Editor Times: Well. my dear sir,--a view fro
the Capitol Of the Nation will inform you how the
battle goes. You may rest assured that 1t goes
bravely on and about right. notwithstanding the
peoples money has been squandercd for the adj
vancement of party ends by those in power. who
wero placed there for the purpose Of administer
ing just and equal government among tho whole
people, still the eyes of the masses arc not fully
blinded, nor their arms wholly palsied---they SEQ
clearer and grow stronger day by day. Let the
" secret service" money 90 out by the hundred
thousand, TO build up the ramparts Of party, to
suppress the inherent and iualienable rights Of
freedom in new States springing into being, and
to bind with CALLING chains OF slavery the limbs
Of white aud black Are the rights OF the entire
nation to be sacrificed merely to build up system
| of ARIsrOcRAcr among us, and that too, under the
guise of Democracy"? The people have not
yet consented to any such arrangement; but in
"a few days" We shall discover that they have
made entirely "different arrangements"
''The price of Liberty is Eternal Vigilance;
and woe to the man and the party who place her
iu jeopardy now, for the day cometh that shall
burn as an oven, and they shall be- utterly con-
sumed, both root and branch. The whole Nation
appears uprising to vindcate the wrongs of bleed
ing Kansas. Good and true men in all portions
of our land hail as fellows of the "National
Vigilance Committee" who have sworn upon the
Altar of Justice and Right, that this tide Of evil
shall be stayed, shall be rolled back whence it
came. Knowing their rights, they dare and will
maintain them at every hazard.
Because the great majority Of the American
people from every land and nation, will not bow
down to the worship Of Negro Mammon, which
| the slave breeders, slave traders, and slave
| preachers have erected upon platform as the
political god OF America, worthy the supreme
alteration and sacrifice of frecmcn-are they to be
driven by bludgeon, gun and knife to give up their
priceless inheritance, their birthrig of "berty
for themselves and their posterty"? But the hour
cometh, and now is, when all this shall be changed
| and old things pass away, and all things become
| new; when new heavens and new earth shall ap-
pear, wherein dwelleth Liberty. Gladness shall
sit upon the faces of all those who love her ap-
pearing. Like young FREMONT, on highest peak
Of Rocky Mount, when he unfurled the STAR ecked
banner to float mid 0ceans,-her motto shall be,
sExcELsIoR." Freedom and Safety to every cit
izen Of America, shall be maintained an home as
we'll as abroad, as the paramount doctrine Of the
age.
that of the Black Democracy. Its wanton stu
pidity, as we'll as its fendish cunning, causes it
to bolt on as though it didn't know or care from
a BULBS foot. Notice its Bold Blackguards,
Border-hounds, Bully Brooks, and all it's unmiti-
gated Bs that control the affairs of our country
at the present time. 1t may well furnish food for
gossip in foreign lands. that the pot-house bullies
and demagognes who administer our present gov
eminent, is without precedent or parallel in this
or any other constitutional government, for deer
and nefarious vlliany, from the unqualified in.
cumbent of the White-hOuse to the pettiest officer
under him.
What damning expose for the whole country
to ponder over, when the present nest Of political
reptiles, blacklegs and DULLES shall be driven from
their positions. and their acts made public
Having sown to the wind, they shall reap the
whirlwind. What fine opportunity such men
sitions hitherto sancti6ed by patriotism and abil-
ity, honorable alike to the country and to those
who filled them. But they have failed for want OF
honor and true national integrity, and succumbed
to the demands of party and the lust of the Slave
Power. Had Pierce been brave man, with q
Cabinet worth groat, he could have stopped the
Kansas explosion by checking the fires in the be.
ginning. But he sought it, and has got it.
A more chop-fallen set Of mortals could not be
scraped together elsewhere on tie continent, than
may be seen day and night going and coming from
the other end of the Avenue-like go many spec
tres about blood stained soul awaiting its exit
from this to lower dceps and darker shades OF
moral pollution and infamy. Even the strongest
and oftenest repeated potatiohs Of Cognac, Schie.
dam and Champagne, can't suffice to relieve them
of that chastity, woe-begOne look--a look only
seen upon the most naruened OF CRIMINALS. ANY
unprecedented man. who has any love of country
left in his heart, must see ard feel the influence
of this state Of things. With government in
F! the hands of such men, with such momentous in
terests at stake, and the blood of the nation
boiling at wrongs inflicted upon citizen by citizen,
with the sanction Of the government and the use
of its means-it is terrible! State sovereignty
is all that is left US to protect ourselves from the
injustice of those who are full of treason. How
any editor in your Territory can offer apology for
the CRIME and TREASON of the present admins
tration, is beyond my comprehension; but if
bribed to bolster up their corruption, then it is
