Patriot Falsehoods.


Mr.. BoYcE,-Dear Sir For fear there may
be som, few persons left in this County, who
think it possible for the Editor of the Patriot
to tell political truth, and thereby may be de-
ceived by his fasehoods or receptions, l will
notice two out of the many in his last issue OF
July Is.

lie says g there is another feature In this Kan
sas Bill. By it all the odious test oaths and
laws are repealed, and the People will be
startled when they are told that their Repeal Is
resisted by the Republican Party and its ora
tors "
! Oh, for shame, Mr.. Eastman Do you sup
pose that what there is left Of the Administra-
ton Party know only what you tell them !
You insult the intelligence Of your readers by
classifying the Record What is the Record .
An amendment was offered Ito Toomb's Kansas
Bill, which was reported by Douglas) by Mr..
Geyer, saying that mo law shall be made or
have force requiring test oaths of voter or ju-
ror, or prohibiting the free discussion or express
sion of Opinion" All the Republican SeDa-
tors present voted for the amendment, Mr..
iIamlin being absent. All the opposition to
the amendment came from the Border Rufian
side
When the whole bill was put upon its pas
sage, the Republican Senator's voted against it
because it contained a recognition of the Terri
torial Legislature Of Kansas, which was fraud
and is SO proved by three hundred witnesses un-
der oath, as shown by the Report of the Con-
gressional Committee because census of the
inhabitants was forced now, and a vote in No
vember, the injustice of which will be readily
seen when it is understood that the Free State
leaders are in prison, and large portion of the
Free State men are driven ont of thu Territory :;
and the Territory being held by the Border
Rufhans and their abettors, the Free State men
cannot return while countless horles may 90
in from Missouri and avail themselves of the
c'nsus section, AMI thereby become voters in
November, and finish the outrages by making
Kansas Slave State. And only think. for
Eastman to expect Republican Senator'S to sup
port bill Tin the wbole) drawn up by Toombs,
who, after mature deliberltion and thought,
declared in the United States Senate, that the
act Of Brooks assauting Senator Sumner (for
exposing the crimes against Kansas) met his
cordial APPRECIATION.

States that the Boston Herald is neutral in
politics, but with Anti-Domocratic tendencies
lie then quotes largely from the Herald to build
up his own party and to defame Fremont, and
break down the Republican Party.
NOW FOR TIE FACTS
So far as he says, the Herald is Anti Demo
cratic in its tendencies if he means true Je.-
fersonian Democracy, which is opposed to the
extension of Slavery, and which the Major once
was, and now ami will grant he is correct
bat if he means it is against the Bogus Slavery
Extending Democracy, as represented by the
Major now, he states that which he must know
to be incorrect. Edwin G. Bailey, Pierce
Boston Postmaster, having become the larges
proprietor of that paper within the year, is do
ing what he can through its columns to I'D
vance Buchanan and break down Fremont
In conclusion, would say to my Old Linz
friends, do not believe any political statemen
of the Patriots without it is corroborated BY
some reliable political paper; and you vii
thereby save yourselves from much modification
and ridicule which would attach to you as thu
retailers of the errors and untruths of that pa
per. Yours for Freedom, CALAIS.
