Ross, THE TEMPERANCE LECTURER.
Wherever this fanatical calumniator speaks
the worst of consequences result from such
meetings. We have noticed lately, in
several of our Missouri exchanges that his
course has been marked with his usual dis
regard Of truth, and violation of the rights
Of private individuals. We cannot look
upon that person as true temperance man,
who will encourage such person in lectur-
ing, when the bad results following such an
act is SO apparant to every one. Ross has
done the Temperance cause more injury
than the combined influence of all its oppo-
nents and we know Of nothing better cal
culated to impede the cause, than to encour-
age this fellow in going from town to town,
melting neighbor against neighbor, ,and rails
ing disturbances in communities heretofore
peacable and quiet. As well-wisher OF
the Temperance cause, we suggest that
Ross name be stricken off the list Of Tenn
perance Lecturers, as being unworthy to
receive support and encouragement from
an intelligent people.

would injure the Pro-Siavery interest
which we hold parnour to all others.
The Register does us willful and mali
eious injustice, when it accuses US and the
Kansas Legislature of "repudiating the
National Democracy" "as dangerous to
the Union" He knesr that he was crea-
ting false impression when he made the
charge. He quotes from set of resolu-
tions passed by the Legislature of Kansas
drawn up by Democrat, and the language
used, as quoted by him, is a garbled ex-
tract, and was part Of a resolution con-
demning the move made here by the Abo.
