"o man, who is r.ot a fit subject for a Lunntic Asylum, will argu for a moment, tha the actual settlors wiil cn'ail the curse r f slavery upon themselves and their pos- j teri'v; but as the Abolhioriisfs have but j one idea, it is necessary to rnrcent lh.it Freemen of Kansas are bing murdered ; the women and children butchered, their houses burnt and their property stolen. We have conversed with different men belonging to the republican party, who seemed candid in the belief that what they read in the fusion papers, in reference to the murdering of Free-states men in Kansas, were true, nT)d that what they gathereJ from the "Home Missionaries," on the same subject, was ao true but wofully were they mistaken. The truth in the premise?, is, that there has been three times as many pro-slavery men killed, as there lias been of Abolitionists ; but you will not find a fusion pap r alluding to that part of the subject. Our late news says that quiet is measurably restored, and if such be the f ict, the wind will be all out of the fusion sail, and Kansas stock will decline. There will have to be more rows got up there vet: it is too long until the election for these agitators to remain quiet. Men are kept in Kansas and paid for manufacturing Abolition cdectioncering yams, which are f jrwarded to the Chicago and New York Trihune, then Freemen ro called on to rally in defense, of suffering bu-

The Democratic Convention, held at

on the 19th inst., to nominate a candidate for the ninth Congressional dis trict, was as harmonious as any we ever attended. The counties composing the dis trict wero all represented except Late. W hen it was ascertained tlial a respectable portion of the Convention preferred Judge Stuart to any other man, Col. Walker withdrew his name, and recommended the unanimous nomination of Judge Stuart. The Col. will not be forgotten for the prudent course he pursued in order to preserve harmony among the delegates. Never did we witness a nomination that was received with more enthusiasm than was that of Judge Stuart's; every person presentseemrl til Vi. imnriail witVi flirt lAan V.ol white citizen's would have a representative j in the next Congress from this district. It has been rumored that Mr. Colfax would probably not be a candidate, (we, however, gave no credence to the report,) 1 but since Mr. Stuart is the Democratic nominee, we should not be surprised if Mr. Colfax does conclude' that disciotien is the I bettor part of-valor. On last Thursday, W.B. Beach, Dem ocratic candidal Tor Clesk of Supreme i Court, madei speech at the court house iin this place, to -a largdi intelligent audiJence. Wo have heard but one expression I in relation tö ft, which is, fliat it was a sound, argumentative speech.' Mr. Beech is a pleasant speaker, a sound reasonerand thoroughly posted on all the issues. His speech was courteous towards all political parties, using none of the slang which j characterizes a majority of the political speeches of the present day. In to-day's paper will be found the programme for the coming celebration. The Com. have made even arrangement in the!1 power to have a good time they have selected good officers, and send a general invi tat ion to the citizens of this county, and ;as many more as feel disposed, to come and j participate in celebrating our Liberty's ! birth-dav.

Mr Hall, from the committee on resolutions, reported a motion for the adoption of the Cincinnati Platlurm published last week in this paper And the same being read by the Secretary, it was unanimously adopted wi.h the following in addition thereto: o Resolved. That the Democratic party recognizes tho great importance, in a political and commercial point ot view, of a sale and speedj communication by military and postal roads, through our own territory, between the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of this Union, and .hat it is the duty of tho Federal Government to exercise promptly all its constitutional power for the attainment of that object. Mr. Krowntield, of St. Joseph, submitted a letter from the Hon. Xorman Eddv, which was read by the Secretary, and is as follows: To the President of the Democratic Conventional Bradford, Indiana. Sin: It has been intimated to me, that possibly a contingency might arise, that would in the judgment of the Convention render it advisable to place my name again in nomination for Congress. I have availed myself of all proper occasions, since the election of 1851, to say to friends who have written or spoken to me in reference to such r. nomination, that under no circumstances likely to occur, would I be a candidate. With this declaration, early and persist ently before the Democratic party of the ' T! Y 1 1 uisuici, i can uaruiv imagine a suite ot facts, that would bring my name into the Convention; but in order to remove all doubt, it is due, as vvll to tho delegates composing it as to myself, to say in advance, that I am constrained by consi lerati ns that leave me no choice, to adhere to my former declaration. My more intimate friends will understand the grounds of this decision, and will apreflate the motives that dictate it. At east they can say il occasion should make it proper to say anything, that no unmanly fear no distrust of party friends no diminution of zeal for principles, in the success of which, I solemnly believe the country and its constitution can only find refuge and safety and no other unworthy feeling, unbecoming them or me, has influenced my determination. As an old friend and comrade, who lias stood wiih them in sunshine and storm, and marked : Iicir constancy and devotion to our common faith who has been honored by them; and moro honored when lie fell wuh them; may I not ask in all your deliberations harmony, concord; nay sacrifice if need be; remembering the cause, and that our blessed Union is the mighty stake for which we battle. I have no right to fear their prudence or patriotism, yet they will pardon me if my desire for their success, betrays me into over anxiety. He. in whose illustrious life there is every guarantee that love of country, or doating confidenvo can ask, and whose noblo virtues have cmbelished a public; sacrifice of more than 30 years including periods of deep peri! to our republican system; he upon whom leaned the strong arm of Jackson and found support; the able Senator and Compeer of Grundy, Forsyth, Wright and Benton, tho eminent and accomplished Secretary and Minister, James Buchanan, our Standard bearer, will lead us to a victory as glorious ao it will be imperishable.

That the old 9th will share in the triumph, as in the contest, I have not a doubt. Your friend NORMAN EDDY. St. Paul, M. T., June 9, 1856. On motion of Mr. Ross, it was ordered. That this letter be receive and recorded in the proceedings of this Convention. The President now announced the order for nominations of candidates to represent the 9th Congressional District of the Slate of Indiana in the next Congress of the United States.' Mr. Spitler, of Jasper, submitted the name of Colonel John C. Walker, of Laporte. Mr. Deavitt, of St. Joseph, submitted the name of the honorrble William Z. Stuart, of Cass. Col. Walker immediately withdrew his name from the canvass, and submitted a motion, that the Hon. William Z. Stuart, be unamimo-sly nominated as the Democratic Candidate for Congress for the 9th district. This motion was received with rounds of hearty cheering for Col. W. and adopted with a shout of enthusiasm, and the President announced the result, at'ding his confidence that Judge S. would be elected by five thousand majority. On motion by Mr Deavitt, it was ordered, that Col Walker, A G Deavitt and W R Bowes proceed forthwith to acquaint Judge Stewart of his nomination, and invite him to appear before tho Convention. M ajor McFadden, of Cass, offered the following resolutions, which were adopted: Resolved t That we recognize James Buchanan of Pennsylvania, as the great statesman of the present age, the able di plomatist, the champion of popular rights and of civil and religious liberty, and the unwavering Democrat who has ever defended our Constitution and the Union of the Suites, and his nomination for the Presidency by the Cincinnati Convention meets our hearty approval, and in the coming election he will receive our unanimous support. Resolved, That we approve of the nomination of Kentucky's favorite son and gifted statesman, John C. Breckinridge, for the Vice Presidency; that with the names of Buchanan and Breckinridge, inscribed upon our banners, we cannot fail to win a victory that will do honor to national sentiment of the country, and hf.-il. h.-i.-L' tho

Unüer this order, the District Central Committee now consists of the said Editors of the District, and Judge Turpie, of White county, Joseph Jackson, of Lake, and W. C. -Barnett, of Pulaski.

Col Walker now introduced Jtnb'e Stuart to the Convention, and his address, in a few words, acceptingand returning thanks for the honor conferred, was received with the most cordial demonstrations. And then, after an order to publish these ' proceedings in the democratic pipers of ' the oistnct, moved by Mr Ross; and a vote of thanks to the the ollicers of the Convention On motion by Maj McFadden, the Convention adjourned, with three times three for Buchanan and Breckinridge and the nominee of this Convention !

Mrllathawaj, of Laporte, briefly stated the object of the meeting to be the nomination of a candidate for Prosecuting Attorneyof the Oth district; and he submitted the name of A Lytic Jones, of Porter counNo other name being proposed, it was ordered that A L Jones be submitted to the people as a candidate unanimously nominated and reecommonded by this Convention for said ofiice of Prosecutor; and that the prcs3of the district be expected to publish these proceedings. John Brownfield, Chairman. A. G. Deavitt, Secretary. St Louis, June 20. The steamer James II. Lucas, just from Si Joseph, brings intelligence that a Hairs in Kansas are assuming a milder aspect. Rumors of violence have almost entirely ceased. The armed parties that ran riot in the Territory were being disbanded by Sumner, orolso skulkiugiu remote parts of the country. A letter to the Democrat, 1.1T ..1 I uaieu ljawrence, urn, savs mere was a report that six thousand Missourians were preparing to invade Kansas, and Sumner would order out two regiments ami six pieces of artillery to meet them. This is doubtless incorrect, as later dates than the 13th would have reached here w ere such a largo body of arme 1 men in tho Territory. The advices by tho Steamer Lucas are probably much neater the tnith.

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION. The Republican Convention, held at Philadelphia, June 17th., nominated Jonx C. Fremo.vt, for President, and Wm. L.

Dayton-, for Vice President, and adopted the following PLATFORM. This Convention of Del 'ga'es, having assembled in pursuance ofa call addressed to the people of U:iited States, without regard to past political differences or divisions who are opposed lo the repeal ot tho Missouri Compromise, to the policy of the present administration, to the extension of slavery into free Territory; in favor of the admission of Kansas; of'restoring the action of the Federal Government to the principles of Washington and Jefferson, and (or the purpose of presenting candidates for the offices of president and Vice President; therefore, Resolved, That the maintenance of the principles promulgated in tho Declaration of Independence, and embodied in the Federal Government, are essential to the preservation ot our republican institutions, and the Federal Constitution, the rights ot the States, and the union of the States, must and shall be preserved. liesolaed.
