I
authorized the establishment of a govern
ment.'' Yes but by the people--no
by marauders. 1t is further said, (" tha
we must adhere to a general principle
What principle ? Why, that a govern
ment established is a government to b
recognized. We deny such govern
ment in Kansas. Beware how you stretci
q general principle, and make it univcr
sal. Though one may safely pass the
Niagara river at all other points and pls-
ces, none but mailman would attempt
the passage on the verge of the cataract
The so-called government of Kansas,
then, can claim no sanction from an act
of Congress. That act provided for a
government formed by the people of the
Territory - that so-called government
was formed by the invaders from Missou-
RI The very fact that it required sup
port from the Federal Executive was the
strongest evidence that it did not come
from the people, and had no lawful author
lly. This shows at once that this gov
ernment was not, in the lowest sense an
established government :, for it shows
that it was not and could not be estab-
lished without a United States army ::
and, therefore, the army was sent, not to
sustain an established government"
but for the purpose of establishing what
was not established-a government of
ruffian authority.
The report Of the Committee of the
House of Representatives, sent to inves-
tigate the alledged Legitimacy of this
government established by invasion; the
mountains Of evidence uncontradicted
and irrefutable, which proves its utter
spuriousness and tha fact that Congress
has never recognized the Legislature of
Kansas as a Legitimate government in a
manner which could bind the President
to support its laws, are all forcibly alIu-
ded to by the memorialists, and they
clinch their argument thus:
Your whole vindication, if it has any
ground, rests in the view of your mem
orialists, upon one palpably false assump-
ton That whatever claims to be a GOV
ernment de tacto, without a pretence of
its proceeding from any rightful law
making power, is entitled to your sup
port. The world has not seen an usurp-
alton which this principle would not
sanction. If adopted in the administra-
lion of our Government, it must involve.

- From the Dubuque Tribune,
Mr.. Samuels and the Blacks.
DUBUQUE, Sept. 18th, 1857

DUBUaUE, Sept. 18th, 1857
Mr.. EDITOR: Dear Sir The DEM
ocratic candidate appears to made it a
very prominent point, in the present can
vass, to advocate separate schools for
white and colored children alleging that
the intermingling of white and colored
children would be injurious and degra-
ding to the former AS it is not my pres
ent object to offer any argument to the
contrary, but simply to ask how it is, that
the Democratic candidate for Governor
himself, who, as we are told by the Er-
press d: Herald, and other papers of the
party. is a man of sterling character, a
man possessed ofevery qualification to fit
him for the Office to which he aspires,
that he, was not contaminated, disgraced,
and ruined by his intercourse with the
little "woolly- heads" AS he was born
in Virginia. l take ii for granted his play
fellows and associates were TO great eX-
tent, during his childhood, colored chill
dren. With them he learned to lisp his
first words. have no doubt, he was far
more in the company of colored children
during his boyhood, than white children
would be here, were they attending the
same school. If Mr.. Samuels was not
ruined by his early associates, how is i,
that colored children, attending our pub,
lie schools, will so disgrace. the whites.
ANTI-HUMBUG.
Since writing the above, / am informed
that Mr.. Samuels not only had black chill.
dren for his playmates, but that was suck
led by negro fostermother. Wonder j
his morals are corrupted?
