and STRINGFELLow. After reading tho ex
tracts below We trust no Administration mar
will have the hardihood to assert, that the
election of the Kansas pro-slavery Legisla-
ture was not carried by Missouri votes OIL
that ArcHIsoN and SrRINGFEILow are not
Pierce Democrats. 5f 1ag
ATcH1soN commences by asserting that
he never was an ofice-seeker; then recounts
the offices he has been forced to fill, and
then withdraws his name for the Office of q.
S. Senator because he will not jeopardize
the interest of the Democratic party; for,
says he-"It shall never be said that Arch
IsoN, through love of office, his obstinacy,
or too strong Pro-Slavery proclivities, split
the National Democratic Party"
We make some literal extracts from
ATCH1soN's rich and racy Democratic party
speech as follows - Clegelaad Herald.
NEITHER HEAVEN NOR HE'LL PARTY.

Party. Second the Wing Party, and third,

WE MssoURIANs BEAT THEM.
I wish to review my course on the Kan
sas-Nebraska bill. When the subject was
first introduced you know I opposed it
But meetings were held, resolutions were
passed declaring is was your wish to open
that Territory, and being true Democrat,
promised to 90 for it on one condition, and
that was that the Missourians Compromise,
so-called-the Missouri restriction, properly
called-be repealed. I addressed the peo-
pie here in this Courthouse, at ParkSville,
Westport, in fact all over the State, and told
them that if the Compromise was repealed,
/ would go for a bill to organize the Terri
tory; and in speech at independence l
told the people that unless that restriction
was repealed, l would see them damned
before would 90 for it That was the En-
glish of it. Well, it was done. do not
say that I did it, but was a prominent
agent The Territory was opened for set
tlement, every man having an equal right to
90 from the North or South with their prop
erty. The Abolitionists of the North fail
ing to accomplish their vile purposes by law,
resolved to effect it in opposition to law
They organized their did Societies, raised
money and men, had 5000 preachers and
their Abolition orators, drumming up their
force, who were whistled on the cars and
whistled off again in Kansas City and other
places, some of whom had "KaasGs and
Liberty" on their hats, l saw it with my own
eyes. These men came with the avowed
purpose of driving or expelling you from
the Territory. What did l advise you to
do! Why meet them at their own game.
When the first election came off Told you
to 90 oUer and vote You did so and beat
them We, our party in Kansas, nominated
Gen. Whitfield. They, the Abolitionists,
nominated Flenniken. ' ai.F
MISSOURI BOWIE KNIVES AND REvoLvERs
BEAT THEM AGAIN
Well what next? Why an election for
members of the Legislature to organize the
Territory must be held What did / ad-
wise you to do then? Why meet them on
their own ground and beat them again; and
cold and inclement as the weather was, l
went over with company of men. NV
object in going was not to vote. I had no
right to vote, unless l had disfranchised N.Y.
self in Missouri. l was not within two
miles of voting place. My object in going
was not to vote, but to settle difficult be-
tween two candidates, and the Abolitionists
of the North said, and published 1t abroad,
that Atchison 1Oas there Nth boWie-knite
and revolper-and By God 'twas true
I neUer did go into that Territory, I IneUer
intend to 90 into that Territory, toitho,a
being prepared for all such kind of cattle
Well, we beat them.
MssoURIANs WILL RESIST THEM AGAIN.
Well, code of laws were enacted SINH
lar to those of Missouri and other States,
after which the Abolitionists falling in ev-
erything, turned round and repudiated these
laws, though in their bogus, spurious treaty
which they published, they agreed to sub
NIT to them. They called a Convention,
appointed delegates, which delegates were
appointed without the knowledge of very
large majority of the people, or if they had
knowledge of it they treated it with scorn
and contempt. This Convention met at
Topeka and framed what they called Con-
stitution, and now they intend to apply for
admission into the Union, though they are
not more than 5000 voters in the Territory,
and not more that $4,000 or 10000 inhab-
itants, men, women and children. Now,
should Congress admit them what will you
do? I'll tell you what Pll do. If Congress
admits them into this Union, without law or
precedent, (nodding his head and lifting
high his hand very significantly I'll Re-
sIsT IT.
AToHIsoN's HOPES OF HEAVEN.
Now what will l advise you to do? I
am an old man; not an ofice-seeker. You
are entitled to my advice, and you shall
have it; and not only that, but my arm (hold-
ing it up iercely very high,) for l value
