Charging on the FRS, District.

0Cus LuuC spOnC Out " iuot w Gu
nesday. He took advantage of the crowd as
sembled to hear Messrs. Hall and Miller, in
their Congressional discussion, and made a
speech in direct opposition to the principles
advocated by Hail. and when Mr.. Hall,
from an engagement at Cynthiana to speak
that afternoon, could not be present to re-
ply. Ifthis were fair or gentlemanly, we are
no Judge of courtesy. Ii is true Mr.. Miller
needs help, but we do not think it becoming
or necessary 10 volunteer it in this manner
If Gen. Lane is determined to make speeches,
let him get his own crowds. He said at the
meeting Tuesday evening, he had merely
come on visit to his old friends, and indeed
when he arrived at Indianapolis he was
greatly surprised to find an excitement in
this State on the Nebraska question:! That
he had then come down here. merely on a
social visit, but he had indeed spoken wher-
ever he could get a crowd, and since he has
been here, he has spoken three times and at
three different places in twenty-four hours !!
Now, the General has been called upon TO
visit this District, just as Robinson and Fitch
and May and Bright and Willard and A lien
and Ficklen, and as perhaps flanagan and
Petit have been called upon, and he is 60
ing to do his work. He stands well with the
Democracy, and he intends taking advantage
of every gathering to endeavor 10 get Demo-
Gratis in their affection for him, to relinquish
their own free opinions and all their indepen-
dence, and vote for party, throwing all princ-
Piles aside, and especially the great principle
of extension of slave territory, upon which
the coming election will turn. We hope
Democrats, as much as many of them may
love Gen. Lane, will not be such tools in his
hands, as to do just he says. He has not
even the superior intellect 10 dictate to intel.
ligent men, while he knows nothing in this
canvass, but to support his masters, the Ad-
administration.
We.call upon all true Democrats, those
we mean, who are true to their old princi-
Piles, to spurn dictation from any source
even lIOHi UeH. LANE. he district is over
run with imported speakers of your own
party, who are determined you shall not think
for yourselves, and act independently. The;
are all advocates Of the infamous Nebraska
Bill, and although your independent feeling:
revolt against lending your support to thi:
swindle, they intend you shall vote as heg
wish, and not as yourselves think.
Have those opposed to the Nebraska swim
die brought any foreign speakers into ,hi.
district Not one. Satisfied in the right ant
Justice of their cause, they submit the ques
ton to the people, and do not attempt by an,
foreign influence, to bias the opinions of the
people. But the Nebraska advocates will
not submit to this decision. Their "popula
sovereignty" does not extend thus far They
are compelled by the weakness of their cause
to import their strongest men into this dis
trict, who wilfuly deceive the people as to tn,
great issue before them. We have ha,
enough of this, and we believe the people ar,
getting tired of it. They have a vast deal G
good nature, but probably they 60 not pos
sess all required to stand dictatioa and tn,
party lash in so many different hands.
