The fusionists held their Convention Justice, and convey an idea different from here last Saturday, to nominate a county : what he intended, we will make a few more ticket.

The Convention proceeded to take an informal ballot for the purpose of throwing dust in tho eyes of these who were outside of the ring. When the votes were counted, i: was ascertained that the following persons had received a majority of all the votes cast, find was afterwards declared tobe the unanimous nominees of the Con - rontion. Sheriff. T. B. THOMPSON; Treasurer, II. R. PERSH NO; Coinr 2nd dis. . . . J. L. WESTERVELT; CWr 3d dis G. II. THAYER; Surveyor, O.W. MORRIS; Coroner G. P. CHERRY. We presume every man that was nomi-

Wc may have occasion hereafter, to allude to tho politics of the different nominees, as a short biography of their political lives for tho last few years might be somewhat in - foresting lo a port inn of our readers.
GENUINE REPUBLICANISM. The abolition-republicans in Kansas have ever claimed to bo the injured and persecu-
! ted party; have declared that their brethren have been murdered, their property do itroved, and their lights infringed upon i j the pro-slavery party in Kansas; but all these assertions, without evidence or rea son, are not sufficient to convince an intclli'ent people that the democratic party is o 1 i i J responsible for all the outrages committed in Kansas and elsewhere. They say the 1 democrats are responsible for every life that l;as been lost in Kansas, and that the republican party is innocent, either as prini cipal or accessory, it is an old maxim, j that it takes two to make a quarrel, and in circumstances similar to those which have j transpired and are now transpiring in Kanjsas,wo think the rule will hold good. ! Docs it look reasonable, that a party com- ; posed cf the material that tho republican 13, will permit their rights to be trampled upon, without making resistance? Is it not possible that the abolitionists have, at some j time since the organization of that ten ito j rv, infringed upon the lights of the oppoj shion, sufficient to provoke resentment? In order to see whether the republican party possesses this virtue of "long suffering" or not, for which they take unto themselves so much praise, we shall make a few extracts from some letters published in the Northern Indianian, from J. B. Chapman, formilv of Kosciusko countv, but now a resident of Kansas. The Indianian prefaces the letters wiih the remark that "These letters will be read with interest by the people of Kosciusko and adjoining counties, from the fact that the writer of them is well known throughout Northern Indiana as a man of much ability" "Let every person, friend or foe, read this letter and then juJge whether there is any just j cause for all this ffusV about Kansas and j Border Ruffianism," Arc. So, from the ; 1 V-. rnrtr.n m am 1 1 i ' 1 j -iTI it will lirv ctAn tl n i Mr. Chapman is good republican aulhotii ty, and a fair exponent of republican prin ciples. Wo ask the reader to consider well the sayings of this prominent republican and compare his and his party's principles j wilh the piinciples of the democratic par-; I ty; and if the sentiments contained in the j following extracts, coincide wiih his, he j may consider himself a full-blown repub-j lican. In the lirst letter, afier disposing of pre liminaries, he makes use of the following! treasonable language: 'I hope the conilL-t .hat has commenced j will not cease until the icholc United States : engaged; th we may expect a chance of ; the severance of the Luton, and the downfall ! . c., t 1 1 , . 1 . .of Slavery. I hat anticipated assistance ; from the States long before this time, but it is tale hr.pcd that every man uitl have icar ' at his oirn doo', and can ihiht vt home. If i the North :i:d Suth will fight each other j at home, we can whip out what is here j We are now preparing clubs and bows and ; ros to light with It is oxpec.ed that Uve will have to light the I nited Stales' 1 ... , r .1 . s tru(Jp.s and vret tr.em out of the way. ; truu (Th; i tolls are our own.) There are! 11, .uUtean party pure and unadulterated j olitioni.m. It is clear from the above, j :.d incitements of manv others of the; ""v"" lhjlt rct aad aim of tho republican lrty. is to .nflamc the passions of northern fanatics, send aid and ufacturing lies, assisted by the tag-ragand fag-end of all sectional political parties, may (loan irreparable injury to the Union, which has received the support of the great and good of all parties. Fearing that we may do the writeran in of lhem; Iet none PaS3 they will cut our lhroal lh fi,8t FPortuuity. If murder ever wrankled in a man's heart, does it not in his? Was there ever a party, before the republican, who desired that their political enemies might be depiived of Vfef The republicans in the States preach that Sharpe's rifles are better than bibles; the republicans in Kansas tell their brethren in the Suites to "let i.one pass;" tc. Beautiful language! liberal ' sentiment! worthy of its author and there publican party! The following is characteristic of the "freedom fthriekcrs:" "I am much surprised that no one goes to Washington and kills Pierce." This fchows the will to annihilate the Chief Magistrate of a mighty nation and for what? Merely oi account of a differ-. ously strike down the head of a nation and and deprive him 0 a right guaranteed to every man by nature, is a proper person to send to "fight for freedom!" He who would take the life of the highest officer in the world, that a nigger might put on an ; equality with him and his brethren, (which, in many instance, wouM b hut a slight
elevation,) is a good tool for the republican party. We make another extract, that there may be 7io doubt in regard to the principles advocated bv the republican-abolition rjartv
Kansas; and if, as they say, (heir party 1 Km is "national, they hold the same principles here and elsewhere: "We do not expect any sevens contest until the first of July, but war now rages Ii e. i t l- i ti. .:ii in aw us lury; uuu i cio nope u win ue general over the whole United States until every Slave State is driven from the Union. We are preparing as fast possible, and determined to carry the war into Africa." Those who think that the republican-abolition party in Kansas is not responsible for any of tho outrages committed there, can see that thev arc as much for war as anv party in that territory. The spirit manifested in these letters, and in a majority of the abolition journals throughout the north, is incompatible with law and order; and had they sufficient numbers, armed with Sharpe's rifles, what plan would they adopt for the establishment of their political principles? Let honest men judge. Their cry is "Fremont! Free Kansas! Free Speech!" when, at the same time, these heart-bleeding philanthropists would "kill a democrat orpro-slavery man" on account j of his opinions say nothing of speech! They would make Kansas free only for negroes and those who admire them; a man holding a different opinion in regard to domestic institutions, would jeopardize his life by remaining in their territory. It has been but a short time since a severance of the Union, and rebellious doctrines, received but little support; but now we meet with such documents almost daily men preach it in the synagogues and highways. vT We still have confidence in the capacity of tho people for self-government; and ,ave a Hvelv hope, that the present political crisis may pass as did that of lfJoO leaving the Union and its blessings more dear to the people than before. And though many of the patriotic statesmen, who laid aside former political differences, and bat tled manfully for the Constitution and the Union, have passed awav, yet, their works and deeds remain a perpetual memento of tlR.ir devotion to their cuntrv. We hoDe and believe, that there is yet enough of that patriotic M.irii he hearts of the American peopl., to again contend for tho perpetuity of this confederacy; and as the cause is just, success '. be the reward The ballot-box--and not Sharpe's titlcsthe weapon of an intelligent and lawabiding people; and by it, we shall attain a victory as glorious as universal as lasting as triumphant! "Freedom Shriekers." A correspondent of the Huston Evening Traveler, savs it was his pleasure to listen to a sermon preached on Sunday last, by j Coway, a member of one of : im:i:.. : vsriU TIo !tl,c nrst fimihes in irgmw. He says r n t,e 1 .1 . 1 Mr. Conway is a "free and ordinal thmker and an independent acter." The Reverend gentleman, after prefacing his discourse with all thedignitv ves"d m him by the solemnity f the pulpit, a which he is permitted to dtsgrarc by permit sending forth his vile vituperations on the founders of this free government of ours, by exhorting his followers to "turn their attention to dis-union," in the event of slavery in Kansas, and goes on to say: "I make no appeal to slavery to bring us peace, it would be a hypocrite to do so, and hypocrisy is worse than Avar: but on you, freemen and fiiends of Humanity, I call to lend all your efforts for peace; to stand and shed your blood, if need be, for peace." What a beautiful paragraph for a man to utter, that professes to be "called and sent" to preach "peace good will to men?" But let us go on a little further and read; he says: "As soon as war in Kansas becomes inevitable, as it will be when it is decided that the present policy towards that territory is to be continued we should earnest ly turn our attcnt'on to dis-union." Do you hear that? I oyou comprehend the last word of that paragraph? Heaven grant that you may never utter such a sentence. Who is it talks thus lightly of the dissolution of this glorious Union, that our fore-fathers faugh t and bled to gain as an inheritance for us and our posterity? as an asylum for tho oppressed of all nations? It is the republican party it is they who j hire those Ministerial demagogues to stand up in the pulpit consecrated to tho Lord, and preach dis-union. It is they who would destroy the Union at a blow, had they the power. In another paragraph, speaking of the instruments to bo used in the civil war which he and all the rest of the "freedom shriekers" are laboring to bring about, he say 8, "The boar selects tuehes, the bco a sting. 'Its proper power to hurt each Creature fori. Hulls use their horns nnd Asses use their hecld." The Jiev. Mr. Conway is a fair exponent of black republican principles, and the smaller organs of tho party are r.o less zealous preaching up dis-union than he, in many places in the Union. Thanks be to good fortune wo have no ministers of hat kind here, and hopo and pray we never shall. Remember the District Convention on the 31st iu!t , at this place, let there be a genera! turn out of the untcrrified. A full delegation from Stark is requested.
Foll Raising. The democrats had a large and enthusiastic meeting on Saturday last, at Wolf Creek Mills. The demecracy of Green Township had previously prepared a tall hickory poll, and, on the evening before, they were informed that speakers from town would be there to address the meeting. There was a large number in attendance suppose! to be the largest political gathering ever assembled in the county, outside of Plymouth. The poll is between eighty and ninety feet high, on the top of which is a small flag with stars ad stripes and a representation of the American Eatrle. Two feet
lower is a large pair of buck's horns, and about seventy-five or eighty feet up from the surface of the ground is a large flag, beating this motto: "3uciiAXAxand Breckinridge, Willard and Hammond, the Constitution and Union," thirteen stripes and THIRTY-ONE stars. The poll was raised, after which three cheers were given for the democratic nominees, and the Union. The meeting then repaired to the grist-mill, where they were entertained for the space of two hours, bj Messrs. Ciiamplin and Reeve, who read their proof from the constitution, public documents and o'her reliable sources, instead of taking for proof tho writings of anonymous Kansas abolition scribblers, as the opposition do, and showed out the inconsistencies of the so-called republican party, and made made an impression on the minds of the people of Green and Union that tell loudly in favor of the democratic party, at the ballot box, in November next. We were pleased to sec so many present. Every one seemd to be actuated by the some motives a love of the Union and the principles that maintain it. The meeting then adjourned with three cheers for Wolf Creek. New York Tribune. Those Greely-ites who have large packages of Tribunes sent to the Post-oflice at this place, to one address, and wish to compel the P. M. to mark and distribute them according to their orders, had better keep their shirts on and not make too many threats of what they intend doing with the P. M. if he don't camply with their requirements. The Post Master is no more bound to mark those Tribunes, than the Queen of England has to rule America, only that he may do it for sake of accommodation, spending about a week's time in the course of a year, thereby saving Horace Greely tho necessity of hiring a clerk to do what these gentlemen (?) say they arc going to compel the P. M. to do. We have been in a post-office once or twice in our life have read the post-oflice law, and have never, as yet, been able to find any section in the law that relates to compelling post-masters to mark Horace Greely's Tribunes, when they conic done up in bundles of twenty and thirty, more or less, as the case may be. The P. M is bound to deliver all letters j and papers acccording to their address, as nrar as he can, and wheu that is done, he has complied with the requirements of the law; therefore, we contend that ihc P. M. has no right to break open these bun dies of Tribunes, but is reqvired by law to deliver them to the per on to whom they aro addressed collect postage on tho whole of them, and tho person who receives them can dispose of them as he may see proper. The Tribune has a large circulation, and the editor makes a clerk out of almost every post-master, without paying them anything for it, and, no doubt, saves hundreds if not thousands of dollars every year by the operation. But Horace is a big man and people must do as he says. He is a rich man, and sends his paper broadcast over the world, and his followers must help him make more money by comnelling P. M's. to work for him for nothing. Them that will, may. We are authorized to stale, that whereever C. II. Reeve may have an appoint ment to speak on the political questions of the day, he most earnestly solicits the speakers of tho republican party to m et him. Timely notice should be given so that all parties can attend and a fair hearing had on both sides of the question. All appointments made by Mr. Reeve will bo filled, unless prevented by sickness or unforeseen business matters. Republicans? walk up and give a "reasou for the faith that is in you." The La Porte Times speaks as follows of of the address delivered here on the '1th inst: Orations. Among the numerous orations delivered on tho 4th of this month which aro coming in upon us now in the various newspapers", wo have Been none that compare with Mr. Packard's of Plymouth, in point of ability. We have a few more copies of the address above referred to, any person wishing a copy can be accommodated by calling at this office. Godky's Lady's Book for August, has been received. It contains an immense quantity of reading matter; all the late fashions; splendid engravings, music tc, nnd is without doubt is tho most useful and interesting piint for the ladies published in America. This is a good time to subscribe for the Lady's book, as July commences the 53rd volume. The price of the Magazine is $3; we aill furnish it and the Democrat nt 83,00 per year in advance. Specimen numbers can be seen at anv time at thn office.
The State Sentinel says that the Democratic Mass Meeting held at Indianapolis on the 17th inst., was the largest gathering of the people ever held in the State. The best of feeling prevailed, and nothing occurred during the day or night of an unpleasant nature. The fusions held their meeting on the 16th inst., was well attended and the best of feeling seemed to prevail during the day and evening. The torch light procession was represented to be a Fplendid affair. What attracted the attention of the bystanders more than any thing else, was several negroes which were assigned conspicuous places iti the procession; carrying
flags and mottoes, for taste. There is no accounting Hard Up. It has been currently reported by the fusionists, thatE. R. Dwinnell of West Tp., has left tho democratic party, and is in for Fremont. Mr. Dwinnell authorizes us to say that the report is an unmitigated falsehood, without a shadow of a foundation in Truth. Try again gentlemen. The steam boat Northern Indiana, belonjrinf; to the. Michigan Southern Railroad line, was burned between Buffalo and Toledo, on Thursday of last week. The officers and crew were saved. Some fifteen or twenty passengers were missing. . 4 Mr. A. Boyd, advertises Undertaking in another column of to-days paper. He keeps on hand Mctalic and Wood Coffins, and a hearse for the accommodation of the Citizens of this place. See advertisement. Brown & Baxter have added to their extensive assortment of stoves and tinware; hardware of every description suited to this market to which they invite tho attention of purchasers. See advertisement. The Plymouth Banner has again changed hands, and supports Fremont and the balance of 'cm. The first number is imbued with a liberal spirit, and evinces ability in the editorial department. It will doubtless receive the support of its party. Within the past week, wo have printed several neat Flags for our democratic friends in different parts of the county. Every township should be provided with a Flag, when the expense is so trifling. The Plymouth Democrat, in speaking ot a certain person says ho is a democrat of the "rale old son." If he is one of the "rale oAVsort," one of 1849, he must stand on the Republican Platform, and go in for excluding slavery from the territories. No democrats but those of the "rale new sort" can stand on the Old Line Cincinnati Platform. South Rend Register. The gentleman alluded to adheres to the doctrines of Jefferson, Monroe, and Jackson; is for the Constitution, tho Union and popular sovereignty; voted for Polk, Cass, Pierce, and will vote for Buchanan: hence, he don't stand on the Republican Platform, but on on0 furmC( hy delegates from every State, and on one, when adopted by the American people next November, will not "let the Union slide." i7Ve understand that Mr. Sumner, (one of our citizens,) writes back from Lawrence K. T., to one of his fiiends in this town that he was robbed of 5J0, and had one of his horses sU len by the Border Ruffians. THAT KANSAS LETTER. Our readers will recollect that we published a letter, written by Mr. Joxes, on Kansas affairs, not long since, to his son-in-law Mr. Bkowxlee. The letter caused quite an excitement in the abolition ranks; some pronounced it a forgery, others that wc had garbled the letter, and lastly that he had probably joined the Democratic party; about two weeks since he returned with his family to this county. On last Saturday he attended tho fusion convention at this place; several of the abolitionists were busily engaged talking with him every opportunity through the day; in the evening he called at our office and requested us to publish an explanation of his letter, which will be found below. We have no disposition to do Mr. Jones injustice, and willingly give him the benefit of any explanations that he sees proper to make. It has occurred to us that it would probably be more satisfactory to all parties connected with this unfortunate affair to republish the letter so that the explanation can bo duly appreciated. We would remark, in reference to the editorial that accompanied the publication of the letter, that tho character Mr. Jones sustained in this community, prior to his leaving for Kansas, warranted us in making tho remarks we did. To our fusion fiiends we would say that they are entirely welcome to all the political capital that they can make out of this affair. JONES vs. JONES. Osawatomie, K. T., June 1, 185G. We aro all well at this time as far as health is concerned, but a great deal troubled in mind. The state of affairs in this Teriitory are in a dreadful situation. We are here in the midst of murderers and plunderers. But a short time ago the pro-slavery party destroyed tWD printing presses in Lawrence, and the free State hotel and some other buildings. Since that, the abolitionists about ten miles from them, stole their horses and rode them off, and I heard to-day, that there was four more men killed night before last, not far from Lawrence; they have got six or seven of the men that is supposed had a hnnd in tli ? first murder, but I f ar thv will
not gtrt tho principle ones soon. Thetc is the greatest excitement among the people here, at this time, that I over saw any place, and the abolitionists do more mischief, and make more trouble than any other party in the Territory, and 1 believe if we had none of them here we could get along very well. Now I would give anything if we could have peace in this country. I would rather live here than in any country I ever lived in before, if we could have peace; but as things are now if I could sell my claim I would leave right away. 't ft 4ÄT Tt T i,-, ,r.nns tiof -
could live here in peace, and that you would come in the fall, and we would get to see you all, and live close together once more, but 1 uon t oeneve mere win be any peace here as long as there is any abolitionists in this country, for they seem determined to keep up a fuss. 1 would advise vou at this time to hold on and make no i further preparations to come to this coun try until times get more peaceable. It is a fine pleasant country to live in, and I would like to live here if I could live in peace; but who wants to Hue in a country where, when they lay down at night they don't know but thev wMll be murdered before morning? I will write to you again, soon, and let vou know how things are going on here, so 1 good-bye, until you hear from me again. SAMUEL JONES. Tuesday Morning, June 3 Times are growing worse every day we hear of men be'.ng killed, and men's lives are continually in danger wherever they go. We are going to leave the Territory in a day or two, if we are permitted to go. We don't know where we will stop if we leave here. Don't write to us any more until you hear from us again. S. J. Thursday Noon, June 5. We are now in Missouri. We left the Territory yesterday morning. We don 't know where we will stop yet, but probably in the north pari of Missouri. I think the abolitionists intend to make a clean sweep of it before they stop, for they arc committing murders and robberies every day, and a man that does not side with them is maiked, and is in danger all the time. I will write every week until we stop, and then I will write to you and let you know w here we are. S. J. Maxi.vcukee Lake, July 19, 185G.

to myselt and friends. The first part of the letter was written with the expectation of sending it by mail, and such was the state of affairs at the time, that no communication could find its way out of the Teriitory which did not give a perverted awl pro-slavery statement; therefore I was forced to write as I did. Directly after writing I left the Territory jand cartied my letter with me, making ad ditions to it from time to time, hoping that it might se-ve me as a pass, (because of its tone) should I fill into the hands of the 1 1 1 . ! wi:h valuables of any kind". Such were the circumstances under which I wrote; and in no other way could I have given the desired word of warning to my son-in-law Mr. Rrowni.ee. To have .riven hima "nlain statement of the difficulties," would have j been to ensure the destruction of my letter before it was fairly started upon i s mission, and to hazard the safety of my family. Yours. Arc, SAMUEL JONES. LATER FROM EUROPE. ARRIVAL OF THE BALTIC. Nfw York, July G. The steamship Baltic, from Liverpool, with dates to the 25th ult., arrived about noon. The Baltic sailed at 1 o'clock on the afternoon of the 2olh. The London papers in their summaries for the week, in regard to American relations, say that, judging from interior newspapers, it would seem that the country is delighted with the turn American difficulties have taken. It is surprising how much the public has become enlightened on the subject by the cheap press. Every paper ofthat class 'devoted itself to a national expositicn of our American difficulties. The country also appeared pleased with the c.omiuaii on of Buchanan. Our Liverpool correspondent adds that the public feeling on Ameri can affairs has now subsided so much as to have no longer any unsettling effect on the market. iii . Although several leading papers yet keep grumbling, the London limes advises Ureat lint.un to hurry up the settlement of the Central Ameiiean question before the election of Mr. Buchanan. The loss of the ship Ocean Queen, from Loudon to New York, is recorded at Lloyd's. The ship Moro Castle, of Windsor, has been found abandoned, with masts gone, and towed to Crookhaven. The ship Unicorn, from Liverpool for Boston, was abandoned at sea on th? 7th of June. Sunday music continued in Parks, and was paid fr by private subscription. The ship Marco I'olo had armed at Liverpool from Melbourne with 31(),(X)0 in sold. Letters from Berlin, June 21, state that owing to the mediation of Russia; arrangements have been concluded between Denmark and the United States, in virtue of which a provisional toll convention will remain in force till June, 1857, and the Sound Dues will be collected under the convention as formerly. The French p.ipers aie discussing the subject of the Empress Regency. The public seem much interested in it. The Russian Emperor has constructed a new Cabinet, including (Jortschakoff, Landiskoi, Ostcn-Sacken and Orloff. Advices from Constantinople confirm the statement that the Russians demolished the fortifications of Reni and Ismael. The Turks recall the dechratin rf Lord

Clarendon, that their fortifications should not be injured. Advices from Parma state that the Gr.lnd Duchess, while attempting to leave the dominions, Was arrested by the Austrian authorities, and was obliged to return to the capital. On her remonstrating, shs was told as the Government of Parma had called on the Austrian troops, it was 1cessary that the sovreign should remain to countenznee their acts. A letter from Malta, dated June 18, says that the Anglo-Italian Legion had disband ed, and that part of them will go to Genoa,
