The writer nneonseiously and by mistake
puts down Truth. hc says: "In the first
place, there can he 10 inality in politics, cx-
cept in the establishment Of Justice and

souh CompTomise amply proves that fact
thatt Compromise was falsitv. Ii slavery
was unconstitutional, it was as much so
south of the line rs north of the line, if the
people south Of the line had rightto govern
themselves and make their own constitution
tho people north Of tha Inc possessed the
same right and no Congress under Eea,e9s has
the right to snatch it from them. Such 4
compron;se was fraud at iritro it was Civ
ing the lie to the assertion. that all power

The writer in Putnam is ayersa to com
promises be says-a candid confession--and
yet he harps upon them. He says the con-

faith Of the South, and that the disturbance
Of it BY the South Vas neither honorable nor

Tho writer lAen talks cf the Kansas out
ages. Concerning them we have nothing TO
say. Neither The South or the Democratic
party are responsible for them. one mis-
take he inaks5--bs whole party have made
it, or they have ~ilfully misrepyesented the
facts in the case. lie argues upon the ground
that the Nebra.ka ill forces slavery into the

There are many misrepresentation and
false statements in lis article. but We have
not time 10 notice them all. lie IS evidently
some crazy poet who hes been dwelling so
