Kansas Kansas /!

If the public needed any oibet proof that
the whole cutlery about ruiianism IN Kansas
has been got up purd;y for political effect, it
may be found in the fact that The Black Re-
publican majority in The House of Represent
%atives, in Congress, have not made The slight
es; attempt 10 put a stop 10 the outrages which
have been committed 10y ''BoTder Rufians''
from Missouri and "Puritan Rufians" from
New England-the Round Heads, or Riff
Christians. If the Black Republicans coult
elect a Speaker Of the House, they could hay'
passed a law long be fore this 10 have settled
Rufionism in Kansas, come from VIII al quartz
it might. AT least they could have tried, i
they had been disposed. No. So long as pc
litieal capital can be made for their faction
they will prevent a settlement OF lie question
If possible.

An ohscura Mani

The opposition found great fault with the
Democratic party, in 1914 and 1852, for put
ting up what they were pleased to designate
''obscure and untried men" (but which was
not true in point OF fact,) for the Presidency.
And now, forsooth, this same opposition
have placed a certain JoHN G. Fremont in
nomination, Of whom SO little is really known
that his own friends and supporters differ as Il
his place Of residence! Some speaks of"Col
Fremont Of Cal for7iia"-others of"Col Ere
mont OF South Carolina"-and others still o
"Col. Frement Of New York" 1t is yer,
probable they all refer 10 The same man! BuI
what q commentary on a Presidential candi
date!
Such is The standing Of the'man whom those
who sneered at the "obscurity" of Polk and
Pierce have nominated t. run'against JAMES
BUCHANAN, a statesman Of forty years expert
ence, whose fame is world wide, and who has
earned great distinction in the Legislature oil
his native Stare, in the U. S. House Of Repre-
Isentatives, and Senate, in the Cabinet aud in
the fields Of Diplomacy al the two proudesI
Courts OF Europe! Was ther. ever mole bare.
faced Inconsistency exhibited to the gaze oil

nnnoi. Certain for Buchanan.

The Chicago Times of the 18Th inst. puts
the following crusber on The idle talk abous
the result in Illinois;
I'VE observe that persons OF distance
seem 10 put some faith in statements that there
is q possibility that Illinois will vote fol Free
mont. We know that it has been said, and
positively averred by Black-Republicsn ora
tors, that Illinois would vote the oppos lion
ticket. Such an idea, when expressed here,
is considered too stale even for o joke. No
man in his senses thinks OF this State voting
for any one but Buchanan. As we said when
Mr.. Buchanan was nominated, the Democracy
Of Illinois will give him a larger majority, in
proportion TO the entire vote, than be will OBJ
lain in Pennsylvania. ANY Pennsylvania ed.
itor who wants TO lose a hat on that PROPOSE
ton may apply for our inessnfe al once"
Illinois never has, since it became a State,
voted against the Democracy at a general
electiOn--iiot even in the dark days Of 1910
and 1854. Her invincible Democracy, led on
by those gallant champions. Douglas and
Richardson. will roll up next fall for Btehass
an twenty thousand majority.

Our Prediction.

The abolition papers in this State are MAJ
king . great noise about the popularity OF their
woolly- horse candidate, and all their big and
little Williams, from Greenport to Dunkirk, are
Boosting that he will carry The State by fifty
thousand majority. There never was more
froth on a little substance than oil this talk
and hullabaloo about Fremont's popularity
The St wardiies have subsidized the press, and
mean. if possible, 10 carry The day by much
Dragging and max ingpeople believe that every
body is for Fremont.
Now, we put on record, in The face OF all
these boaslings the following prediction. Cut
il out, reader, and put il in your wallet:-

National Drmocrat-just such a man as would
honor any post in the gift Of Ire people of his
District or of the State. With PUGH in the
