Things to be Remembered.

Let it he remembered that men are now
imprisoned, to be tried, and may be hung, for
treason n Kansas, for forming that very
Free State Constitution which ths H 1use of
Representatives in Congress 80 recently ap-
| proved.
Lett be remembered, that the Free Stats
| Legislature dispersed by the threatened bayo-
nets of United States soldiers at Topeka, on
the a h OF July, peac-ably assemb ed under
the provisions of the Constitution of K insls
50 approved by the house of Representatives.
Let Il be remembered, that United States.
troop are employed by President PIERCE 10
enforce the Drac ,nian code of law, enacted
in Kansas by Missouri elected .gisI ,ture,
and to ''disperse" Legislature elected by
the people of Kansas, the real "squatser
Sovereigns."
Let it be rcme mbersd, that the Toombs
and Douglas bill, which has passed the Sen
ale, virtually disiranchises all those Free
STATE men who have been driven out of
Kansas By bills of Indictment, and BY the
bayonet point, and acknowledges the validity
and upholds the acts of the B Bogus L.gisla-
ture.
Let it be remembered, that not single
murderer OF Free State men In Konsas has
been arrested BY the Bogus Territorial O.
6cers, or by the U. 8. au horiIies, and that
no attempt has BEEN made by said officers or
authorities to bring the robbers and mur-
derers to justice.
Let it be remembered, that Free Presses
have been destroyed, towns sacksd aud bur-
q ed, dwellings houses entered and robbed,
men shot down in cold blood, and women
driven to insanity, and for no reason but to
establish human Slavery in Kansas by brute
force.
Let it be remembered that these worse
than Algerine outrages have been permitted,
aided and justified by the Admins tration of
Franklin Pierce, and the Democratic Nat
ional Convention endorsed them tv endors-
ing his Administration-that James Buch-
anan not only ands on the sams platform
but declares that his individuality is ab-
sorbed in the platform.
Let it be remembered that the bIudgeon
has been substituted for Free States, and
that the cDwardly ruff who struck down
its champion is sustained and aPplsuded by
the South and the dough-faces of the North.
Let it be remembered that the recreant
Pierce has ye,ned every bill passed since his
Inauguration for the improvement of Lake
Harbors, the St. Clair, The st. Mary's, and
other Western riyers-that he finds
his Justification in the hostility of the DEM
ocratic National Platform to such improve
ments by the General Governmen,-and
that Buchanan is bound by the same resolu-
tion to 90 tollow in the footsteps OF his illus
triou, predecessor"
Let it be remembered that JoHS C.. FRE-
MONT is IN favor of Pacific Railroad. Har-
Dor and River Improvements, Free Speech,
Free Press, Free Labor, and Free Kansas.
And lastly. let it be remembered, that the
election of JAMES BUCHANAN will be but a
mere elongation of the administration of
FRANKLIN PIERCE-that the issues have been
'airly made up-that the result fthis con-
test will make Slavery National and Free
dom sectional, or Freedom National and
Slavery Sec ional--that every vote counts
on one side or the other-and that the Coun-
try expects every Free Man to DO his Duty.
