gu this is only one among many of their acts of hypoc
risy and deception Not only did they refuse to take up
this BILL with this clause repeating the "Draconian CODE
thus giving their official sanction to that CODE bat the false
hearted hypocres actually voted To ESTABLISH SLAVERY
THE TERRITORY KAssAs-AcrUALLY VOTED FOR THE FUG
rIvEsLAvE which they have been abusing and denoun
cing to the exhaustion of their Blngsgate terms which
are by no means few or delicate.
Here are the provisions for which eUy single black re-
publican the House. except Mr. Letter, of Ohio voted
"Prorided WeUer, That person lawfully held to
vice said Territories shall not be discharged from such

We beg readers to contrast the two provisions
Read the against which the black republicans voted
alongside OF the for which they voted which they
pod through he House The heads Of ery national dem
ocrat in bodyhen say who the advocates Of peace

But Mr. Letter did for the BILL and why did he
bolt from his whole psry He has answered that ques
ton for himself and give him the benefit of his reply
! 1t is follows:
awe passed Dunus bill for Kansas yesterday in n very
Questionable II has many good provisions but
teads lHgitips lac Kdnsds and N,braska and
psrpetuatss slavery there until 1858, and make, all children

We know that 1t is almost hopeless task TO attempt to
convince any black republican Of the sehoOd aud the
folly Of the charges which the leaders OF that party are
daily manufacturing for circulation sll We think II well
to keep fnging the truth and the record In their faces
that the people may not be deceived We may give

Many poor deluded fanatics have repeated the fasehoods
