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.

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. Xi. , more dangerous usarpa

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.. Su says

EniTOR :---During the last few days, I
have been frequedtiv spoken to by members of
the anti-constitution and disunion party, with
reference to a Challenge in Friday's, , s
from which fact I was induced to exanune the
same. Now, 1 was under
the impression
that, - , front the boast of the opposition, there
was a full and. complete 41('fanV 1., given, to
meet them at any time, for the discuss - 1(m of
/in!' or ,all of the general q uestions involved in
the present campaign,. 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.
