STRAIGHT oUT-The Galena Jeffersonian DEM
ocratic), speaking Of the success of Senator
Atchison's plan of controlling the Kansas cleo
ton, by means of votes Struggled from Mis-
souri,, he says:
We are not surprised at the result. The
spirit that madly evokes disunion, that the
American slave system may be extended and
perpetuated. will not hesitate to violate the
sanctity of the ballot, or commit perjury, to at
tain the purpose that the propagandists have
in view. Whatever temporary success they
may achieve will be tritling compared with the
check that they will meet, when Kansas pre-
sents herself, as is now probable, for admission
into the Union, with pro slavery constitution
The ground then assumed by the friends OF
freedom will be this, and this their language
-" Your constitution is not Republican it
does not provide for Republican form of 60
vernment it condemns human beings to life
of hopeless servitude; it permits the sale of hui
man flesh and blood nullifies the divine insti-
tuition of marriage; it disregards the natural
right of parents to control and govern their
children it gives legality to form of oppres-
sion that is more horrible, and more directly
subversive of all Republicanism than any ty-
ranny of which we have any knowledge, or OF
which history gives any accountW How such
Ian guage may be received. matters not. 1t is
sufficient for the North to do right the conse-
quences belong to Providence!
ANGLoSAxoN.-Three hundred years ago. the
Anglo Saxons numbered but two and half
millions of souls. It was a composite tribe.
formed of union of Saxon, Angle, Danish and
Norman blood. Their descendants now num-
Der forty millions more, or onc-sixth of the
eartu's surface 1t owns more shipping than
all other people. No tribe is so great and for
midable. The blood in Anglo Saxon veins
forms brains in Anglo-SaXon heads. Finer Or
CARNATIONS may exist-mOre vigorous never
can. There is a great tribe of these Anglo
Saxons in the bosom of America, separated from
the parent stock, which has grown to twenty
millions under the shade.
Our geographical position is eminently desir-
able. We extend from ocean to ocean, have
mighty rivers, majestic hills and vast and fruit
full valleys. No where else is there so great,
so productive powers in continent. Yet the
North is cold and stern, the climate severe,
burning in summer, in winter freezing.
They are not warlike these Anglo-Saxons,
but industrious, with immense power for ogan-
ization, and strong love for personal freedom.
In practical energy and common sense, which
does the head work of the world, the Saxon has
not and never had his equal. Infusion of TO
reign blood is o very important element in
forming theAnglo-Saxon character They came
here with ideas which could not be tolerated
at home. These ideas have grown into institu-
tions-love of personal freedom, love also of
natural laws. ..- ..,.-...
The democratic theory of government is the
most stable of all other forms. The basis OF our
government is in theory, the whole people.
There is solidarity between the government
and the whole people, while in monarchlcal
countries there is solidarity between the go
vernment and a small minority OF the people,
In 184S, the revolutionary storm shook every
government in Europe-here nothing rocked
Sit pyramid on its apex, and it requires
good deal of propping with bayonets, but on it's
basis it is not to be sustained by soldiery. The
storm passes over it unheeded-the earthquake
shakes. but not a stone falls down its slOping
sides.
Our revolutions are peaceful. In three
months we have seen old dynasties stricken
down, and powers passing into new hands. NO
revolution was ever so complete. The old par
ties have been driven out of sight: and almost
out of hearing, yet nothing was thrown at adj
ministrations, except ballots and paper Such
a change in Germany could be effected onlyb by
barricades, cannon balls and blood.-Ihe0d0re
Parker.
SUPREME CoURT-The Supreme Court of
Minnesota is now holding its regular term at
the capitol. The Court commenced on Mon
day. We understand there are but few cases
to be heard this term.
Ms- "Sir, you shall hear from me p said
fellow with a laundering voice and chimney
back frown, to an editor who had published
something he construed as too hard upon his
party "you shall hear from me !'-and he
shook his finger Significantly.
"That's ght,-dew," said Jonathan, bow
ing politely "write occasionally, and let us
know how you're getting along"
Gg- "Dear me how fluidly he docs talk! !"
exclaimed Mr. Darlington, recently, at q tenn
perance lecture. II am always rejoincd when
he mounts the nostrum. for his eloquence warns
me in every nerve and cartridge of my body
Verdgrese itself couldn't be more smooth than
his blessed tongue is"
MINING AT FA1RPIAY.-We learn that the
American Mining Company have at last re-
ceived their new pumps, and expect to get up
steam and resume operations by the first OF
January. Their confidence in ultimate sue
cess, with their increased resources, is undi-
minished. A considerable quantity of heavy
mineral has been taken from the lands near
Fairplay.-Platville american.
To MAKE TOUCH BEEF TENDER.-To those who
have worn down their teeth in masticating
poor old tough cow beef, we will say that car
donate of soda will be found remedy for the
evil. Cut your steaks the day before using in
to slices about two inches thick, rub over them
q small quantity of soda. wash off next morn
ing. cut it into suitable thickness, aud cook to
notion. The same process will answer for fowls,
legs of mutton. &c. Try it, all who love deli
cious, tender dish of meat.
The NEBRASKA SwNDLERs.-We do not be-
lieve there ever existed more desperate set of
Williams, than those now engaged in making
