We do not intend to sail under other men's colors; we expect to "paddle our our own canoe;'' or, in otherwords, we shall conduct the Democrat in our own way, leaving others perfectly free to f rm their own opinions, as they miy choose. Those who profess to know so much about our affairs, and are taltin" ! so much trouble unon themselves, will do i well to take notici that all original articles, in the editorial columns of the Democrat, not signed by the assumed or proper name of tha author, ate written by thc published editors. Congressional Convention. There is soma talk of changing this convention from this place to La Porte or Bradford, on account of the small pox existing here. This would seem, to citizens of othor places, to hi a sufficient cause for tho change. Wc have heard of but two new cases of small pox since our issue of the 3rd. People come and go a3 usual. By the first of July, or before that time, lliero will be no danger whatever, unless houses are visited j where it exists. We hope the change will ; not bo made. But shvali a majority of ! tho Committee Uli.-ve it to be for the best interest of those who will attend, to hold tl.c convention at bratlwrd or La Porto, wo Shall be content. 3f"The following is a list of Assessments of Taxe3 Lr the yesr 1858, as levied by tho Trustees of ti e different townships of Marshall county: UNION TOWNSIIir.

JC3Many of the papers in different parts of the Statft are urging the propriety of re

pealing our divorce laws. The people are becoming tired of paying the expenses of wun, a ,arge pan oi wnose is occupied in trying divorce cases for those who have no actual or permanent residence in the State. Cases of this kind are numerous; we have had instances in this county. A divorce was granted at the last term of the Common Pleas Court in this place, to a gentleman who had probably never been in the county until the dav the papers were filed (or securing a divorce; ho look his departure the next day after the divorce was granted, and has not claimed a residence in this county since. If those who seek to obtain divorces in our courts, were compellen to pay taxes, and discharge the general duties of citizens, we are of the opinion that the number of applications would be materially lessened. It is to be hoped that our next Legislature will so change our divorce laws H3 to render complete justice, not only to the applicants for divorces, but the citizens and tax-payers generally. jCSTThe Delphi papers give an account of the murder of a man by the name of Morrison, last week.

Democratic County Convention. There will be a Democratic County Convention held at the Couri-house in Ply

mouth, on the ! 5th day or August, j 1853, at one o'clock P. J., to nominate candidates for Couaty Commissioner fori the third District, Treasurer, Sheriff, Au-' ditor. Surveyor and Coroner. The Democrats in the several townships j are requested to meet in Township con- j vention, on the 17 day of July, next, to elect delegates to the County Convention. This step is highly necessary, and , is most earnestly urged upon the Demo-1 crats of every township, and it is hoped I that no township will negelct it, and par-1 ticularly that Democrats will not permit ! any others to meet and appoint for them, ! while they stay at home. The time hon-! ored usage of the party in holding Del, gate conventions, has been followed by j harmony and success, while Miss meetings and the action of self constituted delegates, have generally resulted in confusion and discord; therefore it is hoped that each township will select delegates who will at-! tend the County Convention. It has been thought that an apportionment of dele-! gates basd on the last Congressional vote, j would be as equal as it can be made and i that ratio has been adopted. This will give each township delegates as follows: I North 5; German 7; Bourbon G; Tip-! pecanoe 4; Green 7; Union 8; West 5; Polk 5; Centre 23. Let every Democrat consider it his duty ' to attend the toicnship meeting, and see that j delegates are selected who will attend. ' We have a vigilant and harmonious set of opponents to meet, and when we begin, if wc act promptly and with willingness, our usual success will reward the elfort. Turn out then to the township MeetIXGS. At the same tima and place, a Cindidate for Representative will be nominated for tho District composed of tho counties of Marshall and Stark. The Townships will do well to take some Action in reference to this matter. A cordial invitation is hereby given to the Democracy of Stark, to meet tho Do- j mocracy of Marshall, in Plymouth, at! that lime. By order of the Central Committee. T. McDONALD, Chairman, C. II. Reeve, Sec'y. Foreign Jews. From intelligence by the steamer Nova Scotia, we glean the following: GREAT BRITAIN. In the Hous3 of Commons, on the 1st inst., Mr. Lindsay aked the government if j it was truo that tho United Slates vessels i on the Havana or western coast of Africa had been fired into, boarded, searchud, or detained by Biiiish cruisers, and if so, by what authority, or under whos? in-' simctions did tha commanders of these j ships so act j Mr, Fitzgerald said tho government had no official information, but they had rea- i son to believe the reports to be exaggera-! ted. j They were as anxious as the American ' Government to avoid all cause of com- j plaint, and strict orders had been issued j lo the officers in the stations, to be especi- i ally cautious. j Tho vessels having the telegraph cab'o j had started for the west of Ireland.

The News from Utah The Floofls. St. Louis, June 14. A dispatch from Leavenworth, dated 11th. by U. S. express to Boonville, says the sixth column of tioops will not march until to-morrow, 12ih. Gen. Harney and staff, with an escort of 45 men of the 7th infantry, under Capt. McLaws, leave the day following this division. This departure from the dates already fixed for the marching, is owing to the heavy rains which have occasioned a freshet of all 8tnalljstreams. Tho bridge over Salt River has been carried away but, is being replaced. The report relative to the cutting off of Marcy's train has no foundation in fact. Dispatches from Cairo states that on Saturday, p. m., a crevasse opened on the Mississippi side of the ton, through which the water poured at a fearful rate, tilling up the whole space between the levies, and is now running ihe embankment on the Ohio side; about a thousand feet of the central railroad, washed away.

He states, further, that, immediately on being informed of the offensive proceedings, ho dispatched the sloop Jasper after the Styx and other cruisers, with orders to to bring them in, intending to hold tho officers to a 6trict account. These dispatches wero communicated to the President and Cabinet, and produced a feeling of relief.
