To THE EDITORS OF THE APPEAL:--Iu reference to

THE WAY THE NORTHERN DEMOCRATIC PAPERS
TALK.
We copy an article from the New Hampshire
Patriot below, for the purpose only of giving our
southern readers an opportunity Of hearing how
the northern democrats talk:
IT Is THEIR OWN woRK.-The civil war now "a.
cling in Kansas is the deliberate and carefully PLAN
t~No
begun By their tools in obedience to their orders
and in accordance with their plans. Their own
agent sent to demand aid of the President, admits
ander oath that the free State acre the dggressors
in the disturbances and acts Of bloody outrage
which have lately occurred there and he admits
that peace and quiet reigned in the territory up to
the very hour in which these cowardly traitors
made their Indian-like attacks upon their neigh
bors. The truth is, this civil war was planned and
commenced with view to aid the waning cause OF
Fremont In the words of the Albany Argus, sit
is civil war, deliberately waged by the republic
can leaders, to keep alive an agitation which shall
aid them in reaching power and plumber. 1t IS
simply carrying into effect of the plan adopted
by the Kansas Committee at it's Buffalo meeting,
and in aid of which Gerrit Smith subscribed 1if-
teen hundred dollars month during the war
that is, during the Presidential campaign. In pur-
suance of the arrangements of the sgitators, Gen.
Lane was sent out, furnished with all the men who
could be enlisted for the purpose ostensiby for the
defence of the free State setters but really to
counterfeit and thwsrt the efforts of the United
States troops in the pacifcaton Of the territory,
and to prevent at all hazards the restoration OF
peace and quiet till after the election.
Accordingly all the recent accounts concur that
in the late disturbances the free state men have
been the attacking parties They are carrying fire
and bloodshed throughout the territory. They
have causelessly aud Tor the benent OF poiticai
agitstors and as part of the programme OF the
republican campaign, lighted up the torch OF civil
| war. At the same moment their co.workers in
the House of Representatives, by preooncert among
the consp.rstors are seeking to deprive the gov
| eminent and the country OF the use of the army
to preserve the public peace and suppress this Dor
| der warfare. As in the war OF 1917 the traitors
| within our own borders sought to weaken the arm
| of the government, embarrass the operations of
Our gallant army, and withhold aid and comfort
from the cause of the country and furnish it to the
enemy, 50 now these traitors, kindlng the hres OF
instruction upon our borders at one point while
| the Indians are raising the savage war.whoop at
other points, seek to dsband the army and give full
scope to the faggot and the tomshswk. Well may
such conduct inspire the honest voters of the
country with intense hatred and disgust Of its au-
thors and induce them to repudiste politicians thus
destitute of patriotism and thus reasonable in
their designs, and to elect as President of the Uni
| ted States James Buchanan"
