BLOODY 00OEA
When the Heterogeneous conglom
GRAFTON OF antsgonistic factions Of the
Northern States was drawn together,
II the tehest Of Seward, Greeley, did
dings, and Fred. Douglas, under the
baptismal name OF Republican. the
plan Of operation prescribed for pre-
serving cohesion, was that Of feeding
the public mind, already excited by
the repeal Of the Missouri Compro-
mise, with accounts Of outrages in
Washington and Kansas, and inAa-
ming the sectional hatreds against
Southern Institutions. by monstrous
Hctions, calculated to draw into the
ranks Of this dangerous party, every
shade Of ism, that would in any consid-
cradle degree augment and strengthen
the party.
Kansas was 10 be the great theatre

the metropolitan presses Of the East,
the filthy conduits through which this
political poison was to be poured out
upon the people to turn their minds
from the great issues OF the canvass. :

the people Of the North, by falsely

Kansas the authorship oil che whole

which swept over Kansas. and then
pointed with horror to the effects

confusion in Kansas, until after the
Presidential election; their cold-blood-

their unsuccessful attempt to prepare
for civil war by defeating the Army
Bill, has covered them with disgrace,
add so completely uncovered their
heartless hypocrisy, that tremendous
reaction Is now gong on. certain to
give their party Il most overwhelming
defeat.
The smoke oi fiction having cleared
away, their robes appear covered with
blood shed by them i'll Kansas They
cannot escape the accusation. and they
now shrink from the horrible conse-
quences Of their own reasonable acts.
In the language of one of our contem-
poraries, We would ask
And now, who is responsible for
this state OF things. We say, and
the people OF this country will say,
that the hands Of these Black Repub-
fcan leaders and agitators are red NTH
the blood O, their romntrymen. THEy
are the authors OF this fratricidal war.
They have set these hostile armies in
array upon the prairies OF Kansas. -
They hive made widows and orphans

dignant people will burn against them,
drive them from the public walks Of
men and hunt them in their hiding
places.
Fortunately for the country, one
part OF the programme Of these con
epirators was unsuccessful. The army
was not stricken down. The blow was
struck at the regular session with sue
cess but the fugitives from honor and
from duty were recalled by the procla-
nation Of the President, and willing
under the gathering frowns OF the peo-
pie, they yielded to their fears and the
Army Bill passed. The government
will therefore be able, without long de-
lay, and We hope without much loss of
life, or even conflict, to suppress VIC
lence in Kansas, and restore public
peace.
