Inf,mous FaIsebood and attempt at De.
ceptloh---t:ov. sllannon's speeeh.

ceptiOh---Goy. Shannon's tpecch.
The Statesman, and the advocates and
apologists of the Slave Democracy, Gre
making q desperate effort to deceive and
cheat the people about the speeches OF
Shannon since his arrival at the far West.
But every intelligent man knows that these
efforts are base fraads, and are knoun 10 De
such by the StGtesmaB, and those who are
utLering them.
We affirm that Gov. Shannon did de-
clare himself in favor Of slavery in Kansas.
The proof Of II is perfectly overwhelming.
The speech quoted by the Statesman i
not the one OF all, wherein he made this
declaration.
This speech. here quoted, was made on
the Sd Of Sept, at the Shawnee Mission,
in Kansas territory. The speech which
was reported in the st. Louis Democrat
aud copied by US few days since, wa,
made by him at Westport, in Missouri
and within mile of the Kansas line, on
the 31st of August, four days before he
made the speech which is copied in tn,
Statesman. The Westport Telegraph alsc
reported the Governor as saying that h
was in favor of slavery in Kansas.
We have entire confidencein in the reporte
of the Missouri Democrat, who is u gen
tleman Of intelligence. well known anc
much respected in Western Missouri. N,
one is authorized TO pronounce his state
ment falsehood, except Gov. Shannon
and those who heard him. They have no
done so. and wiH not. The fact that Il
did not utter thes same sentiment so strongl
in another speech, four days afterward,
no evidence that he did not so declare q
Westport. This attempt to escape tn
crushing effects Of his course will not sue
} ceed. It's exposure has been too earl
and too complete. S. Journal.

Every body knows that for years past the Tenn
perance have had the field of discussion to them
selves. Some-nay many, and they be true and
reliable supports of the cause, while practising Tenn
perance nay, abstinence themselves and using their
influence to bring others to do likewise condu-
Give to their own happiness and the good of the
community, have been willing to advocate Temper
anCe in temperate manner, 10 act good men
CONSCIOUS of being engaged in good cause. On the
other hand the paid tinerants of the cause like Philip
s. White and others have been intolerant and de-
nunciatory adopting tone Of abuse neither in accor
dance with the doctrines of Christianity nor the spirit
of Temperance ;-mpatient of contradiction, and
meeting opposition with abuse rather than argument
At last a direct, avowed anti abstinence Society
has been organized in opposition to prohibtory leg
sIation and paper, the "Daily News" started its
organ This paperis edited with considerable ability
and contains among other things, articles setting forth
the evils of totalabstinence. 1t says that if thu
drunkards have red noses, the abstinence men art
sallow, caiavenes, consumptive, dyspeptic, bad
shaped men, and that the reason why females are
more cCnsumptive than males, is because they arr
afraid of mostenng their clay.
What next is to appear we don't know but we d
know that every excitement produces its reaction
and that this reaction appears to have commence
against the Maine Law.

AS our readers will remember, we took occasion, a

some of the citizens of the border counties of Mis-

Governor Reeder We still deprecate the course OF
those who, we FEEL acted illegally and improperly
in that matter. We feel. We have always felt
that any such line of conduct must eventually prove
injurious to the it is ostensibly designed to pro-
mote But the full certainty of these facts does not
furnish any conclusive argument in favor of Reeders
subsequent course Reeder has been driven out
illegally, we believe. plain, sensible man would
have said that as an United States officer, resisted in
his official duty he should have laid the matter
before his official superors for their approval dis
approval of his course and conduct, and awaited the
result with decency and decorum, certain of being
sustained if right, and willing TO be censured i

| Instead of this modest and becoming course We
notice, by Geographic despatch IN the Baltimore
Sun, that on Monday, the goth ult., Reeder had {
grand ovation on his own dunghiIl, at Eason, where
he was welcomed in fusome address by J. M. Por

harangne. If he had wrongs an officer, he shoulC
have looked to his government for redress; If he tel
