The Compcnsation bin.

We stated last week that some of the more
reckless of our political opponents hereabouts
were circulating the story that Major SArr, our
able representative in Congress had voted for
increasing wages of Congressmen. This is false,
and the men who circulated the story knew
that they We're lying when they told it. We
do think that man who will wilfully make up
lie for the purpose of injuring political op-
ponent, is no better than he who tells lie for
for the purpose of injuring his neighbor's bust
ness and that either of them would steal if thev
had the chance to do so without ineurring the
penalties of the law.
Below we give the vote of the Ohio Delega-
tion in Congress on the passage of the Bill.
Major SAPP voted against it in all the shapes it
took in its progress through the House. A loco
foco remarked TO us the other day that they in
tended to beat SAPP this fall. We replied that
it looked a good deal as they were determined
to do so, by fair or foul means. well, +" he re-
piled we are bound to do it, if we can do it one
wav, We can another" Just so. That's the
game. Look at their Misrepresentation of his
vote on DuGl amelQmeHt. DuI IHe vote
on the Compensation Bill. The total vote on
the passage of the Bill was yeas. 100; Nays rs.
The vote of the Ohio Delegation stood as fol-
lows:
YEAs-Edward Ball, Joshua r. Giddings,
John Scott Harrison, Oscar F. Moore, Cooper K.
Waison.-5. e. I.'...
NAYs-Charles ]. Albright, Philemon Bliss,

ward Wade-13. ...
The entire delegation from South Carolina
voted yea, as did also that of Massachusetts.
1t was not made a party test. both parties voting
for and against it. 1t was left for some of the
little souled, unprincipled politicians of Holmes
county to try to make political capital out if,
by misrepresenting Major SApr's vote. But it
won't do, gentlemen, such course will recoil on
your heads. Beat Mr.. SApP fairly if you can,
and he will be the last man to complain, but do
not resort to conduct so mean that it will nau-
seate on your own stomachs-if you have any.

This the pro-slavery men well know. 1t
provides that at an election to be held No
vember next, for the election of members
to Convention to form State Constitu-
ton, no one shall vote sunless he shall have
been an inhabitant of the Territory on the
4th of July, 1885," except those who shall
have absented themselves in consequence
of the disturbances therein, and who shall
return before the first day of October next,
and prove to the satisfaction of the Gov
ernment Commissioners that they left in
consequence of the disturbances. For some
time previous to the passage this bill by
the Senate, Free State men were not per-
mitted to enter Kansas. A body of South
Carolinians and Border Ruffians organized
into militia companies under the bogus
laws of the Territory, with the government
arms in their hands, intercepted them, even
if they were so fortunate as to reach the
borders of Kansas; while slavery men were
left free TO enter. If anything is wanting
to satisfy any man who is desirous of arriv-
ing at the truth of the deceptive character
of this bill, think it would be found in the
fact that a Constitution formed by a Con-
vention thus elected under the management
of the present administration is not to be
submitted to the people for their approval.
This, l believe, is the first instance when
Constitution for State Government has
authorized to be formed, and put without
submission of its final ratification to the
vote of the people, but to do so in this
might hazard the interest of slavery
Hence the Constitution is proposed to be
forced upon the people of Kansas without
their approval, and this suppose Mr..
Douglas and his colleagues would have the
people believe is Democratic, and carrying
out the principles of popular sovereignty.
Who would be so eredulous as to believe,
that if this bill is passed under such eircum-
sta1c, S. there would not beshown to the sat
istaction of the Government Commission
ers, Pro-Slavery majority in Kansas on
the fourth day of July instant! If this
bill should become Il law, the only hope
for Kansas becoming Free State will be
in Congress refusing to admit her with a
Slave Constitution, obtained through fraud
and violencc-and this can only be accom-
plished by decisive and firm expression Of
tke Freemen of the North.
Then let each elector who believes that
this fine Territory, situated in the geograph
ical center of our country, should be the
home of respectable white laborers, instead
of being monopolized by slave owners, with
all the attending evils, cast his vote in a
manner to bring about such result
Slavery or Freedom must have it. 1t is
fallacy to talk about joint occupancy by
white and slave laborers, unless We are
willing to degrade white laborers to level
socially and morally with the slaves.

In another column, says the Sandusky Regis
ter, we give the letter of EXIT. Gov JAMES
Myers, repudiating all further connection with
the Democracy" which proposes to elect Mr.
BUCHANAN. This ''defection" will cause great
sensation. among the Democratic leaders in par
tieular, since Mr.. MYERS has been one of the
leading men of that party in Ohio, and in North
Western Ohio his influence is very great Such
leader the Democracy can lily afford TO lose !;
and, at this moment, following upon the recent
declaration for Fremont and DAYroS, made bv
the radical Democracy of New York, it is mall
apropos for Mr.. BUoHAsAs's success. The
grounds of Mr.. MYERS compliant will be found
by perusal of his bold and unequivocal letter,
which we commend TO the candid perusal of all
particularly of those Democrats who, possess
ing Free State sentiments, yet support JAMES
BUCHANAN and the Cincinnati Platform of
principles.
NJ. MYERS, it may be mentioned, was Demo-
| cratic Lieut.. Governor in 1884, and was run
on the State ticket, with MEDILL, in 1855, but
was defeated. He has also been State Senator,
elected, of course. by the Democracy" And
lie had been talked of for Governor, by the
Democrats, at several State Conventions of
Ohio.
The Toledo Elade says "the very able and con-
elusive letter which We published yesterday
from Gov. MYERS, creates quite a sensation in
our city. The Gov. has long been a distin-
guished politician, has held conspicuous
| place in his party and has been a faithful ad-
herent through many years of the Democratic
policy. He does not now repudiate that policy;
but he repudiates the party leaders that have
abandoned it. Like the radical Democracy of
New Yoek. having followed his party as far as
he could without doing absolute violence TO his
sense justice and right he leaves it to run its
career, of despotism, anarchy and wiekedness
and takes position on the platform of JErFEssoS
in favor of Liberty and against Slavery.

The Affairs in Kansas.

The Affairs in Kansas.
The columns of the Republican are occupied
this week to very great extent with the most
exciting and at the same time the most sieken-
ing and painful news, with. reference to the af-
fairs of Kansas, that we have up to this time
been called upon to publish. ''ATcHrsox, STRING
FELLOW d Co.. were in earnest when they an
nounced to their Border Ruffian followers, their
determination to exterminate the Free State set
tiers, and DOUGLAS meant precisely what he said
mocratic party and Representative of the Nation
al Administration, he emphatieally declared '',re
,riN suJf,sc you." The movements in Kansas for
several months past, have been in keeping with
these threats. The strength of the Border Ruff
fans, and the powers of the National Govern
ment, have combined to accomplish the subiu-
CATION of the Free State settlers, and the news
from Kansas and Washington, which the people
shows that few finishing strokes only, which
will speedily be given, are required to accom-
plished this villainous Predetermined purpose.
This news while it will be the cause ef rejoic-
will send thrill of indignation through the
hearts of the people of the North. that will lead
to such direction of their strength at the bal
lot-box, as will burl from power the corrupt and
despotic Government under whose iron rule, a
nation that four years ago was in the enjoyment
of domestic peace, has been reduced to state
of civil war.
But the end was seen from the beginning.
The object of the repeal of the Missouri Com
promise, and the enactment of the Kansas-Ne-
brlska Bill. was TO establish slavery in Kansas.
This was distinctly charged by the opponents
of the Administration, and although it was de-
MED by the leaders of the Pierce Democracy in
the North, yet they hesitated not to direct their
efforts in favor of slavery extension, and at last
the end has been reached. Now. no man need
be mistaken as TO the design Of those men who
disturbed the peace of the country. Slarery has
been established in Kdasas. The laws of the Ter
ritorial Legislature, establishing and protecting
slavery, and providing for the punishment by
imprisonment, and even by death, of those who
may interfere with the institution, or write or
speak word against it, have been fully recog-
nizcd by the U. S. Government, and are to be
enforced by the Q. S. troops. Thus Kansas has
been subdued, and so far slavery has triumphed
over freedom, and this triumph is the triumph
of despotism over liberty, and this despotism
has been exercised by the so-called Democratic
President of the United States. This species
of dempcracy peculiar to the thrones OF Russia,
France and Rome, but it was never thought of
by our patriotic iorefathers, who fought the bat
ties of liberty, and adopted the Constitutin Of
freedom.

A Lie Nailed.

The Editor of the Coshocton Democrat for
want of something encouraging TO say of his
party in his own county, is Dragging over other
counlies. Twas just SO. when he resided in
Holmes county, and the Democracy were fast
going down at the heel. He could always tell
of some other place, where there were large
gains for the Democracy. tr
In his last issue, he puts down JOHN, CHARLES
and SAMUEL UHL, and their sons, ,'of this county
as going for BUCHANAN. This is false in every
particular, and he would not dare to tell either
of them SO 10 their faces. They are all first
rate men, and are going for Fremont and Free.
dom. They never wavered for moment as to
their duty in this contest, nor never will when
the issue is between Freedom and Slavery.

eE-One of the Democratic Mass Meetings
appointed by the State Buchanier Committee
came off at Sandusky on Friday last. An idea
of its magnitude can be gathered from slip
we cut from the Register, as follows:
"An old citizen from Margareita-Mr. McC..
coming into town, happened to meet the band
parading the streets, headed by the Marshal and
followed by half-a-dczen boys. What is all
this for?" said Mr.. McC. "Why," said friend,

On. theirs as the only possible chance of beating
Fremont. To this arrangement the Southern
BUCHANAN papers do not seem to be very hostile.
The Richmond Enquirer says it would have no
objections TO enirust the destines of the South in
the hands of Mr.. FILLMORE, of course not. On the
other hand, the BUCHANAN papers in the North
are down on their knees imploring the Know
Noihings TO drop FILLMORE and help them.
These same men whom they so recently de-
nounced as midnight assassins," "murderers of
innocent women and ehildren"-whom the
Dutch and Irish were called on to hate, are
now coaxed and courted TO come over to BucH-

course is DOM, DOWN, DOWN. The recent

Southern Elections.

The papers ofthe Black Democracy rejoice over
the result of the recent elections in Kentucky,
Missouri, Arkansas, DC. Can anything better
demonstrate the .pro-slavery character of Buch-
anan and his platform? The slavery majorities
are big in the States named, nobody claimed
that they would be otherwise. BUCHANAN being
the candidate of the slavery extentionists, and
FREMONT the candidate of freedoms hosts, what
man in his senses, calculate on the latter getting
a single vote in the Slave States. No one
makes any calculations of the kind. But the
yeomen in the Free States intend to give vote
for Fremont that viii overtop the Slavery py-
ramid. high as it is. Iowa, Vermont, and
Maine have already laid the corner stones,

The Glorious Victory in Maine:

List week we announced an overwhelming
triumph of Republicanism in Maine. The
Black Democracy have been routed there hoof
and dragoon, and the few Straight Wings,
who played into their hands, have been COM
pletely annihilated.
The Republican victory in Iowa. was a great
one; the Republican victory in Vermont was
greater; but the Republican victory in Maine
was the greatest of all. The latter has secured
a Republican Governor. Republican Legisla-
ture, a full Republican delegation to Congress.
and Republican United States Senator. This
victory is the more important, because it indi-
Gates the comparative strength of FREMONT and
BUCHANAN in the North.
So confident were the Black Democracy OF
carrying the State that they openly avowed if
the Republicans succeeded in Maine, Fremont
would get the vote of every Northern State.
Maine has been one of the strongest of Demo-
cratic States. and the last election was bitterly
contested by the Administration party. They
had speakers there from dozen different States,
exhorting the Democracy 10 stick to PIERCE,
DOUGLAS and Slavey extension. But they spurn-
ed the traitors from them and voted for Free
dom. So will the whole North.
