ton a candidate identified with the repeal Of
the Missouri Compromise The infamy of that
nefar.ous transaction is thus acknowledged, the
proaigacy of the Administration is confessed,
and the Cincinnati Convention have recorded
their testimony that the objects Of the Repub'
lcan party are patriotic and just.
But while rcpudiating the actors in the re-
peal Of the Missouri Compromise, and the Ia
ter Outragcs in Kansas it must not be suppoS-
cd that it was from any sympathy for the cause
of Freedom. The Convention was more ultra
pro-slavery than any that have preceded it
The platform, though ambiguousy drawn, is a
declaration Of the favorite southern doctrine,
repudiating sQuatter sovereignty, and carrying
Slavery by virtue of the Constitution wherever
we shall acquire or possess territory
The friends Of Mr. BrcHANAN expect to de-
ccire the North into his support. The South
cares nothing for the position his northern adj
yocates may assume. They know the influence
they wed to control the action of any Presi-
dent elected under Snch circumstances. Hav-
ing first made the candidates give every asSur-
ance of fidelity to the cause of Slavery eXten-
son they are content to permit his Northern
supporters to deceive the public as they please.

CIRCULATE THE DOCUMENTS.

The Presidential contest, which may be said
to have already commenced, will be one of the
most exciting and important ever known in the
political history of the country Pennsylvania
is to be the great battle-ground Confident Of
success in every slave state the bordcr.ruffian
apologists will use the most extraordinary eX-
ertions to carry the State of Pennsylvania for
the candidate of the Slavery eXtensiOnists. 1t
will be necessary for the Friends of Freedom
and of Free White Labor to be active to ncu-
tralize the unscrupulous efforts which will be
made by the tools of slavery
Among the means which should be employ
ed is the wide dissemination of political Truths,
demonstrating the aggressons already made by
the Nulliters, and the designs which slavery
now entertains upon the Free Territory and
the Free Institutions of the country We shall
endcayor in this conflict to do all that lies in
our power to aid the cause Of Freedom, identi-
fed as it is with the prosperity of the country,
with the elevation of Labor, and as we firmly
believe with all the glorious promise of the fu-
turc to our Institutions We warn the friends
of Freedom in this Congressional District that
we shall be beset with the most desperate ef-
forts on the part of the sIavery-apologists-
with the most unfair and monStrous pcrvcrsions
of facts and arguments and with q denial Of
the true issues involved-and most unpara-
leled assumption of unwarranted positions for
the candidate of the party which has become
mere tool, as it is " the natural ally Of sla-
very" We shall have all manner of dodging,
evasion and shunling the true issues.
Wepropose to our friends and the friends Of
the Republican cause, that the circulation of
the Reporter be greatly increased, and to do
our part towards placing it in the hands of
voters, we have concluded to offer the follow
ing terms We will send the Reporter for
fire laoatds, commencing June 2lst aud ending
November 2Ist, at the following rates =
5 copies 90 cents per copy, $500
10 81 l-2 80
These prices will barely pay for the paper
upon which the Reporter is printed, and is
cheaper thaA any other county paper in Penn
syvania IS afforded
Names should be forwarded immediately
that we may know how many extra copies to
print of the issue of June DIST.

Mn CHAMPION AND THE DISMISSED CoHsULs.
1t is said that Mr.. Champion proceeded to
Europe in the steamer which sailed from Bos-
ton on Wednesday, accompanied by Consuls
Barclay, Rowcroft and Mathews. The To-
ronto GEobe states that "any idea that war
will grow out Of his dismissal can only be en-
tertained to be ridiculed" The Albion, the
British organ, published in New York, also
expresses the opinion that the dismissal of Mr.
Champion will not lead to any unfriendIy feel
ing between the United States and England.

THE DENrH OF KEATING.-The Imerican
Cch, an Irish paper, deyotes much space to
the killing Of Kcating by Mr. Herbert. Re
fcrring to the vote by which Mr.. Herbert was
shielded from investigation, the Celt says
Now, in relation to that division on Her
bcrt's case we have duty to perform, and
we shall not shrink from discharging it. That
duty is to announce, in unmistakable terms,
to the adopted citizens of Irish birth through
out the country, that the Democratic party in
Congress have shamefnlly deserted their duty,
deserted their own professions Of ilnpartiality
between different classes Of citizens and that
they have, as plainly as deeds can speak, de
clared the murder of a man Of Irish birth by
one of their own colleagues to be Z trifle Who'll
ly unworthy even Of inquiry. Is the Demo
cratic party mad, or is it only rotten, that it
should 50 belle itself2 With half dozen cx-
ccptionS, every man of the majority for Kea-
ting's murderer is professcd Democrat" y
What, then does it mean2 Or can it mean
anything but one thing-that an Irishman
born, however pcacabIc, Or loyal, is only fit to
be used by the Democratic party, and when
used, set up for target, and shot with inpu-
nifty This is what it means, ard to this mean
ing we shall hold the entire party
We hold Mr.. Pierce, Mr.. Douglas, and Mr.
Buchanan responsible for this conduct of their
confdents and supporters. They were all in
Washington it was for days the topic of the
town if their friends have taken sides against
the victim and against common jnsticc, they
are wholly above suspicion \ few days ago
the blood of Thomas Keating was on the hands
of but one Democrat it has spread since then
and it is now upon the souls Of the 20, who
refused all inquiry 1t is on the Democratic
party, as party, and accursed be he that
helps such party into power, until the blood
is lawfully purgcd away

A SUITABLE DEMocRATIc PLTFoRM.-The
New York HcraId of last weel, says, this Gin
cinnati Conference Of the nigger drivers, will,
of course, give us a high sounding platform,
full of windy distractions and unmeaning rub
bish, with which to gull and hoodwink the
honest ycomanry of the country whereas, if
the principles of this niger drivers Conven-
ton were truly expressed, they would be gi-
ven in seme such platform as the following, to
wit =
J. Ecsolred, That niggcrs, pistols, bowie
knives and bludgeOns are thefundamentalp rim
cples of the Democracy, as reconstructed un-
der the Administration of our warlike Frank
lin Pierce by our dear friends, the Southern
nigger drivers. y
,. Rcsolrcd, That the freedom of speech is
liable to abuses even in the United States Sc
nate, abuses which can only be corrected by
the application of gutta percha to the naked
head of the unoffending party as he sits in his
chain and that ia thus beating an Abolition
Senator we are rightceuSly vindcating the true
policy of the "unterrifcd Democracy"
3. Res0lred, That the killing of contempti-
BILE Irish waiter holding the position Of a mig
ger, for neglect of duty or impudence TO Il De
mocratic guest coming down to late break
fast, is a proper warning to the whole Irish
race that they can no longer expect to ride
rough shod over the democracy Of the Union.
4 Resolrcd, As the Constitution, as inter
prcted by our Southern teachers, the higher
drivers, has already established African sla-
very in all the Territories efthe United States,
that 'sqpatter sovereignty" is a humbug, that
General Cass is humbug considerably behind
the age, and that all abolition or free State
squatters should be expelled from Kansas, if
necessary, by fire and sword, &c, &c.
