The Iowa Capital Reporter publishes the oath
Of Mr.. Webster, taken before the Clerk of the
District Court Of Clark county, that he was in
company with certain gentlemen, and among
them Mr.. Wooden, who designed establishing
a depot and forming committee whose business
it should be to assist in getting armed men thro'

tenor twenty thousand young men en- route foi
Kansas, to assist Gov. Robinson and his party
there. He also states that there were oaths and

Strike the word white" from the

.There are. thousands Of negro loving pcti
fiohs printing IN this city, and being circulated
over the State for the purpose of operating upon
'the. Fusion Legislature that rc-cOnvenes here
next winter, to finish work it dared not present

Highly encouraged by their success in break
ing up the old whig party and reconstructing it
on the abolition basis, we see new developments
everyday, and we shall soon have fair and open
negro fight, with disguises off.
The object ofthese cart-loads of petitions pre-
pairing to food the State can easily be seen by
reading a copy. Here it is:

The Republican leaders and edit ors are con-
stantly harping upon whaG they are pleasedto
term the "horriblc extension ofslavcry," which
has occurred since the organization of our gov.
ernment. Let us look at the facts. When our
constitution was adopted the Union consisted
of t.CeyUe Shlv3 States and one Free State. Now
we have flteen SlaUe states and sirteea free ones.
The advance of freedom has been as fifteen
to three, or fire to one, as compared to slav-
cry. A further fact can be S hOwn that ace hGreG
less an'oa'@ Of S'ape lawtoy 7--States q@ aRef
co,use-tlat0 0e hql toiea tic oil eoafeleratpe g0p-
eyau.eat mts o,yqnizel, notwithstanding the vast,
increase ofour territorial dimensions; and, in the
face OF all this, men, pretending to be houcstand
intelligent, go around the country mouthng a.
bout aggressions of slavery, when they very
we'll know, but are not honest enough to admit;
that by no act, legislative or odIeeeise on the lp't
of fhtis government, has slaVe,y been eftea let TO
free Territory, but, on the contrary tyYitay ac-
qpitel as Slave his been nlafs fire By The act Of
the p.op'e. The relative dimensions Of the slave
a nj free territories, com oarei with the pe-
riod of the adoption of the Constitution, will
show an Overwhelming preponderancc in favor
of the latter. ,p, .
But further: This increase of Slave States is
not attributable to our laws, but to the laws Of
the countries which we acquire them, They
'eere acquired as slace 1e,rieo,y Kansas, Ne
braska, Iowa, Oregon and Washington Terrific
rics were all acquired as slave, and they are all
to come in as free States. Utah, and New
Mexico are to come in free beyond all question,
which will make the comparative increase Of
free and slave States as twenty is to three, or
more than Serep to one.
With such truths within thereach and COM
prchension ofevcry lnanin the land, should not
the whining hypocfts who are seeking office un.j
der an assumed opposition to the aggressions Of
the slave power,n as they cali it,, be scorned
and secuted by every intelligent man in the
country2 Can impudence based upon the pre-
sumptive ignorance of the people? q h gl ,ma

Another swinale Detected.

The editor of the Cadiz Republican published
in his last paper what purported to be circu-
lar from leading Democrats at Washington, cal
ling on the Deputy Post Masters throughout
the country to contribute money to carry on the
campaign. Said circular is signed by one
'sPERRIN M. BROWN, Jr.," to whom 7. Ms.
are requested to send their spare change The
whole thing is. a base swindlc, and so known to
be by Mr.. Hatton when he published it in his
columns. The Washington Union exposed the
trick over two weeks ago, and every editor in
the country, particularly the sharp ones like
brother Hatton, have known for that length of
time at least, the fraudulent character Of the
Perrin NJ Brown circular The Union sta
ted that there was no such person known in
! Washington as Perrin NJ Brown"-that the
circular was a trick Of some swindler to raise
the wind, and thus cautioned Postmasters agairst
it. But with all this light before him, Mr.. Hat
ton who affects to possess an unusual share of
candor, gives currency to the swindle, and pub
fishes the circular as genuine call from the
Buchanantes for help Such conduct Mr. Hat
ton, is bare faced swindle on your own part,
and very mean attempt to impose upon the
credulity of your readers.
! Finally, we clinch the fraud by the following
letter from the Postmaster General.
