The sale of the Democrat office, which ha3 been on the tapi3 for a week or two, was consummated last Saturday. In taking leave of our patrons and friends, we have only to say that we do so for the good oi ourselves and families, in the hope that the patrons of tho establishment will not' be losers by the change. During the time we have conducted the

judge. Our editorial career has not been widely different from tha: of most country editors, being the source of anxieties, pleasures and hardships. We leave it with regret, for there are many pleasurable associations connected with it. For the uniform kindness which we have received from the puklic, and especially from the Knights of the Quill, we shall not soon be forgetful Our successor, W. J.

no doubt puhlish a paper worthy of a rcving patronage from the Democracy in par ticular, and the citizens in general. To tho kind friends who have aided us, we tender our thanks, and hope that manifold blessings will be showered upon them. Thoso indebted will find our books in tho room over Pierce's store, where we would ba pleased to settle with them. d. it p. Mcdonald. To lhc Render. Having purchased the printing establishment of the Marshall County Democrat, and intending tc make its continued publication our only avocation for the future (perhaps for lifo,) we may be expected to have something to say in the way of a soci il chat with our readers. We know that many of them hare been our long deroted friends, and we are glad to haro it in our power to renew our old associations with them in an Editorial capacity. Whether or not we have merited their continued esteem, and readiness to take us by the hand in welcoming us back to our old vocation amongst them, we hand over to tho past to determine. It does not belong 'the"p resent nor the future. It is a position we delight to fill, and one that we aro dttormined to honor so far as our every effort can enable us to do so, especially when we are so fully assured of the hearty co-operation of those for whom we are called upon to labor. We know tho people of Marshall and adjoining counties, to bo an honest, in dustrious and reading people, and to aid in more clearly establishing this well earned reputation, and in more fully developing all their resources as an agricultural, manufacturing and commercial community, shall ever be our highest aim. and from the manner in which we have beea welcomed back to the chair Editorial amongst them, we havo every confidence in their determination, to sustain us. So far as political matters are concerned, we do not propose to enter into tho discussion of any of the particular topics which now agitate the public mind. It is enough at present to avow our general position, and even this would not seem to be necessary with thoso for whom in former years, we labored in this capacity; but as we are measurably unacquainted with miny of tho readers of the Democrat, we may be expected to say at least that at the very inception of the popular sovereignty doctrine as engrafted in tho Kansas Nebraska bill of J 851, and so fully and uaerjui vocally endorsed in the Cincinnati platform of 185G, we fully espoused it. Since that time wo have most willingly endorsed and advocated tho principles of that platform, and hi tho nominee of the Charleston Convention who ho may that runs upon that platform, wo aro determined to ride upon it. Wo might just hero so clearly and substantially prove the correctness of our po sition by a bare allusion to tho commencement of the Kans.i3 difficulties, and their most happy and yet anticipated results that it 13 almost a punishment to forego tho privilege;. but our worthy predecessors must have room to Ulk of their past intercourse with their readeis, and besides, we mutt have room for other, and perhaps more interesting news items, and we shall defer further political discussions for other occasions. We shall endeavor to make tho Democrat an interesting news sheet not only to tho out-door world, but a welcorao visiter to tho family "circle keeping all ad-

vised of piatters that vro think vrill intoest them; and at the hands of its patrons, we ask their kind indulgence, and a warm and hearty support. Business flatter.

The Democrat will be continued to all of I the old" subscribers who do not order oth erwise, lhoso who do not order it discontinued upon the reception of this or the 2nd number, will bo considered Subscribers and charged accordingly. Returning this number to the office will be all that is necessary to notify a discontinuance, but this must be done or other notice given, or the paper will be continued. Those cf our merchants and other business men who row have advertisements in the paper by the year or otherwise, are earnestly solicited to continue their favors, and we should take it as no offence if they should largely increase them. We presume as liberal and accomodating arrangements can be made with us as were entered into with our predecessors. In the managodities, to paying money for what we need, especially when we have not got it. Mr.)ouglas and the Slave Trade In a letter to Col. Britain Judge Douglas declares himselef irrevocably opposed to the re-oponing of the African 6lavo trade. ur impression is, and was from the very commencemWit of the late noise and confusion about opening up anew tho slave trade, that thereS?ever was a sane politician either north or south, in favor of recognizing this trafic by governmental authorinear to deal" to ave prominent Demo crats denounce the project; and now since they can no longer cry "bleeding Kansas," and are to be deprived of the only morsel to roll under their tongues that the Democracy of the whole land are in faror of ths African Slave trade what will they do for political capital. Their thunder will all be knocked from under them, and "Othel lo's occupation's gone. jtiTThe Crawfordsviile Review of the Gth reports the death of two men in that vicinity, caused by the damps in a well. Their names wero Birchfield and Hamilton. The former wa3 diircrinjj a well for the latter when ho was suffocated and died, and Hamilton not knowing the cause of his sad fate, descended the well to assist Birchfield, but had not reached the bottom when he was attacked, and both were taken from the well, dead. itSTRAiLr.oAD CoxsnitACT. It is said that a conspiracy has been discovered among prominent and wealthy citizens of Fort Wayne, Ind., to tear up the railroad track at that place, because the company have refused to pay for stock killed by it. Detroit Free Frets, 2nd. This is altogether a mistake. A meeting was held in the eastern part of this county by citizens interested, to take what they might conceive to be necessary steps to recover damages for the stock killed by the Pittsburgh fort Way no and Chicago R. R. Some little intimatious about tearing up the track of the road may havo been thrown out in the heat of passion; but no "prominent and wealthy citizens cf Fort Wayne," had anything to do wih it, or any other "conspiracy," unless it is something of a very recent oiigin, of which we suppose our exchanges from that city would most likely know something. A public meeting, held in open day-light, pursuant to a previously advertised call for it, cer .inly could not bo construed into any very dangerous conspiracy, in any event. A Rfcw IHovc. Gov. Williard is absent at tho east on a visit to some of his friends, and tho States Prison Commissioners, through their Attorneys, Messrs. Eb. Dumont and Hon. J. W. Görden of Indianapolis, and M.Jenkinson of Fort Wayne, made application on Monday, Cth insl., to Judge Wallace of the Marion Common Pleaso Court, now in session at Indianapolis, for a mandamus to compel Lieut. Gov. Hammond, in tho temporary absence of Gov. Williard, to act up. on their report locating tho State Prison. There is considerable anxiety in many localities for the scttlemet of this question, but wo do not think tho present move will prove successful. Grand Organization. From accounts in the Chicago Times, we learn that the opposition in Illinois aro making one grand and universal effort for a thorough and as they probably flatter themselves, an effective organization throout tho entiro State. Gov. Lineoln who was so effectually defoated in his recent campaign with Senator Douglas, doubtless feels sore, and as "tho galled jade winces," ho is foremost, in the midst and uppermost in this work, preparatory to making this, perhaps their dying effort, to defeat tho Democracy in Illinois. From the efforts they aro making, an outsider might reasonably infer that they feared their entiro party was swallowed up by tho modern Egypt of that State. Money is to hi', collected by taxation and lavish-

ly expended for the enlightenment of their i

masses, as will bo better explained by tho following extract of a circular from tLe State Central Committee. "To accomplish this object a thorough organization of the Republican party it was resolved by our ifrends in the leoislature, and other prominent Republicans of j the State, to raise a fund to be expended in perfecting an organization and circulating papers and documents among the people. The amount assessed to your county by a committee, of which Mr. LIN. COLN was chairman, is S214." - . The President. In our next issue we will furnish our readers with a beautiful, mild and conciliatory article from the Washington Constitution the President's accredited orcan in relation to the certainty of his retirement at tho expiration of his present term which no Democrat can fail to approve and admire. Look for it and read it calmly and without prejudice. Fvery one is not a negro slave lover, who has soul enough to preside over tho destinies of the wholo Union. Our old Plymouth Banner was the second paper in this State that hoisted the name of Mr. Buchanan for the Presidency in 1856, somo time before he returned from his acceptable and highly popular mission to England. The New Albany Ledger was the first, and that paper so noted and published tho fact. And to sum up and take it altogether, wo feel every assurance that at last his administration will prove ono of the most beneficent and acceptable that the country has been favored with for many terms pastt considering the many agitations and perplexities with which it has had to contend. Triumph in Kentucky. Tlic Chicago Times says, that in Kentucky at the late election, the qu;stion of Congressional intervention in regard to slavery, either to establish or prohibit, encourage or trammel it, was tlistirctly and directly in issue. Throughout the protracted canvas, in all sections of the State, the subject in all its aspects and bearings, was patiently and thoroughly discussed. The result is now before the country. Kentucky has once more been carried by the Democracy; a Domocracy that rests on the platform of popular eovcrc ignty . Magoffin who stood by Douglas last fall pending his memorable contest in Illinois, and who stands by the prin ciple of non-intervention now as we have good reason to believe he still side with Douglas is elect ed Govcrnor,thc latest advices inform us by a majority ot not less than 1 0,000. This is a great vicioryIt will cause a thrill of satisfaction to penetrata every true Democratic brcst in the Union. It establishes in the South the ascidency of the principle of popular sovereignty- At tho extreme South there arc ultraists who will bo exasperated at this result; they are for Congressional intervention. And the Republicans, the radicals of the North, do not like it, for they too arc for Congressional intervention. Butthe great majority of our countrymen will rejoice over tho happy conclusion of this exciting strudle. ts& itJTTo the Press. We hope to maintain the same friendly intercourse with, all the members of the Editorial falernity, which has seemed heretofore to exist between the Democrat and its cctomporaries. We shall endeavor, on our part, to merit a reasonable share of their kindness and courtesies, and shall cheerfully extend to them every favor in our power. irNoRTn Iowa Time3. In fumbling over our exchanges, it was very easy for us to call a halt when we cot hold of this paper Edited by our good humored friend and former Senitor, Pat Richardson, as ho is familiarly called.

Wo will favor the election of Douglas to the Presidency, most chccrfully.if he gets the Charleston nomination, but we shall favor no legislation at all, by Congress, as to the establishment or tho abolishment of slavery in tho states and Territories.

Railroad Troubles. ———

It will be perceived by the following letter from the Vice Presidentof the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne & Chicago Railroad company in reply to the resolution which precedes it, that there need be no difficulty in recovering pay for stock killed or damaged by the Road, when the proper steps are taken. JOHN G. OSBORNE, Esq. is the authorized Attorney for the road at this place, to hear complaints and provide for the settlement of all just claims. The following is the Pearsonville Resolution and Mr. Edgerton's reply: <Resolved>, That we, the citizens of Marshall Co., Ind., request you to come forward, and pay for the stock that you have killed from time to time, within thirty davs, or we will be necessitated to resort to other means. LOCAL DEPARTMENT OF Pittsburgh, Ft. W. & Chicago R. R. Co. <Office of the Vice President>. ——— FORT WAYNE, August 2d, 1859. Messrs. Willis Matthewson, Stephen Meredith, Alexander Bland, James S. Bramcht, and Wm. Stallard. GENTLEMEN: The President of this company has referred to me a letter addressed to him, dated July 16, last, setting out the proceedings and resolution of a meeting of citizens at Pearsonville on that day, relating to certain alledged [sic] grievan- [sic] ces received from the Company. I greatly regret that there should have been any occasion for such a meeting of citizens, and I more regret that they should have felt it necessary to intimate any intention of doing acts of hostility to the Company. This Company will, to the extent of its ability, pay all lawful claims against it. Owing to the want of proper fencing, which the company, hitherto on account of its poverty, has not been able to construct, the claims against it for Farm Stock killed, are very numerous, and many no doubt have been overlooked and remain unpaid, for the same reason that a large anmunt, (nearly two millions of dollars) of the Company's other debt remains unpaid, viz—positive inability to pay it. The Company has many other creditors besides those to whom it owes cattle bills. From the necessity of the case, and a desire to maintain good feeling among the citizens on the line of the road, all just claims of recent date for cattle killed, have been allowed, as proof of the facts has been made to the attorneys of the company, and the rule of the Company now is, to pay such bills as other monthly expenses are paid. Over $6,000 in amount of stock bills have been allowed by the Company in the last four months, and paid, or are in course of payment. You cannot expect that the company will pay bills until they are proved. If any of you, or the citizens at the Pearsonville meeting had stock claims you or they have only to furnish satisfactory proof of the facts to the company's solicitor at Plymouth, Mr. Osborne, and he will adjust the bills and put them in the way of payment. It is not necessary to bring suit in any case where the facts are clear against the company. If the company is sued and costs made, the parties suing must take their chance of payment with all other creditors. <We cannot pay costs on Cattle Claims>—and if they are sued, they will no longer be regarded as among the class entitled to payment with the current monthly expenses. If citizens would reflect upon the general pub lic benefit of the Road, and upon the hard struggles it has cost the stock-holders of the company to build it, and upon the many difficulties experienced in carrying on its opperations [sic] safely, it seems to me they would be less hasty in indicating their intention of taking the law into their own hands. The Company has legal rights to enable it to perform great public duties, and while the Directors will at all time endeavor that the Company's duties to the public shall be faithfully discharged, and as little injury as possible be done to any one, they would fail in their trust, if they permitted any violation of the Company's rights. The operations of the Road must be protected at all hazards, and any attempt to obstruct them will be met by invoking the power of the law. It is probably known to you, if not, it is my duty to state, that it is a <high misdemeanor>, punishable by heavy fine and imprisonment even to obstruct a Railroad—and it is a <felony> to wilfully [sic] or maliciously place obstructions on the track with a view to throw off the Engine or cars—and if death result by any such act, it is <murder>. These penal laws are made for your protection and the protection of the public, more than for the benefit of the Rail Road Companies, and every good citizen has a deep interest in their enforcement The law will not permit any person on account of any real or fancied injury from a Rail Road Company, to jeopardize the lives or property of Rail Road passengers or employees—and the man who attempts to gratify his revenge in that way, is in law and in morals a criminal of the deepest dye. If any of you have been or shall be injured by this Company in the destruction of your stock, the simplest and cheapest way to get redress, is for you to state your case to the Attorney of the Company, who will advise you of the course to be pursued, without suit, and with far less trouble and expense to yourselves, than will be caused by an attempt to harrass [sic] the Company by law suits, or to right yourselves by violent or unlawful acts. Steps are in progress towards fencing our Road, and with reasonable liberality and co-operation on the part of land owners on the Road, it is believed that before the close of another year, the entire line of Road can be securely fenced, and an end made to the killing of farm stock (now in a measure unavoidable from the unprotected condition of the Road,) which has proved so fruitfal [sic] a cause of lors [sic] to the Company, and ill feeling among the people who are neighbors to the Road. Respectfully, JOSEPH K. EDGERTON, <Vice President>. ———<>——— From Washington. Washington, August 9. It is stated that during the late term of the U. S. Circuit court in Alabama, several indictments were found under the law of 1818, which prescribes fines and imprision- [sic] ment for engaging in or aiding and abetting the importation of Africans within the jurisdiction of the United States. As the law of 1820 which makes the offence piracy, to be visited with death, does not in express language repeal the former statute, a grave question has arisen, involving the point whether there can be any choice of the above mentioned punishments, for while public sentiment at the south is against the greater, juries have, it is said, expressed a disposition to render verdicts

carrying with lh'jni the Iessservero punishment. Tho opinion is entertained .here 1mong distinguished gentlemen that, in viaw of all the facts, notwithstanding the established rules of interpreting statutes, the question will probably bo brought before the S upreme (Jourt ot tho United States for its decision. Monday, August G. The following is made on the authority ot the United States Marshal Blackburn. A cargo cf GOO Africans have been landed on the Fbrida coast, near Tyrna. As soon as a landing was effected, the vessel was fired and abandoned.

EXCITING HUMORS FROM THE ! GOLD REGIONS--A VIGILANCE COMMITTEE. St Louis August C. A special dispatch to the Bulletin says that the Overland express from Denver City, with advices to tho 29th ult., reached Leavenworth last nignt. There was great excitement at the mines in consequence of the discovery of rich diggins over the divide between the middle and south forks, near tho hoad waters of tho Colorado. Hundreds were daily for the diggings. leaving Another express is due to-day, and will probably bring the details oi he new discoveries. New York, Aug. 9. A private telegram from Memphis says that Emerson Etheridge is elected to Congress in tho Oth district. A dispatch from Houston, Texa3, via New Orleans on the 8th, says that Sara Houston is certainly elected Governor. Oi'enixc the Slave Tii.vde in Texas. The Henderson (Rusk county, Tex.-.s) Southern Beacon, whose editor, John McClarty, is a candidate for tho legislature, in speaking on this subject, utters the following language: 'Any rcllectivc man must know that, under presen tcircumslances, a repeal of the laws prohibiting the African slave trade is impossible; the measure would be defeated by at least .1 four-fifths majority in the southern States, to say nothing of the northern vote. This minority assuredly could not expect the measure ingrafted upon the platform to be adopted at Charleston in 1CGU such a movement would destroy . 4. e overv vestige of hope of tho success of the , " . 1 1 1 1 1 . democratic ticket which may bo brought forward by the body.' The new doctrine is not popular, it seems, in Texas. IHPThere is more truth than poetry in the follow ing lines: A Sabbath well spent Ill ings a week of content, And strength for the toils of tho morrow; Hut a Sabbath profaned, AY hat soever be gained, Is a sure forerunner of sorrow. Sagacity of a Horse. A very curious, though not uncommon, instant of sagacity in that animal, came under observation lately in the crowded neighborhood of Long Lane, Bermondsey. Tho London llcvicio says: A cart horse in harness, whilst its by no means earful keeper was solacing himself in a low public house, started off at a pretty brisk trot down tho lane. Happening to come to a group of children, one of whom, a baby nt more than three years old, stumbh'd and fell, the animal deliberlately stopped, placed the child out of the way with his theeth, and continued his course as if nothing had occured. But fhis philanthropic propensities did not stop here, for, meeting with a similar group, he repeated the action, after which, as if fearful of commuting some niishcief, he quietly sufferd himself to be caught and led back. ;Tew Advertisements.
