Got them by the Ears !

It Will be remembered by our reallers, that we
stated, prior to election, that the leaders Of the
sham democracy of Wood county rather pulled
the wool over the eyes" of their O:towa brethren
in the Representative convention, by making re.
presentations Of herculean political strength when
they were bat mere pignics. Cole, editor Of the
Ottawa Democrat, was Induced 10 withdraw from
the contest for nomination by 'hese great probes
sions and now that the cloven foot is thoroughly
exposed, he very nat urallv hints that something
more than "the indiscrctions of youth have com.
bined to produce the present state of affairs Here
is what he says about it:
I'VE were more surprised at the result Of Mr.
Norton defeat than anything in the election that
came under our notice. We expected from what
we had been informed by good reliable democrats
of Wood county. that Mr. NIrton would get II
majority ia Woud county, but we find it quite to
the contrary. We find that Mr.. Peck has larg
or ajorty in Wood Co, than any other candi
date on the ticke in thar county, save one. How
it is that well posted politicians should be so much
deceived we unable to divine. We submit TO
thc majority cheerfuy VIXEN obtained fairly. We
feel conscious that we have dune our duty in 0t
towa"
Who are the swell posted politicians" referred
to ! Are they those old party hags who now
traverse our streets and console their brethren with
the remark that Norton was heavy drag TO our
ticket ?" Are they those men who secured Nor
tons nomination for Representative, merely be-
cause they wanted some one on the ticket that
they could "bleed freelyP' We don't think il
looks well, gentlemen, to trot out nag and then
kick him for coming out Cole doubtless feels
that he has the inside track now, but such home
thrlsts as the above will be more than likely to
create an eslrangemenf between him and the "well
posted politicians" of our county.

SOM This reminds us tina, we received letter

Well, that is one of those questions which all

Kausas---A Change,

The recent election in Kansas has decided the
fate OF that territory Tie free state men have
shown themselves possessed of sufficient force TO
defy aud overturn the pro-slavery power which
has hitherto lorlel it over them. Frauds Of the
most open aud daring character were rcsorted to
under sanction OF government ofli;iIIs aud by
their order, yet the free state men came of COM
pletc conquerurs, clecting their delegate to Con
grcss an handsome majority of both houses Of
the Legislature.
In Johnson county where it is sail there are not
thirty legal voters, the returns represent at some
ssvcu,een hundred votes were cast. The polls
were kept open in that comfy two days. In an
other part OF the territory, Gov. Walker had the
u S troops vote. in direct violation Of provls-
ion in the act organizing the territory.
But all this fraudulent voting was insufficient to
elect the pro slavery delegate to Congress or Sc
cure majority in the legislature. Seeing this
Gov. Walker resolved to exhibit apparent fairness
by expressing determination not 10 recognize the
fraudulent returns from Johnson county Had
those returns changed the complexion OF the cleo
ton. no one doubts hut Walker would have de-
fenlel their legality even with U s. troops.
This complete riu nph of the free safe men
settles the vote OF that territory and the consti
tu,iona convention has expressed a disposition TO
submit their constitution to the people for adnp
ton or rti.cton-a thing which they have hiiher-
to strunupusly opposed We shall hereafter ex
pect to see more rational state Of affairs in Kan
eaS.

If Slavery is right there is no good reason why
II should be confined 10 any particular shade Of
the skin The bleaching p oces5 has been going
on steadily among the democracy" Of the South
lill white Slavery is getting TO be quite common
While the writer was in New York, few wears
ago, several white slaves came through from Bal
timore, on the underground rail road without let
or hindrance They found means to furnish them
selves with good clothes. in which they escaped
during the night TO Baltimore, and then marched
boldly up TO the X. X. ticket office. where they
we're taken as white men and passed. without q
qucsliun.to New York If white men and women
can thus be held in Slavery, they can also be kid.
mapped. Accordingly we find in letter from
New Orleans an account of Il white girl from Cal
ifornia who has been experiencing the tender
mercics Of the Shareholders. The account says
lone Of the principal sensations in this vicinity
has been the flight Of young and beautiful girl
claiming 10 he white. from the domicil of negro
trader in Carolton, an! her claiming protection
from the authorities, at the prison of our adjoining
parish. The case is on. OF the most mysterious
that has occurred in a long time and there seems
little doubt on the minds Of the public that large
amount Of rascnty is, as yet lying quietly at the
bottom Of it. t. MI appearances, tn, girl is OF
pure Caucasian blood which is what she as
asserts, and her story Is. that she left an
phan by the death Of her patents in Kansas, and
was placed in charge Of guardian. who it ap- |
pears. sent her to New Orleans, under the plea Of
putting her in charge Of friends but really to have
her sold into slavery" The letter adds "The
youth aud beauty Of the girl ensts the sympa

she has been wrongcl every effort will be made to
right her"
