the editor aforesaid, and such an igno.
rant, or rather knavish crew, 1--WE do
not specify names, because to name a
man signifies a desire of distinguish
ing him from other moving atoms OF
humanity as have been pouring ont
their dim and twilight glimmerings,
of the issues Of the day, in various
places in Virginia-places which,
after this canvass is over, will know
them no more forever. 0.#.-~1
Did the people ever ask themselves,
"Who is it that opposes the Kansas
Nebraska Act~ We will give them
the answer. What has made the Ere
mont party, and from whence blows
the storm against the'd evoted South
and her truly great and gallant peo-
pie! Opposition to the Kansas-Ne-
braska Act. And thus it is that the
Republican and the CT ew aforesaid,
who are ready to be the bondpren
and sublniscreants of the slaves at
heart, the Fremonters, as they are
called, may. console themselves, as
the jews, when they cried out for
the fesh-pots of Egypt with the seri-
ous and distressing truth, that % the
great question, opposition To- the
Kansas Nebraska act, this crew. the
Know-nothing speakers, and Fre,non-
tiers, ara linked together in traitor
GUS harmony N opposition 1T 70 the
Kansas Nebraska act. May the Coo
of the South, the. God of Washing,
Ron, Jefferson, Madison, Henry, Clay,
and Calhoun, send some Moses to de-
liver the people of tho Know Nothing
Party from the factions and disturbed
spirits that are seeking to drive them
back from the Canaan of their promise
to the ff sh-pots Of Egypt-from the
rainbow Of hope, kindled in the po-
litical skies by the Kansas act, prom
Using that the turbid seas of strife be-
tween the North and the South, would
no longer deluge our shores with the
tempest and the storm---promising
that the flood had subsidized and the
doveEof peace might go forth and
bringbacll- to the ark Of Liberty, the
Constitution, the olive branch, to
crown ourselves and OUR postcrity,
for other and yet greater struggles
for the right of man. And so it
would have been but for the Satan
of opposition, that has been ever
ready to enter our Eden and tempt the
Eve Of Liberty to eat the forbidden
fruit, whose mortal taste brings death
and darkness upon our land, our
stars and stripes. These remarks
have been elected by the editorial in
the Republican Of the 21st instant,
in which tina t paper unitcs itself,
hand and glove, with the Fremont
party and ignorant, knavish ere W
aforesaid, in denunciation of the
Kansas act. ....
By-the-by, why do we hear nothing
from the. Fremontels and the crew
aforesaid, to-wit: the Know nothing
speakers, about Nebraska, why, is it
all Kansas, Kansas, Kansas; Squattcr
Sovereignty in Kansas, and such
like garbage? We do not wish to be
unkind, but we will state a simple
fact, and people can make their own
1NFERENcEs. The Kansas Legislature
has passed a law introducing slavery
into that 7 Territory and masters and
slaves are settling in the Territory.
BIT mark, the Nebraska Legislature,
underline influence of the Black Re
publicans, have made a law prohibit
ing slavery in Nebraska. IN # <
Now, let the RcpubS1can and the
crew aforesaid, tell us why it is that,
they say nothing about the Nebraska
law: The thing is too plain; itspeaks
for itself. We fear the Republican,
and the crew aforesaid, approve of
the law prohibiting slavery in Ne
braska, and in their heart of hearts,
condemn the law that gives to the
people of the South the right to set
tie with their slaves in Kansas. Peo-
pie of the Il. n, party, we know
you are true to the honor Of the
South, then look at the deforrmity Of
your leaders, as We drag away the
thick veil, and touch not the forbid
den fruit til ey are oferingyou- Its
mortal taste brings death. T
