Full proceedings of the Convention held at Knox on last Saturdav, will be found elsewhere "im thi-i 1 paper, and therefore wc will not give a detailed ace-count of it, but will content ourself bv stating, what will be apparent to every person who reads the proceedings, that it wua n most harmonious and enthusiastic gathering. Ia company with some of our fellow townsmen. "we attended the Convention for thc purpose of tciu:cscir.g ia the nomination our Democratic i friends of Starke might make. They saw fit to give the nomination to one of our citizens, although it was understood they were entitled to the man ; and, in fact, no one of the dehgate3 from this county expected or thougkt of the nomination being taken from our county, until after we arrived at Knox. On talking with many of them they expressed a desire to put in nomination a man who was ia the habit of speaking, and one that would canvass thc district. They were satisfied that Mr. Packard possessed the requisite qualifications, ar.d they nominated hi.u. We say ihey nominated him, because there was rot a delegate from Uiis county who urged Lis claims or thoso of Marshall county upon the Convention, or, in other words, we considered he had no claims only his me: it and ability, to present. His nomination was unanimous at the Convention ; and, so far as Marshall county is concerned, we are confident there couM not have been a more satisfactory nomination made, and we predict that the most sanguine ctatioiu of our Staike county frienda will be realised a3 to tu ability and fitness to represent this DL-trict The expressions of aati'-faetion on the part of the two other gentlemen whose names h.idb n ppeken of In connection nitli the nomination. Maj. Em ttnow.f asd J0jr' S. Binder, were characteristic of true gentlemen and Democrat--, who have the good of their cause at h-art. Since wc were last at Knox f-nme three years ago the town has improved very much, and boars evident of thrift and prosperity. .Many new buildings have lately been erected, and some are now in course of construction. The Methodist denomination hus erected a very nice church, nearly or r.uitL. as large as thc M. L Church of this place. It spekd we ll for the morfckscf the kkiee, as wcj :iSthe enterprise and devotion of thc citizens of Knox. The Uender House is quite a large an I comfortable hotel, and under ifsprcsmt management, a we Awotr.it U A' place to stop w hen yon are hungry. Mr. Ad-är, che proprietor, is a hospitable gentleman, and does all in his powcTtopIea.se ami accommodate bis gm-tts. The new Court House, when finished, will bo a great ornament to the place, ;1s well aa a great convenience to the citizens of the county. It is probably a larger building than will immediately be nec-ded in the place, but when completed no one will i egret having helped pay lor the construction of a public building of its commodioui proportion. During our shoit stay, we made rnny very agreeable and interesting ficqnainUnce.4 with gentlemen from all parts of the county a well as those who lire at thu county seat. All in all, we h id a most pleasant time, nn 1 our opinion of Knox ami her inhabitants is, that Knox M a very pleasant, quiet place, and the people arc mögt hospitable and worthy citizens. Mad Agai. M.ittingly, of the Republican. gave the Democrats, who were in to an on the 25th of last month what thy threatened he would give us because they did not drink Hoham's Lager exclusively, lie rum sometimes accused us. without. cane, of driuking ' something stronger' than lagf.r, and so lie go3 on. We guess the whole secret i, that he ran not endure a Democrat, no matter what his habits arc. We think it would look rnort mnitcnt forlorn to quit drinking brandy and take to lagr, if he is so nxi.v.m tn bare Mr. Hhani rrorppr in hi 9 husincM.

Convention and Demonstration.

The Courit?

' He spoke of numerous drunken men laying around . in the streets and elsewhere, all of which w e believe to be a lie out of whole cloth, for we were : in the crowd all the time, and saw none of the dis- : Rusting fights he describes, and we arc fully con- ; rinced that the w hole thing is the production of , his base imagination. It is true that some of our Democratic friends felt nrettv well, mill nnrlieiil:.riv nffor T.o ,.-. ,.r ivM..,w - iu-idj uoiuoiauoii was l i ... .i . ,. , ... . . rccei ed, but the mor.y nuiculous things hespoKe oi were conceived m Ins own imagination.

Ihu was too much for him I U) endure quietly, and we do not wonder that he is trying to create a sympathy for himself by saying 'that lie was treated in a shameful manner br the crowd, as it passed along ! The fact of his savin- that he did not feel disinayed or alarmed at the demonstration, is satisfactory proof to us tint it did worry him. lie was : said to have looked d--mayed' und 4 disheartened' bosh, and a friend told us tint he thought, from ; tlie distance between his n se nd chin, that the lold gentleman w.tS preparing to swallow himself. : Seriously, it wa a sad Mght for hhn t- see. and he i ! undoubtedly does not wish to sec another day like ! it during the canmai-n. j Orecn and Leue.

Mr. McDonald's Letter. For the Democrat

Mr. Editor: In my former article I referred to the fact, thata lew irresponsible men about towu.wlio were ; . ... . . t bankrupt in property and character, had been circulating the report that I was defaulter to the j scheel fund to the tunc of $l,f00 ; and, as many ; honest men might think there was some truth in the charge, I thought it due to my fiiends to nublicly contradict it. From the description I gave, i Jnd'n-e Fuller concluded he must certainly be one ' of the men I referred to, and came down' on me j with an article in the last w eck's Republican. A fJ tcr making sortie apologies for not looking into m - t tiers sooner, he says: r . a! . . I .1!.. 1 .1.

I went to the Court Housa every time the Judge made the request, j Tlie fir:t trouble he got into, was m reference to i " R. S. Tiper's interest : he said it was not paid. I showed him where it was entered on the book. Pan v Rurch, and manv others, he stated, had not ' - i paid their interest, but when I showed him that their interest was regularly entered on the receipt book, he modestly backed down. I presume I have been called by him ti his ofTice a dozen times in reference to interest, and in onlv one case has it appeared that ther2 was any interest in my hands, which I paid over long since. The Auditor makes no direct charge, only by in- ! s',luatio'- IIe asks w,ut became of the interest (giving amount?) paid in by some half dozen pcrfons (S'villS tllt,ir names). I have no distinct rcI collection only in reference to two or three of the ! individuals they did not pay their interest : the ,;ikncc, I presume, was paid over by the TreasurPr to the Township Trustees.

Did you not look and act foolish ?' In reference to this matter I wouM remark that this is fabricated out of wholo , , , r , cloth. I made the discovery myself. HieAuditor did not know, and had not the means of knowing, only by the register of loans which is no auj thoritr in such cases. Thompson had a loan, and L. , .t thc iami that hc i'3 to secure it, he sold, nud reotipstod tli nrivili'ffl f tr:intVn-5iirp tbo I mortgage on to another tract.

I had no idea he would recti ve and took it to thc avs. in his article, liens on the land. t'10 mortgage, although th land bespeaks of is vvoriii at least three limoä the amount of the loan, over and above the liens. The truth of the matter is, that Thompson and I are both Democrats hence his refusal.

It was not thc proper way to do bu sines, but if 1 had intended to cheat the county ; out of that amount, I should not hare said anv In conclusion, I beg leave to ask the Judge a few questions which I hope he will answer categorically. Did you charge Wm. Johnson $1 SO of interest which he had paid rears before, and which r;ii en !tcred on the receipt book, and did he m ike vou ' nn v i t b:iek to Iiim Rf'.iin ? Did you charge Hugh Hrowulec 10 more than you ought to have done ? Who would have used the mone-y in case Mr. Prownlee had paid the amount charged ? Did you or did you not tell some men in Herman township, in ly, that if you were elected you would discharge thedutiesof Auditor for . 5 11 less per year than I had done ? Have you not charged about $100 more than I did ? Did you not tell a Democratic candidate for Assessor in one of the out township-?, that if he would rote for you, that you would arrange it fo that hc would be elected ? Did ycuat any time in the fall of lbC3,drop n quarter of a dollar in Julius Tack's pocke t, and tell him to buy himself some beer ? Say did you, Judge ? Did you tell an honest Dutchman in fJrccn township, that if you were elected he would have no more tax to pay ? 'All of which is respectfully submitted ?' Tub's. McDonald. Ye' II u.

If a majority of the Democrats of Starke were in favor of this, then the delegates from Marshall had in oi me majoiny oi tue democrats ol starke county, the Marshall delegation, knowing that according to th'j iii'deiManding between the two counties, Srtr.ike w as eiiuth ! tvi (lie candidate for this term, they would not prose:-1 the name of any individual as a candiale, that the Marshall county delegation had come to the Convention for no HJ:C t!,an l ;ic,uesce in the choice made ' T VvHW'Ta' awl tHt S,im,M Starke decide to give Marshall the candidate, then the .Vl.nrs1i:dl lielc.ition would m i1.-l .. 1. iuan of their choice.

Three cheers were then proposed by the Staike delegation for our nominee for Representative, and they were given with an enthusiasm anil force that showed they were determined to elect hi in. Three cheers were also given for Douglas and Johnson with t-rjual enthusiasm. Mr. Packard was then called for and responded i in an able; speech.

He then closed, stating that he expected to visit every school house in the district ami that he would bo happy to meet his opponents at any time, for the purpose of discussing the issues before the people. After .Mr. Packard had taken his seat, Mr. John S. Heilder addressed the chair, and taid he would say a fe w words to the Convention. lie had suffered his name, through thc solicitation of many friends, to be spoken of in eonnectio;i w ith the ( nomination for Representative, but, o i reflection, the m.ijority of the Democracy of his county had thought it best to select Mr. Packard, thinking that the times demanded that we should have a man who eould and would make a thorough and able canvass, an I he most heartily acquiesced in their choice, and would use his best endeavors to scciuc the election of the nominee of this Convention. On taking his seat he received three rousing cheers that told that thoe of bis acquaintance had full faith in his Democracy, and that he would do just what he had said he would. The committee on Resolutions reported the following, which were unanimously adopted : llmdted. That we abide by the principles enunciated v the Democratic resolution known as the Cincinnatti platform, and reiterate tho same as our professional creed. Rfsnlcrd, That we recognize the decisions of the Supreme Court as the Supreme law of the land and will uphold and sustain thc same. Rt'.whed, That we recognize and will maintain the rights of all citizens of the United States, wherever they may be, as equal, ; and that no part is cntith'd to more than another! Remlred, That we will hght modern Republicanism wherever we lind it, with all the means in our power, and use every effort to secure the election of our reijuUir nominees, regardle'ss of personal preferences. Rciohed, That white men sett'ed , freed and own this country, and white men alone are pro'.eiiy eligible to the rights of citizenship. Resolved, That Staike county will give the nominee' of the IJaltiinore Convention 75 niajeirity. A.C.Thompson then offered the following preamble and additional resolutions, which were also adopted unanimously : Whereas, Wc the Democracy of the Representative District, composed of the counties of Marshall and Starke, wish to adopt measures that will secure to us a faithful representation in the United States Senate in the future, therefore Risolrrd, That we require the nominee of this Convention to pledge himself not to support any man for United States Senator, who does not support the regular nominees of the National Democratic party. Resolved, That this Convention recognize Stephen A. DoceiLAS, and Herschrix V. Johnson, as the regular nominees of the National Democratic party, and that we pledge them our undivided and energetic support. Mr. Lloyd (Jlazebrook was then called out and made a very able, enthusiastic and pithy speech, which was received with repeated applause.

The following communication should have appearedm last wevks issue, but it got raisiaia.-UD. j - mm m " 1 T Mr. Editor : In the Marshall County llrpullican of June 1 Ith, I noticed a question asked bv " Abe," whhh i t -n . i i v, . e ' 'n I will take the liberty of answering. 1 lie ques-: tior.er asks the " IJIack democrats ol Iviiok, ' what the Knox correspondent means in one of his , .,,,;,,.,,-,,., n,1,r.iT.-l.wi h . , . T) acknowit,-r0j ilC WM an Ah ei i lie v:i hii in- i olitionist, at one of the Republican meetings in Knox '? The answer is this : that D. W. IIixon did, at the time specified, state six or eight times, that he was an Abolitionist. Markthat! And I cm prove it by two-thirds that were in the house. He did also say, "we are Abolitionists, and we ! calculate to abolish the Democratic party." This i j last part of the speech was disconnected, and after the lirst confessions of Abolitionism. This, j ' Abe " and every " woolly head " present knows, and the lirst confessions w ere not qualified as the last. I did not pretend to give the speech of IIixon verbatim it was too silly a mess of trash to send to any press for publication. For Hixon I had a special regard and said as little as possible about him, and I cannot believe that he i .i.;ii i.. i i i . penneu inai miiv 101 oi irasn auove rcicrre'a to, i over the signature Abe." Now, I care not who 44 Abe" is, nor vv hero he is from, but this I do know, and so docs every one present at the meeting, not excepting 44 Abe" himself, that every word in Knox's communication complained of, was true. Unsays, 44 is not the most dangerous and wicked falsehood, that which is a willful, garbled fragment, surreptitiously drawn out of a connected and consistent fact." All that I have to say to that is, that if " Dan's" great clfjrt had been reported verbatim, it would have mack' both 44 A be and D.v " blush to see such a pointless, meaningless, senseless lot of trash put together ; there was neither connection, or argument, and but very little truth, in the wholu thing ; and as to misleading, it is well known here that none but 44 Aee" is in that business. If he was as partic ular to tell the truth as he is to have others tell it, he would never have- penned that silly, lying, insulting article. If they don't want to be made to appear ridiculous in the eyes of people of common intelligence, let the party keep such thick-headed blatherskites as Rev. D. W. Hixon, at hom. KNOX. Stephen A. Douglas. IIo mjido his lirst political speech in vindication of the Bank policy of Ge;i. Ja jkson. He mr.de his first political canvass iu advocacy of Democracy in triumph thro' the contest. Ho was actively eno-airetl in t lie jrreat mi O O O political Ktrugglo tiiat eiigagcel the attention of the country from 115:35 to 18k). always manfully dcfeutlhtvf t!i- principles of that greiat party to vhich he has ever Lelongeel. He made his first Fpeech in Congress, a speech which gave him a national reputation, in vindication of Gen. J u-kson for declaring martial law at New Orleans. For this he received tho dying thanks of the Hero of the Hermitage. He battled throughout tho contest of !8-M for the election of J.in,es K. Po!k. Ho visited Tennessee during the great contest and made speeches in various portions of the State, nobly bearing the banner of Democracy, which 1 ad Polk and Dallas emblazoned upon its fld:s. He wa3 in favor of the annexation of Texas. He was in favor of tho Democratic- Ta riff of 1C4G. lie was tha first Northern man upon the floor of Congress who denounced the Wilmot Proviso. In 1C52 ho made an arduous canvass for Pierce and King. In 1351 ho reported ami supported the Kansas bill, a measure which received the support of every Southern Senator, except Dell and Houston. In IGoC ho made speeches in various poitions of the Union in advoeaey of the election of James Duchanan. In lC58he opposed tho admission of Kansas under tho Lecompton constitution, not because that constitution recognized slaveiy but because be knew it was not the will of the people of Kansas to be admittetl under that constitution. In that position he was sustained by the people of Ivan? as, by a vote of 0 to 1. He stanels now where he has stood for the last ten years, the unfaltering advocate of tho great eloctrino of non-intervention a doctrine which at one time- received the almost unanimous approbation of tho South. Born a Democrat, reared a Democrat, ho has lived a Democrat, battling; for a period of twenty-live years for ti e mio-e-es-s of his principles. The f'iend of the Constitution: the friend of the Union: thc friend of the wholo country the friend of the people ho will be carried into the Presidential chair amid the plaudits of two millions of voters. He stands to day, admitted by frienel and foe, to be the greatest living statesman of America. Sumnervillc (Tenn.) Democrat. The Three Piriforms. The three platforms on the subject of slavery in Ihe Territories, may be thus concisely and yet truly stated: REPUBLICAN. Intervention by Congress against slavery in the Territories. In other words, intervention by Congress to prevent the people having slavery if they want it. disunion. Intervention by Congress for slavery in tho Territories. In other words, intervention by Congress to make the people have slavery when they don't want it. DEMOCRATIC. Non-interference by Congress with slavery in tho Territories, either to establish, prohibit or protect. In other vords, to leave to tho people of the Territories, when organized communities, to have slavery or not, a3 they think best, subject to be controlled in tho matter by no outside influence. Which will sensible and patriotic people choose to rely on? There is but one for such persons, and that is the Democrat'e. Cincinnati Enquire. ! .U-lb tldl U still successful 111 Ibllr. I
