' A SIGNIFICANT ARTICLE. (From the Richmond Enquirer.) - Ton ILLttrons DEMOCRAOY.—When we regard the present condition of the Deninoratio party, its divisions and dissoniions, its intestine feuds and its seitional quarrels, to disguise our fears and ap prehensions for the future would be - folly in the extreme. In Illinois we find almost hopeless di vision, violent denunciation, and opprobrious epithets. are applied by each nation of the" party to the other, and the virulence of the press indi- Oates the violent:antipathies of antagonistic par ties rather than the friendly. and accordant sym pathies of 'papers in the fellowship of the same party. One is for Buchanan and another for Doug las, one for Lecompton and another for anti-Le compton, and oneh denies to the other the very rights they demlind for themselves And thus we fear, will be wasted away the main strength o f Northern Democracy upon a question involving no vital principle of party, but upon which the pas -8101311 and prejudices of partisans have become violently arrayed. Will not the advisory voice of the Virginia Democracy be regarded in this inter necine warfare? We claim no right to be heard, -save as the mutual friend of both parties. anxious for.the honor and integrity of every part of the National Democracy. " Victory is precarious in Illinois, with the Demo. may united, while hopeless and shameful defeat is certain in the present distracted condition of the party. The extremists of both sections of the Union re gard with pleasure the diiided anti belligerent aspect of the - Minnie Democracy. The Republi cans of the North see their success certain so long this division is continued ; and the disnnionists of the South are rejoicing over the anticipations of a disrupted Union by the hopeless defeat of the National Democracy in 1860. The continued su premacy of the Democratic party, end the hopes of the Pederal Union, alike appeal to the Illinois Democracy to cease their quarreling, and to unite upon a common platform in the support of a com mon candidacy. We cannot believe that such ap peals will be disregarded - by the Democracy of Illinois heretofore eo faithful to the great prin ciples of the National Democracy.. Judge Douglas should not he ostracised by ny portion of the Democracy. His great talents and indomita ble energies have reflected imperistiable renown upon the name of Illinois. He has fought man fully in the cause of the National Democracy, and, right or wrong upon the Lecompton question, the glories of his past life and the nsefulnev of his Senatorial position speak trumpet-tongued for his support by the united Democracy of Illinois This Administration cannot• afford to see Douglas defeated. • Ills late timely rally in support of the powers - .the President indicates a virtue re gardless of the promptingi of personal pique and obedient .to- the suggestions of a patriotism comMensurate with our whole Union. Bin is a master mind; and shall error (if it he error) upon one question, deny to that mind a field for its • usefulness? The defeat of Donglaa would indicate the impotency and - imbeoil- Ity, of senseless rage; rather than a calm and oensiderate punishment. for a grave political offence. Thus is Judge Douglas esteemed by the Virginia Democracy. .We know that nuitly Dem ocrats In Virginia disapproved of his position 'upon the _Lecompton question ; and. in the heat and•etroitement itif, that contest, epithets and re- Elections Ihighly censurable of Judge Douglas, were need, which we hope, in the calm hours of cool reflection, have been regretted, If the honorable retrazit has not already been nude. Itat,whether .this- be so or not, it is a mat ter of 'public history that, Judge Douglas his bad many friends from Virginia in the 'last Democrat!'" National conventions, who urged 'his 'nomination with power and elo quence. In .the _Baltimore Convention of 1962. the present Secretary of War was the ei.quent and powerful champion of the Little Giant; and, in 1856, In Cincinnati, Messrs. Seddon, Powell, Bo cock, Garnett, and others voted for 13tephen A. Douglas, and against James Buchanan ; and t if their wishes could have prevailed, the Convention would have nominated the Illinois statesman upon the issue of "the Kansas-Nebraska bill, in prefer ence to Mr. Ducilianan. These are matters of pub lie ,history, that - sustain us in maintaining that Virginia has never been insensible to the useful ness of Judge Douglas, and hence we infer that she still cherishes affection for the great statesman of the Northwest, and desires his return to the Senate, the field of his usefulness. . ' The earnest desire of the Virginia Domooraoy to see •onr party united, its dissensions quieted, its biokoringe and quarreling, silenced, has in duold us to advise our Illinois brethren to con ciliation, kindness, and compromise. These sug gestions are prompted by no intermeddling spirit, hilt by the great interest Virgiria feels in all that threatens the supremacy of the National DclMOO. racy. -Droll that party all her hopes of the Na tional Union are founded. With defeat, and the success of a seetionaLßepubliean party, SOW tto7l. is inevitable. : The knowledge of this fact onuses tile extreme dimolonista to rejoice over every oir oumstatme that divides and distracts the National Democracy.

Testified that a map of the premises, executed by him at the instance of the prosecution, which was produced in court, was ac curate. as far as be knew, of his Own knowledge• Some points, es, forexample, where Lane stood and Jenkins fell, were obtained, of course ,from the evidence of others. After some argument the court instructed Mr. Send to make a new map for its nwn use, with all the localities mentioned in the evidenoe'acourately defined. Judge Smith, sworn. (Examined by Mr. Cole.) I think it. was the Tuesdny forenoon before Jen kins wan killed CM I was in company with Col ally Blank Stevens, lawyer; it wet near the head of the stairs of Lane and Christian's office, in Law- Lone and Mr Stevens. (at Lecomnton, called urn ranee ; I will not he pnqitivo to thn day; It was in the afternoon; I think it was Tuesday; I was waiting for Christian to come ; I can's tell ; I wee standing on the platform at the bead of the stairs ; Lane and Stevens were in conversation a few steps below. The first thing that attracted my attention to thiasubjeot was Col. Lane's remark that. Jenkins bed come to Ida well with an axe to break off the look, for be bad looked it. Ito was absent at the time; be said. for Jenkins did not dare to come when be was at home; that Mrs Lane had taken tho axe from him and run him nut of the yard. He said that if Jenkins came into that yard again, when be was there, he would kill him. Ile made Use of that exnreseton several times. Ile then re marked that Col. Jenkins was insane abont that claim. I think up to this time neither Stevens nor myself had spoken. I then spoke and said I thoughthe was the most insane man of the two: that no sane man would talk about shooting another for coming to the well for water. I had made this remark in a rather angry (se- Yore) tone, or rather emphatically, to Lane ; far he had repeated the remark so often that I felt like talking in that way to kim. I have no recollection of Steveds talking at all on the subject. Tho only answer that Lone made was, that if over' Jenkins come in his yard for water again he would either kill or shoot him ; 1 forget which expression Ito used. - . - Ile said, also, that if Jenkins had been there that day he would have killed him ; that they or his family sent for him, but when he went home Jenkins lied gone, Mrs Lane having run him off With his own axe; I don't think I ever heard Lane talknbont killing Jenkins before. Cross•examined by Col. Toting. I never beard Col. Jenkins intimate anything like doing an in jury to Col. Lane, although I have been very much with him—probably more than any other man—and I have frequently spoken with him about the claim contest; I have heard Jenkins say that Lone bad threatened kill him, but he said he was not afraid of him; that ho was a coward, and the d—d scoundrel knew it Question. Have you stated to any person sinne the death of Gains Jenkins, that Jim Lane was a d—d roonedrel, and that any man defending him was a d—d scoundrel ? Answer. I don't recollect my prsctse language: probably it was worse than that. [Laughter 1 I have never stated it in those worde,l . think; I have stated that he ought to have been shot at the time ; I have told men that Lane was the meet corrupt men, without exception, I had known in my thirty years' experience of public life, and in two or three conversations—immediately after the fact—angry at - the murder and that mon should defend mob an outrage, I have wound up by saying, that any man who would Justify such a murder was a d—d scoundrel ;'I did not refer to counsel. Colonel Young. You need not qualify ; we don't care whether you include us or not. [Laugh ter Judge &lath. Nor I whether you include your self or not. [Laughter.] • All these declarations were made with reference to the murder. Otherwise I have no personal feeling against General Lane. Lane did not slate In that nonversation that Jenkins had grceedy insulted his wife. that I re cullect of Mr. Stevens wee one of Jenkins' law yers in the land-suit case. I did net understand that General Lane was sending a mewing° through Stevens I have already said that I did not hear the entire conversation. Quettion. Did not Gen. Lane request of Mr. Ste vens in that conversation, as the lawyer of 001. Jenkins, te state to Jenkins that the only way they could live in peace woe for Jenkins to remain on his own promises, and permit Lane to stay on hie, and that he wanted no difficulty with him, or Words to that effect ? Answer. I feel very positive that he made no such declaration from the fact of another declara tion that he toed, w blob that question brings to my reoolleotion. Ire said that as soon as Jen kins crop was ready to gather, be (Lane) intended to take two-thirds, and leave Jenkins one-third. The answer I made to that remark was that I thought be would have a good time of It if he attempted it. Ho was apparently addressing us both at that time Stevens, to the best dm) , re-, collection, did not answer. Question. Have you not stated it puhliely in the town of Lawrence, in presence of many per sons. that if your ovidenne would convict Gen. Lane for killing Gaines Jenkins, that youllwould walk fifty miles to give It in? Objected to, because persons, times, or places are not specified. Mr. Ewing. The object is not to impends Judge Smith if he answers no, but to show the state of his feeling towards Gen. Lane, Objeotion waived. Answer.., I feel very certain that I dii not say I would walk fifty miles, or ono mile, because I em opposed to capital punishment (laughter), and beiauee as a mon like Lane would never get jnatioe In any court of this gerritory, therefore the only way to deal with an.di men. if they commit an outrageous murder, is to shoot them down at th , time j I wcagt by gcsttips jggiloo/ tbig, 'ExeCtition at beitott Newfoundland.

Question. Have', you not stated since the death of Jenkins in the town of Lawrence,- that you would like to put the rope around his (Limo's) neck or be his executioner, or words to that effect? Answer. No, sir, nothing of the kind, either to to that effector any thing of the kind ; I emigrated from Pennsylvania to Kansas; I believe I was eleoted,by the people of Kansas on July 4, 1858, as Governor of the State of Kansas, . . By McOre. I understand that Mr. Btovena has gone to Ohio. Duncan'Allison and another store-keeper were next examined. Their testimony was wholly ir rovelant except on one important point; at showed that the rumor, that Lane said, when be bought the shot, that be intended to kill a man, was not true; although it may also prove malice afore thought, inasmuch as it to in evidence that he could have bought it for no speottle - purpose other than to loaf a shot-gun once or twice; Le cared nothing for the quantity of either article, but took enough of both to load a gun three or four times. Sixty-one shot le an ordinary charge of dnok shot. Computing the loss of scattering, therefore, he must, have loaded the gun with a double charge. Mr. Allison testified. also. as fellows I saw Mr. Jenkins at our store about 10 o'clock of the morn ing of hie death. I cannot soy that Mr Jenkins was under the in t:Mem of liquor ; I am not well enough acquaint ed with Jenkins to tell ; he appeared to be more in earnest in what be said than usual. He said something to Mr. Ilornby about the dimoulty about the well matter ; he said he hod sent his man for water, and Mr. Lane said that if he came again he would shoot him ; Mr. Jenkins said he woo going after water; his family had been ,compolled to drink slough-water long enough; he said that Lane had threatened to shoot him ; - but he was not afraid of it; that Lano was a coward, and ho knew it, and that the d—d scoundrel had been proven such. no said he was bound to have water, cost what it might. Miss Jenkins, sworn. lam the sister of Gains' Jenkins, have been living in his ftimiljt wo years; I ant acquainted with the well on the OAP° called .the Chapman House; Mr. Jenkins' fan ily h d been .the water there two years this summer. ' [Objected to—overrnied ----Questinn. When did you first hear of any objec tion to Jenkins using the well? Objected to. Mr. Stanton said that he designed to prove that there was no objection to Jenkins having water there till Lane got possession of the house, and that there might be (if tho evidence sustained them) reasonable ground for the inference that Lane intended to get up a quarrel by this course, s it was unreasonable. unjust, and unprovoked. Such - evidence might show malice aforethought, and certainly that was relevant. Colonel Young objected, as the testimony could not be other than hearsay evidence. Besides, counsel had no right to p-ove a negative. The court sustained the objection. Cross-examined —The Chapman house is where Lane now lives. • Adjourned The prosecution will close to-morrow morning. They have only one witness more. The ruling of the eourt hes prevented the intro duction of very important-testimony going to jos tify Jenkins for going to the well as ho did ; but the facts will undoubtedly be elicited in A superior Court. An American Horse In England The lost Illustrated News has a spirited en graving of the American horse " Black Eagle" at the Alhambra Palaoe. accompanying the following remarks: The Alhambra.

The 'High Court of Errors, in Mississippi, btu; made an important decision upon the subjeet of the rights of free negroes in other States to prop. erty bequeathed to them in that State The case woe that of James Brown, a slaveholder, who died, leaving a will by which his property was to be sold, lend and slaves, and the proceeds, after paying his debts, to be subject to the drafts of Je rome and Francis Brown. The Browns were the children of the testator by one of his slaves, and were slaves under Mississippi law. They were Cent to Ohio in MO, by their father, and formally emancipated, and were Fettled in Indiana with their mother at the time ef the testator's death. The court denided, that if the testator bad taken his slaves to Cincinnati with the purpose of freeing them, and afterwards bringing them beck to Mts. sissippl, they could not have hold property, and that the act of emancipation would have been void. But, as the slaves were left in a free State, they were entitled to receive the property of their master. The d'art directed the executor to pro ceed to the fulfilment of the trust.

Mr.—An derson immediately took the prisoner to the resi dence of Mr. Nagley, and in searching him a bunch of keys, a new chisel, and a sorew-driver, and a book containing the - name of George - Henry Egleson, were found on his person. He gave a very unsatisfactory aconunt relative to the arti cles found about him. Yesterday mornine he was taken before Alderman Ogle, who committed him to await a fxrther hearing. Latterly the number of street beggars within the limits of our city, in both town and country, has largely increased, and become an intolerable nuismula. We never saw se many within the city proper. Scarcely a corner or a prominent spot is to be seen that is not in possession of one of these disgusting objects, while not the least notice appears to be taken of them by the police With our heavy poor rates and the excellent accommo dations provided at our expense for this unfortu nate class of people, surely the public expects to be pretested against the assaults of these wretched creatures at every turn. - The Mayor should deem it an essential duty to remove the evil forthwith. A young man named Lewis Seidman, alias Charles Wilson, was taken into custody on Thurs day night, in the yard attached to the dwelling of Mr. Barclay, on Caliowbill street. above Third, under suspicious ciroumstanees- It is supposed that he secreted himself in the yard before dark, and intended robbing ono of the stores on Third street. He is said to belong to a gang of young thieves. He was committed to prison by Alder men Butler On Thursday night a Sight occurred at Seventh and Bedforl streets between a party of colored individuals. During the melee, Thomas Walters was ant in the face with a knife, as is alleged, in the bands of Paul Green. The latter was arrested and taken before Alderman Oarter. Be was com mitted to answer at court. On Thnriday evening the dwelling of Mrs. Fields, at the B. W. corner of Quince and Walnut streets, Eighth ward, was robbed of a hesket con taining a lot of silver epoone. The stolen pro perty, which was,valued at $lOO, was all marked Fields."

The Hope Hose Company.—We were unable to be present at the housing of the new and very superior steam fire-engine built for this deservedly popular company. which took place on Thursday afternoon, yet we have heard good accounts from all who bad that pleasure. The company are in eesteoles over their success In proeuring such a beautiful and efficient machine, but will not run it, until they get an appropriation from Councils. As there is no probability that this will be done for eomo time to come, the Hope will remain in her house. She Is really a very fine machine, and in proportion to her size, is believed to have the greatest capacity of any fire-engine ever built. She has several improvementsnot put in the Phila. delphia, which, as is known to our readers, was made at the earns works. Among these, is a loa thed of lifting the engine off the springs, and also an improvement in the valves. Should Councils appropriate euffioient money to run this engine, and also to provide a good horse or even a - span of horses to draw her, the money would be well spent. and owners of property be benefited. The Hope Rose Company is among the most respectable in the department, and deserves every encourage ment Accident to the Steamboat Logan.—An acci dent occurred to the steamboat Logan, on Thurs day night, which oreated considerable commotion among the,passengers. The steamer had made an excursion to Salem in the morning, and was on her return trip. She had some four hundred persons on board, most of whom had been attend ing the political conventions at Salem. When off Marcus Hook, the shaft of the wheel broke. The wheel continued to revolve, and crushed in the wheel-house. The crash Was tremendous, and the affrignted passengers rushed frantically about the boat. The women screamed, and several were preparing to jump into the river, but were happily prevented from executing their rash design. The engine was stopped as soon as possible, and the injured wheel was detached. The boat pro ceeded on her journey with but one wheel. A small boy jumped from the upper deck, and was struck an the bead by a falling . stool. Rig head wag somewhat cut, hut his injuries are not of a serious character. No other person was injured.

We could not' ascertain the place at which the " affair of honor" is to take place. The difileulty is alleged to have arisen out of something connected with a late convention—both parties being defeated eandidatv for aldermen. Yester day morning, it is further stated, the captaki of a certain military company in the city received a communication from Beaty, asking the loan of a musket. The Hay Iffar4'ef.—The receipts of hay this week at the yard have been moderate. and the tendency of prides continues downwards.

YESTEUDAY'I3 PROMDINGS Reported for The Prers 3 QUARTER Smsstoxs—Judge Allison.—Theresa ER'urt was oharged with atiemp'ing to pass tiss counterfeit bill on the Bank of Newcastle, Dela ware. The testimony for the prosecution failed to show that the note produced in court was the note which the defendant attempted to pass. For the defence it was in evidence that Mrs Effert kept a boarding house, and that she was of good charms ter. She was acquitted. ' Emma Johnson, Dams Johnson, Eliza Johnson, and several other Tohnsons, wore charged with committing nn assault and battery on James Develin, and' James Develin wet charged with a similar impropriety towards all the Johnson family affiresaid. This is the usual course of pro ceeding ip all these oases latterly. No sooner is ono person sued for assault and battery than be retorts by bringing a cross suit, which is calcu lated to have the effect of neutralising the action of the Grand Jury before whom the bills are laid. Should, however, bills be found, and the cases come before a petit jury, the consequenaes are usually (to an uninterested party) exceedingly ludicrous, as the wrong party is almost invariably convicted. In this case the testimony, as usual, was of the most Collaidin character. One witness testified that he came near being mortally wound ed by a brink; while another who saw all the brinks thrown, saw it go within a yard of him. This and Meant' testimony left the jury in a pleasing state of indecision for some time, when they finally agreed to put the costs equally on the defendants, which will perhaps cure them of their litigious propensities. Patrick Corcoran, a police officer, was charged with an assault and battery on a gentleman named MaGurk. Mr. McGurk produced an intelligent witness, who testified that he know nothing at all about the matter, but that the defendant, on some unknown occasion, hit him. Patrick was of course acquitted' A named Ifohn, was charged with the la an. lamen er omfsonle shirts and handkerchiefs. The owner y of the dry goods not appearing, Hahn was acquitted.
