urge his neighbors to do likewise.
The Campaign before Us.

In nominating Buchanan, the self styl-
ed Democracy have in some slight de-
gree yielded to the force Of that public
opinion which has branded the Pierce
Douglas administration with its severest
condemnation. The people have so
unanimously and Enthusiastically declar-
ed against the men who have broken
down the barrier which kept slavery
out of Il e territories, and by this means
have brought upeR the country the dis
grace and accumulated horrors of the
border.rufian war, that even the slave
ocratic praty dared not nominate either
of them to that Office, for the sake OF
which all their crimes were committed.
Buchanan was nominated with less OPP
position than any prominent candidate of
the Democratic party has met in any
convention held for a dozen years past.
The reason why the opposition was so
weak is obvious.
The delegates from the northern states
knew the temper of their people well
enough to be certain that either Pierce
or Douglas would not enter the field
with even q shadow Of a chance for sue
cess. Buchanan had been absent from
the country most of the time since the
Kansas agitation was commenced, and
had on that account taken but little &C
tive part in the discussion. He possess
ed, therefore, many of the advantages of
a new man, who would be less obnoxious,
personally, than either of the other lead
ing candidates.
In insisting upon this nomination, the
Democracy of the northern states show
ed that they felt the force of public cen
sure and we're willing TO abandon TO their
fate a Jonah or two, in the hope that the
storm of popular Indignation might thus
be ~appeased. But like all frightened
rogues they were hypocritical even in
their appearance of penitence. Had
they dared to take a manly stand ard
declare their utter condemnation Of the
Kansas act and the repeal of the Mis-
souri, restriction, they might possibly have
persuaded the nation that they meant to
do "works meet for repentance" but
instead of taking any such honest course,
we find them, Ike arrant towards, deser-
ting their leaders and turning their backs
upon them, while they applaud the poll
cy those leaders have p%ersuedl They
declare that they heartily adopt and
sanction the whole course of the admin
istration, from the bom~bardment of Grey
town up to the Kansas infamy and tbs
wholesale murder of American citizens
in cold blood, yet they meanly abandon
the men who have acted out this glori-
Gus scene in our nations history.
The case, then, stands thus: The
democratic party unanimously approve
of the Kansas act; they declare that
Pierce was only upholding the dignity

all citizens will give aid to the officers in
the performance of their duties.

VIM. H Bissau. ofnljnois

This gentleman has been nominated
for Governor Of Illinois, by the oppon-
ents of the Nebraska bill. Mr.. Bissel
has always been a firm and reliable
democrat, and never ceased TO act with
that party until tested out of it by the
~newfangled dogma which Douglas and
Pierce have seen proper to incorporate
into the democratic platform, by which
Kansas AeJroSka Bill is endorsed as Il
'',oiSe and just measure" and. all men
who refuse to take this test are excluded
from the Democratic party.
In the contest between a democrat
like Bissel. and a tool of the nullitier>
Ike Richardson, we are cordially in IA
yor of BisselPs election and we are of
the opinion that his nomination will have
the same effect upon Douglas and Rich
ardson, that ''tbe muskets at TWENTY-FIVE
PAGES" had upon JEFF. Davis, when the
latter gentleman sent a challenge to Bis
sell JEFF. backed down withou! fighting.
and so will Douglas and Richardson.-
