shall be no sucA qSord as fail and that
they SHALL HAVE THE H STATION.
Resolved, That the Democracy ofAsh-
land County now as ever approve of
the principles of the Nebraska Bill, but
they do not justify the violations of law
committed both by Free State men and
Border Rufians in the Territory of Kan

the Bill, and that we hold the leaders of
the Black Republican faction alone re-
sponsiblef or the unfortunate consequent
ces which have resulted from said outra-
ges.

changed nor departed from a single prin-
ciple for which we contended in the days

is new speaking forth from one end of
the Union to the other, in tones loud and
deye in favor of the election of BUCHAN-
AN and BR~EoKTNRIDGE.

of the present day are only contending
for the same principles which the Amer
lean Revolution affirmed and fully estab-
elished, viz the sovereignty Of the Poo
pile and their right to seEgOUernnnert,
which is the fundamental theory upon
which our institutions are based.
ReSolued, That if the people of this
Union be not dead to the vital impor-
lance of the momentous question involV-
ed in the present contest; it Democrats
be not faithlest to their cause aud to their
highest duty; if any of the spirit that
animated the bosoms and nerved the
arms of our forefathers remains the
~sectionalism of the Black Republicans
will be rebuked in the severest terms of
indignation in November next, by the
friends of this Union voting for BUcHAN-
AN and BREcK1NRIDGE-thus proclaim
ing to the world that the great artery
the people-=of this Republic will not
recognize a North, South, East or West.
