of the Executive. The troops Of the United
States will at once be placed under charge
of men ready to execute tho Executive will.
The laws of the pretended Territorial Leg
islature of Kansas are the most infamous
and atrocious enactments ever heard oil.
Z" They are" said General Cas-, ga dis
grace TO the age in whieh we hre." The
House very properly attempted to limit and
control tho power Of the Executive in his
attempts to carry them into execution, but
have been struck down.
Many had hoped for better things. II
was thought that the Senate and the Presi'
dent could have been satisfied IL the power
of the President over the army was not linn
tied and the money granted for oil other
purposes, except to carry slavery into Kan

must be maintained in Kansas at all Haz
Yards. And after repeated refusals on the
part of the House, they wero at last CON-
PEELED to yield.

totally false.-Dmoer0.
Let us see. The democratic party re-
pcalcd the Missouri Compromise. This all

Compromise been retained, Slavery could
not have been extended. Now, in the low
est view, Slavery can DO extended whore,
before Its extension, il was not possible
The act of tho democratic party renders
Slavery possible, where, before, twas inn

Hannibal Hamlin-His Public Record

l. In lS45, as q member Of the House Of
Representative, HANNIBAL HAxELIS voted
against the joint resolution to amer Texas
Notwithstanding he had to oppose the pop,
ular decision of his party organization in so
doing.
In l847 HANNIBAL HAxLIN vote fot the
WTlmot Proriso in order to keep our pros.
pectiye acquisitions from Mexico FREQ from
the faint and the curse of sidreiy.
In 1913 HAANNIBAL HANlin voted in the
United States Senate for the slarery restrict,
ION clause in the bill for the organization
of the Territorial Government Of Oregon.
In 1850 HANNIBAL HANLIS voted to in.
sert similar slarery restriction in the bills
organizeing Utah and New Mexico, and
that measure failing he voted against the
bills organizing these Territories without q
slavery prohibition, and in 81 doing he OBJ
eyed the explicit instruction Of the Demo
cratic Legislature Of Maine.
In the same year (l85O HANNIBAL HAN.
LIy's voice was the first raised in the U. s.

mission Of California as free State, and
his speech on this question was one of the

In the same year HlNNNIBAL HAxLN vot.

1854 HANNIBAL HANLN voted against that

Garrison Prefers Buchanan (!

In recent article William Lloyd CARR
son says:
"we dissent from the sentiment that
{ the disposition to dissolve the Union u
very slight now'-for 1t is widespread and
growing stronger every hour, and will un-
doubtedly be greatly increased by the tri-
umph Of border rufianism' in the person Of
James Buchanan. There is strong ground
for believing that he will be the last Presi.
dent Of the United States, in which case the
jubilee is not far distant"
That is the way It is-those who are look
ing for the jubilee" Of disunion, are cal
culating upon the instrumentality of Bucha-
nan. Such men rs Toombs and Benjamin
stand linked together with Garrison and
Remondi in preferring Buchanan to Fremont!
But the true conservative party oppose and
defy these extremists. They 80 for the I'm.
ion, because they mean to save the guaran-
teed rights and liberty which vitalizc the
Union and make it eternal. For this reas-
on they have selected John @. Fremont, who
nobly declares:

PRESIDENCY, SHOULD KNrER UPON THE IKE
cUTIoN OF ITS DUTIES WITH A sINGLE.HEARrED

Look out for Lies.

Our opponents are desperate. Just in
proportion as they find it impossible to sus-
tain themselves by facts and arguments,
they are inclined to resort to falsehood and
Islander.
Henry Ward Beechcr has we'll said, "this
campaign Is to be one of eminent and abound.
ing falsehood. 1t will rain and hail lies
They will come like gnats and locusts, like
frogs and murrain. Let no man be alarm.
cd" Republican candidates and those who
take prominent part in favor of the Re
publican cause, must expect to "walk in q
storm of FIRE and birthstone" We have
had limitations of some +" last card " lies
which they intend to bring outagainst some
of our candidates, when 1t is too late tc
contradict them. We trust that no ont
will be misled or deceived by them, and tina,
all will be on their guard to warn Others. |

Let It be remembered!

First, that erery Buchanan man in the
Senate pOsed against the admission Of Kan
sa, under the Topeka Constitution.
Second, that erry Buchanan man but one
in the House VOTED AGAINST similar bill,
and it was defeated.
Thirdly, that erery Buchanan man but one
in the House, VOTED AGAINST reconsidera-
lion of the vote by which the bill was lost.
Fourthly, that when tho reconsideration
of the bill was carried, erry Buchanan man
in The House but one AGAIN VOTED AGAINST its
passage, bot this time the friends Of free
dom succeeded.
Here the record shows that the Buchanan
party in Congress has intaeribiy opposed, on
all OCCASIONS The only measure-a measure
alike of justice and good policy-rhieh can
secure peace in Kansas. and yet the Repub'
lican party is charged by dough.faces as op'
posed to the pacifcatlon Of that territory,
