We do not wish to ujure Judge Douglas
pecuniarly, and having understood that Sc
veral of his negroes have already been taken
to Kansas, we would willingly carry a sub
scrption paper round this city to purchase
their freedom, if he would only name his
price. lie has expressed his opinion that
the opening of Kansas to slavery would
double the price of all his slaves. We
would not be particular about The price, as
we think We could raise it.
1t is with such weapons as the above
shameless, unmitigatcd lies-that the oppo.
ncnts of Douglas, such as John Wentworth
hope to injure the democratic party.

KANSAS ELEcTIoN.--1he result Of the sec

shows about 3, 100 votes for Reed,r, being
some 700 more than were cast for Whitfield
by the slave state men, although mny votes
OF the latter were VIGOROUSLY cast by Mis-.
sourians. We also see published a letter
from Virginian, slave state man, in which
he says

tanned From the beginning, that the people
Of Kansas are right on the slavery question,
and il let alone, and the Nebraska law is al
lowed pcaceably to take its course, tlere is
no danger Of slavery being fastened IN tina,
territory. Missouri and Massachusetts pro.
pagandism have succeeded in raising much
unnecessary excitement, but it is folly to
suppose that they can affect the ultimate de.
ClslOh one way or the other W ith the I'M
mcnse immigration constantly pouring into

Society, or the marauders from Missouri will
be but drop in the. bucket compared to her

tutions permanently in their own way, and
no Missouri compromise, Nebraska bill, emf

Trust the capacity Of the people for selfgo-

we can always be sure they will do about

The Democratic Party.


The R,ppjlicon QqaytcrIy Rcrier, pub.
LEGATION recently commenced in New York,
and leaning, as its name indicates to the
side Of the isas, but aiming to be fair and
impartial in its general criticims, is cons
trained to pay the following just compliment
to the democratic party:
The Democratic party has performed a
long succession Of signal services to the coun-
try. II Sprang into existence in the midst
of a violent shock Of opinions, in regard to
fundamental principles. 1t boldly entered
the breach and rescued the Constitution
from the hands Of loose constructionist.,
and restored the written charter Of our lib
critics, at a moment Of peril, to the safe and
wholesome rule Of strict construction In
1872 il met, undiSmaycd the brunt of bat
tie, rolled back the waves Of invasion, and
from amidst the clouds OF war, proclaimed to
an admitting world, the freedom Of the seas.
Others besides Democrats fought we'll
Other names have been inscribed on glory 5
immortal tablets. Others besides Democrats
have received, as they have deserved, proud
rocompenSc for signal services performed
for the country. But if there be IN our
country any party, which can justly claim
that as party, they have upheld the star
Spanglcd banner with honor wherever it has
been uuiurlcd, aSsurcdly it i, the Democratic
party. Nor is this the only important SER
vice Of which it can boast. 1t is due to the
Democratic party that our country was saved
from the graSping control Of one Of the most

word--thc Bank Of the United States. And
the enumeration Of what the Democratic
party has done for the country, and for con.
stitutional liberty, might be carried through
an extended list 1t cannot be denied that
the cXigcncies which called the party into cx.
iStcnce, were such as to startle the friends Of
RepubIicanism. Arstocratc notions had
made great progress in high places, and the
time bad come when it was necessary that a
check should be intcrposcd ere it was too
late. Under the leadership Of Jefferson this
check came and arrested the tendency to-
wards consolidating ours into a strong gov
ernment.'
y year or two hence, if the same spirit Of
fairness pcrvadcs the Recier, it will also
enumcratc among the trumphs Of this dem
ocratic party, the yindcation of the prnci-
pie of popular sovereignty in the organiza-
