OUR PIrrsBURGu SPEECH The Pioneer and
other Slavery papers, have had much to say
about Kansas speech at Pittsburgh. Various
papers have given it various constructions to suit
their tastes the latest we find in the columns of
the Pioneer, and copy it for the edifcaton of
doughfaccs
lie (.he Editor of the Times) vowed and
pledged himself - that if the suffering free State
cause required further aid, he would shoulder a
inusket and march to Kansas"
We wish to inform the Pioneer, once for all.
that no such remarks were over made by u.s. F.
y. Wood of Kansas, in the course of his speech,
stated that he desired young men to go to
Kansas to make t - Free State. lie did not
wish them to go to Minnesota to h,ht ice bergs
with all due Difference to his friend Newscn, who
was among the audlence.) On being called up
on, we remarked, that the Young men of Mime
sofa might be fighting bergs, Gin the imasina-
ton of the gentlemen, aud only IN his imag ina
tion.) but if SO they had warm hearts N d strong
arms ami were willing to fight for the oppressed
of Kansas. We further remarked. that if the
emergency cf the demanded It. we believed
men would march from illinois, (Which has been
the c,se,) from Iowa. (Which has been the CASEY
from Wisconsin, (Which has been thc clse)
and even rrom Minnesota, to defend their broth
rem in Kansas from the aggression of the Slave
Power. We gave utterance to suc! 'cm irk
shouldering our musket and marching to Kan
sas, and whoever says so, lies. That's plain. but
IL is just what We mean. What we did say then
and there, we are not ashamed to say again, but
we insist that our cotemporaries shall misrcpre
sent US no longer. Asynopsis of our speech was
published in Of the Philadelphia papers,
and was far different from that which has been
represented in many of the Democratic journals.
Ii tho Pioneer editor is anxious to hear MS on
this subject, let him get up pro-Slavery Demo-
cratic meeting, and he shall have our views at
length, hut hereafter let him do us Justice, or let
US alone.
g GLORIOUS Nsws FOR FREA r."-I he Pioneer
publishes a recent vote taken in the Jail, City
Bridewell and Aims House, of Chicago, and calls
it glorious news for Fremont The Pioneer,
we think, would not have been so fast, if it had
been aware of the fact that the 81 in the jail, /,
and the % in the Bridwell and the 81 in the Aims
House, who voted for Fremont, were all Demo
crdtS, who, since 'heir confinement had repented
of their evil ways, and are now prepared to be-
como good citizens. That's good one, Mr..
Pioneer. Take another canvass of the as and
let US know the result.
The Washington onion states that last week
sepen thousand new subscribers were added to its
subscription lst.-PiOneer.
CYr The Pioneer takes particular pride in copy
ing such ,idicuous falsehoods that the public are
more than half of tho time laughing at it.
SEVEN THOUSAND new subscribers! Seven hum
.dred seven hundred, neighbor where's your
judgement? Seven thousand in one week would
be 1000 per dav, aud who believes that?
MsA, The Pioneer, in classifying the polit
zeal journals of this Territory, omits entirely the
German paper of this city, which IS GU. strong
for Freem mt and DAYTON. The ,ltor informs
US that he and his German friends can identify
themselves with no other party nut the Republican
Their views Of Liberty will not permit them to
give any encouragement to the Democratic can
ddate and his odious Slavery platform. The
Pioneer won't make much capital by Intentionally
emitting the Zeitung from its list. 4 Republican
paper is to be started at Otowa, one at Saltwater
and with the German press in this city, the Repub
licans will have nine instead Of six journals, a,
stated 10y the Pioneer.
