Buchanan wrote that as he had urged the
adoption Of the Missouri Compromise
the inference was irresistible that Con.

the Territories. In 1856, in his letter
accepting the nomination for the Presi.

ciples as ancient as Free Government it.

the bill in question had simply declared
that "the people of Territory, like
those of State, shall decide for them
selves whether Slavery shall or shall not
exist within the limits" In 1857. the
same gentleman, President Of the United
States, in his letter TO Professor Silliman,
SAYS that Slavery existed in Kansas when
the Kansas Nebraska bill was passed, /,
and "still exists" there "uuder the Con

This nondescript individual brief
sketch Of whose history We have hereto
fore given to the public, Is still before
the people Of Seneca County, ne q candi
date for Probate Judge. We have mis-.
taken tho character and intelligence Of
the people Of the County, IL they are
willing to place such a man in Office, to
settle dead mems estates and 10 handle
the money Of the widow and the orphan.
Mr. Bagby stands impeached before the
people Of the county His vain attempts
TO extricaio himself and escape the odunl,
that justly attaches 10 his acts, have only
sunk him deeper and deeper in the mire,
We appeal to the honest voters Of Seneca
County, II man, with such a suspicious
character and such black record against
him, should be elected to the most respon
siblo Office in the gift Of the county. In
all our remarks concerning Mr. Bagby,
VIC have said nothing more than the Rec.
ord will warrant, and we have repeatedly
invited the public to go and examine for
themselves. Mr.. Bagby has not met our
charges with one syllable Of proof--he
simply denounces them as false, with
out giving his reasons why they are so.
lie has not like, an honest man, invited
The public to go and examine the Record,
on 6lo in the Clerks office, aud he dare
not do. Il. He is afraid Of an open in
vestigation Of the facts, as they appear
from the Record
Mr.. Bagby states that he has made
oath, that tho charges, preferred against
him by Loomis & Ashley, arc rot true and
that the Republicans have stolen his an
swer of the files. This is simply false
Any one can see by going TO the Clerks
office, that bis answer Is on 6le, and that
Il amounts to nothing moro than a cow-
ardiy dodge, under the "Stalule of Lin
itatious." Ho does not deny the charge
at all, nor can he, without periuring him
self. In fact, no admits il all--admits
that ho sold the hides, pooke:ed money,
ran off and changed his name. His only
plea is, that action cannot be sustained
against him, beoauso he committed the
Iced more than SIR gears ago. If Mr.
3agby is such an innocent man. as be
md the AdOerti,sr represent, why did he
'bscond fror. New York? why did he
ihaugc his name and keep it a profound
secret for years? aud why does he now
'quiyocate and deny facts, that are as
oalpable as tho sun in the heavens. These
hings need explauation--they look, to
iay the least, very suspicious and war
ant the opinion, that he is a grand rascal,
renegade from justice, totally unwor-
hy The suf'ragos or even the couutenance

ore the public, as an aspirant for Office,
