AVinfieldScottand Gen.IIarncy in regard to the Island of San Juan.

DEMOCRATIC COMESTIOIf. ST. LOUIS, Jan. 10.—A dispatch to the Democrat says the Illinois National Democratic State Convention met at Springfield to-day and elected four delegates at large to the Charleston Conven tion, and two from each Congressional District.

Resolutions wore passed stating the doctrine of the Democratic party to be that neither Congress nor a Territorial Legislature has the power to exclude slavery from any Territory but the people thereof, when they form a State Government, have aright to admit or exclude slavery, as they choose. They declare that the principles and practices of the Republicans and their allies, the advocates of squatter sovereignty, tend to pronotc discord, disunion, treason and murder, as practically illustrated in the Harper's Ferry affair. Tlicy express full confidence in the Administration. including its policy upon the slavery question.

The Powhattan'was to sail for Kanawa on the 22d of February, taking tho Japanese embassy, which was to consist of the chief ambasadors, eighteen1' officials, and two subordinates.

The embassy would proceed to P&n-,-ama via the Sandwich Islands. At tho Isthmus they would take passage in a, frigate and proceed to Washington.

There was a rumor at Hakididi that the English Counsul had ordered tho English citizens to go armed, in consequence of threats made by the Japanese against them.

Parties of Americans from the Powhattan had visited Yeddo. There was a largo lire in Yeddo on the lit of No vein cr.

The San Francisco papers are urging the project of a line ofsiearnors between that city and Japan.

The San Francisco markets were without change. The Overland mail of Nov. 28 reached San Francisco on the 10th ult.

The American settlers on the island of San Juan had held a meeting and adoted resolutions approving thecourso of Gen. Harney, and express the opinion that the island is American soil and ought to be preserved to the United States.
