The Dunn Bill.


If Gs0rgc q. DEM, of Indiana from any eau
had failed 10 introduce the bill he did into Congress
TOR the settlement ofthe difficulties Of Kansas and
its future government, OF if the Republicans hadnot
voted for II after twas introduced wo cannot fer
tho life Of us imagine what the aspiring bunker
Con gressonal Candidates would have done for elec
tionssring matter against the Republicans during
this campaign; "7Hs Damn Ear The DUSS
BILL TIE DUNN BILLi!l" is the beginning,
the middle, and the end of al their efforts to preju
dice voters against the Republican and capdi
datcs The Republicans voted for the Damn BILL
and the Democrats voted against it, and what do you
think, unsophisticsted, generous, and confding
reader these bunker Democrats are urging the
causes and motives of these votes. Why say they,
the Republicans voted for il, because the ReEubi-
cans are in favor of slavery, and tie Democrats vo
ted against it, because they opposed to slavery
That's il This grsat Republican party, which .he
pro-slaysgy South don't propose to holp with sim
gle electoral vote we are told is IN favor ofslevery;
aud this great democratic party which is made up
almost entirely Of the pro slavery South, told
is peculiarly the party of Freedom. WHAT next
Doubtless our Democratic brethren are prepared 10
insist on ii, that the Devil isan angel oflght
This Dam bill was attempt to harmonic
hicting elements and interests at Washington, to
make peace and avoid future difficulty in kersas,
and like good many other bills it had bad features
well good Its main features were, that il en-
trey abolished all the bogus laws of Kansas and re-
stored the Missouri Compromise line, and its Incl
dental features were that it gave the slave hoGes
who had established slavery in Kansas a chance to
get out with their property without losing it.
The Republicans went for it, because it abolished
the bogus laws Of Kansas and restored the Missouri
Compromise line; and the Democrats went against
it for the very same reason But now when nearly
every person had forgotten that there was such a
thing rs Dunn bill, such Dunn, the
Democrats have exhumed its objections bic pro sa
very features and urging these the points on
which the Republicans voted for the bill, and the
Demecrats oppssedi it.
1t isust as we said The Republicans favored it
because it repealed the odious bogus laws Of Kan
sas the Of all the troubles there, and restored
the Missouri line; and the Democrats opposed it 10
a man because Ofthose very features.
This is the length and breadth, the height and
deTt Of the Dnnn bill, and yet these Democrats
have the mpudence to insult intelligence by
now claiming special merit for voting against the
Dunn bill.

BE ON vnnr Guard.

The Buchancc-s in this county, we are
credibly informed are calculating largely
upon increasing their own vote and d.
minishing the republican majority by
means of the hands employed on the rail
road, mainly in the town of Bristol in this
county. Where these hands come from
or whether they are legal voters, we do
not know. If they are legal voters, OF
course no one will object to their voting.
But it would be well for our friends IN
that town to be on their guard. BE on

Has the South a Candidate or a Party?

The efforts of the Buccaneers lately
has been to prove themselves the pecul-
lar friends and party of freedom, and the
Republicans the party of slavery. On
this logic the south either has no candi-
date in the field, or else the south has
turned in for freedom against the north
for slavery. What perfect Solomons in
wisdom our Buchanan brethren are. If
the election were not so near at hand no
doubt they would go to work to prove
that white is black and black white.
There is one significant point in their eff
forts. By attempting toprove themselves
the party Of freedom, they confess the
dominant merit of freedom and of the
freedom party. They admit that every
person ought to go for freedom. Vote
then acHh the real freedom party: cote

Only 27O0!

The official democratic majority on
Canal Commissioner, in Pennsylvania,
is trife over 200 votes. The n. Y.
Eceni,sg Post says truly, if we had not
been spoiled by the remarkable triumphs
of Iowa, Maine, ard Vermont, we should
look upon this result as great triumph
1t is a great triumph. That state was
pledged to Buchanan, Mt Cincinnati, by
$4,000 majority, and his leading friends
and organs up to the day of election, ex-
pected to carry it by at least 10000 ma
jority. Twenty-seven hundred majority
only, is an overwhelming defeat for that
party. The history of every election,
save one, for the past 20 years in Penn
sylvania, shows a loss to the democracy
between the state and presidential cleo
tons, enough to swamp a majority of FIVE
times the present democratic majority.
Gen. Taylor gained $4,000 votes on the
state election. Fremont win get every.
Republican vote and thousands of votes
besides that no local repu blican candi
dates could get.
We never felt so sure of PENNSYLVANIA
as now. All the opponents of slavery
extension are united on one electoral
ticket. What division there is, is among
the slaveryites. Our friends are conf
dent and are moving irresistably forward
to victory.
With Pennsylvania sure to us, as it
now is, we can afford to lose, though we
don't expect to by any means, Indiana,
New Jersey, and California, and yet
elect our candidate. But we cannot af-
ford tolose Wisconsin. Therefore friends
be up and doing. Work for freedom!
