The Nebraska portion Of the Democracy
throughout Ohio, and not this State alone.
are in terrible suds. and what is 10 be
done TO shield them from the total over
throw that awaits them at the fall elections
they do not know. They have called up
the spirits and as their ghastly forms stand
before them with eyes that look into their
souls, they tremble and quake, They fear
the issue, and imploriugly ask, "If they
may not be released from the bond they
have entered into, to give the territories
heretofore devoted 10 Freedom, 10 the
Saveocracy for a perpetual heritage" But
they find they have entered into league with
one who will never release them from the
covenan; they have signed, and be will hold
them TO the performance Of all the stipula-
tions. With chuckle he tells them TO get
up other issues and draw off the attention
Of the people from the great outrage they
wish to perpetuate. To tell the Democrats,
that the people are at liberty TO do as they
wish in regard TO the future government Of
the territories, and that slavery can never
gain foothold there. That good Demo-
Gratis should not forsake their old party be-
cause IL hos done an unwise aad ,Drono act,
and thus allow their enemies, the lovers of
their country 20 triumph over them. Tell
them that all this fuss about Kansas and
Nebraska is only got up TO interrupt the
harmony Of the democracy. and that too by
Abolitionists and disappointed Wings. Tell
them that you "alWdys condemned" the
passage of the bill. but now that it is passed
and become a law, it is your duty, as one
of the leaders, to conform to the will Of the
majority, and interpose no obstacle in the
wsy of its literal fulflmeni, and that it is
their duty, also, 10 assist in carrying out its
several specifications. Tell them, that they
are erpected as democrots, 10 unitedly put
their shoulders to the wheel and help on
the cause. Tell them they may under GER
tain circumstances ackno wledge that there
has been foul wrong consummated but
under no circumstances whatever must they
fail 10 appear on the day Of the election to
vote the straight ticket, which will be pre-
pared for them; not listening to what the
fanatical Abolitionists may say about their
duties as freemen, and privileges as Ameri-
can Citizens. Tell them that what you
publish in your columns is the only true and
orthodox doctrine, and that you will never
publish any of their fanatical proceed
ings. If you will follow these directions all
you have covenanted to perform will be &C
complshed and we will be content.
Thus have they received their instruc.
tions, and thus do they intend to carry them
out, hoodwinking the people into the sup
port Of their darling measure, the extension
Of the slave power They have sold them
selves 10 the South, and the gain they have
gotten will do them no more good than did
the thirty pieces Of silver which Judas ac
cepted for the betrayal Of his MASTER
Michigan. Indiana and Ohio are already in
the field. Their freemen have several,
spoken; their words Of encouragement viii
meet such responses from all the free States
as will overwhelm the enemies of Freedom
and cause them TO triumph with liberty anc
right. Amen.
