Bailey to the Chair, and appointing Thos. Newhouso and George II. Thayer Vice Presidents, and A. Johnson, Secretary. A motion was made and carried, to nppoiut one from each township to apportion the vote, and also one from each township on resolutions. At this juncture of the proceedings,-tlu editor of tho Republican mijht havu been saen wending his way throU the aisle, toward tho Lnairmm a desl&7wilh surprise and indignation depicted on his countenance, llo was infjrtnel that he had been Appoiuted Secretary, whereupon hß arose and entered his protest agiiast the proceeding. II said that tho Convention had bear, advertised to meet at one o'clock, at uhlcli time tht delegates previously appointed would meet and make the nominations that thev were taking authority oa themselves that did not belong to them, and that this moda of procedure would breed discord and dissatisfaction, which might break up the Convention, He made a motion to adjjurn until the hour advertised, which ras voted down.

A motion was then xr.ade to adjourn to the rove, near the Seminary which was agreed to. After speeches were made by almost every prominent Republican present, as to what would ba the most expeditious plan nominate their candidate?, it was moved to proceed at o;ice to ba'Iot for Auditor which resulted as folio vt: A Fuller 68; John Co!eman, 3i; A. C. Elliot 5; I. N. Morris 5. Judge Fuller was deared the unanimous nominee. N. H. Oglesbee received the nomination for Treasurer on tha first ballot.

Barnard was declared the nominee. The ballot for Commissioner resulted as follows: 30 for George Pomeroy,3 for R. Schroeder, 44 for Kyser. Kyser was djclared tht nominee. 0. W. Morris for Surveyor, and Gin. Baily for Coroner, were ruminated by acclamation. The ballot for Representative was made with the following result: Jas. 0. Parks 50; N. E. Manville ("M. E. NV'-cprrespoud-ent of the Republican,) 13; Thomas'Newhouse 9 ; W. J. Hand 7. Mr. Parks was tlecUreJ the nominee for Representative, aud was called upon to "make a speech." He app3.tr cd on the stand, and stood for some minutes looking over the crowd, as if waiting for an outburst of enthusiasm. No applausa was given him. He then proceeded " to tell his "lonstituenis I" that hii "heart was not big enough for to not 'large enough for to, was not capaple of expressing his thanks for the honor he had received at their hand.' He said that he "had been in the Legislature .once; L knew how the thing had to be done. Ho waa agoing to keep a sharp lockout for the Erie and Wabash Canals. Ho was agoing to expose the outrageous extravagance of the National Administration, also o! th State Administratis, rnd waa agoing to show the frauds perpetratjdon the Tceasnry ot Marsnaii oun ij At to tbi charge of fraud upon our

County Treasury, so recklessly alleged by Mr. Parks, we nead only mention that the Receipts and Expenditures of the Coun-

ty are on in the Auditor's of - fee open to all for examination -and the County Officers are willling to give a certified copy of the same. We suggest, to Mr. Parks, that he, or some of his friends, for him, the propriety of getting a copy before, he is "turned loose" in the District. Eds. Dem Mr. Parks said that he wa3 "agoin for to stump the counties; he was agoing into every hamlet and neighborhood, and with the Republican banner in his hand, he would lead his party to victory. A voice: 'Jim, when you get down to the Legislature, 1 want you to make Bright and Fitch resign their seats in the Senate. Laughter. A second voice: "Who elected B. and F?" Third voice: "M. II Wier." It is due to Mr. Parks to say, that at the close of his speech two and a half dozen men near the stand clapped their hands, an umistakeable sign that they were pleased with his speech! Anonymous Communications. We received, two weeks ago, three comunications unaccompanied with the real name of the authors. The author's name must, in every instance, accompany articles intended for insertion in the Democrat, or no notice will be taken of them. We are responsible for all articles written by ourselves, and we expect those writing for our Paper, to be responsible for their articles. If contribuotrs are ashamed lo let their names be known, or are afraid we will tell on them, we would advise them not to write for our Paper, atail. If they cannot place confidence enough in us to let their names be known, we can't place confidence enough in them to publish their articles. The articles above referred to are worthv of publication, and will appear as soon aathe author sends his or her name. They are signed "S." 9 ;tSr Wo failed testate in our last issue that tho notorious Jim Lane, of "Bleeding Kansas" notoriety, has been acquitted of the murder of Jenkins, on thground of justifiable homicide. Although he has been acquitted by a jury of his countrymen, the stain of this cold blooded murder will follow him to his grave. jC37Owing to an unexpected amount of adver.iseinents and othor matter necessary to appear in this issue, we are compelled to omit the proceedings of the Congressional Convention. As we gave an extended synopsis of the proceedings last week, it is not imperatively necessary that we publish the official report, at this late day. Several editorial articles, intended for this number, ate deferred until next week. jt The Ladies Ihm; Magazine, edited by T. Arthur and Virginia F. Townsend. Address T. S.

We can recommend it to our Lady friends, as being oie of the best Periodicals of the day. I M jr" Godeys Lady's Rook, for August, hu been received. A hasty perusal of it brings us to the conclusion that this numIm is one among tho bast ever issued from the Press of L. A. Godey.

Free Lecture.

Prof. Jasper Packard, of the LaPorte Commercial and Collegiate Institute, will lecture to the citizens of Plymouth, on Wednesday evening of next week, at the M. E. Church. The subject of the lecture will be one of public interest, and all are invited to attend. To the Editors of tht Marshall County Denocrut. Sirs: I see in your paper of the 22d insl., tha4. my name has been announced as a candidate for Representative. I am obliged to the friends who announced it, whoever they may be for the compliment; but I desire to avoid being placed in a false position, and by your leave I will endeavor to avoid it by a few words to the people through your paper. I have no desire for office and am no office seeker. I have no longings for political place, power or fame, for reasons good to me; therefore I will not become a selfnominated or self-announced candidate for any office. If my services are desired by the people, and they so express themselves without compromising me. I will render the services; but I do not recognize even their right to compromise me. I have been urgently solicited by friends of all parlies to become a candidate. I was often requested to become a candidate for Congress. I entirely refused, and would accept of such a nomination only ou condition that the matter was settled in caucus outside of a convention, and the nomination, when made, made unanimous in the first instance. The use of my name before the late Congressional convention here, was wholly unauthorized by me, and against my expressed wishes and desire, and without my knowledge at the time. I am grateful to the friends who voted for me, as it was purely voluntary on their part. My views are these: if the people thiak my abilities are such that they should require me to exercise them in office pr vheir benefit, and see fit to place me there, I have no right to decline; while, if they do not call upon me unsolicited on my part, 1 h.ivc no i ight to force myself upon them. Therefore, if I ever become a public servant in any civil capacity, I must be announced, nominated and el acted, if at all, by those who desire my services, without solicitation from me. Nor will I suffer, even then, to have my name go into a convention in a scramble with self-seeking candidates, for even a nomination, and have it bandied about, carrying charges, true or false, and then receive a nomination by a bare majority. The people or their delegates should settic these matters among themselves, by conference, before they proceed to the final act of nomination. They should talk matters over, have an understanding, settle upon some one person whom they desire to present, and when the convention proceeds to the final act o nominating, let it be as near unanimous as possible on the first vote. It elevutes the candidate, creates and keeps up harmony, clothes the party with dignity, commands the respect of even the disatisficd and the inimical, stops the mouth of slander, sends forth the candidate endowed by a full expression of the public opinion of his party, stops men from saying that he is either a demagogue or an interloper, and compels them to 6ay that the people t)f his party have confidence in him. Although it will be a pecuniary los to attend a session of the Legislature, and to me, no particular gratification of pride except so far as it expresses the conBdence of my fellow-citizens, yet, if I am nomiualed and elected, I will consent to serve and will endeavor to discharge my duties for the benefit of the whole people of the district and of the State, to the best of my abilities. The Senate haying confirmed the election of two years ago, there will be no U. S. Senators elected by the coming Legislature. I know of m political questions that need occupy tie time. Our laws need revision if laws ev ( r did. Every dead man's estate becomes insolvent, no matter how much it is worth; laxee are oppressive. Road and School laws impracticable; men are elected to offices and the acceptance is forced upon them by penalties for refusal, and no one receives a reasonable compensation for services demanded. Jmportant trusts are placed in the hands of officers and they are not guarded by sufficient securities. It is high time that some legislating was done for the people and the State of Indiana, as there has been enough for "Buncomb." It requires some practical knowledge of business to do it, and it behooves the people to act prudently, if they would subserve their own interests. If they wish me to act for them, they will now know ray views; and if they claim my services, they should give me the equivalent of at least, expressing their wishes with some unanimity and cordiality, and not make a target of me for enemies to shoot at against my will, nor require me to assume a position as a candidate for their benefit, in such a manner as to cause me to be viewed under a false estimate. It is hardly necessary for mo to say more. Begging your indulgence for the epace I have occupied in your columns, I am, respectfully yours, C. II. REEVE. Pittsburg, July 24. George W. Cass lias resigned th Presidency of the Pittsburg, FL Wayne and Chicago R. R., and Edgar Thompson appointed to fill ths vacancy. Masnfleld, 0. July 24. At seven o'clock, this morning, an J. H. Cook, proprietor of the Wiler House in this City, was standing in the public room in his house, conversing with Mr, A. T. Bates, Mr. Samuel Bullett, dagurreansrtist, stepped into the doorway unperceived and discharged a revolver at Mr. Cook, the sho' taking effect in the right side, inflicting a severe but not dangerous wound. Mr. Bullett is under arrest, and will have his trial on Monday next. Mr. Cook is one of our most resectable nd enterprising citizens. -

Heeting or the Candidates Ter Congress. Lapcrte, Ind.. July 22, 1853. Col. Walkcr and Mb. Colfax, having met togethei, ?ith mutual friends, for purposes of consuUation in regard to the Congressional Caotass in th 9ih District, there wer present with Mr. C, Messrs.

U. a. Koberts and W. H. H. Whitehead. and with Col. W. Messrs John Eason and John B. Fravel. Mr. Colfax, being invited by Col. Walker to make such propositions as he saw fit, proffered to him for acceptance either one of the following: 1. To make a joint canvass of the District in a thorough manner, as has been done in previous campaigns. 2. For each to canvass the country appointments separately, and to unite in a joint canvass of the county seats. 3. For each to canvass the whole District separately. To which Mr. Walker objected. 1st. Because a canvass of the District by Townships would be inconsistent with the condition of his health, which is not good. 2d. Because it seemed to him improper that the canvass sould be made in any manner other than jointly by the candidates. Mr. Walker modified the propositions cf Mr. Colfax f.s follows: That the canvass be made jointly, and that it be confined to tho county seats of the several counties of the Congressional District. To which Mr. Colfax responded ThU such a canvass, so limited in its ex ten:, would not be be satisfactory to to the people of the District, and that therefore he could not assent to it. Whereupon it was agreed that the respective propositions be reduced to writing, and signed by the conferees; and the meeting adjourned. J. C. Walker, Schuyler Colfax, Geo. B. Roberts, Wm. II. II. Whitehead, John Easox, J no. B. Fravel. Note. It is but just and proper that the attention of tho reader should be directed to the character of tho propositions above published. The first in orderviewed in connection with the poor health of ig Democratic nominee could not be taken into consideration. It i3 out of the question for him to commence the canvass in a few days, and continue it in the manner proposed by Mr. Colfax, until the day of the election. A part of proposition No. 2, "for each candidate to canvass the country appoiutmenls separately, and to unite in a joint canvass at the county seats" like proposition Na. 3, is what would be termed in the code, irregular and out of order. The question to bo determined by the candidates was, "will they may make a Joint canvass, under rules mutually agreed I upon?" If not, it only remains for ach to follow tho direction of Ins own judgment without any arrangement with the other. That part of the proposition of Mr. Colfax which was regular, and in order, was actually accepted by his competitor, in this modification: "that the-canvass bo made jointly, and that it be confined to the county seats of the several counties of the Congressional District." If there was any advantage in this, it would accrue to the Republican candidate, inasmuch a3 he has canvassed the district three times, and has scw.i his sentiments broadcast among his constituents, through the instrumentality of speeches delivered and published at the V..!. .1 TT 1 national uapuoi. lie aissenis, nowever, irom tho mouincation ot ins proposition, on tho ground that 4acanvas3, so limited in its extent, would not be satisfactory to the people." Upon this point, it is only necessary to remark, that, in most of the States, a canvass ot tho county seats, by candidates for Congress, is all that is expected or desired by the people. The custom prevailing in some parts of the country, requiring candidates for Cotigress to stump the townships of a large district, is reprehensible, and the people distinctly appreciate tho fact. ' It n an unnecessary tax upon the health, strength and the time of the candiJates, and results in no practical good. Candidates for office should meet face to face, and dhcuss the issues between them, as frequently as is necessary to enable them to be heard and judged by the people. This much the Democratic candidate was anxious to do, and this the Republican candidate declines, and thus the question between them rests. Peace to its sleep. <Laporte Times>. ---<>--- Return or the Mormons— Destructive Fire. St. Louis, July 27. Dispatches from St. Josephs, to the 22d, per steamer D. A. January, states that advice from Salt Lake City to July 3d have been received. The Mormons had all returned to the city and their homes in different parts of the Territory. Gen.

Col. John C. Walker. We observe that this gentlemen was nominated, on the 20th by the Democracy of the Ninth District of Indiana, as a candidate for Congress. A more gallant standard-bearer the party could not have. Younor Walker is the ver soul of honor.

and is highly esteemed by' all that knew him. He was chairman of the Committee Ion Edssation in the Legis!ature of 1853: was long the proprietor and editor of the Laporte Times, and for a considerable period fth Indianapolis Sentinel; was nominated tw years ago for Lieu. Gov., but declined contesting the prize. He will have to make the race against a very likely and a very strong man Hon. Schuvler Cclfax. Cincinnati Rnquircr. Col. Walker is well known to the Democracy of the State, and especially to the readers of the Sentinel, of which he was for a time editor and proprietor. He is one of the most talented, honorable and valorous of he young men of Indiana. He is in a district that gave over a thousand Republican majority two years agogreat odds against him but which we hope to see overcome, and it will be, if the Democracy of the "bloody Ninth" rally to support their gallant leader, as in the days of yore, when triumphant over the opposition.

" Pkab Sir : My wife had been afflicted five years with a cough, and last fall she lay in bed, not expected to lve. She had used Jayne's Expectorant, Lirerwort. and Tar, and Cod Lirer Oil. Her physic'an could do nothing more for her. She then commenced taking your Cukb and Consumption Syrup, and after using Are bottles was able to do ber work again. 1 hare al given it to other members of my family for severe coughs and colds. Its effects hare been such that f have con-lnded it is the bet medicine now in uss. My Rranton was afflicted with a disease of the lungs, for which the doctors could do nothing. One bottle of your fiyrup hut also cured him. A blacksmith in this place was afflicted in the same way, so as to be unable to work. One bottle of the Syrup benefited him so much tht he is at work again. 1 hare no doubt another bottle will perfect the cure.
