In view Of the aggressions Of the slave
power and the administration, in viola
ting state rights and the rights Of the
people; and in view Of the breach Of faith
perpe,rated by the repeal Of the Mis-
souri, Compromise upon the pretext Of
'squa,ter sovereignty principles, and the
violation Of those principles by encour-
aging gang Of rufians in dislranchis-

natures antagonistic, and that it is the

Join Boyds,on, esq !! who was formerly

ceu,ly decapitated by the popish powers
that be. l. was circulated in:,his vicini-

aforesaid were communications designed
for publication, directed TO the advertiser.
They were sent to Washington, and the

Besides this, il is ascertained through a
gentleman whs recently visited Wash
ington, that Mr., Boydston was removed
for political opinions-at leastso said the
frs.-assistant postmaster general This
will place Mr.. Boyds,on in diaeren,
ligh, before the people that instead OF
being removed for official causes, that be
was decapitated because he de clared him
sell opposed 10 the Nebraska iuiquity-
because he opposed the extension Of slave
territory-because he believed that A
mericans should be preferred for Office
TO aliens and foreigners: and in these
things being opposed to the adminis,ra-
ton in Political opinions, he became un-
fit, in their eyes, to hold The office of p.
NJ, and more fitting nan was substi-
,ated.
Il is truly, time that the people OF free
America, were moving, en- mass, for the
safety of their boasted rights. l. is time
reform should be moved when an hon.
est man, in free state, is removed from
office because e is opposed in sentimen,
10 the extentioh OF slave territory. Thus
the people OF the north are ruled and yok-
ed in seryi,ude to the south. When shall
it ends 1t is for the people TO say. As
yet, the political power is vested in the
people, and the ballot box is their safety.
But if they continue to let the slave pow.
er tyranize over them, this sacred fran
chise will soon be taken from them.
