THE Issue FAIRLY MADG.-Gen. White
field has received the nomination of Dele
gate for Congress from Kansas-in the ac-
ceptance of which he employs the following
terms:
1 accept the nomination, gentlemen. I
am, sirs, ready to make the battle for you.-
l am ready to enter this contest; to enter it
sir and defend those principles, sir, that
advocated in this territory, sir, more than
two years ago. without any egotisn, per-
init me to inform you, that made the first
pro-s1avery speech in the territory of Kan
sas; and perhaps sirs, there is no man in the
territory of Kansas that feels more interest
in establishing slavery in this territory per-
manently than do; and believe me, sirs,
that nothing shall be left undone on my part
to secure a triumph for that party whose OBJ
ject is to plant southern institutions in Kan
sas. When announced as candidate on a
previous occasion, 1 asked for a platform to
be made for me, and would have done so
now, if 1 had any opportunity. Circumstan-
ces and times have changed some since my
last election :.
If you place uIon me the responsibility of
the formation of platform gentlemen, YOU
may rest assured that the enemy will be met
on the square-with only two issues -"sIa-
very" and "no slavery" and that l will al
low no other thing whatever to distract the
settlement of this question. 1 cannot, how
ever, denounce every man from the North as
an abolitionist. -. ......,. ,r...
We can recognize but two parties in the
territory-the pro-slayery and the anti-sla-
very parties. If the citizens of Kansas want
to live in this community in peace and feel at
home, they must become pro-slavery men;
but if they want to live with gangs of thieves
and robbers they must go with the abolition
party. There can be no third party-no
more than two issues-slavery and no sIa-
very-in Kansas territory. ..- z.....-
This is outspoken. 1t makes the issue
fairly, boldly, openly. Gen. Whitefeld is
just the kind of enemy whom the friends OF
freedom desire to meet. He stands upon
his own merits. Z. Ylta
MAINE ELECTION. returns are near
[ ly all in from this State, and the Anti-Ne-
braska majority for Morrill, and Reed figure
up larger than af first stated. Though Wells,
the democratic candidate, everywhere said
he was opposed to tire Nebraska bill and
would have voted against it, yet he is in a
minority of 13, ,756 votes! Ten 10 fifteen thou
sand Anti-Nebraska majority in Vermont,
and fourteen thousand in Maine! That will do
this fall for New England. os; The anti-lipuor
law party are largely in the majority in the
Legislature, and as that was enc of the prin-
| Icipal issues, Wells may be elected Governor
by the Legislature. .AG Galeno Ado.! 'sr so
