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

'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

Douglas, and against James Buchanan ; and t if
their wishes could have prevailed, the Convention
would have nominated the Illinois statesman upon

Virginia has never been insensible to the useful

still cherishes affection for the great statesman of
the Northwest, and desires his return to the Senate,

A D. Semi, sworn. 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

would be hung ; I have said that the two men who

Questiod. Have you,not etatecl in Vie town of

the time be killed Jenkiuir ought to be hung, shot
or killed for not shooting :better, or words to that
purport? ,- • ' -
Answer. r think - I:did say they ought to be
oonvfoted;• I dOnVietnember the precise words I
used; that I Lthought . the Only offence , they had
been guilty of in my hpinion - .'
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. Leicester square, Lai 'proved
so successful since Messrs. Howes and Cushing con
verted it into the Great United States' Chum,'
s, iit probably for a long time it will re'ain its
present form. Chief among the renowned four
footed performers in the circus is the American
trick-horse Black Eagle; and this fine specimen of
the equine race fully justifies its title of The
Corse of Beauty.' Ile is fifteen bands and a
half high, and seven years old. The sire is Black
Hawk, the celebrated American trotter. Black
Eagle, among his many accomplishments, waltzes,
polkas, imitates the camel of the desert, awl
Mends erect upon his bind legs; indeed, his
various performances, under the direotion of Mr.
Xebn 11. Murray, are marvellous for their dexterity
and grace.
"At a private performance recently given at
noires and Cushing's Circus, and which was hon.
ored by the presence of royalty, Black Eagle was
the principal attraction. There were present on
that occasion her Majesty the Queen, his Royal
Ifighness the Prince Consort, accompanied by a
number of the nobility."

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

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.

The Hope Hose Company.—We were unable

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.

Rose Company is among the most respectable in

THE COURTS.
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.

Politic? in New Jersey,—The following cor
respondence from Salem, N. J., gives a fair ne
count of the Congressional Convention which mot
at that place on Thursday afternoon :
SALEM, N. J., June - 2 I 185 , 1.
The American Convention to nominate a candi
date for Congress met this afternoon at two
S. A. Bayard, the president of the last CenveLtlon,
presiding.
John W. Chester, of Camden county, Lit t - ed
that none but delegates be permitted to remain in
the room. This was not agreed to, owing tc
number of persons, said to be " outsiders," ot irg
against it. Dr. Hubert Ia Nixon delegate', n
elected perthanent president, and a committe: on
credentials wile appointed. A portion of the cm..-
vention, consisting of " straight Americans," dis
satisfied with these proceedings, thep withirc r
and organized another ConvehtiOn at Plittimee
Hotel. The seceders nominuted John 11. Jones
of ,Camden, for Congress, and adopted a series of
resolutions favoring a protective tariff. denouncing
the Kansas policy of the Administration, and coi
-1 :gist:lg Mr. Jones.
The "People's Convention" assembled about
the same time, and nom:nated John T Nixon for
Congress, and that gentleman was endorsed by a
portion of the " American " Convention. The
resolutions adopted by the Nixonites differ very
slightly from those which obtained the approval
of the "Straights." The real contest was be
tween the two prominent candidates._ .These pro
ceedings have caused much excitement throggli
