The SUGGESTION.

In speaking Of the labors ofthe Democratic
marty, now embarked in schemes of slavery ex.
tension and corruption, to nominate successor
10 the present servile Executive, the Missouri
Democrat remarks:
When the imperial purple Of Rome was being
transferred by her hireling soldiery from one
imbecile hand to another perhaps more imbecile
and tyranncal--the far distant provinces OF the
empire were often the prey Of wars and insur-
rccticns resulting In the loss OF her fairest terri
tories. At this moment when the pr@torlan
guard of office holders and merccnary politicians
are engaged at Cincinnati in the attempt to
transfer the chief magistracy OF this Union from
the feeble and foolish incumbent. to the should
ers of Douglas, man whose only recommen-
dation ia tho greater wickedness Of his heart
the same scenes are being enacted in our dis
tant territories, which as clearly as the rule OF
her chief magistracy marked the decay Of the
Roman empire. There is at thiS time in Kansas
civil strife existing-a striie SURPRISING in bit
terness the wars Of hereditary enemies, and
which will not only desolate the Territory, and
stain its virgin soil with the blood of its citizens
but will necessarily extend throughout the entire
land, and array the country in hostile camps
The strife has already commenced to extend

From the Chicago Democrat
Enthusiastic Demonstration of the
Germans In 3sOnOr Of Gov. koerner.


Lieut. Gov. Koerner arrived in our city, and
took rooms at the fremont House, on Wcdnes-
day evening, the German Sangerbund accompan-
led BY at least one thousand of their countrymen
gave him magnificent serenade. He appeared
upon the balcony and was received with tre-
mendous cheers. After returning thanks for the
compliment, he spoke upon political topics
about half an hour in German, and the same
length of time in English. 3a Bs.
He announced himself as an Old Line Demo-
crat-one who had not changed his principles
bui one who stood where he ever had done -
He had no idea Of being anything but an Old
Line Democrat, or to advocate any other princi-
Piles than those which have aways been held by
the Democracy of the country.
{ He went into an argument to show that oppo-
sition TO slavery extension was an old landmark
of the Democracy-reared by Jefferson and sus-
tanned by jackson.
Gov X. denounced Know Nothingism and
Maine Lawism, but coniended they had nothing
to do with the present contest They were side
issues attempted to be drawn in by designing
men, to blind the people to the real-the absorb
ing issue Of slavery extension. He warned his
coantrymen not to be deceived by this trick of
the trickstrs. There were Maine Law men and
Know Nothings in both parties-as many among
the Nebraskaites as with the friends OF freedom.
But this is matter not invoived-slavery ex-
tension is the great question before the country.
He counselled union and harmony of action
concentration of effort in one direction. 1t was
q beautiful fgure-that of the German States.
weak and distracted from divisions-that he
introduced TO show the necessity of eoncen.
trated action in battling the foes of human free
dom.
Gov K. paid most handsome compliment to
Bissel and Hoffman, and said they would sweep
the South Ikea whirlwind.
He concluded, and tremendous cheers again
rent the Air from the assembled thousands. This
speech viii have good effect. Gov. koerner
would do the cause great service By speaking in
all the Northern States
Mr.. Hoffman was called out. and made some
brief and stirring remarks.

B We notice that the st. Louis Republican
has revamped and sent out by telegraph, its
cock-and-bull story about the murder of eight
pro.slavery men. 1t now has them cut up into
mince-meat. The Republican is most efficient in
doing the dirty work of the ruffians--work that
it would have scorned to do in the lifetime of
the lamented Chambers.
The tactics now is to lie down the free State
men OF Kansas abroad, and shoot them down at
home. We notice that the few pcnsoned slav-
cry papers at the North are bosy engaged
at the former business, while their co-adjutors
are at work with the revolver and rife in Kan
gas. ,

Edward Everett on the Gutrages In
Kansas.


Kansas.
The refusal of Mr.. Everett to take part in the
meeting at Boston, called to express indignation
at the assault on Mr.. Sumner, has been the topic
of considerable remark. Mr.. E., however, puts
himself right before the coun ry in the mat
ter. On the conclusion of his address on WASH
ington, delivered at Taunton, on the I'd inst, he
said
"But with the satisfaction which feel in ad-
dressing you at this time, are mingled profound
anxiety, grief and sadness, which strive in vain
to suppress, and which overwhelm me at the
thought of the occurrences of the past week, and
serious apprehension forces itself upon my mind
| that events even now, in train with an impulse
| too mighty to be resisted, will cause our be-
| loved country to shed tears Of blood through
| all her borders for generations yet to come;
civil war; with all its horrid train of pillage, fire
| and slaughter, carried on without the slightest
provoca.ion against the infant settlements of our
brethren on the frontiers of the Union. The
worse than civil war raging months unrebuked
at the Capitol has, at length, with a lawiess vio-
| lence to which know no parallel in the an
| nails of q constitutional Government, stained the
floor of the Senate Chamber with the blood of a
defenceless man, and he Senator from Massa-
chusetts! Oh! my good friends, these are events
| which, for the good name peace and safety OF
our country, were we'll worth all the gold Of Cal
| fornia to blot from our records. They sicken
the heart of the patriot, of the good citizen and
of the Christian They awaken sad gloomy
doubt whether the sacrifices and sufferings OF
our fathers for the sake of higher, purer, and
freer civilization OH this Western Continent than
the world has yet seen, has not been in vain.
For myself they fill me with sorrow too deep for
tears. am not ashamed Of my weakness, for
sorrow, not for myself my few remaining
years are running too rapidly to close to allow
me to attach Importance to anything this side Of
the grave, which concerns me individually; but
sorrow beyond the power of words to express
for the objects of affection which leave behind
for children and my country. God is witness
that, if by laying down my life, this hour,
could undo what has been done within the last
two years, beginning with the disastrous repeal
Of the Missouri Compromise, would willingly
make the sacrifice Did not think there was
healing charm in the name of Washington
that the veneration of his characters almost the
only remaining kindly sentiment that peryades

that character, there is a spirit of wisdom tt
