official purity and patriotism, innuirpassed in

an honest and able statesman could on, in a
few eventful years, to carry out the traditional
of the government; and, on his own

more than t.) be permitted to retire to the

The result of the election of delegates to the
Kansas Constitutional Convention is still in
doubt. The telegraph announced that the
Republicans had a majority of three, but late
accounts do not confirm this statement. The
St, Louis Republican, of the 13th inst., states
dip the Republicans claim a majority of two,
with six doubtful counties yet to be heard
from. The Democracy made a clean sweep of
/feerentreeth county, the roost populous in
the Territory. The city of Leavenworth,
with a population of near ten thousand, gave
11 1 1 Ilfilnegate vote of 2,424, end defeated PAR
ROT, EWING, and other Repablic.au leaders.
The result of this election, says the Patriot
and Union, takes the Republicans by surprise.
They never dreamed of danger in Kansas.—
After all they had done to promote the wel
fare of the people, after all the exertions used
to dedieateKansas forever to freedom, the sus
picion that she might prove false never seems
to have entered their mind'. Here, when it
is announced that the election for delegates is
so close that if the Republicans are not defea
ted their supremacy is maintained by the
most slender thread, they are quite mute with
amazement.
Good !Cr Connecticut.
The three proposed amendments to the Con
necticut State Constitution, reducing the nu trk
tJer of the Representatives in tbe Legislature,
allowing colored men to vote, and requiring
an adopted citizen to reside in the State one
year before becoming an elector, have all

tives, the first by yeas 49, nays 173; the
second, yeas 49, nays 173, and the third, yeas

Connecticut i■ an old Democratic State ;
and although she has of late years departed
from the true faith, we are glad to see that
there is yet enough of the Democratic leaven
pervading her people, to save them from dis
gracing themselves by elevating negroes to a
political equality with white citizens, and (as
Massachusetts has just done) degrading
adopted citizens ly denying them, the right
to voto for one year beyond the period of
probation prescribed by the Congress of the
United States. Coenecticut will come out
right next year, we do not doubt.

Tha Qermans of the West threaten the Re

To this we find in the New York Courier
and Enquirer this sharp response:
This sort of impertinent and officious inter
ference with the action of a sovereign State
is the very thing which will revive the Amer
iean organization, if anything can do it, and
ill lead to such a proscription of citizens of
foreign birth as neither Republicans nor Dem

Our information from almost every part of
the State confirms us in the belief that the
Democracy (notwithstanding their unfortu
nate disagreement about a by-gone and de
funct issue) are a soul in support of Messrs.
WRIGHT and Rows, and that they will resell's
the full party rote, if not more, at the Dote
-I..er election.
In Lancaster county, we can assure our
friends at a distance, all is right. Lecomp•-
tonism and anti-Lecomptonism are forgotten,
in the general desire by all our Democratic
brethren to roll up a heavy vote for the ticket
and in support of our time-honored principles.
The Black Republican candidates are worthy
and respectable men in their way, barring
their political connexions; but the Democracy
of this county look uipa their own candidates
as a little more wo rt y and quite as respec
table, and, what is of equal importance, they
are the representative', for the time being, of
those great and fundamental principles which
are considered so essential to the prosperity
and glory of our common country.
We are now firmly of the belief that the
Democratic candidates will be triumphantly
sustained at the ballot-boxes, and their elec
tion will give the finishing blow to Black
Republicanism in good old Pennsylvania.—
Let our friends every where take courage at
the flattering political prospects, which are
daily becoming more and more manifest—
looming up all around them—and present an
unbroken front to the enemy from now until
the election closes on the second Tuesday of
October. The result of this election in Penn
sylvania will have an important hearing on
the Presidential campaign of next year, and
that consideration. of itself, should stimulate
every Democrat to do his duty faithfully and
energetically in the present contest.—Lasscar

The llrtnisbarg Patriot and U..ww, In
speaking of the nominees of the late Opposi
tion State Convention, says when Gem. Reim,
the nominee of the Opposition for Surveyor
General, was a candidate fur Congress, he
was the mildest and most artless of politi
cians. If we are not mistaken, he appeared
before the people of Berke county as almost a
Democrat, and was elected by the votes of
disaffected Democrats, on the ground that
be more nearly represented Democratic prin
ciples than his opponent,the regular candidate.
Ifs nominal member of the Opposition, he
was regarded as not Opposition enough !to
hurt bim. We have an Indistinct reoullection
that he endorsed the Democratio doctrine. of
Popular Sovereignty in the Territories, At
least, he took good care not to approve of any
of the doctrines of the Republican party, but
to commend himself principally by the eargest
advocacy of a Protective Tariff. Ills perso
nal popularity, and the general negativeness
of his professions, secured his election from
the strongest Democratic county in the State.
It is now apparent that General Kam is
not the first wolf that has appeared in sheep's
clothing. The late Republican Convention
understood fully that, although the General
was almost persuaded to be a Denoerat when
soliciting a favor from Democrats, he was
a through-bred Republican when desiring a
nomination from Republicans, and that his
Berks county face was only a false-face, put
on to deceive Democrats. hence be was duly
endorsed as a sound Republican, and nomina
ted with the enthusiasm with which that party
always greets the successful practicers of dis
cumulation. What in artful dodger is Keim!
giiirThe Opposition in the North are jut
now trying to make people teliere that the
Demoora,tic party at the South are favorable
to a re-opening of the slave trade. This is
all mere bosh, got up fur political effect. The
truth• is, a few individuals are found, here
and there, in the Southern States, who advo-
cate the project; but so far from either party
being identified with it, it is openly condemn
ed by three-fourths of the prominent men of
all parties.
Discotdvit iw Coaneelicid.—Some of the
Republican journals in Connecticut are pitch
ing into their party in round terms. They do
not like the waj things are managed, which
is not at all surprising. The Legislature,
and all the Republican leaden', are lost in
admiration of African novelties, and every
State interest is sacrificed to personal aims.
still at their Work.—The Republican Kno•
Nothings, of Louisville, Ky., still continue
their hostility and outrages toward o u r adop
ted citizens, especially those of German birth.
On Monday last an attack was made upon the
Turners' Association of that city, as they
were returning from a pienic, by a gang of
these rowdies, armed with shot-guns and pis
tols.
The Puraase .f Mount Vernon.--It is un
derstood that the entire amount necessary fur
the purchase of Mount Vernon has already
been subscribed—thirty thousand dollirs
only remaining unpaid; but the Association
will not alone the subscription lists until a
sufficient aura shall be in hand to improve
the property, now in the most neglected bon.
ifirSome of the leading grain design in
England write that if the European hsrvprts
turn out as well as they now promise, thbre
is no probability that there will be any very
extraordinary demand on the United States
to supply the deficiencies, notwithstanding
the war. .

!Leary Biala,
An unusually heavy and destructive rain
visited this county on Monday evening last.—
Conowago, Marsh and Rock creeks rose rapid
ly, and, with the smaller streams, were swol
len to an extraordinarleight. Fences were
carried away from points which had not been
reached by high water for more than twen
ty years. We hear that Roth's mill dam, on
Conowago, and Horner's mill darn, on Rock
creek, were much injured by what we my
characterize as a food.
The following letter, from a friend whose
contributions are always welcome, describes
the effects of the rain between this and Lit
tlestown :
Lrrnesrown, Jane =,(l, 1839
Ms. EDITOR: —On Monday evening last, af
ter various preliminary evolutions and pre
monitory phases of the clouds, between 6 and
7 o'clock, they began to pour out their wa
tery contents very.profusely ; increasing in a
short time to torrents, intermingled occasion
ally with a sprinkling of small hail-stontw,
producing :n a few hours the greatest dad
ever known in this section of country. The
turnpike between this place and Gettysburg
has, in many planes, been literally tun
up. Three bridges and several culverts
bate been totally swept away or rendered im
pisPible. The stone bridge just below us,
which has withstood the floods of more than
half a century, was totally swept down, and
many of the larger stone deposited in a mea
dow many rods below where it once stood.
At the branch near J. D. Newman's, the
enraged current, finding the calibre of the
bridge too small for its accommodation, made
free to open for itself a channel some 8 or 10
feet deep and about 15 feet wide, across the
turnpike, snugly depositir.g the materials in
a meadow some distance below. The freshet
occurring at this busy season of the year,
several weeks must necessarily elsbpse before
the bridges can be rebuilt and the breaks
filled up. Farmers also have sustained heavy
losses, in hay swept sway, unmown meadows
covered with mud and sand, and in the de
situation of fencing. Yours, S.
:.w.
The trowel and phute are again busy in
our midst. Quite a number of buildings,
promising to be creditable to the town as well
as to the builders, are now in progress of
erection—viz ; A three-story brisk, on Bal
timore street, for D. KAROL aaaaa ; a two
story brick, with attic, in Carlisle street, by
& Joan Waltman; a two-story brick,
with attic, in W. Middle street, for Weir

New, 411pdieftlor Case
We learn from the Carlisle Volunteer that
the negvoes recently abducted from Cumber
land county consisted of it, man named But
ler, and his wife and daughter, the latter 13
years of age. They were originally from the
south, and had been the slaves of a wj4ow
lady of Maryland, who manumitted them
previous t her death.
After the discovery of the abduction, sus
picion rested upon several persons, among
them VAIIINTINI Gass, living about Paper
town, who was arrested and committed for
trial. From developments made by him,
suspicion rested upon ENAhrrIL MYSRS, re
siding below Littlestown, just across the line,
in Maryland, whose arrest we noticed last
week. Ile has been committed for trial, and

4 'booties affray occurred at a house of
bad repute. kept by ► man named Kobler, in
Chansbiriburg, on Saturday night week.—
The Spirit, of Wed nes d ay , „y,
A few eights ago some rowdies, as usual,
assembled at the . house, and had a dispute'
a bout a prostitute, in which one of the parties'
was stoned away from the house. It appears'
from all the information we could collect,:
and we think it may be relied upon as pretty
accurate, though a legal investigation may
nrseent it in a different light, that on Satur
day night last one of these parties, n m an
named McLaughlin, a plasterer by trade, and
a na ti ve of Gettysburg, Adams county, and
who h as b een wnrktnit at his trade in this
7)lace for only a few weeks, visited this house
and induced a friend named Wm. Glenn to
accompany him. This Glenn is a native of
Baltimore,a marble-worker by trade, end had
been in the employ of Mr. John Meradden,l
of this place, for se‘eral months back. Mc• 1
Laughlin stated to Glenn that he had been
attacked at this house on the Thursday night
previous, and desired Glenn to go with him
to defend him in case of a second attack.—
This at first Glenn refused to do, but after
drinking together he consented and armed
himself with a revolving pistol, McLaughlin,
we believe, had a "Billy" or "Slung shot."
They visited the house together and were in
company with a prostitute named "Till Mel
linger" in a back room t f the house, while
: the front room was occupied by four or tire
young men of this place who were engaged
in drinking. Glenn, McLaughlin, and the
girl Mellinger. left the house together, and
went in the direction of town. They were
immediately followed by the young men in
the house. McLaughlin remained some dis
tence in the rear of Glenn and the girl, and'
remarked to the youngleen that "they had
better not follow that mall, that he had a pis
tol and would shoot them." A stone, it is
said, was then thrown by some one in the di
rection of Glenn, who immediately turned
and fired three shots in rapid succession, and
running back a short distance, fired a fourth,
in a direction where two or three persons
were standing. McLaughlin happened to be
one of these persons and was struck by the
shot. Glenn then made nt some of the others
and swore that he had still a shot in his pis
tol for them. ISlcLaughlin after being.wound
ed ran towards town, but becoming fa int from
the loss of blood, returned to the scene of th e
shooting, and then, for the first time Glenn
discovered that he had shot hie friend. Ile
became almost frantic with grief and expres
sed his distress at his mistake in the wildest ,
manner. He done all he could to comfort
the apparently dying man, and ran immedi
ately for a doctor, to whom be stated that he
bad shut his friend, and begged him to come
to his relief at once.
On repairing to the scene immediately after
bearing of the affray, we found a large and
excited crowd collected in and about the '
building. We elbowed our way through the
crowd and met Sheriff Brown coming out of
the door of the house with Glenn in custody.
By a little manoeuvering we gained admission
into the house and found it literally packed
fall. The wounded man was stretched on a I
low bench in the centre of the densely packed •
crowd, and our • skillful Surgeon Dr. J C.'
Richards by his side„ industriously probing
the wound, and using every means fur relief
that Surgical Art affords.
We observed the wound to be on the right
side of the neck a few inches below the ear,
and from the direction the probe seemed to
take in the hands of the Doctor, we supposed
the ball to have entered the neck close to the
Carotid artery and passed along under the
root of the tongue, opening the gullet, and
some of the arterial branches in that neigh
borhood. The wounded man was vomiting
blood freely, which evidently entered the
stomach through some other passage than the
natural one; The track of the ball at this
point is obliterated and its course and loca
tion cannot be discovered.
It is but proper to state that when Glenn
discovered that it was his companion and
friend who was shot, he appeared iu the
deepest distress of mind, which McLaughlin
observed and remarked—" Bill, do not worry
yourself about it, it was not you that shotine,
it was the other party." McLaughlin still
persists in saying that Glenn did not shout
pim.
A "Billy" or "Slum , e' Shot," with marks of
blood on the inside o f the strap that passes
around the wrist, was flund, on Sunday
morning, near the spot where McLaughlin
fell. It is conjectured that this instrument
belonged to, or had been in the hands .of
McLaughlin, but concerning this matter we
could find no positive evidence.
Glenn has been arrested and imprisoned,
and has employed Ron. Wilson Reilly as his
counsel. At last 'lei:mints McLaughlin's con-
dition was improving, and hopes of his recov
ery were entertained.

this question can be finally determined. it
will be necessary to understand distinctly
upon what issues the canvas is to be conduct
ed. If, as I have full faith they will, the
Democratic party shall determine in the
Presidential eloction ut ISO to adhere to the
compromise principles eini.idied in the emu-.
promise measures of 1850, and ratified by
the people in the Presidential election of
D 52, and re-affirmed in the Kansas Nebraska
Act of lAri-t, and incorporated into the Cin
cinnati Platform in 1856 ; as expounded by
Mr. Buchanan in his letter accepting the
nomination, and approved by the people in
• his election ; in that event, my friends will
be at liberty to present my name to the Con
vention, if they see proper to do go. If, on
the contrary, it shall become the policy of the
Democratic party, which I cannot anticipate,
to repudiate these, their time honored princi
ples on which we have achieved so many
patriotic triumphs, and in lieu of them the
Convention shall interpolate into the creed of
the party such new issues as the revival of
the African slave trade, er a Congressional
slave code fur the Territories, or the doctrine
that the Constitution of the United States
either establishes or prohibits slavery in the
Territories, beyond the potter of the pooplo
legally to control it, as othertroperff, it ie
due to candor to say that in such an event
could not accept the nomination, if tendered
to me.
Trusting that this answer will be deemed
sufficiently explicit, I am, very respectfully.
