The Triangular Fight.

The country has fallen upon strange and troub-
lous times. Internecine war now exists in Kan
RACES over the whole county,
Fanatics OF the North and fanatics of the South
now talk disunion to the States treason to the
government and instability to the peace of the
country. A crises exists-the fact cannot be dis
guised, the danger is imminent Heretofore at
Presidentials elections the excitement of politics
has run high, but it has always passed off through
the ballotbox-the safety valve of the Republic
but the danger is real actual and threatening
war actually exists in Kansa. Brother fights
against brother-friend against frend--the North
against the South, No foreign flag floats above
the plains of Kansas-no alien foe treads its soil.
yet is it now drsnched in blood and that blood is
from the American heart,--he ,rar is .frafrieidal.
This state Of things has been brought about by
the fanatica feeling of the North and the fanati-
cal feeling of the South. We deprecate this state
of things.
We are sorry to find the North arrayed against
the South and the South against the North
Wrongs have been committed ON both Sides
Conservative men Of both sections of the Union
should unite to protect and preserve the free-in-
stitutons Of our common Country. All sections
have the same interest. Men of Massachusetts
preservation of the American Union, the same
now as when in the early history of the confedera-
tion, Harrison Gray Otis, stood side ly aide with
Oxenbridge Thatcher for the union of the States
The cotton lord Of the Sonth the manufac turer
Of the North. the agriculturalist of the West all
have common interest in the common heritage
Of freedom. California is far removed from this
sectional and unnatural striie-t is the youngest
born sister Of the Republic. and while we have no
d rect advice to give as to the disposition of your
votes we call upon every man to pause and well
reflect what is for the best interest of the Nation
ere you give the weight Of your influence and
your vote in this contest, and when you decidr
| let your vote fall where i'll your conscientious
! judgement it will best tell to produce harmony
quiet and prosperity to the land.
! And above all things we call upon our readers
TO preserve their fcalty to the Union in all events
We like not to hear these idle threats of disunion-
lists they are unworthy the American people. II
Fremont or Buchanan or Fillmore are elected TO
the Office Of Presid, ut Of United States by far
expression Of the will Of the people through the
! ballot box, it is the duty Of the minority to sub
nit in willing obedience to the law. The Tn.
ion must aud shall be preserved idle and moi
| ~ politicians may threaten It's integrity aud
pgoptcy its speedy dissolution, but il real danger
shall ever menace it, the people, without dstnc-
ton OF party--without rettr,uce to birth plvce
will rally around this proud fabric of our Cousti-
tutioual Liberty aud insure It's continued existence

their honor to It's preservation aud Is Integrity
As for ourselves, We ant c pate no danger. Ou
confidence III the patriotism OF the NOrth au(
South is permanent and abiding. Mode rate coun
sells will yet prevail, and the nation will az a I
return to the wisdom, moderation and conserva
tion which characterized the early legislation O
our Republican Fathers.
When the election is passed we will again sub
side into the quiet course of our early times, anc
our Government will go on as it has heretoio n
done in its career of prosperity. Peace vii
reign throughout the land and quiet be aga,n re
stored.
