Randolph Ultra Abolitionism

MEssRs. EDITORS The Black Republi-
can ticket Of this county is an omen of the
real character of the party. 1t is worthy Of
remark that this party in this county has an
able advocate, namely, the Randolph County
Journal, with its casing editor. Mr.. T.
BRowNE This dog-skin sheet has been at
wal with the principles Of self-government
and the Democratic party, ever since the
various isms, Of which the Republican party
is formed, fused together. For the informa-
ton Of part of our Democratic friends, !
will just state the isnas of which this party
in this county, is formed: First, the old
ultra Abolitionists have not changed, but are
on the old track, and have been lately joined
BY the Know Nothings, who hourished in
'54. bnt have since died. aud are no more
known by that name. But as soon as it was
known that j. C.. Fremont, Zone of their
broshers.) was nominated as the candidate
for the Chief Magistracy, they were resur-
rectcd and came forth under the disguise OF
Repnblicanism, and rallied together with
the old AbolitiOnists under that name, which
both parties thought less Objectionable than
their old names and here in Randolph,
where they want to get all of the Old Line
Whigs to Join their black ranks but think
that, that old patriotic party of this county,
like its leader, HENRY CLAY, is too much de-
voted 10 the Union and its preservation to
giye that NIaaER HUGGING faction any coun-
tenauce here. Another Ingredient of this
faction Is made up of the renegades from
/ the Old Line Democratic and Whig parties,
and this desertion from these old patriotic
uarties has cause, and this cause Is found
/ i'm the fact that those renegades were not so
snccessful In obtaining those stations of profit
and honor. which they So ardently desired,
as they had hoped to be. And now under
the disguise above mentioned, they are try
inc to keep the people Ignorant OF the real
cause of the troubles in Kansas, and TO pro-
duce as much excitement as possible and
now. since they have been trying this method
NJ suppressing the truth aud raising excite
ment. thai casing editor, in his usual dicto-
rial manner, is still belching ont his enmity
AZ the Democratic party, and says that Ran
dolph is good for 1000 majority in favor o.
such N,00erispl. This is all Fusion brag II
