OLD SIDELING HILL.

FluvAssA County,, May RIA 1870.
Washington sentinel., 1856-08-07

The Black Republican majority in Congress
having charge of the entire business before it,
has allowed eight months Of the session to pass
in shameful an in designed disregard of the
public interests and the public business.
1t has wasted the money of the public trea.
sury with prodigalily, and no bill Of public in
terest has yet been passed. The Topeka Con-
stitution, being Peter Funk operation to
create excitement and to consume time. We
have already, early in the session, sounded the
alarm, that a settled purpose existed in the
Black Republican ranks TO make this a session
Of plunder; that TO accomplish their purpose
this party would deny the Senate the right to pass
the first appropriation bills, because they would
be brought forward early in the session, be
fully discussed and inteligently acted upon; !;
that this was precisely what this party did not
want, it designed neither itself to allow full op.
portunity for discussion, nor TO permit the
Senate to afford it, but by delaying all action
on money matters, to jam business into the
last few days, and then to rush through their
plundering schemes.
We again sound the alarm and earnestly
solicit the watchful attention Of the public and
Of good men in Congress Of every party, to
vote down and throw out every item, which
bears not conclusirc eridence Of its proprety.
We are panied to learn that the Black Re-
publicans boast that there are Democrats
enough who have "axes Of their own to grind |"
which will enable these Republicans to log-rol
their plundering schemes through Congress.
These Democrats who have bills which are
deserving, and ought to pass, should not per-
nit themselves to be ensnared by the Republi.
cans. Let them frankly and boldly bring for.
ward their measures, relying upon their in
trinsic merit. Their constituents will perceive,
and readily understand why they are defeated,
if they be defeated, and they will altogether
approve the course Of their representatives
for prefering defeat to log-rolling with excep.
tiouable measures. Vengeance is specially de.
nounced against this District, and threats held
out that no appropriations for it shall be made.
They may be able to accomplish their threats ;
but if appropriations for the District are to be
had only in company with plundering bills as
a toll, better that the appropriations be lost.
These men are cunning, they walk with their
feet reversed, the heel being where the toes
should be, family and cunningly opposing bill
they wish passed, and vebemently advocating,
upon Objectionable grounds, bills they wish
defeated.
Again, we say, let members be on the alert
conspiracies against the treasury are aHoat
Let Democrats be careful, be watchful.

record without /. BIem,.h.

The Richmond Enquirer Of Tuesday last
closes most admirable review Of Mr.. Buch-
anan's record upon the slavery question, with
the following, which we commend especially to
those who, in the present crisis, are disposed to
permit loyalty 10 the South, in the Union and
under the Constitution, to become the govern.
ing principle Of their political action:
I'm private as well as in public Mr.. Buch
anan has always stood on the side Of the
South, the citizen and the statesman are one
and the same individual. He supported the
rights Of the South when in Office, he vindicated
and maintained those rights when out of Office.
He not only voted for all measures OF justice
to the South, but he endeavored to carry them
into effect His is not dead record of votes,
but living record Of acts, which vndicate the
honesty OF the votes. Thus, Mr.. Buchanan
exhorted the North to faithful and cheerful
fulflmcnt Of the obligations Of the fugitive
slave law. He protested against prohibition
Of the jails in Pennsylvania TO federal officers
for the confinement of captured slaves He
denounced the Wilmot proviso. He approved
the Clayton Compromise Of ls40. And to
sum up in single sentence, he has at all
Washington sentinel., 1856-08-07

designed perpetual slavery for a full consid
GRAFTON received.
without referring TO the immense profit
which these same men have received for trans
porting the products Of slaye-labor, from the
manufacturing these products, from the sup
plies furnished to the slaves and their masters,
we will simply say
That with this record before il the North sits
in judgment on the South and announces the
verdict:
1t discards the old adage that "the receiver
is as bad as the thief" and its verdict stands
+" That the receiver is alone the guilty one."
The thief is not only guiltess in their esti-
nation, but he is the very proper person to ac-
cuse, prosecute, testify against Judge, condemn
and execute the receiver; the very thief who
assured the receiver that his title to the slave
was perfect and absolute and who had given
guarantee of title to the receiver against every
such claimant.
The Judge is the Northern thief, with the
consideration and guarantee money in his
pocket, setting in judgment on the Southern
receiver, who holds the judges own bill Of sale,
receipts and guarantee Of title in his hands.
Yet the honest thief judge, chinking his guilt
money, in his pocket, condemns his Southern
receiver.
This is plain unvarnished truthful state
ment in which scarce half the enormity of
Northern guilt is shown, and but portion Of
the monstrous injustice to the South appears
We will exhibit this in separate article.

The enquiry is greater now. Let him answer
some enquiries and let us know what he will
do if Congress should renew the Missouri re-
striction, and repeal that section of the Kan.

as its constitution may determine. Call on him
to say, as the Wings Of the South may be re-
preached by posterity with having given away,
for partisan prejudice, the most sacred rights
Of the South.

On Saturday, one of that numerous gang Of
Fremont politicians, who are hired to 90 from
place to place, blowing for the fusion nomi-
nees, stopped awhile in this city. He opened
in a public house with an offer to bet on Fre-
mont, but on finding customers ready to plank
the dimes, he grew 6dgety--backed and filed,
and finally, as "a get off," proposed to stand
treat all around. A call on was accordingly
made, when the Fremonter, having swallowed
his portion, suddenly came up missing. He
forgot to pay.-Rochester Daily Advertiser.
