Xjflving been away from home mo?t of the lime ince our last iüue tho Congressional Convention being held here yesterday, and being concerned in it, and going to La Torto in the evening theea with many other things, ill health included, hare kept us from paying the attention to our paper this week that we rhould. We are now at boms, whore we expect to remain many weeks. The nomination! are nearl j all made now, and we shall contribute our mito toward electing them. ivror Thief.' Tho cry of Mattinglt about the " Cent-al Junto " and the nominations being mud before hand," is raised to divert the minda of the dissatisfied Republicans in the county from the fact that despite the manifest choice of the out townships, Centre township nominated Mr. Rarjab for Sheriff, giving him a denn majority on the first ballott over all the other candidates and on the second ballot almost the entire vote, while the out townships ballotted for the other candidates about as on the first ballet, but they were too weak and Barnard was nominated, to the manifest displeasure of many members of the Convention. Contrary to the Fsertion made by the editor, Mr. Loga was not the choice of Centre township, and the largest rote was given to Mr. How, while several of the out townships gave their entire vote for Mr. Looax. These are facta that the proceedings of both tho Conventions show, and Ria cry of " Central Junto" reminds us of the thief on the stolen horse, hollowing at the top of his voice, while he was making the greatest possible speed trying to escape justice " atop thief." Aw Awful Threat. Since we hure hod charge of the Democrat we have taken occasion to refer to some of the leading men of the Republican party in this county in a maoncr that they nor their admirers fancy very much, and, in hopes of putting a atop to it some ot them have threatened us, saying: "if you don't quit, Mattixglt will give you h I!." This is the reputation our neighbor enjoys among his political frienda as an editor. This threat was made some weeks ago and we have been waiting for a specimen of what they threatened he would give us, and having given him time sufficient, we suppose he has, in the minds of hit admirer, given us what thy elegantly term "b II." Wa anjyadd that if we wi re assured that there was no $evrrrr " h 11 " than that which he hau given us, we would not fear the future in the least, no nutter how many sins we might cornBait. However, wo must confess, although we have never formed any very distinct idea of the appearance of His Majesty, that there U.piobaMy, a very great appropriateness in comparing him to the "old gentleman " who presides over the unfortunates who have reached the final destination of our n?ighbor. Hurrah for the "Old Gentleman." He is evidently working for a high position in the "future." " Cam't Make the People Uelieve It." Some of the Republicans of this place are regrettiug that wo are taking such an unpopular course in relation to Mr. Fuller and other leading Republicans of this place. They admit that what we say about tlie inconsistencies of thia political trickster and religious hypocrite, is true, but they say we " ttn't male the people lelieve it.1 They have such fall faith in him as a blarney and hypocrite that they think he can do just what he pleases and "the people " will regard him as a consistent politician, an honest man, and a paint, litis opinion of theirs la not without a foundation, for, we aay to his credit, if credit it is, that he can till more falsehood.), make more misrepresentations, place himself in more ridiculous and inconsistent positions, shake hands with more men in a specified time than any man in the county Mattinglt not excepted and keep on a fair fae all the while. Tho Republicans hereabouts know this and they laugh over It to themselves, and they have such confidence In the power of that smooth, deceptive tongue, prating lips, braw face, ever ready shake of the hand, and seared little conscience of his, that they aay the people can't be made to believe " that he is the corrupt man they know and admit he is. Knowing him to be the kind of an individual we represent him to be, we shall continue to hold up his conduct and inconsistencies to the gate of the public, and If we do not succeed, we shall have a clear conscience, having done onr duty.

CONGRESSIONAL. CONVENTION. The proceedings of the Congressional Convention will be found in this issue of the Democrat. We have celayed our publication a few hours in order to ascertain whether Hon C. V. Cathcart would accept the nomination so heartily and unanimously tendered him. The crowd in attendance was not large, though larger than we anticipated, owing to the bu-y season. Nearly all the counties wero represented, and the very best of feeling pervaded. The nomination of Mr. Cathcart inspired the entire crowd with zeal and enthusiaem, and with a hope of success. In times gone by he has overcome as large a majority as the Republicans now have In this district, and defeated a4 man of grca ter ability and one more popular than Schuyler Colfax. If the proper exertion is made and we firmly believe it will be the " bloody ninth" will be redeemed from the reign of Black Republicanism the large majority will be overcome and Schctler Colfax will be permitted to stay at home, where he will "rest from his labors" peddling garden seeds, "franking" Republican documents and Patent Office Reports to his friend. Mr. Cathcart had stated to several of his friends

I that he did not want, nor would not accept the nomI a? t . i . . . - inauon, yei ne was, wun toe lear tnat lie would decline, nominated by acclamation amidst the greatest enthusiam. The committee appointed to wait on him, arrived at his residence last night at about 11 o'clock, a part came from Valparaiso and a part from Laporte. All In all, there wag about 100. The; first built a bonfire in front of his house, in the road, and when it was in full blast, blaiing some twenty feet in the air, the procession, headed by two bands, marched up to his houso, silently. His slumbers were broken by the bands playing a patriotic air in a most spirited manner. He eoon made his appearance, thinking that some of his friends who were passing by had stopped to give him a serenade. When informed of their bnsintss, he urged many excuses why he should decline Ihe nomination, prominent among which was, his poor health, which would not permit him to make a thorough canvass of the District. Finally, after seeing old friends from almost every county in the District, who urged upon him the necessity of his accepting the nomination, he consented, and then he received three- as rousing cheers as ever any man did from a crowd of the same siie. After making a few remarks, and being assured by all present that he would receive their most energetic assistance, the crowd dispersed with numerous rounds of cheera for the Democracy and the nominee of the Ninth for Congref. We have not seen nor heard of a single Democrat who ii not only satisfied, but say he is the man, and their first choice, and that they will do all in thcix power to secure his election. Three cheers for Hon. C W. Cathcart ! He has fought many hard battles, and has always won them most gloriously and triumphantly, and he will do it again. With a hope of success, let us double our diligence. The Competenoy Administration. The Republican has abused every Democratic ofScer in the county, from 1F5S to the present time, and claimed for the Republican officers elected honsty and competency, and especially their Auditor. During the time Mr. McDonald was Auditor, they used to make a great fuss about tho condensed and unsatisfactory reports he published annually, and now they arc satisfied with a Report not moro than half as long aä those they used to grumble at as being too short, and, that ii so condensed that no person can, by reading it over, form a correct idea of the financial affairs of the county. And they now try to cover up blunders made by thrir competent official that, had they the power, they would damn a Democrat for call him an embezzler' and a defaulter.' Mattingly has become magnanimous, and takes all the blunders committed by Fuller upon himself, when any one who knows anything about Fuller's bungling, blunderhead manner of doing business i satisfied that his Exhibit as it appeared first in tho Republican, was according to copy, and it would be difficult for Mattingly to make any one believe, after having two weeks to set it up in, that the proof waa not read by copy. If it was not read by copy, then he is entirely indifferent as to whether the people shall know anything alout tho state of their finances disregards the intent of the law in having the annual Exhibit published ; and, if the proof was read by copy, then we hope for the old gentleman's sake ho will never eay anything raoro about anyliody eldc drinking something stronger' than Lager. Notwithstanding his hard face, this mtif t be rather humiliating, after having croaked as much as he has about inactiracies and blunders, to admit, for the good of the Republican putty,' that he had committed the greatest batch of blunders that have over appeared in print in this community. A few weeks ago we referred to the Report as being what we have above stated it was, in point of calculation, and this week we ask a few questions for Mr. Fuller to answer, or, about some things that we wish an explanation of. In his last Re port, (for he has gotten out two the second being corrected in many places, but still erroneous,) he says : Total receipts from all sources, $11,31)9 F2.' In aoothtr place he says, County tx, 11,3'J'J f2.' From the Report everybody muat understand that the 11,393 K was collected from the duplicate, and this being the case, we ask what has become of the county's part of the $1,000 paid by ex-Treasurer Vinnedge'a securities, which we understand was about $700 1 also the jury fees, $ 1, 50 being charged for each jury trial and collected for the benefit of the county ; and, what became of the docket fees ia the Common I'leas Court, which is taxed for the benefit of the county, also ? If these items, which will amount to about $1,000, have bcn accounted for, where were they lumped in ? and will not Mr. Fuller get out another Exhibit ? If these things are not accounted for, where have they gone to ? But there is one thing more that he ought to explain, and it would certainly justify him in getting out another 'Exhibit.' He says : Grand total collected, $20,1 10 rG.' In order to get this, he goes on and shows how much was School, State, County, Sinking Fund, Road Township and Special School Tax, but he still lacks $"5 75 of the amount. In order to make it balance he adds 4 Treasurer's fees for collecting all of the above taxes,' $S8r 75, and that maks up the Grand Total. Now we want to know it the county collected that amount as a part of its revenue, or, was it paid out ? Wc should have thought but for tho Auditor's Exhibit' that that waa an item of covnty expenses to be credited instead of receipts to .bo ehmrged. For our own satisfaction as well as that of many others, wc ask an explanation, or that Fuller should get out another 'Exhibit- Oh! the competency ! Oh! the 1 rotrenchment' and ' reform I'

Resolved, That to take from our creed the doctrine of non-intervention by Congress, anywhere and everywhere, with regard to domestic slavery, would be to take from it its power to save ; would be to open the Hood gates of selfish ambition and sectional sirife, ami to overwhelm us in national ruin.

The 'Japan knees' celebration at Laporte on tho Fourth, was a novel, ridiculous, funny, and in some parts of the programme, indecent performance. Our visit to Laporte was a most pleasant one, and we made many agreeable, and wc hope, lastine acquaintances. We called on the editors of the Herald, Times and Union. Mr. Powell, of the Herald is a very social gentleman. Mr. Higgins, of the Times is a young man of good attainments and we hope, has a bright future before him. He is now the candidate for the Senate from the district composed of the counties of Laporte and Starke. Wo called upon Mr. Milligan of the Union, but he was busy, and we exchanged only a few words with him. He is evidently a man that attends to his own business. Mr. Mugg of the Northern Indianian called on us last evening during our absence were not at home. Call again. Sorry we As we anticipated, several mistakes appeared in j our editorials last week. We see our neighbor Mattingly has read proof much obliged. Our neighbor can see what is the origin of the ' h 11 editor this week. The phrase is not our own. He is indebted to his friends for it. Three drunk Lincoln men' are now under our window, shaking hands and hugging each other. Wish they were near Mattingly 's sanctum instead of ours. Several communications are crowded out of this Issue. ILrThc Senators whose terms expire in 1861, and whose places are to be filled by the next legislatures o their States, are Fitzpatrick of Alabama, Johnson of Arkansas, Gwinn of California, Foster of Connecticut, Yulee of Florida, Iverson of Georgia, Trumbull of Illinois, Fitch of Indiana, Harlan of Iowa, Crittenden of Kentucky, Slidell of Louisiana, Fearce of Maryland, Greene of Missouri, Clark of New Hampshire, Seward of New York, Clingnian of North Carolina, Pughof Ohio, Lane of Oregon, Bigler of Pennsylvania, Hammond of South Carolina, Collamer of Vermont, and Durkee of Wisconsin 11 Democrats 7 Republicans, nnd 1 American.

Breckenridge is so unexceptionable to the Black Republicans generally, that they are firing salutes in honor of his becoming like Lincoln a disunion caudidate. New Wheat. The first load of new wheat was brought to town yesterday, and purchased by Mr. Tuttle. The grain looks well, and it weighs sixty two pounds to the bushel. The price paid for it was 90 cents. So says the Indiana State Sentinel. Stw Stroke. The Lafayette Courier says a couple of laJorers employed on the farm of John Royal, near Dayton, in this county, were pun struck in the harvest field on Tuesday, and have since died. 0Advices from Cuba state that ten or twelve American vessels had landed upwards of LOO Africans within tx weeks. Burlington, Iowa, Julj G. Ltkcii Law Iowa. A letter from Fairfield, Iowa, to tho JIuwkey$ states that John Kephart, the raurderef of Mrs. Jane Willis and her two children, was lynched yesterday. About 250 men from the vicinity of Hatavia, where the victims were found, organized on horseback and cam-a iuto Fairfield at 10 o'clock iu tho morning and rode to the court house and jail, where themutdrer waa confined, and surounded it. The citizens rapidly assembled. Tho countyjudge and several citizens addressed and urged them to let the law take its course. This waa of no avail. They eaid they had come for Kephart and would have him, and they had orected his scaffold and dug his grave. They then took a scantling and battered down tho doors to his coll and carried him quietly to the place whero the crime was comutea ana there huar him. Mains to be Redeemed. The news from Maine is most cheer'ng. At the late Democratic State Convention in Portland, consisting of seven hundred and fiftv delegates, tho nomination of Douglas and Johnson was ratified with uitire unanimity and amid tl o greatest enthusiasm. The Portland correspondent of tho Boston Herald say : The delegates from all parts of the State brinjr encouraging news of Democratic conversions. They say that the watchwords, Douglas and ' Popular Sovereignty have revived tho hopes while they havo strengthened the hands of the party and it sems as if the old times wore come again. Voters aro coming back iu flocks. full of joy to find themselves able again to be Democrats. Thoso members of the Northern proas who havo deserted tho National standard, aro denounced by tho party in term more earnest than polite, from the Eoacoast to the backwoods. Missouri. The Democratic candidates for Governor and Lieutenant Governor in Missouri havo both declared that they aro for Douglas and Johnson.
