was the result Of the courage aid forbearance oil the
Free ,tate men. He complimented the Ffee-Sta
selsiers, and said that the Republican party OF the
country was the only one from which Free Kansas
had ANYTHING to hope. He said the twenty Repub-
bean Senators would never consent to a bill ad-
hitting Kansas as a Slave State, and there was no

The Inaugural of Buchanan. He had faith IN toe

The bogus census takers are at work. They
have received instructions from the bogus county
courts which differ materially from even the bogus
directions, and they were bad enough in all con-
science. The truth is that every bogus official is
law unto himself and legislation to drfne their du-

bogus constable but occasionally assumes the func-
tion. OF Justice There is not Sheriff out laoors
snder the deusioD that he is Judge and the bogus
county courts have as exalted an opinion as to their
smni ,cient and legitimate mission on earth as II
they were descendants of the red fruit OF Lake Pa-
hOur.
This same census will be very great humbug;
hut bogus humbugs are sometimes serious. Only
smal part of the Free-State men are placed on the
6st. They take no One-that Is, no Free-State
man who was not an actual settler on the 10Th
mat. They ignore the recent arrivas-in fact, all
the srrivals of this Spring, and do not take one
half of the others. The Free-State men allow them
70 do as they please, only some OF them wish them
at Jericho, and some few do not scruple to say 80.
