The BAas1cW DEMOCRACY.

The developments Of the frauds, corruption
aad downright robbery of the State Treasury
as fastened uTpn the Barstow Administrator
by The Investigating Committee. have casased
such squirming in the ranks of the unterrif'ed
al 70 induce many Of them even to deny teli9~
slip with Barstow any of has State officers
BY this means they still hope 70 deceive the vo-
tiers of WISCONSIN 10 such IN extent as to secure
a minority in both branches of the Legislature
and then elect this same VIM. A. Barstow TO the
U. s. Senate and by this deception they hope
also to secure votes for their candidates for Con-
yrcss and for Presidential Electors. They will
hardly succeed however, in pointing out the in
fnitessimal difference between the Barstew aud
clear te satisfy the honest voters of the State
that they are not one and the same.
The people have not forgotten that the same
packed Convention that nominated Vim. a.
Barstow for Governor, also sent the delegates
from this State TO the Cincinnati Convention
which nominated James Buchanan; they har q,
not forgotten that the same State Convention
nominated the Electoral Ticket for this State
they have not forgotten that Judge Crawford
was delegate to the Cinci, natl Convention,
and that Vim. "A. Barstow and the notable Geo.
d. Smith the min wire-pullers for this
State in that Convention ; they have not forgot
ten that the men who are now the varmest sup
porters of James Buchanan were last fall equally
ardent in their support of VIM. A. Ba.stow.
With all these facts before the public, it will
be difficult for the black-African Democracy
who support James Buchanan, to satisfy the
freeinen of Wisconsin that they not of the
same political party that has robbed the State
Treasury of its tens of thousand and the School
und of its millions.

How about the Foreign Vote p

Gov FLoYD, of Virginia, if bold mnn, is
none. of the discreetcst. In the late speech
made by him for Buchanan in Wall Street New
York, he used the following language:
"Iherc bonds of union 5ctrcc,c the acueoc-
racy and the An.cricaa party tell Won what
these bonds are. They are the bonds Of truth
of justice, of patriotism and of right. (Bravo.)
They are the bond % the constitution md OF
the Union.
Very pretty. But some person in the crowd,
who did not precisely understand how the votes
of the adopted citizens" were to be brought
over to vote for Fillmore, tho Know Nothing
candidate, was desired by the speaker, called
out.
"Hom about the foreign vote?"
Now mark Governor Flovds answer. He
said
will tell you, my friend
al thank the jew, for giving me that word"
When it was proposed on one occasion to the
assembled chiefs of ancient Greece that they
should invite their great adversary Hector who
had dealt death and destruction in all their
ranks, to an entertaInme and feast, some of the
sturdy and resolute objected, because he was
their enemy. Nestor, the wise and considerate
chief of the Grecian host, proposed union. and
it was agreed TO, and the stalwart, though the
rugged and daring chief no had objected, f.
nally give up his objection with this declaration;
Let him come. 1t is right and it is proper
We ~iH feed him here today, the day of jubilee.
and arc niH cut 1t ont Of him tomorrow the day
of war. Now, that IS the answer, my friend
about the foreign vote. We Will settle that
question after we have saved the Union"
Our foreign born citizens can see by this re-
mark what is in the programme of the Demo-
cratic and Know Nothing fusionists for them
and take warning.

DEAR SIR Il am sorry that cannot be with

they have honored me but inexorable, long
continued disability aud the adHsonition of
medical skill keep me back still from all public
effort and even from return to my hense,

you offer me for / have constantly hoped to
visit Illinois during the present contest, and in
plain language, to put to her people the ques-
tons which they are to decide by their votes

Are you against the erection Of the Slave
Oligarchy the dominant power in our Repub-
lie If yea then vote for Fremont.
Are you against the violation of the constitu-
tional rights of American citizens II yea,
then vote for Fremont.
Aadacious sophistry, often exposed, but still
Haunting abroad, may seek to deceive you. 1t
may foam with abuse and bristIe with perver-
sion of fact; but 1t cannot obscure the IN
questionable truth, which now stares every
body in the face, that vote for Buchanan is a
vote for all these bad things. 1t is vote, not
simply for the extension of Slavery, but also for
the extension of Slavery by force, involving,
besides, the erection of the Slave oligarchy as
the dominent Power in our Republic and the
violation of the Constitutional rights of Ameri-
can citizens. Surely Illinois will not be led to
sanction any such enormities. Hers will be the
path of Liberty which is, of course, the path of
true patriotism. Through her agency incalcu-
liable harm has already come to the Republic :;
but cannot forget that she has begun glori-
Gus amend, by introducing to the National
Councils a Senator Of rare skill in debate, of
sweetest purity of character and of perfect 10y
atty to those principles by which Liberty will
be secured, and our good name extended in his
tory refer to Mr.. Trumbull who now belongs
to the whloe country. which is Justly grateful
for his eminent services. With his example
before her, Illinois cannot wander again into
the support of Slavery.
Give to the Republicans of Illinois my hearty
God-speed, and let my absence speak to theri.
Ever faithfully yours,
