More Reaction

If the late outrages in Kansas have
been instrumental in producing a reac-
ton against slavery, the conduct of the
Pierce administration has been also In
s%trumentalin producinga reaction against
the Democratic party. Never before was
any administration so universally des-
pissed /; never before was any party doom
ed 10 a more hopeless defeat. Even the
most steadfast supporters of the Nebras-
ka Bill are becoming disguised /; and
what is still more ominous, they take no
pains to conceal their feelings.
Hon. George w. Peck. of Michigan,
editor of the Lansing State Journal, who
was the only Nebraska man elected 10
Congress from his state in 1854, and who
was elected on that issue, can stand
Pierce Democracy no longer. He speaks
like a man and it is evident that when
a state organ of the Democratic party
makes preparations to repudiate the ad-
ministration, there must be a general de-
lection. In one year from this time we
do not believe that Mr., Pierce will have
a dozen earnest supporters in the whole
North. The following is an extract from
an article in Mr.. Peck 81 paper:
At present it is of no use to conceal
the fact that the honest and intelligent
masses OF the Democracy have but little
confidence in the good faith OF the ad-
ministration in regard to this Kansas
business. As yet, they have no very
c~onclus We evidence that the adminstIs-
ton is in earnest in its advocacy of the
popular sovereignty doctrine. In vain
do we look to Kansas for any genuine ex
empliicaIion of that sacred principle
The election Of the first delegate to Con
gress was ID fraud, the admins ration was
mum-the election of the first Leg;sla-
ture was a fraud-Reeder, who repudia-
ted it, is removed. The principle OF the
Nebraska bill has been VIGOROUSLY viola
ted-from beginning to end it has beer
shametully and high handedly outraged
the administration in the meantime,
for aught that appears, have devoted
their entire attention to ferreting out the
speculations of territorial officers. Ii
our own simple heartness, we supposed
that the people of Kansas were to settle
their own atfairs-but when? 1t is no
about time they commenced.

of the family, he came in and took the

The family whose premises were so n
tremendously occupied, being aware of
the useful and harmless nature of their
visitor, and being curious to learn its
habits, allowed it to remain. Thus the
toad carried on the wal against the flies
until autumn, when they, having become
greatly reduced in numbers, and i belnG

The Cholera and Mutiny at Fort Riley.


The St. Louis Republican is allowed
to make extracts from a private letter,
dated at Fort Riley, on the 18th inst.
The writer of the letter was Mr.. j. D..
Sawyer, Superintendent of the erection
of government buildings at Fort Riley.
When there had been one or two deaths
from cholera per dav for ten days, a pam
ic began to be manifest among the SOL
dlers and laborers. When Major Ogden
was taken sick, Mr.. Sawy er triedto con-
ceal the fact from the men, but be could
no succeed, and, in his W language:
When they found out that the Major
was dying, and that there was in the
house seven persons dead and dying,
they lost all restraint, and acted like de.
mons. They broke into the Suffers
stoIe, and carried out whisky and LIQUOR
by the bucket full. They broke into the
hospital and Commissary's store, and
threatened TO take the money chest if
they were not payed. There was but a
limited lumber of soldiers here, and they
had been moved in wagons the night be-
fore. in the midst of all this dreadful
panic.
l was, then left alone, with FIVE hun
dTed men stricken and maddened with
whisky. AT this time, one of the men
stabbed another and cut his bowels open.
There was nothing left for me TO do but
10 save the Post and the property Of the
United States. took command, and did
all In my power, by promises and threats,
to quiet them, until l could make arrange
ments TO get aims and ammunition.
This | did as quickly as possible, and
then | let the men know l would shoot
the first man that misbehaved. That
night L placed guard, armed with rifles
and SIX shooters, and as they made up
their minds | was in earnest, l had no
further trouble with them. l kept a
guard always mounted. When you re-
member that during this day eighteen
died, and others were taken down sick,
and that the Post was deserted, you can
form some-estimate of the awful scene.
The panic has been so great that it is
impossible to find out how many have
died-but it is over fifty, that is one out
of every ten persons here. If | were tC
/ write all night, it would be impossible tc
tell all | have had to do. The sick could
f not be attended to nor the dead buried
There is one fact which l would wish tC
put on record the Americans all die
their duty when asked, and they had nj
5 part in the depredations which were com
mitted. The carpenters were my mair

The Democratic Mass Nottingham
news and MedilIs Speeches.

The announcement that the Governor
and David Tod would speak OF the 9Th,
drew together a room-fuii of men of all
parties at Empire Hall, and Republicans
as well as the Administration partizans
were curious to see how such ''great
guns would meet the issues of the day.
Mr.. Tod did not make his appearance.
His absence was predicted by many,
and his name was unquestionably used
for "buncombe."
The speeches in the afternoon, COM
menced with one from Judge Ranney,
whose official position forces him to face
the music whether he will or no, and
opened the game of dodge, which was
kept up to the closing sentence of the
last speaker. The Judges speech was
uphill work. He regretted, land we do
not doubt, sincerely, that he had not
t. meet the old Wing party, upon the
questions of Tariffs and United State
Bank. Upon those questions he could
be eloquent ''from morn till dewy eve, -
but now he vas plainly at a loss for mat
ter to make a speech of. He repeated
the attempt at wit, which we heard from
him last year, in Gaskill Hall, in which
he wonders whether his opponents are
called, 'Free Sellers, Independent Dem
ocrats, Free Democrats or Democrat
Frees" and we sincerely hope the sham
Democracy may find some consolation
in their terrible defeats, in calling names
and making faces at their ~conquerors,
after the example set by the Honorable
Judge. In his whole speech, the Presi-
dent, the Administration, the Kansas
question, and the principles laid down in
the Republican platform, wsre not once
mentioned, and the only a~llusion which
could be twisted into reference to any of
them, was the profound remark, that 'if
q deacon becomes a hereto, there is no
necessity for all the members to turn
themselves out Of the church !"
The fact is, the Judge feels himself in
afalse position ; his convictions are all
in favor of the principles of the Republi-
can party, and every body regarded his
speech, as the weak effort of an advocate
pleading in support of a cause which
he knows cannot be defended. From
beginning to end, it did not manifest one
spark of earnestness or of candid willing.
ness to face the real issues between the
corrupt Pierce Administration, and the
outraged people.
The Governors speech, was of course
intended to be the event of the day ; but
for one who would be so great a man, it
was a prodigiOusly little effort. Know
Nothingism was a~vowedly The beginning
and the end of his speech, but he felt
obliged to besiow some passing notice
upon two other matters, viz taxation
and slavery extension. His mode of
disposing of them was as small a speci-

any other political organization, are in
vited to return, to come back 10 the old

the spirit of charity, of federation and Of
