A Janns-faced N braskaiIc Unmasked
by Himself!

We took the liberty last week of stating that
the Lopcfoco nominee for Congress, in his hypo.
critical opposition to the Nebraska bill, had
sorely oppressed himself by carry lazy mans
load, The following letter, addressed to one
of his friends, from Washington, will fully dem

| few words to you, a stranger. The Democracy
has done much for the country, and we should
not think Of abandoning it; because 1t has missed
fire once. For one, want all Who feel and
think with me, to remain with the Democratic
organization, so that we may be strong enough
TO control it and keep it straight in the line Of
its principles and policy We can do more--
much more--for correct Democratic principles,
in the Democratic organization, than we can
out Of it. After all slavery NAV not be estaL-

than tie bad feeling engendered will have been
done, we ought 10 do nothing rsshly but wait
and see 1t will be time enough to devise rem
edies for mischief after it hls taken place: let
all stand by the old Democratic party, until the
evil apprehended has taken place then we can
fix upon some plan of remedies.
Excuse this-and also the delay in answer to
yours, and believe me.
! Yours Respectfully.
ANDREW STUART.
