Ito sustain Is u aotn position" This
squirming, dodging and backing water On
the ''main ISSUE can't cover up the question
lin controversy. We defy the Argus to TIE
proof that Gen. w. ever laid down any
other platform. in any Of his public address
ses, than what we have reportedsof his po-
sition. They must do this or acknowledge
they have misrepresented US. That Gen.
W. was supported as the pro-slavery candi-
date is not the questionoin issue, at least we
have made no such issue. And the Argus
need not expect toidrive US from our posi-
ton in this controversy, by quibbling. and
double-dealing. The game is understood.
It is to lessen the character and influence Of
our paper, it makes no odds at what sacri-
fee, so certain ones win. But an intelligent
public will never lend their aid to such an
unholy purpose, but finding the Herald en-
gagged in a just cause will sustain u.s.,
This is not a controversy ofour choosing
but one that has been forced upon US by the
Platte Argus. soW We have cast our lot with
the people of Kansas Territory, and have
invested our means in this paper to make a
living and shall ever aim to make it worthy
q liberal patronage. When our paper is
attacked and misrepresented, We will detsnd
it-come from what quarter itmay---wheth-
er from profsssed friend or an open foe.

says: ~
"We learn from the Manch ester Mirror
that New Hampshire man by the name
of Lucien Aver, of Plaistow, in that State
and more recently President of 'sa wildcat
bank in Kansas, whose bills he had been
getting rid of at rapid rate in New York
and Boston, to persons about starting fol
Kansas, was recently arrested at Plaistow
to which place he had lately returned with
his wife, on an old charge of arson, fol

AUsrR1A.--Austria has joined the Allies
according to the following Telegraphic ac.
count:
A treaty of alliance between Austria
France and England was signed at Vienna
binding, it is supposed, Austria to declare
war against Russia within one month, and
guaranteeing her to support her against in
vasion and insurrection. Austria calls on
the Germanic States to support her with
federal troops, but Russian influences are
at work in opposition to her.
Commercial letters assert that Austria
entered into the treaty unwillingly, but
consented to it in preference to breaking
entirely with the Western Powers
Heretofore it has been considered that
Austria leaned to the side of the Car,
hence the above announcement strikes ev-
cry one with astonishment. And though
Austria, has heretofore induced the Allies
to believe she would join them, yet when the
time for action came it was found that hopes
were excited only to be disappointed.
The end of the Eastern war is not yet
and time alone will determine its results.
