and vociferation. Take the following state
ment from the Union Of Saturday Last to wit !:
"7As mon eAo opposed the .f.gitive-slaUs lav
and the Nebraska bill are the men who perfected
the Know-Nothing organization, and who are now
welding It's secret power, In the confident belief
that they win yet be able 70 overthrow the great
National Democratic party" &c.
Indeedl Why, the very Washington Union
in which this present sentence is found, itself
opposed the repeal Of the Missouri Compro-
mise portion Of the Nebraska bill That very
paper supports General Millson, Of Virginia,
for Congress, who both spoke and voted against
the Nebraska bill
That same paper eulogizes the Hon. George
w. Jones, of Tennessee, who had prepared q
speech to deliver against the Nebraska bill,
and was to have led off against it--but did
mott And that same paper hates Atchison
and Hunter and others who favored the Ne
braska bill To this very day, Col Forney
not only has not sustained, and soiH not sus-
tain Judge Atchison, and the Missourians, in
their contest with Governor Reeder and the
abolitionists, as to the point, whether Kansas
shall be free or slave territory but we have
good reasons for the belief, that both Forney
and Pierce are privately aiding and assisting
Governor Reeder to make Kansas free State |!
To this point zoe incite tho attention Of tho
South, as the signs in this direction are omin-
Gus!
It is well known, that we do not, as . party,
mix ourselves up with the different questions
Of public policy--with banks, tariffs, temper
ance, or slavery. But Forney and his foreign
allies do,--they profess to do it,-they claim
credit and confidence from the South, for os-
tentatiously meddling with questions, growing
out Of the passage Of the Kansas. Nebraska bill,
and they charge that the American party
desires the repeal Of that bill, and holds out
the deceptous pledge to the South, that the
administration viii protect the South and her
interests Why then do not the Boston Post,
the Pennsylvania, the Union, and General
Pierce give some practical proof of their real
sympathy with the South, in its efforts to save
Kansas to the Southa
{" We hope zoe don't intrude," but we have
some pertinent questions to PROFOUND, which
if truthfully responded to, will present interest
ing facts to the southern public, in relation to
Kansas. Is not Governor Reeder the intimate
personal friend Of Col ForneyS Was he sent
out to Kansas, to act impartially between the
North and the South in their rivalry for the su-
premacy in Kansasa Did,he not appoint Abo-
litionists, as judges of the election of delegate
to Congresss Did he not accompany the Abo-
lition candidate for Congress to all his appoint
mentsp Did he not attempt by his presence
and influence, to promote the election Of the
Abolition candidate to CongressP Did he not
refuse the certificate of election to Mr.. Whit
ieldi Did he give the certificate Of election
to Mr.. Whitfield till after Mr.. Whitfield made
it a personal matter, and demanded the certi-
ficatef
We wish these questions promptly answered
by the Washington Union, and when answered,
we shall push our inquiries far enough, perhaps,
to show the people of Virginia, that in refer
ence to the pretensions Of Forney and Pierce,
as friends Of the South, "au Is not gold that
glitters"
The American party" Is accused Of desir-
ing repeal Of the Kansas Nebraska bill,
and this accucation has been made and re.
peated by the presses of the foreign party, =
NTH pisso to affect the Virginia elections,
we therefore deny that our party has any such
desire and we mean TO retaliate upon our
calumniators, and to open the eyes Of the
whole South, to the actual workings Of Forney-
ism in Kansas. The men who are bearing
false testimony against our party, are the very
men who are untrastieorthy upon the very
subject Of their accusations
We warn the South 10 see to 10, that they
are not hoodwinked by such professions Of
fealty, as daily issue from press, whose
main conductor has been scheming for months
past, TO shut out slavery from territory, which
was opened to the Sonth by the Kansas and
Nebraska bill. The Forneyites who have taken
the South under their especial charge, have
assumed their labors for the sole purpose Of re-
tanning place, power, and plumber, and they
would openly join the anti-slavery or liberty
party" at an hours notice II success could b
insured thereby, to their selfish schemes
| II was hatred towards Messrs Atchison
Hunter, and that class Of Democrats, who start
ed the Washington Sentinel and furnished i
with patronage, that induced Col Forney to
appoint Mr.. Reeder his bosom friend, from
Pennsylvania, as Governor OF Kansas and tc
instruct him to defeat the shareholders, If pos.
sible, by uniting his efforts with those Of the
abolitionists; and faithfully did Gov. Reedel
work to carry out his instructions
Those Mlssoufians, who reside on the bord
crs Of Kansas, have no more confidence in Col
Forney's Kansas Governor, than they have in
those other anti-slavery men, who were sen
to Kansas from New England.
Hatred of Atchison, Hunter, and other poll
ticians Of their class, was however mingled
with policy, on the part Of Forney and Pierce
they believing, that IL the anti-slavery mer
should defeat the Missourians and other South
erners in Kansas, 1t would greatly benefit thi
dynasty at the North in the contest Of 1856
