women had been violated in New York and
he had not felt called upon, on that acrount,
to leave the Democratic party and make war
on the Union. He condemned the outra-
yes in Kansas, but held the Emigrunt Aid
Societies that inStiguted them equally cul-
pable with the Missouri rutiians. They
could not be stopped, because the Repub-
licans required them for su-tenance. IL was
said of General Jackson that he always had
an Indian Baby roasted for breakfast, but

How the Black Republics ans Talk-The
Humbug Confessed.

George w. Julian, OF Indiana. who was
the Abolition candidate 70; Vice President in
1852. and who is now leading Fremont
Black. Republ can orator in the West, has
written aletler to one J. F. Myers, in which
he says: ...r ..-.
"Since have sem the proceedings Of the
Philadelphia Convention in full. have felt

language, preuch he i5hOle Anti-slarery 9os-
pel. Ii lOes not confine us TO the single issue
of free Kansas or recognize any geographical
line respecting our Territories. but regards
them as alike exposed to the Tavages Of slave
ry, and alike invoking its prohibition by
Congress.
"'rhe restoration Of the Missouri Compro-
mise, therefore, as an issue, is finally gather.
ed to its place among the DEFUNCT POLL
TICAL HUMBUGS OF THE DAY,
while the way is made plain for the peo.
pie OF our State TO retrace their steps and
rectify errors. Indeed the whole platform
is to be commended, not more for occupying
boldly and unequiyocally so much true An
ti-slayery ground, than for omiting anything
positively Objectionable; and in these res
poets, hope il may be understood as admin
istering decent and mtrited Ttbuke TO The
slippery policy pursued by the politicians Of
Indiana during the past tlUo gears
This letter Is noticeable for two reasons
first because it admits that the "vhole Anti
slavery (or Abolition) gospel can be preach
ed" from the Black Republican platform.
and that it is not limited to single issue,
as some of their most dishonest partisanS
pretend. Mr.. Julian is night in this-the So
called Republican organization is simply the
old Abolition party revived. II is headed
by the same men, and is contending for the
same principles, reinforced by considerable
portion of Aboltionized Whiggery and bo.
gus Democracy, who concur in their inns and
objects. Let no one he misled, then, by the
assertion that the Black Republican organIza'
ton is not Unidentified with the old Aboll-
ton party.
We call the attention OF the public, also.
to that clause in Juian's letter in which he
speaks of the Missouri Compromise as q
defuncl political hunbug." Yet, it is out Of
the peal of that admitted delunct politi-
cal humbugn that the Black Republicans
have made great deal OF political capital.
This whole Nebraska-Kansls question, from
the beginning, has been "humbuS" on the
part Of the Aboltionists, who know tina.
upon that issue the Democrats are right,
but they have used it merely as screen to
conceal the dark and bloody Abolition pro
gramme that lies beneath. That Democrat
ic simple and verdant, indeed, who has not
by this tine awakened to the fact.

to Providence Than we have. Freedom, pow

enjoyed before us. And yet at this very mo-

Beware Of the InpOsfOrs---
ShriekerS from Kansas.

We desire to put the community, and es-
peciaIly the Democracy, upon their guard
against desperate and chaIacterlsticaIly
dishonest game which is now being played
BY the "Freedom Shriekers" in the West
and North. They have employed. by means
of thei, 'Kansas aid contributors" and 9th.
er large electioneering and corruption funds,
a great number of worthless characters, who
perambuIae the country, pretending TO be
from Kansas, and testifying to many won
derful things they have seen in that Terrific
tury in the war of "outrages," which fig
ure in the veracious Back-Republican prin Is.
Now, most Of these men have never been
within thousand miles Of KdnsGs Territory,
and their personal statements are bold and
shameless fabrications. Indiana is swarm.
lug with these vagabonds, and her Democra-
cy owe il to themselves everywhere to rebuke
the miserable pretenders, by exposing in their
press the shameless trick and fraud.- Gin
