a CONFESSION OF JUDCTENT.

The rejection of Pierce and Douglas, and
the nomination of Buchanan by the Cincin-
natl convention, is confession of Judgment
by the leaders of democracy. The only is
sue of any Importance before the people is
that which Pierce and Douglas have raised {:
viz, the question whether slavery shall be
confined to its present limits, or be made
national by being carried into the territories
under the authority of the United States.-
Pierce and Douglas, as we have said, Great
ed this issue by the repeal of the Missouri
Compromise, the passage of the Kansas-Ne-
braska bill, and by the attempt to put down
freedom and uphold slavery in Kansas by
force of arms. AS the real representatives
of this issue they appeared before the Gin
cinnati convention and asked nomination
at its hands. The convention gathered
from all parts of the nation, knew full we'll
that the people of the free states only asked
a clear opportunity to pronounce such asen-
tence of condemnation on these men and
their issue, as only millions of frcemen at
the ballot box can pronounce. The conven-
tion confessed judgment in this case between
slave driving democracy and the freedom
loving people, by rejecting Pierce and Doug
las, and nominating James Buchanan. The
issue which Pierce and Douglas created they
maintain in their resolutions; the men who
have raised that issue they dropped. It
was well understood at Cincinnati that the
only reason for this course was that the par
ty could not carry the load of public hatred
which Pierce and Douglas have brought on
themselves by their attempts to peryert the
whole power of the general government to
the uses of 100000 Shareholders. The con-
vention quailed before the storm, whose
distant thunders they already heard. They
slaughtered Pierce and Douglas in the hope
thereby to appcase the public wrath, as the
heather in the time of pestilence offer some
of their children TO their angry god, hoping
thereby to save the rest. The convention
approved Pierce's administration, but they
reject Pierce; they sanctioned the repeal of
the Missouri compromise, and the admission
of slavery into the territories solemnly con-
secrated to freedom, but they reject Doug
las the author of these doctrines. There is
not an intelligent man in the whole nation
who does not see in this course, the follow
ing things:
I. A confession of judgment;-an ad-
mission that the verdict of the people is
against slave democracy.
2. A confession of weakness;-a want of
confidence in their own doctrines, the sure
harbinger of defeat.
3. An utter contempt for the people,
manifested by a deliberate purpose to cheat
them into sustaining the administration of
Pierce and the doctrines of Douglas with
the name, James Buchanan.

"wHEN DOCTORs DISAGREE, &C..

When the telegraph announced the nom-
ination of Buchanan, the Democrat and
Messenger each came out with bulletin
The Democrat informs us that Buchanan
was nominated by reclamation; but the
Messenger had it by exclamation. There is
an evident meaning in this difference. We
may not be fully posted, but our private
opinion is that the Messenger, with an ap-
probation of the force of words, and of their
exact meaning, professed by none but itself,
intended by using exclamation instead of
acclamation, thereby to signify the intense
type of democracy which distinguishes it
above the Democrat. 1t would be wholly
uncharitable to suppose that an editor who
writes that Mr. Sumner "is generally always
foremost" in the war with slavery, should
be guilty of any blunders in his grammar
Or rhetoric.

An American anti-Fillmore Convention
was held in the 9th district TO elect dele
gates to the New York Convention, on the

hitherto supporters of Fillmore were pres

only union of all parties of the North

and that the delegates to New York should
go with the understanding that they support
no candidate except one who supports the
Springfield platform.
At Kansas meeting in Chelsea, nearly
500 were subscribed, in the aid Of the

Indian HostiIities. Ended
St. Louis, June 9.


The United States steamer Grey Cloud
has arrived from Fort Pierre, after an alb
sence of nearly year, She brings intelli-
gence that the difficulties with the Sioux
Indians have been adjusted according to
treaty stipulations of the council held in
March last, by Gen. Harney. All prisoners
and stolen property in possession of the In
dians were to be given up in seventy-fve
days from that date. On the 18th of May
some seven hundred lodges of Blackfeet,
Sioux, Omahas, Winnecoujos, Two Kettles
band, and Saniasees, came in and gave up
twelve prisoners forty-fve head of horses
and mules, and promised at the same time
implicit obedience to the demands of our
Government in future. This closes active
operations of the Sioux expedition. After
retaining the prisoners a few days, Harney
set them at liberty, being satisfied they
would conduct themselves well hereafter

Oregon.

From Washington the HeralFs cores
pondent states that the reports, received by
the last mail, from the superintendent of
Indian Affairs in Oregon are highly impor-
tant The steamer Mary was lying at the
Cascades. When the Indians made the
first attack she escaped down the river to
give notice of the outrage. The attack
lasted three days. Four hundred Indians
were engaged, of which 10 were killed and
II wounded; and the Cascade chief, with
13 warriors, were captured. The friendly
Indians are being collected on the Reserva-

1t any Of our readers wish to see verita-
bic animal of the above named breed, let
them visit the office of the Democratic Mes
senger; and if they will then and there read
the article in the last number of that paper
on the Sumner outrage, pausing at every
period and looking the editor in the face,
they will obtain such an idea of a dough-
face as will admit of no increase forever
This term was first applied by John Ran
dolph, of Roanoke, as an expression of his
whitening contempt for those men from the
north who were ever ready to do the dirtv
work of their southern masters. The man
who could write an article justifying or ey-
en- excusing the assault on Sumner, IS eyi-
IDENTIFY ambitious to be classed among dough-
faces, who are by universal consent the mean
est of mankind. 1t is pity that lickspit-
tie of such eminent genius had not wider
stage on which to exhibit his capacities for
grovelling. If the slave drivers knew his
merits he would not go unrewarded. But
alas,
"Ful many flower is born 10 blush unseen
And waste its sweetness on the desert air"
Our af1ietion IS, that the man who sees
in Summers speech fitting reason for a
murderous assault upon him while unarmed,
unwarned and confined in his seat by a
cowardly bully such as slavery breeds, may
receive no reward equal to his merits in this
world. We can think of but two positions
in which his great qualities would find a
suitable field for their development. One
would be a corporars Office in the army that
Is now overrunning Kansas, and the other,
that of an overseer to some southern wo-
man-whipper.

Plans of the Black Republicans.

1t is evident that the Black Republicans of
the North (says the Squatter Sovereign will
attempt to cast Kansas into the Union with
the s'b bogus constitution F" fixed up at Tope-
ka by Lane, Robson, and other traitors. It
is more than probable that such move will
be successfully made in the House of Repre-
sentatives, and an attempt made to force it
through the Senate by the threat of refusing
to vote money TO carry on the government
Should such dastardly means be resorted to,
who can but forsee the evil consequences that
must inevitably follow We can say this much
and we believe in doing so we express the
feelings of three-fourths of the citizens of
Kansas, that we will never be willing to enter
the Union on the terms proposed by the Black
Republicans. If we cannot be admitted with
a constitution of our choice, we will look to
other sources than an Abolition Congress for
government The sovereign people of Kan
sas are just as able to gouern and protec. them
selves as were the gallant Texan against the
dcspotic and tyrannical rule of Mexico Be-
fore the leap is taken, we caution them to
"look."

And the Know Nothings proper are chary Of
them, because they are afraid these men will de
ceive them, should they be elevated to the two
highest Offices in the government
The different factions may get up little feel
ing on the subject after while-but. for the nre-

are scarcely mentioned in this region of country
