a class Of whom we hear great deal about
in these days Of political curosites; class
unknown in the former and better days of
the Republicans. when men we're what they
proIessed to be, and who il they did not,
and could not, approve of a measure, sought
no unworthy excuses TO justify their tergi-
versations, but honestly and truly de-
nounced them, aud warned The people
against them. Not so with the aforesaid
consistent editor. He tells us in every is
sue Of his sheet, that he was very much
opposed to the Nebraska bill while it was
pending before CongreSs-an is utterly
opposed to making it a party test-but it
having become law, he non dcquiesceS in
the outrdge-that is, he is now satisfied
with it, and will do nothing and say moth
ing against il, for fear it will destroy the
harmony of the partyl Nay, not only this,
but he will as readily support Nebraskaites
for Office as any others. At the same time
be objects to passing resolutions endorsing
the measured Can any man harmonic
the two positions? One section of the
Democracy are willing 10 come up boldly
and let the world see, by their resolutions,
that they are in favor of the extension of
the slave system, while the editor of the
democrat" is opposed TO the resolutions,
but at the same time tells his readers to
be sure and vote for men whom lie kRoscs
TO be pledged TO vote 0ith the Southern Stare
propaganda upon every question Jetween
the North and South. The resolutions can
r do no harm, but those elected to carry
them out is what every honest man is
bound TO lcok at The editor says be
sure and oppose all resolutions endorsing
the iniquity, but wherever Democrats have
been nominated, who voted for the abom-
Unable law, to be sure and vote to re.elect
them. Can such man be honest? Is he
a safe counsellor, and to be trusted? Look
r at him, voters of Sandusky county !
Here is man who admits that at the re-
cent session of Congress, law was passed
admitting slavery into territory from which
, it has heretofore been excluded by law,
| and that this is all wrong, unjustifiable and
utterly inexcusabe; but at the same time
= you must acqmesee in this robbery of free
dom, otherwise you will hazard the suprem-
acy of the Democratic party! No matter
if every foot of the free territory Of this
+ government is converted into slave territory,
. and freedom robbed Of its heritage, for the
benefit Of the aristocratic slave driver, you
must not murmur, but vote to keep and
G put into Office the very instruments that
have robbed and will continue to rob the
free States Of their rights You must not
pass resolutions on paper endorsing sucl
r measures, but you must vote for men, says
the editor, who will vote to make such laws
f and if you do not, you are not good Dem
: ocrats and must be read out of the party
forthwith Is it any wonder that that
, shining light. c. Calhoun.-now paet
$ by death, said that "the Democracy of the
I north were the natural allies of the south
; ern slaveholJers!" This is true TO the very
letter, and the whole history of the party
proves it. They have never failed, when
n ever southern shareholders demanded it, t.
sacrifice the interests of the free north
They may have protested against it in the
start, but in the end always yielded, anc
instead Of carrying out true republican
> principles, have basely bowed the neck tc
the behests of slave drovers Mr.. Ran
>. dolph told them, "We will use you 20 &C
S complish our purposes, and when that il
e done, like base coin will nail you 10 tn,
. counter"
# They have always accomplished the
J. purposes in some way or other, through
S this pretended Democratic party. The fu
gitive slave law was carried through BY
:, threats and persuasions. The northern
II Democracy betrayed the north, and the Law
;, was passed by their votes. Then followed
&c the Nebraska bill, which shocked the ma
$ ton. This was TO admit slavery into terri
!, tory twelve times as large as the State o
! New York. No man dreamed that it coult
n be done; the proposition was too monstrou

this government should at the MONDAY O
the nineteenth century, lend itself to th'
|. extension and perpetuation of an institution
which trades and traffics in the souls ant
bodies of men, was what nobody could be
y lieve. That Representatives elected By
: the free north, should vote to admit into
J. free territory, an institution that makes it
