Bogus Democ racy is very feeble in this county. At the ComHy Convention, but three townships ,were represented by regular, delegates , The Democratic Nominee for Governor. Hon. Charie'a E. . Stuart, the Demo cratic ; nominee for Governor, made himself somewhat notorious, and at tained a certain degree' of popularity, by his opposition to Vthe Lecompton fraud, during the last session of Con gress. He opposed the administration in Us wicked endeavors to force slavery upon the people of Kansas, and his constituents; read his speeches upon this 'matter tvithsome 'degree df pnde,and lauded him for-the -spirit-of nranliness evinced The. reason of Mr. Stuart's conduct 1 was never ' fully' kiiown(; "but that T)f his leader ; in ; this matter, Ste phen A. Douglas, was surmised, and we believe quite truly "To give bur read ers aii jdea of what we.believe to have been kts reasons for opposing the ad ministration, and what seems to be the prevailing opinion of those" of his own party, we give the following ' extract from a recent speech delivered in the city of Springfield, 111., by U. S. District Attorney, Henry S. Fitch, T)emocrat of course) in which they are clearly set forth. ' Speaking of Mr, Douglas course of opposing , the administration upon the Kansas question, he says : The first "great principle that un derlies? the movement is the principle of self-preservation. Great laughter. Douglas conceived that his re-election depended upon it. His political neces sities drove him into the course. The growing free soil sentiment of Illinois must be conciliated or the State would no longer require his servipes. Cheers. It was not that Kansas was about to be forced into the Union, but that Douglas was likely to be forced out of the Sen ate. Prolonged laughter. Not that Popular Sovereignty in the Territories was being violated, but that Popular S6vereigntyi in the State was about to be enforced. Continued laughter. Not that the reign of Kansas " to regu late, her domestic institutions in her own way, subject only to the 'Federal Constitution," was to be overthrown, but that the ' right of Illinois to the same thing, unsubjected to the dictation of Mr. Douglas, was to be enforced. Cheers and laughter. .. '., It was not that the honorable Sena tor loved the Democracy less, but that he loved Douglas more. He was per fectly willing to make any reasonable sacrifice of his friends or their means to sustain the party, but to ask him to sacrifice his own persoual interest was asking a little too much even for the Little Giant. Great cheers. It may have been very Roman and very im mortal to stand up like a brave and honorable man in defence of the party that had elevated him, but it might have cost him his Senatorial head, hence he preferred the discretion to the valor of the deed. Hit him again. Honor may have pricked him on, but if honor should have pricked hi in off that was the rub. Honor had no skill in ballots. Honor could notsecure a vote; there tore he would have none of it. Loud cheers. ' Add to this a very natural and dis creet principle of self preservation, a private pique against Mr. Buchanan for having defeated him at Cincinnati, and thus spared him a still greater de feat at the hands of the people, and refusing to appoint Mr. Richardson to a Cabinet Office, (who by-the-bye would have made a brilliant Cabinet officer,) and you have the " true intent and meaning" of the anti-Lecompton fight in a nut shell. . Laughter and cheers. Wc believe these to be the reasons that led to the conduct of Mr. Douglas, and will not the same arguments apply very well to the case of Mr. Stuart? Certainly his, late conduct shows that it will. ' He knew full well the people of Michigan would never sustain such doctrines as were being : promulgated by the administration' and with an eye to his seat in the Senate; he leagued himself with Douglas, they both having the same grand .object , in view, viz: a re-election. Mr. Douglas has gone homo and is now fighting his battle,- but Mr. Stuart on his return home, found, that his constituents demanded something broader of him. ne found that the true Republican sentiment still prevailed in his State, and that a total repudiation of the administration, with all its pro-slavery proclivities and ruth less extravagance was the only grounds upon which he could expect a re-elec tion. Feeling that he . could scarcely go that, and seeing how slim his chan ces were for Congress, he commenced feelincr for the Governorship. Still clinging, as was supposed, to his Anti Lecompton feelings; he went before the Democratic Convention for a nomina tion, and received it from the hairds of his. Anti-Lecompton.friends.. No sooner does he receive the nomination, than he gives in his full adhesion to the ad ministration, and returns; "like the dog to his vomit," to his former miry pit, there again to wallow in the dirty dregs of locofocoism,1 and bask' in the smiles of a heretofore angry President- The following are Mr. Stuart's words to the Convention: ' V ' ".Difference of opinion it is trqc, had froni tune to time existed among us respecting the true., application r of our principles, out au sucu naa- ceased to exist with the cause which gave them birth.' Applause. We.all know how to abide by the-decision of a majority. Circumstances 'would? perhaps, justify him in saying what he would not oth erwise have, deemed it necessary to say, that whoever supposed that he enter tained any hostility towards the present administration as much 'mistook the speaker's position ' as that of the Con vention. Applause. IFexi to the re ligion of the God he worshipped, he esteemed the principles of the party to which he I belonged for he regarded those principles as indispensable to the maintenance of our political institu tions." ; N And since Mr, Stuart has returned again into the full faith and confidence of the administration, we propose to give a few points in. the creed which he endorses, and of the platform upon which- he must now stand. v He said that next to the God -he .worshipped he esteemed the principles of the Democratic party.-. tThefollowing are a few oft hem "We extract from Presi dent' Bochanans letter- to ' ProfessoH Silliman, August loth, 1357 : ' - .."

To'the former friends of Mr. Stuart, those who respected him for his former opposition i'o the a'droinfctration, we would ask to read the following from the Detroit IIcta1d an . organ ' in the full confidence c f the administration, and which speaks by authority which will show plainly how be now stands with the administration : " Mr. Stuart, one of the most active and determined opponents of the I re sident in the Senate, lias not only sur rendered his opposition, but has also given his unreserved adhesion to the Administration, and supports ALL of its nolicu.

" - The article of "Jefferson," on the State expenses, has a wide circula tion, i It has a marked influence'on his republican friends in this county. JtTa tional Democrat. A Whew ! That takes us. " Pus re publican friends 1" Wc are of the opinion," Mr. Democrat, that you will find his J" Republican friends' iu this county," remarkably scarce. We are inclined :to think that S. N. Gantt is too well knoYll in Cass County as a designing and scheming politician a politician in whom ecn the Democrat ic party, although they have accepted of his vast, influence," have no confi dence. We think it-is too well known in this county, that he is engaged in tlie .attempt,' atthe present time? by secret and despicable means to defeat the Republican party, by collusion with our opponents, to have anything which may emanate from him attain to any degree of influence, here. J It is true that the article signed "Jefferson," has been printed in pamphlet form prefb- ably through the great i influence" of its author and distributed throughout the State. ' But. we have yet to learn that its advent, even in those sections where its author is unknown, has had any very " marked influence" on the Republican party. ' Tho charges con tained in this illegitimate offspring of the Peck-Kanter Report havp been so often nailed as falsehoods,- by the Re publican press throughout the State, that it is considered merely a waste of valuable time to notice this attempt of the redoubtable " Jefferson." We ask our friends to give the article on our first page, in regard to: the State ex penses," the items of which is copied from the records in the State offices at Lansing a careful perusal, and they will sec how much dependence there is to be placed irk ' the statements of S.

The two Conventions having been called on the same day, it was hoped and expected that they would unite in order the better to defeat their common enemy, the pro-slavery party. Accordingly, a Committee of Confer ence from each Convention was ap pointed, whoj after occupying most of the day Wednesday, found the attempt to unite an impracticability, and . the Conventions proceeded to the nomina tion of separate tickets. The Repub licans ' nominated the following ticket, which was received with much enthu siasm: For Governor E. D. Morgan. For Lieut. Governor Robt. Campbell For Canal Com"r Hiram Gardiner. For State Prison Insp'r J. K. Everest The convention then adjourned with nine cheers for the ticket -The American Convention nomina ted the following ticket: Lorenzo Burroughs, for Governer; N. S. Ben ton, for Lieut. Governor; J. R. Thomp son, for Canal Commissioner; W. A. Russell, for State Prison, Inspector The Convention, after mutual con gratulations, then adjourned. Railkoad Accident. A terrible railroad accident occurred onthenicrht of the 10th inst, oiv the Steubenyille & Indiana Railroad. It appears ' that while the train 'was crossing a bridge, about 13 miles from Steuben villc the express car and the rear of the engine jumped the . track and knocked out some of the main timbers, which caused the bridge to' suddenly give way. ' The baggage car and front passenger car went down with the. Dridge, some ten or twelve feet while the rear end of the hind car remained on the abutment The first car was almost completely broken up, : and the seats in the hind one were nearly all ( broken from their fasteuipgs. - Several persons are said to have been instantly killed, and a great many-more seriously. injured. ; St7 .There have been , sold, of, the Swamp Lands, up to the 20th' of Au gust, 86,413 acres.' : The State has re ceived "in cash. for them .$44,900, and will receive yearly interest on 6 1,000 more until payment is matte to tlie State by the purchasers,' which must be within ten years.'

Every citizen ot one State coming into ant ther State, has, therefore, aright to the protection of his person, and that pro perty which is recognized as such by the constitution of the United States, any' law of a State to the contrary not withstanding. So far from . any State having a right to deprive him of this property, it is its bounden duty to. pro tect him in its possession. ' ' "' It these views are correct and we believe it would be difficult to invali date them it follows that all State laws, whether organic or otherwise which prohibit- a citizen of one State from settling in another, and bringing his slave property with him, and most especially declaring it forfeited, are di rect violations of the original intention of a government which, as before sta ted, in the protection ot person and property, and of the constitution of the United States, which recognizes property in slaves, and declares that " the citizens . of each State shall be entitled to all the privileges and immu nities of citizens in the several Mates among the most essential of which is the protection of person and property.
