denounce the repeal worse than they
did the Compromise. Their treatment
of Northern Congressman who sought
to please them, by displacing them, as
in Massachusetts,, with new and I'M
tried men, proves the insincerity of
their professions. And yet at the pres
ent time we find them calling upon
these very Congressman and their
friends, who were ever true to freedom,
to come over and help them in the cleo
ton of Fremont.
And who is Fremont ? "A Southern

never had and never professed any
sympathy with the abolitionists, until
now. WHAT evidence have they that
Fremont will carry out their professed
doctrines and measures Not one

will or not, provided he willhelp them

Hon. John NJ Bolts, distinguished
Wing statesman of Virginia in days
past, recently stated that the corrup-
ton of politicians, the RIGHTEOUSNESS
of the public press and the indiffer-
ence of the people to their own well
fare had SO utterly Disguised him with
politics and politicians, that a few
months ago he had determined to take
a part no more in politics. He stated
that neither Buchanan nor Fillmore
"nor Fremont are likely to disturb the
institution of slavery, as it exists
under the constitution" But, he add
ed, Fremont is the representative of
"a party, the purposes and interest of
which are to keep alive the agita-
ton Of the slavery question for the
purpose of forming a northern anti
slavery party in order to obtain pow
ser. Power-powcr is all they are
aiming at" 40

fday OF darker omen to our country, than any
which has vet occurred in it's calendar. It is
easy, know, to exaggerate that danger on
one side, and it is equally easy to ridicule all

The life of the black republican par
ty consists in agitation. They are the
men who have provoked war and strife
in Kansas. The main object of this
war is to produce all the horrors pos
sible, and then circulate the tales of
war and bloodshed, by false and ex-
travagant communications through
the allied presses in the States. That
party is based upon the excitement
thus produced. 1t originated in, ex-
lists and is held together wholly by,
the outrages and ldwless violence that
its followers and paid soldiery origi-
nate, provoke and commit. il isat
These outrages are part and parcel
of the programme and organization of
their party. "A well executed murder
in Kansas is better to them than mass
meeting, and a battle or the burning
Of town outweighs half adozcn State
conventions. i'g" 3t1i-
TO secure these outrages and keep
up the capital stock of the party, they
enlisted a regular army of outlaws
and cut-throats, raised fund of
500, 900 per month, besides numerous
small contributions, and under the in
famous traitor, Lane, as commanders
in-chief, have invaded Kansas Terrific
~. These rebels and outlaws, acting
per order Of the republican commit
tees, are able to furnish any and all
the destruction, murders and arson
they may need or their cause require,
and the regularly enlisted presses and
Ipamphleteers of the country eagerly
send it forthfor base political purposes.
If this was not their object and true
intent, why was Lane, with his army
Of a thousand rufiians, sent through
Iowa to that Territory raising con-
tributions, drumming up recruits,
