A Candid Admission.

The Louisville Journal, pro-slayery, in
commenting upon communication in refer
encc to the lynching of Brady at Lexington,
makes the following truthful admission:
"Our correspondent is right in saying
that men in slave States will not tolerate
now the uttcancc of sentiments which they
tolerated unhesitatinSly many years ago
Jefferson was great man and an undOubt-
ell patriot, hut Southern editor would cx-
pose himself 20 the danger Of mob violence
If he were to use at this time such language
rs Mr. Jefferson used"
That is emphatically true, and if Jefferson
were now living, and ut this present time
candidate for the Presidency, he could not
obtain the vote of single Southern State.
and in none of them would he more over
whelmingly repudiated than in his own
State of Virginia. Nor would he succeed u
whit better with the Old Line Democrats in
the Free States of the North; votes for him
from that quarter would he few and far be-
tween. lie would have 10 depend entirely
upon the Republican party for support
The Republican party has taken,' as the
basis for political action in reference to Slav-
erN, anu SlstNtiN tNNcilHihns NHt EAANI Hp'i-
sition occupied by jefferson; and il is also
a positiou Identical with the one taken by
the Democratic party in the Free States in
1910. And Ro,o, because the Republicans
occupy this position, and for nothing else,
the old Line Democrats in the North. with
the false and hypOcritical claim of being
=. Jeffersonian Democrats" constantly drip
ping from ther tongues and their pens, de-
nounce them rs fanatics, enemies of the
Constitution, and traitors TO their country.
IrWashington, Franklin, Jefferson, and a
number of Others, who have always been
snokcn of rs the " Fathers Of the Republic"
were now living and were now to utter the
sentiments on the Slavery question that they
once uttered, they would be mobbcd in the
slave States and repudiated and denounced
by the Old Liners in the Free States. If
thew wished to escape personal violence on
the one hand, or SANDER on the other, they
would have to revise their record or remain
silent.

About Corporations.

Is not our ncighbor Of the Democrat OBJ
livious his friends in the Biddcfori Asso-
citation, in putting forth just at this time,
such opinions as these, which we find in his
last paper?
The people will have to look well to all
kinds Of corporations and monopOlics, or
they will get beyond their control.
We take it that the above is meant as a
caution to the p,oplc Of Biddelord not to
allow the corporations here to "Set beyond
their control" And again:
OF all silly, sickcning, and disgusting
measures, none aro more entirely 50, than
those which certain gambling politicians
adopt and pursue, under the pretence Of r.
gard for the dear people.
The advice in the frs. extract is timely,
and the truth expressed in the last will be
readily admitted, The people Of our city
will. in their municipal action, hcc3 the al
OF tho frs;, and now understand
that the declaration in the last applies to
certain gambling politicians, who are at
tachCd to the Biddoford Association. Let
the Democrat continue to thunder forth its
anathemas against corporations.

write to defend rum and slavery, and il is
all right. but if Parson Peck, or Stevens do

il is horrid-it should be stopped at once

sooner or later end in clarifying SLAVERY.

OnICIoU. INTERFERENCE. The editor of
the " Border RulHan" Democrat is very
much disturbed about our municipal cleo
ton, matter about which he has as muel,
to do as tho Z" barons OF Missouri have with
the elections in Kansas. Several columns
of his paper this week are devoted to the
subject, and some orthcstatements he makes
and differences he draws are, in point of
truth and dccency, about equal to those
made by the Kickapoo Ranger, in relation
to KANSAS affairs. The people of this city
doubtless will appreciate his meddling Off
ciousncss, even though some of them may
not perceive any great necessity for it
We hope for his own sake, that the Border
RuGian who controls the Democrat, and
who vomits forth his epithcts of black re-
publicans, know nothings and kindred slang
with as much gusto as do his friends in Mis-
souri, against the free State men Of Kansas,
will allow his zeal in our affairs to Cxpend
itsrlrin vaporing through his newspaper.
Should he and his friends make foray into
our territory on election day and, copying
after his friends in Missouri, attempt to
seize our ballot boxes, Dust our inspectors,
and vote for our city officers, we would not
insure him, or them, safe delivercncc from
the hands of the popular sovereigns" OF
