A Pre- .ty Proposition.

Lane, the cowarily miscreant and trail
tor. whe sneaked OFT of Kansas il the
night, has a letter in his free love" organ
this morning, the Tribune, in which he
makes the following brutal proposition to
settle the difficulties in Kansas, addressed
to A. w. Doniphan and A. g. Boone,
Esqs.:
You to select one hundred actual slave.
holders, born aud raised in Save States,
who have already been engaged In this
conflict. Atchisou & Co., among the mum.
ber; and | to select one hundred actual
non-slavehoiding settlers of Kansas, my.
self included; We being the party invaded
and having The right to select time, place
distance and weapons, who shall fight in
presence of twelve members of the House
of Representatives of the United States
one.half of whom shall be selected by
each party, with the mutual agreement
that the blood of the parties thus selected
shall settle this vexed question, and save
Ksnsas from further outrage.
The above isl just what we should ex
Ipect from degraded libertine and despair
! ado, who, having been cast out Of decen
society for leaving bis wife and robbina
her of her property. would be glad, proba
bly,, to have some one kill him. He date
his lettor from Fremont, Co., Iowa. bu
desires to be addressed OF Indianapolis

clustering. dare not be in any particula
place just new.-N T. Day Book.

Greeley gives 1t up.
In his last Issue Greeley says:

In his last issue Greeley says:
1--WE do not wish our readers to believe
the election of FREMONT a fixed fact
We do not ourselves believe it, and should
not desire to ditfuse the impression if we
did. We wish it generally understood
that the struggle is arduous. and that the
result depends on work yet to be done.
Insspite of many cheering assurances, we
consider the states of Pennsylvania, New
Jersey Indiana. Illinois and California
still doubtful. We may carry them by
large majorities. but we may also loose
eaongh Of them to beat as in, the contest
We consider our. chance in the House,
should the election 60 thither. Of very lit
tie worth. We must succeed, if at all
by the votes of the people; we canno'
count on single slave State; and we must
Ieifher carry Pennsylvsnia, or, loosing it,
carry oil the rest of the free States"
This is the way "Old Drab" is prepar
ing to let his yssders down. He has play

At Democratic meeting in Wauseon,
Fulton county, u few migh,s sihce which
was addressed by. Mr.. Edgerton, our can-
didate for Congress, rich scene was en-
acted. Several Black Republicans were
present: and the way in which the able
and eloquent speaker handled their pie
bald factions was anything but agreeable
to their feelings. Finally one of them
rose up, interrupted Mr.. Z. in rude aud
ungentlemanly manner, and declared that
he wanted vote of the audience on the
Presidential preferences = that nothing
but vote would relieve his pent.up feel
ings and prevent case OF spontaneous
combustion. 'Edg.' consented to crafty
him, but claimed the right to take the
vote himself, and proceeded to pst the
question thus: "All those in favor
Of Fremont will get right mp and tear
their shirts!" Two persons arose. -
Cali those in favor of Buchanan will set

For the Spirit of Democracy.

MR. EDITOR IL beg leave TO correct
an error which appeared in your paper OF
he 18th ult. In pernsing that paper,
siotice in oae of its columns, few reso-
iutiens which were adopted by Society
purpOrting to be the Jamestown Temper
anee Society, to which are annexed long
list of names as supporters of the reso-
rest is my own, which seme fellow pos
sessed with more authority than hrains
put there. He was, perhaps, exalted upon
the very top of the pinnacle of morality,
looked down from his dignifed position
and saw that the platform upon which he
stood was tottering and likely to fall, he
then, like drowning man grasping at a
straw for relief in the agony of death,
condescended to insert my name as plank
in that odious platform without ever ask
ing whether I would endorse the resolu-
tiens as set forth in the jamestown plat
form or not Now. sir. if yon call that a
moral act, / call it q very ungentlemanly
one; l claim to be a human being, and as
such would wish to lie dealt with accord
inely by all mankin,,.s As to-me signing
the resolutions ref rred to, positively
declare that | never did Neither did |
authorize any person to do it fer me. 1t
is true that | was born and raise 10 man
hood in what is called The dark hills of
Monroe, and still reside between two of
those huge monsters. Nevertheless, ]
have always been able to transact my own
business satisfactorily both to myself and
my fellow creatures with whom have had
dealings, and whenever my mind becomes
so much impaired as to render me unit to
pursue my daily avocations, if that gen.
lleman will lie so kind rs 10 make himself
known to me, will feel myself under OBJ
legations to confer upon him the honor of
my guardianship, as | conside: him very
oicious man, and we'll calculated to dis
Charge the duties of another during alb
sence of mind.
