b tell the people nat il vas An Treasurer who
roo 81 9th the rhiso and that it c,ntot be proved
that mill Of the aostIscted funds ever weas int
the pocket Of Republican officer. 81 ia MIsss
cbusetts. they are doing little 10 the Psaic bust
pess, and arc informing weavers out of employment
that the present tishtness of money and depression
Of manufacturing interests are owing 70 tae great
number Of banks chartered by the Republican,
whereas the Republicans have chartered hardly any
baIIs at all, while in the many old aud the feE
new onas, Democrats who could raise money
enough bave been very glad to take stock. Here
10 New. York, i'o there is desfeoing hue and cry
about the "corru i" legislation Of las. Winter no
particular evidence bav rg yet been offered to show
that it Vas corrupt at bill. In all these ases the
Republican electors are besought to forget the
Kansas issue to lay aside for the occasion all the
principles upon which they have united as party,
srd to join, for this year only the Retrenchsrs aud
Reformers.
Now, We do not see how any man who knows
enough to retire to shelter in the event of shower
can be humbugged by this paltry palsver He who
can be taken In By it had better steer clear OF the
patent safe gentry. He who dses MT believe that
his party is able to manage State AFFAIRS as Ma
tonal affairs, and who cannot see that sue ,ess IN
the Nation is only to be secured by permanent cue
cess i'll the State, may be honest, but is fool new
srtheless How loLg, we should like to ask, would
the Republican party of New. York continue to eI-
let if upOn every such afectiOnate appeal as those
TO hich We are now listening, they should vote to
disbatd, and 60 over TO the eDemy' What cap
ria ard commanding position would they be in for
the struggle of l56O, if in all the State elections
betw1xt now ard then they should make no effort
to uphold political truth they profess to receive
it Why, there would not be enough of them left,
when the Presidential election came, to organize
State Convention and should they follow the advice
go generously given them, in this aud other States,
they would be most intOleraby grinusd at, We may
be cure. Do you suppose that they would care
copper at Washington how the Democratic victo-
lies were Won Would it not think you, warm
the bosom Of Mr.. Buchanan to a temperature of
at least ten degrees above zero to have P. Chase
ia OHIO, ard Day d Wilmot in Pennsylvania aud
Nathaniel Z Banks in Massachusetts, and our Re-
publican candidates in New. York, or any one Of
them defeated How The Union would rake US
fore aud aft How every place nan who is paid
pretty salary for saving he other Caion would
cry cut that the Repub can party was a, dead as a
deor. nail Aud b " much aid and comfort would
such state Of things carry TO the struggling cti.

Moreover, se assert that he who undertakes to
remove the Slavery question from State politics is
either non oOmpos or kDavsh. Doaghfacss have
tod for maDy years that we, the Inhabitants Of
the Free States, have more to do with American
Slavery than with Slavery in the East ILdies
Some persons Of feeble intellect had actually begun
to believe this, when the gentle and persuasive
Douglas refuted the error, by compelling US t.
think OF aud 10 discuss tue institution Since then
the Administration has taken good care tina. the
interest excited by the Senator from Illinois sh uld
not subsde for want of Stimulus, and there are AZ
this moment more poiats come ted with this SUB
ect unsettled than at any previous peri ID. Never
before have We stood in such pressing need Of frm
honest, Incorporating State officers. Look at
Ohio for iDstsncel There battle is going on be-
tween the panpersd and iRsolent mercenariss of
the Federal Courts, who assume the right to shoot
down every citizen who, however legally, comes
between them and their prey. We recommend no
violation Of the laws Of the United States but We
believe with Gov Chase, that the laws of Ohio are
ALEC entitled to modicun of respect. aud We also
think that Gov. Chase is precisely the man who
will see that they are respected. Had ths Slave
Power oeen less graspiDg and arrogant, the settle
ment of certain legal questions might long have
been deferred, but a conflict of jIri.diction has
arisen between the National aud State Courts not
indeed as every lawyer knows, an entirely new one,
but which events have rendered more important
than ever before. Some timid tremblers draw
their breath short with superstitious reverence
whenever the United States Courts are mentioned,
but there have been State Judges, and very able
ones, who have resisted, and successfully resisted
the usurpatons Of the Federal Judiciary. If We
have good Judges and good Governors to back
them, there will be further resistance. 1t will be
peaceable, legal, and successful We do not yet
believe that Roger Taney carries all the destnie,
Of this great country in his little green bag
But even if we were inclined (Which We most de-
cdedly are Doi) to drop the great Issue in our State
cspysss, we could not do so, snca the othsr side,
in spite Of all its sugge,tors seems really at heart
DESTROYS of trying it They soy that We are seek
ing to nske capital out of Kansas aud We say thai
ttey are trying to DO the ,ame thing They are
uscg this ve1ed question quite SIS much as we are
oily they happen to BE upon the wong eide
Should We cease to talk about Slavery, tie occupa.
ton Of ,uI dry pious souls who have undertaken to
correct our morals would be quite gone. We can
