The border ruifan SPIRIT adopted By the pseudo
democratic party not only reigns In Kansas but shows
itself as much a. II dare do in Pennsylvania. Not
only the niger driving party rules in Kansas over
freemen and muzzics them by force In that Territory
but seeks to rule in Pennsylvania by the same ruan
, and to crush, to put down, to intimidae them by
the same means which they have employed in Kansas
oil those who dare to differ from thethose who do not
submit to them in Pennsylvania.
People do not rise up against their rulers until they
are driven to by oppression, by determination to
force them to submit to Of which they dsap
prove The people at this great crisis have risen up in
moral rising against who have abused the power
conhded to them, who determined to retain that
power by force and who oaringy threaten the American
people that they take from them they will resist,
they will rebel, they will dissolve the Union. When
such spirit is displayed BY the men in power, it is
evident that the power of this great nation Is lodged in
bad hands, and that is high time to take II from them
be done for is difficult to wres the power from
bad hands and restere to the people when
rupt men have got hold Of II. Having had ii con.
fded to them for . limited time, they think
1t is their indisputable right, and that they
ought to keep it forever, II is time 10 take
the power out Of the hands which grasp IT, il 1t can
