Upon their platform, with its somewhat changdd face, must their candidates stand, They cannot, in reason, occupy any other ground., • Between these two tickets the voters Of the county will choose. .Will they pass by that of. the national Democracy, and endorse with a majority of their votes that of the IroScrip: tionists and Sectionalists?

DThe long-called - .Republican County Convention, composed, wo are told, of about a dozen individuals, comma' in the Court-house, on Monday last. The only action of conse __ venue had .H - as the appointment of a com mittee .to interrogate the Know Niatking candidates as to , whether they endorse tho Philadelphia •Vrement - platform. It being . understood that these candidates are •of that way".of thinking, no extraordinary de gree of sagacity is required to foresee:thu drift of the Convention's doings, • Such a step was anticipated. , Indeed, nothing-else was to have, been orpeeteil trent the mameuvres of the dark lantern managers here. The only effect which the holding of this Republican Convention can have, will be to seal the union between Know Nothingism and Republicanism—=to _make the -merrily-go-The tween the two a little more, formal. Thu main bodies-of them are now one and inseparable. Their leaders are the same, their ends the same ; and - to a common death and a common grave the invincible Democracy will s eousign them in October and November nest. Another Change of Tune Two years ago, •when the efforts of the Know Nothings were directed to the single purpose of enticing Democrats into their mid night dens, the organs of the Order styled our Part• by its true title, "the Democratic." This was done the better to secure their intended victims : But, after atime, the organs began another tune, and the term "locofoco" again ("nun) into play; and now, that they can hope toiieduce no-more Deumerats i -they -mike-use- 1 of the .. elegant term, black loyofiko What it be next, wo Cannotirnagine ; but if their desperation increases as it has latter ly,-the strongest slang terms in the language will-fail them. :IL - mover, wo feel no little comfort in the undoubting confidence that, notwithstanding the choice epithets heaped upon them, the true friends of the Union will still be found with breath enough in their bodies to give the Nix hissers and their allies a sound drubbing when election days come round. "The good time" will then he for the Democrats. 'Knun• Nothings, fearing to. make gen eral and direct issues, are prating loudly a bout the "Kansas code"—as though the Dem ocratic party endorsed those laws as correct in, every particular. It does no such thing, but takes the single ground that the decision of their constitutionality should ho left to the Ju diciary of the country—a position which no 'west man, in us reason; s lon c isputo. Black Republican Sentiment. The 7 ire .Inter icon, a Black Republican or gan in Erie county, Pa., in commenting, on a speech delivered at a Democratic meeting, says: `*TII IS TWADDLE ABOUTTIIE AND - ITS 'PRESERVATION' IS TOO SI I, LY AND SICKENING FOR ANY'GOOD EFFECT.

' It seems that _the Mack Republicim leaders iit the Mins(' beeamo NOariud of their umAlvia ble position before the country, and resorted to a more expedient to extricate themselves From the attitude of positive and reckless infi delity to the government, which they had as sumed. ,Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, on behalf of tlro Committee of Ways and Means of the . House, obtained leave to introduce hill pro viding for the Army, accompanied by a more shtelow of the original proviso which hail giv en rise - to the contest between the two I l,inse4.. Thiti r hill was promptly' adopted by the Heusi:. In the Senate it was immediately agrood•to, ex cept the proviso, whieh was reTheted, and in this amendment the house concurred by a rote of 101 to 98, :t9,4.lsoermitutted the struggle, Anil, now that this ilesperate attempt to in vade the Constitution—to work out a roNelu don of our systom of government, has been defeated through the firmness of the Presi dent and the Democratic members of Cinigi-es . s, and the Army preserved front its destructive tendencies, its reckless authors rebuked, and the apprehensions Of the country allaycd, -it may he well to notice briefly its beginning and progress.- _ For months prior to the termination of the regular session, It bad Leen given out, that the Black Republican majority in the House had determined to coerce the Senate into the atlop tion of their abolition views as to Kansas, through the power of the appropriation hills; or in other Words, that unless their purposes in reference to Kausits were accepted, 10) pro vision should be made to pay the expenses of the llovetumeut. True to thu,u menaces, as .' saults were made simultaneously on all the departments, the Judicial, Civil and Military. The 1011 owing conditions wore attached • to the bill making appropriations for the (Judic iary: . 'lia themoney hereby appropriated shall not be ditawn from the Treasury, or any part thereof, and the sante, or uny part thereof, shall not ho paid out of any-other appropria tion made liy Congress, until all criminal pros -ecutions- now -punt i in--any -conrt-of-the-Ter ri tory of Kansas against any person or persons oh arged with treason agaiiiSt the hilted States, alai all criminal prosecutions by information or indictment against any person or persons for any alleged violation 'to. disregard of the professed laws of a body of mea who usylvu bled tit the Shawnee -Mission iii said Territo ry, claiming - to - bo - the legislative-assembly of the said Territory, shall be dismissed by the court; and every person who is, or may be,. restrained of his liberty- by reason of suoh prosecution or prosecutions, skull be released Not only was this lo:4i:dative, provision out of place 00 thu appropriation bill, and flir that rousun noble to serious objection, but it wasnf tuost vichnis tendency. Its effect was to tampor with tho judiciary by making its pay dependout upon its netion,. and degrading lkdoWll to subsurvienuy to thu behests of thu pal tY. But it wts diseovered that this proviso was on the Civil and Diplomatic bill, a measure appi ; oprialiUg tumve, thau fortymilli . ous, to be disburiietl mainly iu our Atlantic cities, and bound to tape a turn through the lninks, and above all that, it provitiod lor the OW gull mileage o , r t/w tbr entices lliemsdreB.—Ehe I re senta,tion of these arguments was more than Black Republinisin could stand. The rea ..seniur WiliaLtEneht , (l ti oir own_poaels_a_nli -the vaults of the Eastern Bankers, was quite sulliciont•—They yielded this point gracefully and the bill 'became a law. But next, the Army was singled out for their N , ungetvocc. _ The poor_ soldiers have no, votes, and these political desperadoes thought it was much in•we prudent, at this par ticular crisis, to make the experiment of revo •lution on a bill to pay for the Army: The fol lowing proviso vas accordingly attached to the Army Appropriation, to wit nererthdexs, That no part of the military fin•eQ,uf the United States herein pro vided for, sludllo employed in all of the en forcement of the enactments of the alleged Legislative Assembly of the Territory 01 Kan daS, recently assembled at, Shawnee Mi s si on , until Congress shall have enacted eith6r that it was or was not a valid legislative assembly, chosen in conformity with the organic law by the voople of the said Territory : dad provided, That until Congress shall have pass ed on the validity of the said legislative assem bly of Kansas, it shall ho this duty of the • , ritory, to 'preserve the peace?, suppress insur rection, repel invasion, and protect persons and property therein, and upon the nati4mal highways in the State of Missouri, or else. where, from unlawful seizures and searches: And he it Arther Provided, That the President is required to disarm the present organized militia of the Territoryf o. ..ansus, and recall all the United States arms therein distributed, and to prevent armed men from going into said Territory to disturb the public peace, in the enforcement or resistance of real or pre tended laws." To this amendment, the Senate refused as sent. It was llot only out of place, but was clearly unconstitutional. It was held to be irregular and revolutionary to place _legisla tive matter, however right in itself, on appro priation bills. Only two years since, Mr. Seward held this doctrine in the Senate. This proviso virtually proposed that Congress should usurp the - funetioas of the Judiciary, by declaring that certain laws are unconsti tutional, and that therefore they shall not be administered.

Another proposed to clothe him with new and most extraordinary powers, in clear dero gation of the Constitution, by vesting him with the authority and making it his duty to control i fere(' r-e on the highways in the sev eral States, virtually changing the military for the civil antherity— , in such highway's li , :eling to Kansas--a power subversive of the eon sti tutienal right of the citizen, and danger ous to civil liberty. It also 'violates the .2(.1 article-of the Constitution, which provides "That a well regulated militia being neces sary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall nut be i n fringed.". - These odious, revolutionary and uneensti tation:d provisions were promptly rejected by the Senate, and oil this grew up the pro tracted struggle which has just terminated. This proviso was the point of difference when the regular session closed, and on the re-organization the subject was taken up where it bad been left. anal the contest contin ,uiel, The Senate becoming. eonvinced that it was the- didiborate purpose of the 'dominant party in the I tOpe to coerce it into terms, re solved upon resistance to the last; to accept no conditions ; but steadily and firmly to in sist that it was 1133 imperative duty to make -provision for the _Army, tin ithat they would agree to no adjournment until that mel Rad been accomplished. - lei this view the Demo crats in the house generally cencurred. The 11 - n.l Maori of tier House- to ad.journ way not respeenel by the Senate, but farther confer ence invited 011 the part of that body. Prier to' the last conference the proviso had been slightly modified in the Douse, but it still pre peSed to clothe the President with unconsti tutional authority 'on the highways of the United States, and to _deny to Mei and to the Judiciary their Constitutional fanetions, as to the Territory of Kansas. No clearer attempt ever can lie made to coerce the conservative branch of Congress than that of which we speak, and the country owes much to those gallant Democrats whq resisted the attempted infraction of the Ciinstitution. The Senate represents the sovereignty of the States, in their separate capacity, and it was ascertain ed that twenty Stutor were for the bill without the proviso; five States for the proviso and six 'States divided; and yet a - mere majority of two or three in the 'liaise insisted upea an I eneroaehment on the rights of a co.ordi nute branch of the making poWer. Tho popular idea daring the struggle was, that the ountest was about an appropriation for the army,. But this was net the case. Both branches hail agreed, unanimously, over and over again, to every feature of the appro priation ; best the lleuse insisted that the should agree with it on another and differ ent question,—saying, virtually, that unless you du thia, the army shell not be paid. -We shall bring you to terms, thongh the effort should paralyze an arm of the Government. But, - thank heaven,-the attempt failed. _ What was most extraordinary was, that these Black Republicans; who had constantly declared their want of confidence in the Pres blent, should suddenly change -their position, and ask ()engross to clothe him with now and unheard of powers—powers never entrusted to Washington and- Jefferson, When Mr. Toombs' Pacification Bill was under consider ation, they could nut trust the President, oven in connection with the Senate, to appoint - five Commissioners : but to suit their factious veils I and to conceal their-real designs, they-would give him military control over all the highways in the United States. It requires no large share of sagacity to un dt,stand the maw - um - re on Saturday. When they knew that the Svnate, Lad resolVe+l ulurn uu Unconclitioaal appropriation, the.perform- anoe of an inverative duty,. they iiiiTditied the flrovitio,-soas to apply to the ex;loution of the Teri•itorial In,ws of Kansas only, and they how intond ALL , ' - d say_ • th • Democrats demanded and obtain - ell an appro priation to enforLe the. bogus Kansas But this scheme will prove-too shallow. The answer trill be that the Democratic Senate pa ss ed two bills repealing those odious laws, but the Black Republican majority in the House refused to touch them. It is no tthßsVer to say that these bills .-..,ontained other matter, It was perfectly' competent for the House to strike all else out and puss the repealing clause, and they knew that the Senate would comtir in such amendment. But the simple truth is, these - agitators do not wish to see peace in Kansas prior to the Presidential 'elec tion. Agitation, deep, hitter agitation and even civil war is their must potent means for accomplishing 11 Presidential triumph. But they lulu been defeated in their des. perate schemes and are now sneaking to their homes, humiliated and disgraced. Such al ways should, and we hope always may be the fate of traitors to the Constitution..

But,"to my surprise, there was a liiniteit specification of sui!lect , which is purely h_ advert to presently. lie has of an apostate nature, and challenged "the slavery-extension party."- 11'hat party he had rel'orence have - conceived from a ineie reading of the "Star," without some additional assurance; which had been aflyar.ced by men of his polit ical stamp—for the Democratie.party claim to occupy the same national stand upon the great question of "Slavery," which the patriots Clay and Webster have acknowledged and en dorsed in the constitution of our country. We do Will xuust lielieVe, Loth front reason and ev idence, that lie is a member of the real "sla very-extension party"--since their unprinci pled, unwise and unpatriotic abolition policy is inure detrimental to the abolition of slavery, than the spreading of it through seve ra l K a a _ sas territories. But we are compelled to ex ercise brevity—therefore we hasten to the I point. 'the Democracy are said to he challenged ! and good heavens, upon what ground ? The challenge says—upon "the constitution a lity Le. of-the Elau - sus - code of .laws." What a political_ humbug:. We arc nut accountable for the laws that the people of finit soil choose to make, or the manner in which they make them, The Democracy' of both the North and South claim "popular sovereignty" for Kansas, asking no more - right to make laws for the same, than Virginia or Maryland dare have to legislate for Pennsylvania, Let. her frame her own laws as all territories are al lowed to do, after having fit e re( i nisite number of inhabitants to be classi':cd a State,—and then if those laws are nuconsillrfaunat, she cannot be admitte.l—she raa..sl and- will be rejected a place in the confederavy. This is the national and constitutional Ihtliey ; this is the course marked out by all the wi , tiont o f past legislation, and this, is the real course of the Democracy. In short, challenge is emphatically a shallow and unjust sane, and has .every appearance of being totally desti tute of a manly and dimitied courage. As unjust limitation is au evidencii of ittlirmitv, we regret the braggfal ,, cio a /a opposition. So that the Democracy may evince a more honorable . feelint , and principle, I hereby challen ye P.M' of the oppo.sitii..ni, particularly I the author, of - the communication in the LA "Star," to meet Inc upon equal terms at any time, for a public tliscuion of :n3- or all of thu general frrineipies in-roll(!4 in the present. campaign. An 4 though. yout h anti inexperi ence is my portion, 4 wilt claim the full dis cussion of principles, laying aside the oration of age. _I tart in car , a tat 6 ,, cpc this fall, free nd cont . p . etc challenye wag he accripl ed. - Must resp-ectfully, SAM.
