essF The organ of the Sheriff Of Wander
burgh county objects to our using the express
ions"dirty'' and .'dirtiest" in description of the

MoRE CoSFUsIoN.-The passage of the bill
for the restoration Of peace in Kansas, by the
Senate. has created more confusion in the Old
Line camp The staple of their orators has
s been "squatter sovereignty" but now that
"squatter sovereignty has been destroyed,
they are at a loss what to say is placed in Its
stead Mr.. Buskirk, one Of the Old Line Elec-
tors at large, in a speech at huntington, the
other day, positively and nnequiyocally adj
! mitted that the douglas bill with the amend
ment proposed by Toombs, was departure
from the principles of squatter sovereignty, as
contained in the Kansas Nebraska bill" lie
also said that in his opinion Fthe bona ffeset-
tiers of Kansas and Nebraska have tue right
to exclude slavery from the Territories" but,
said he, that is my opinion, while Others
think that those people have not that right
and can't settle it," In other words, Mr.
Democratic Elector Buskirk is unaile to recon
,cile the departure from the principle Of squat
ter sovereignty with the former teaching o
his party on the subject That puzzle is a lit
tie too deep for BuskHk TO fathom.
