Backed Out. LA Brooks !

It will be remembered that bully Brooks
challenged several Free State men to fight.
At last he hi, upon Burlineame of Mass,
who accepted his challenge. when Brooks
backed out with paltry excuse
M'Cay, of Ga, last week also challenged
Mr. Bowen of Pa, to public discussion.
The challenged party (as was his right
named his day, and Committee was np-
pniuted to arrange matters on his side.
The day camc-the hour-and Mr.. Bowen
appeared-but N Cay (lik, Brooks) Uos
missing! The discussion which
the Buchanauites have attempted to agi-
tate and mislead the public-did not come
off, simply because the challenger was alb
sent. lie spoke at Danville, Wednesday
evening, and we suppose might have been
here to conduct the debate if he had chosen.

They re-olved in favor of the Kansas and

Convention which endorsed all that Pierce
has done-and Buchanan and Breckenridge
IN full.
The nominees are respectable citizens.
bu, none Of them IN any respect superior IN
ability or honesty to those on the Union tick
e. Both tickets being composed Of personal
ly unexcepuonable men, We hope 10 have one
campaign which shall not be marred bv per-
.onal abuse or depreciation. The position of
the candidates on the Great Question Of Lib
erty or Slavery for Kansas. must determine
their election. The triumph of those who
approve the Kansas bil. will be heraded as Its
triumph; the success Of the opponents Of the
Kansas inquites, will be TO record the voice
OF Union County in its condemnation.

clique to break up the Fremont meeting.
The space devoted to the labored efforts
proves that they are writhing under the
public condemnation. They know it was
. Fremont meeting-so called, and SO
ofhcered-and therefore they had no busi-
ness to interfere with it in any shape or
manner; the attempt to play Georgia and
Kansas on small scale, va. sisnslly re-
bukcd; and the plotters of the scheme We
hope have learned better manners, as we'll
ss to respect the legal rights Of others.
