Their would see the whole Kansas bathed in sea of

electric spark of liberty in the breasts of my Ameri
can brethren. l
But my friends it is to avoid such revulsion as
this to avert the nietion Of such an awful calamity
as the shedding of brothers blood in an internecine
war that think If necessary TO take the bold posi-
ton Republicans are taking TO show the south and
the world that we honest in our professions of
| freedom and boldly determined to carry them out.
Indeed it is by encouraging the desire for liberty in
the breasts of our citizens, that can expect the
keep union safely bound in the adamantinc bonds
of fraternal brotherhood The step is short indeed
between the institution of slavery and the annihila
ton of repubcanism 1t is difficult for man bred
up the unaccountable master of his fellow man to
look upon the basis of pure democracy with favor
If any man thinks differently let him travel south or
| in Europe Nay he need scarcely do ether he
need only read the doings of Missourians in Kansas
fully apprecating the idea that Kansas is American
| territory
do not blame the south alone for tlIis-the north
is equally to blame Had the north been true to its
instincts or had there been true democratic party
in existence, such laws as now disgrace statute
book had been impossible. tits an entire absence of
the principle by which democrats should be governed
that produces such state of things this 1t is
the sycophantic panderng of northern doughfaces'
to the menacing boastings of the worst of Americas
sons that we owe all our troubles in the west. In
short had we been true sons of liberty, worthy the
Fathers whose patrmony we are now enjoying, we
had been dsgraced by acts like these; and Eu-
ropes tyrants who shake with nervous dread of free
dom's sympathy with their down-trodden subjects at
the approach of onr stars could have pointed the
finger of scorn with such effect at the contiguous
stripes.
Some will no doubt call this an appeal to the pas
sions instead of to the understanding but how treat
the subject OF Slavery porentuous as it is OF trouble
in softer language, cannot tell.
An institution that encourages the growth of care
less of arstocrats supported by population of
demoralized negroes instead of healthy and indus
trious of working planters assisted by morality
of which may feel justly proud, and prepared by
the force of their innate energy to carry out dea
rest and most treasured Instincts developing to its
greatest extent natural love of liberty calls forth
strong language, especially from those whose great
est wish is to country really what she proles
ses to be, the g hope of the world"
But after all, these objections to the "Republican'
Party, we must know only put forth for the sake
of party interests and the 'Shan Democracy" that
started hem know full well the effect of thus opera
ting the principle SO dear to every true hearted
ctizen'The Union. And were it not TO lift the veil
and to expose the faacies of the Barsow party here
my time would have been but poorly occupied, but
there many who are SO busily engaged that they
have not, in Their opinion, time TO look into politics.
and allow themselves in consequence to begoverned
by the action OF their party. To such men. would
say, spare at least few moments, TO the action OF
your party and watch NARROWLY the gulf, the Bars
tow Democracy would LIT younto. Consider how
much material aid the frendstD of Barstow af-
ford give him. Friends, who having received your
lands through his Ubiquitous acts, Ivy the thousands
of acres at a mere nominal price can well afford
to offer brides in his behalf Consider that the man
of all Others who ought to administer to the wants
and well being of all, with the most rigid regard TO
equty-who ought 10 have no friends but the State,
! is the man on whom the School land and Lunatic
! Asylum frauds hang conspicuous-when you see
your Governor giving away your money! in contracts
of which every honest must feel ashamed to his
own particular friends; using all his power TO ward
off competition--you cannot wonder at the effort
made to Ie elect li:In.
We cannot be surprised flat the press Of our State
should, in many instances, stick by him; rather
shonld we be surprised, to many, honestly and
openly, condomning him. Were plen what we would
wish them to be, we would expect all, to turn from
him and his subordnates with disgust But fr.il hui
manity is always looking to self interest hence we
cannot wonder that many should still be found
clingng to the wrctched clique that are so lost TO
every sense of shame. ... D..
| But you, my friends, and brother citizens; who
have TO work so hard to pay the piper, shall be
surprised to find still afraid to leave the wreck of
Democracy SO truly rersonifed, by
"Bnrstow and the Balance"
| We are told all kinds OF things of Bashford; yet,
he is apparently by their showing, an honest man;
but, i'll calculated Bashford may appear, to occu-
ply the post of Governor; on, how much the Republ
cans might have made up teir minds to rob the
State you have one great surety to comfort you
by the change your position cannot be made worse,
it may be improved
The day is close at hand, when you win be called
upon TO decide between the Barstow Democracy, and
the Republicanism of Bashiord, supported as lie is
by men taken from among the people, and devoted
to the young, and-in opposition 10 wrong govern
Notwithstanding and lovely Wisconsin.
If we are only true to ourselves, and best
interests as a unit in the federal union the result is
sure and Barstow will retire into private c from
which we must ever dcplore hi, having been called.
