Democracy and the Union.

alt is Of infinite moment that we should
properly estimate the immense value of your
national Union to your collective and indvid-
ual happiness; that you should cherish
cordial, habitual and immoyablc attachment
to it, accustoming yourselves to think aud to
speak of it as the palladium of your polits
ical safety and prosperity watching for its
preservation with jealous anxiety; discounte-
naneing whatever may suggest even q suspi-
cion that it can in any event be abandoned; /;
and Indignantly frowning upon the first at
tempt to ALLEVIATE any portion of the country
from the rest or to enfeeble their sacred ties
which now link together the various parts"

Peace in Kansas.

There has been monstrous deal of humbug
written and published about "ruilianism," !"
and "bloody MURDERS" and ali that, in Kan
sas No such thing has been heard of in
Nebraska, Notwithstanding that territory was
organized under the very same law No
the Republicans selected Kansas as the favor
ed spot, about which the shrek for freedom"
should be raised and kept up They have
argued one-another to keep up the Kansas ex-
citement to talk loudly about murders, and
all that; they have counseled each other to
keep alive, as every possible means, the Kan
sas storm thereby hoping to make the people
believe that dreadful civil war was going
on there, because, as one of their own num-
ber expressed it, that was the only plank in
their platform, and without it they soOuid surely
sinkp They hare kept up this storm, but
the people are at last beginning to see that it
is chiefly freedom shrieking" humbug. The
very latest and most reliable news is that
notwithstanding the contrary efforts of the
Republicans peace prevails in Kansas All
was quiet, and Gov. Geary had not the least
difficulty in disbanding the unawfully assem-
bed squads. The news comes with stunning
effect upon the Republicans; but still it is So
Their supply of bloody horror has been cut
short, and they feel its loss keenly. Well
let there be peace in Kansas-peace every
where-and the freedom shriekers" oceupa-
tion will be gone.

/ mean to live single life,
And live so till die;

III tell the reason why.
The men are deceitful set
They'll talk as fair as day;
But when the've caught you in their net
They'll turn another way.
o, horrid horrid only think,
While wives are cooking victuals;
To see carkass filed with drink
The floor with 'bacco spittles
Then how disgusting is the noise
OF fretful husband bawling;
How little peace wife enjoys,
With lots of children squalling.

While stars are in the sky
A single life's the life for me,
A maid I'll live and die.

The Mum" Candidate for Senator.

Where is Capt. Elias, the "mum' X n.
candidate for State Senator? Ilisorgan says
the people don't want to hear speaking-or,
as he might have expressed the same idea. they
want to vote blind We suppose Capt FL
las like Mllard Fillmorein his letter to Zen
Allen Skinker & Co, falls back on his dig
nifty, and asks the people to take "my past
life" for all they want to know about his
views and opinions on the great questions Of
the day. Well, that may do for some people;
but the majority will not be satisfied with
non-committalism at time like this. The
people want the candidates before them, what.
ever their principles, to walk square up to the
chalk-mark The politically timid may as
well consider themselves out Of the ring.

date for Senator, faces the music" every

Buchanan on the Railroad,

The following Is the letter of James Buch-
anan on the subject of the Pacific Railroad.
1t is most emphatic response in favor of
the construction of the road, and completely
spikes the guns of the Republicans and K.
Nothings. 1t is in strong contrast with the
wishy washy, non-commttal letter of Mr..
Fillmore, written short time prior to the
date of Mr. Bnchanan's. Read for your
selves:
WHEATLAND, (near Lancaster,) Pa.
18th September, 1856
10 b. f. Washington, Esq, Chairman of the
Democratic State Central Committee of
California:
SIR have received numerous commhni-
cations from sources in California entitled to
high regard, in reference to the proposed Pa
ciGc Railroad. AS it would be impossible
for me to answer them ALL | deem it most
proper and respectful to address you gen
eral answer in your official capacity In
performing this duty to the citizens Of Cali
fornia, act in perfect consistency with the
self-imposed restriction contained in my let
Itl dCCtptiuB tHc HOluiudtiOu iOi JHt l. ltci-
dehcy, not to answer interrogatories raising
new and different issues from those presented
by the Cincinnati Convention; because that
Convention has itself adopted a resolution
in favor of this great work. |, then, desire
to state briefly that, concurring with the con-
vention, / am decidedly favorable to the con-
structian of the Pacific Railroad; and | de-
rive the authority to do this from the con-
sttutonal power to declare war" and the
constitutional power ITO repel invasions. =
In my judgment, Congress possesses the same
power to make appropriations for the con-
struction of this road, strictly for the purpose
of national defence, that they have to erect
Notifications at the mouth of the harbor of
San Francisco Indeed the necessity, with
the view to repel foreign invasion from Cal
ifornia, is as great in the one case as in the
other Neither will there be danger from
the precedent; for it is almost impossible to
conceive that any case, attended by such ex-
traordinary and unprecedented circumstances
can ever again occur in our history Yours
very respectfully,
