He says, tho perfdious art'Ras "perpe-
trated by men with W hom the Journal man
Is working shoulder to shoulder" Now
that is only ah assertion Of his being with
out foundation wholly untrue. He knows
that the journal has from the FIRST contend
ed for freedom in Kansas, and declared that
The repeal Of the Missouri Compromise was
the virtual admission of slavery 10 that ter-
ritory. On the contrary the Democrat said
"there was no danger Of slavery ever be-
ing established there. It labored might
and main for Douglas, Richardson, Atchi-
son, and the whole crew of traitors, from
FIRST to last, and would tomorrow vote for
either one or all of them. in opposition 10
the purest patriot living. Who believes
that he is indignant at the result of the
Kansas election? No one. He tries to
make the misinformed believe that what
he says is gospel truth. Intelligent voters
cannot be gammoned with such trash
And further he says, ''the same secret
body Of men TX. N!'sl with whom he [the
editor Of the Journal is connected have
their lodges planted AL over the State of
Missouri and poured their men and means
by thousands into Kansas before the day of
election. Strange that the editor should
be indignant at the triumph Of his own prin-
ciples." This is another falsehood. We
have no association or connection IN any
way, shape or manner, neither do we have
q single sympathy in common with Missou-
ri Slaveocracy. We have never ceased to
declare against them as the upholders of the
cursed system Of slavery. We do not in
the least doubt that societies were formed
in Missouri, and many thousands Of dollars
freely expended that the institution of sla-
very might be triumphant But who were
they formed by? Gen. Atchison, and none
other. Is Atchison, the great leader Of Lo-
cofccoism in Missouri, Know Nothing p

sertiOn? Most certainly it does. The out
rage perpetrated upon the actual citizens oI
Kansas, was done through the influence OIL
this man and the money SO lavishly poured
into his lap by shareholders. He marched
his armed minions in by hundreds, and
boastingly said if he chad not brought
enough, just let him know and he would
bring 5000 more; thathe had brought then
over two hundred miles to vote, and tha
they should vote, or they would kill eVery
man in the territory" a
All this the editor of the Demoera
knows to be true. He knows also that The
Know Nothing party in Ohio are anti-sla
very men, every one Of them. He knows
also that Atchison is one of his own party
and that BY his rascality and high-bandet
perfdy the holders, at the point of th,
pistol and Bowie-knives, drove freemen, cit
