The Senatorial revolutionists are, therefore,
without q shadow Of truth, so far as what has
actually occurred in the Territory is con
cerned, on which to base their subterfuge
that there is necessity for taking care that the
President shall not use tho ordinary army ap-
propristions to aid the cause of their oppo-
nents in Kansas. Indeed, the falsity and hol.
lowness of the arrant pretence to which we
refer above is Sc glazing that all who have
kept In mind the events in the stirring history
Of Kansas must see through its want of foun-
dation, at glance. But this is not the first
occasion whereupon men bent on working out
the most nefarious revolutionary purposes,
have dragged the sacred name of liberty into
the gutter, there to be used as cover under
which they might justify and palliate acts
such as those of James Lane and Ossawatchie
Brown, the border Missouri counterfeiter and
horse thief, and the gangs under their respec-
tive commands.
In the first French revolution the guillotine
was made to do all its work, in nberty's
sacred name, upon everybody of character,
property and real public utility who stood in
the way Of the success of the schemes Of the
prototypes of the so-,alled apostles and cham.

man and defenceless woman who was robbed
and murdered by Sans Culottetsm in the
French revelation of 1893 was robbed and
murdered in the name of freedom Every law
and every right which was then trampled un-
der foot was abused in liberty's holy name.
1t took all Europe nearly half a century TO
forget its impressions of the unjustif able out
RACES perpetrated in Hberty's name in that
revolution, sufficiently to enable the cause of
liberalism to again hold up its head anywhere
on the continent. In our own country and at
this time while outrages very similar to those
in France alluded to above are being perpe
trated by Lane and Ossawatchie Brown and
their companions, We have in the Congress of
the United States strong party aiding and
abetting them with speeches and votes, Just as
the Sa'Is Cmiottes of France were aided and
abetted by the orators and members of the
Mountain during the revolution of 1898.
In principle the two contests are Identical,
and the means used to secure a triumph ara
the same. Murder and rapine, on the part Of
the instruments of the revolutionists who do
the head work; and the abasement of all
truth, Law, justice, and guaranteed rights, on
the part Of those (their head workers. in the
National Legislature.
Amusing The New York Courier and
Enquirer gravely claims Illinois and Indiana
as certain for Fremont. This is about on a
par with the claims Of the Fillmourners that
seven States will surely cast their electoral
votes for their candidate.

that our friends from Illinois in this city. who

that Buchanan and Breckinridge will carry
Illinois by twenty five thousand majority. We
know what we are writing in making this state
