CO Breckenridge, the Locofoco candidate
for Vice President, said in his speech at Tip
pecanoe, Indiana, that the Declaration Of
Independence was ga mere abstraction"
Eighty years ago our fathers, the patriots
Of the Revolution, put forth that declaration
Of the rights Of man, and pledged life, for
tune and sacred honor for its maintenance,
and many Of them shed their blood in it,
defence now under the corrupting influence
OF Slavery, candidate for the second ofhce
IN the gift Of the people Of this country, pro-
claims that the truths OF that immortal doe
ument are mere distractions.
/ What fall is there from the pure princ-
pies OF liberty to the odious assertions OF
tyranny and Slavery.

WHO COMMENCED THE TROUBLES IN KANSAS
The whole trouble in Kansas is shargeabe TO the Aid
Societies and the political priesthood who directed their
movements Long before any Mssourian had interfered
with the Of that Territory the abotonists were
sending their armed legions there permanent SET
tiers but with rifles in their hands temporary marau
ders interfering with the OF the Territory and
taking part in the elections and then flying back again
with carpebags in hand" to the States they had left to
vote there and stay there This IL that exasperated
the MsEourians to acts Of retaliation. They said Massa
ehuset men, and Connecticut men, and Ohio men, 70

and then back again. will them at their own
game They did and the abolioniss got the Of

themselves began the game and when they failed in it
they set up howl about bleeding Kansas. Bleeding
Kansas indeed they have bled it and the Aid Societies
TOO like the boodsuckers They started this system of
rife emigration long before the Nebraska Kansas bill
had passed. That bill became law the 30th of May
1854. But early the 9Th of March, nearly three
months before il passed the House of Representatives the
Rev. Dr. Bacon of this city, who is always well posted up
in all abolition movements made the following
