By the following extracts from the
last Messenger, it will be seen that
there is a difference in the numbers
given by the Jack and his cotempora-
ries OF the Legion Herald, in regard
to The number present at the late Mass
Convention Of the Democracy of Vim.
ton. We know both statements to be
false; and as there is lie out between
you, just saddle it on which you please,
the John horses or the Jack.
How Jack writhes because the De.
mocracy are aroused and determined
10 preserve the balot-box for White
mems suffrage instead OF Negroes. -
Why don't Jack come up to the mark
and say how long he wants a foreign
Niger here before he is to have, the
right to vote? Fix up your platform,
and let US know how long buck mig
Iger must have resided in the State,
county, and township, before he ca!I
vote. But hear the thing bray:
THE Democracy Of Vintou county,
after great deal Of bloViatiig and gas,
induced few of their brethren to gath
er themselves together in mass meeting.
This Democratic "msss" consisted Of
about one hundred persons who patio
pated, and the affair is represented a;
something Of failure. The only mo-
table thiag We disco, er about il, is the
adoption Of the 9Th Of January Locofoco
platform, as the sentiments Of VintOn
county LOcofocos."
The above shows clearly 10 what
depths OF baseness the Jack has at
Itained; and the following shows him
up as one Of the most ignorant creatures
in the State. What a pity that SELF
conceited great man, who holds him
self up as light, should be so ignor-
ant or knayish as to attempt to palm il
off on the people for fact, that the
late Congress oi the United States has
established slavery in the Kansas Ter
rilory. Such bareiaced lies, or con.
sumate ignorance, should be apprecia-
ted in Athens OF elsewhere.
1.-The history Of the Nebraska swindle
looks very much like ''using all powers
clearly gwen by the terms Of the nation
al compact to prevent its increase, TO
mitigate, and finally to eradicate the
evil of slavery" Perhaps the "terms
Of the national compact" would not per
nit these men 10 oppose and gote against
the repeal of the Missouri Compromise
but on The other hand made i, "cIearly"
their duty TO extend and perpetuate
what they acknowledge TO be an evil and
Vne which they profess 10 depIore
Base hypocrisy! Oar private opinion
is, thatit requires very hard cheek 10
adopt resolution Of that character,
while at the same time they endorse and
support grand sheme by which slave.

vent the increase and eradicate the evil
OF slavery" with a vengeance a? oh,
shame shame !"
Will this modern disciple OF DAM.
PHooL show us where "slavery is fas.
tened upon territory long ago e,dica-
ted BY law to ireedom?" Will you
give US the number OF slaves in Ne.
braska or Kansas?

it is impossible TO answer these bare.
