Black Republican Opinion OF the Ger.
mans.

In Chicago, Ottawa, &C., the fusionists
have had serious hopes of inveigling few
Germans into the support of Fremont and
the Know Nothing state ticket. There has
been no limit, therefore, to the extravagant
love they have professed for the Germans
and the "sweet German accent" In the
Western Reserve, Ohio, however, the FIRE.
monters and Know Nothings are in the same
Boat, and the Germans are all Democrats.
The language Of the fusion organs in that
region is accordingly somewhat different in
reference to the "dear Germans" as the fol.
lowing, from a prominent fusion organ,
printed at Bluegrass, (near Cleveland) will
show:
"Look at our village-how it is dsgraced
by those little nuisances known by the name
of groceries. all kept by the dirty Dutch.
who are unfit for anything decent In fact.
our country is cursed bv horde of FOREIGN
BEGGARs, TIE FILTHY OUTPOURINGs OF BEsorrEp
GERMANY Down with them and their
abominable works of iniquty! Let us elect
a man who despises, abhors, and repudiates
breweries, groceries. cider sprees, and all
other d,sgraceful Dutch practices. Just
look, for moment, at this portion of our
population; they come among us beggars-
one starts grocery in the lower end Of Main
street, one at the Public Square, where
death and ruin are dealt out at three cents
glass"

Hr Editor.-Your comments last week
on paragraph cut from Springfield, MasR.,
paper, in reference to our towpsman, Mr.
Cogswell, does him injustice Mr.. c. uas a
prominent democrat and supported Pierce
in 1852, q regret he is not with US now y
has been the acting Mayor Of this city at two
different times. and oil concede he performed
the duties of the Office faithfully. know
you have no desire TO do injustice 10 any one
who has, by his intelligence and business
capacity, earned the reputation which Mr..
G enjoys in this community. The article
you commented on was doubtless intended
asa complim-n,to hi. racy manner Of speak
ing, the relatives of Mr.. c., who reside in
that region, probably having furnished the
editor with the information for political ,f-
feet. A DEAoCRAT.
We stand corrected. The circumstance
of Mr.. Cogswell having been actin: Mayor
had slipped our mind, and we we're not
aware that he supported Pierce in 1862 !;
but are now well assured such was the fact.
The more's the pity.

"IREPEAT THAT l NEVER CAN AND
NEVER WILL VOTE, AND NO EARTH
LY POWER WILL EVER MAKE ME-
VOTE TO SPREAD SLAVERY OVER
TERRITORY WHERE IT DOES NOT EX-
IST."-Henry Clay.
The above paragraph, with its capitals, is
paraded in the fusion papers, we suppose to
show that Mr.. Clay would have be-. n Black
Republican; as much as to assert, that the
Democracy would "uote to extend slarsry
ouer territory sohere 1T does not erist." The
Democratic party have never voted to ex-
tend the institution; THE BLACK RE-
PUBLICANS HAVE. Inpassing the Dunn
bill, they voted to establish slavery in Kan
sas and Nebraska, the first time in the or
ganizaton of the government, that the like
has ever taken place.

To judge by the fusion papers, one would
think all creation was going for Fremont
with rush. and that Buchanan would not
get an electoral vote north of the Ohio river
Democrats, however, are not scared in this
way-they have heard this casing before
At the head Of the newspaper press ad-
Socating Gen. Scott, in 1852, was the n Y.
Tribune, ROW at the head of those working
for Fremont On the goth of SeptembeS.
1852, and only few days after the election
in Maine, and while it was Dragging on more
than II 600 majority in that state against
the democracy, it paraded one Of It's gas
conade articles OF the same character OF
those which now fill the abolition press.
In that article il declared tina, " from
Maine to Iowa, from Buffalo to New Orleans,
the rally for Scott is spontaneous and uni
persal. Everywhere, as the Scott ranks are
formed, our friends are astonisted at their
strength"
After claiming Connecticut, Maryland,
Delaware, all of which went against Scott,
the Tribune, said New York has been
talked of doubtful state, which is sheer
humbug. Unless Pennsylvania out-does all
expectation, New York will give the argest
majority for Scot, Of any state in the Union.
If the present tide sweeps on, Pierce uill
hardly get Jifty electoral rotes. Friends Of
General Scott! We know whereof we affirm,
when we assure you that all goes yell. Eve
~ indication portends an overwhelming tri-
umph for Old Chippsaea."
Now compare this gassing with the results.
Scott got but four states in the Union, and
!, stead of Pierce getting but fifty rotes out
of ,,so hundred and ninsty-sir-Scott re-
ceixed but thirty tuo-all told.

10 tho Democratic Party Pro-SIavery |
The charge is constantly made by the fu- |
sionists that the democratic party is pro-
slavery-is in favor of slavery extension
Indeed, this is the burthen Of all their speech
es. editorials, and sermons. But where is
the proofP We will undertake to show that
the boot is on the other leg. Can the whole
fusion army point to a legislative measure,
adopted, supported, or proposed by the de-
mocratic party in Congress that extended,
or would have extended slavery oyer foot
of Tree soil? What is the position of the de-
mocratc party on the subject OF slavery?-
Read the Cincinnati pl,tform. Congress
cannot establish or prohibit slavery in the
States or Territories, nor delegate such pow
err This is the democratic position. If the
territory Of Kansas, therefore, is free, and
all admit it is, the democratic party are So
lemnly pledged against any legislation that
will establish slavery there. But" says
the fusionist, "the bogus legislature in Kan
sas did establish slavery there. and they de-
rived the power from the Nebraska bll."-
II is not true There is constitutional
question on which the North and South are
at variance. Northern democrats say the
territories are by nature free, slavery is the
creature of local, municipal law, and as Con-
gress has no power either to make or un.
make a slave, it can never establish slavery
in the territories nor authorize territorial
legislature to do it. The south admit that
Congress cannot itself, nor delegate power to
establish slavery in the territories, but con-
tend that the constitution carries it into al
the territories. The "bogus legislature" o.
Kansas acted on this southern view of the
question, and passed laws to REGULATE tn.
institution, but not to establish it. All o..
I fierce anti-slavcr; fusionists hav... now 10 4,

assert his rig, to frcedom-get decision
in Kansas court and then carry it up to tn
decide that the constitution does not carr,
slavery into Kansas, by its own force, thel
the democratic party north and south stan,
pledged by heir platform and most solem,
professions, to use the whole force of the U
S. army to drive slavery from Kansas as al
unconstitutional institution, which they de
nv the power Of Congress to protect or lie
gslize. But should the Supreme Court o
the O. S. decide that the constitution doe
carry slavery into Kansas, then Of course i
will 90 there and no legislation of Congress
no fusion President, and no power on esrtl
save a dissolution Of the Union can help it
! But what is the fusion doctrine? The,
say Congress has power to prohibit slavery
! in the territories, and if Congress can pro
/ hitit, it can also establish slavery. And wha
is fusion praetice' BY Dunn's bill they &C
tually did legalize and establish slavery il
Kansas for three years. Thus, by democra
tic doctrine and practice slavery never ha
been and can be lcgalized in Kansas,
fusion practice and doctrine slavery can BE-
and has been legaized in Kansas. Which

The Cincinnati Enquirer says that the
following facts cannot be kept too prominent
before the public:
: That all was peace and quiet in Kansas
mill the Black Republicans instigated the
traitor Lane to lead an armed band OF des'
Deradoes into the Territory and attacked .
ne.ceful settlement and put it to the hre
and sword.
Q. This was done knowing tina! the re.
sentiment throughout the Territory would
lead to reprisal and retaliation, and that they
could then set up the cry OF pr0-slaVery :ei-
fiansm and appeal to the free States Ter ala.
8. That this commencement Of civil war
is exulted over by the Black Republicans as
worth to them a hundred thousand votes.
4. That-Eaving commenced civil war for
the bascst political purposes-they charge
the consequences of their atrOcious acts up
on the Democracy, and expect that the in-
telligence of the people ia too little to see
through their infamous conspiracy, which is
- apparent as the sun.
| 8. That the Black Republicans in Con.
; gress voted against employing the United
States troops to preserve order in Kansas,
because they thou ht that, if bloody .trug
gle took place-as it certainly would with
much political capital.
6. That the Democratic United States Sc
nate repealed certain obnoxious laws in
Kansas but the Black Republican House re-
fused to concur since, by the continuance
Of these laws, they made political capital
z. There is not now and never Las been
any obstacle in the way of peace and c..,et.
ude in Kansas, except the fs-, that such
peace and iuist would .nJure the Black Re.
p"Sncans at .ue elections
O. nat the principle Of the Nebraska
Kansas Bill has been most UNANIMOUSLY mis-
represented by its opponents; that 1t does
not legisste slavery into Kansas; but, or
the contrary, allows the actual settlers o
the Territory the privilege (they ought u
possess) Of making their own laws on tina
subject, as on everything else.
| g. That it is q melancholy exhibition o
, ignorance or rascality when in view OF thi
f fact, the supporters Of the Nebraska bill AZ
/ called Pro-slavery men by the Black K:
, publicans.
! 10. That the only party which has gis
!, lated slavery into Kansas is the B ack Re
publican, who. by Duuns bill enacted tina
4 slavery might exist in Kansas until 1855
and that the Fugitiye-slave law should b
D extended over it. This measure passed tn
House, but was defeated in the Democrat
Senate.
H. Il is = fact that, since the Govern
ment was formed not a single acre of slav
t territory has been added TO the Union tina
was not slave territory before, and three
fourths of all the acquisitions have inure
20 the advantagt Of the Free States.
