vivant or gland family groupe, worthy of
the Keller troupe can be enjoyed by our
readers, they will take special pleasure in
the striking pen and ink sketches OF Repub-

his valediciory. We give portion OF il for

we surrender the editorial chair OF The Juniata
Sentinel into other hands whose organic mu-

we are afraid 10 avow and maintain true
American doctrines in the face of ultra Black
Republicans, hermaph.odite Americans and
political Summer.saulters generally, but thar
we may avoid an unpleasant, undesirable
and bitter conflict in the present canvass
Our chiel objec, in exposing the hollowness
of Republicanism in profession, and its an-
iagonism 10 American principles was for the
good OF party, and we tell those who took
such great offence at US for SO doing that
they will find they are not yet quite the
whole people, for there are others who have
opinions as well as themselves, and before
this Iaisn is over they will fnd "Jordsa
hard road 10 travel" We tell them, TOO,
iha; there are from two to three hundred
votes in this county that they cannot infiu-
ence by the meafs they have employed
against us.
This is the only time, in our editorial ca.
reer, in which we have taken leave of a
people under political difficulty, but we are
happy 10 know that lha, difficulty Is confined
to few political Bleeding Kansas blood
suckers. They weep, they groan ovef the
wrongs heaped upon the unfortunate people
CT that territory, in the loss OF free suffrage,
free though, and free press, through the in
s,rumentalty of Border Ruffianism, and yet
when The ,r1h OF their own iriquities 10
broueh, home to their door, they become as
ruffianly and oppressive as their prototypes
from the border counties of Missouri. We
need not go TO Kansas for ruffianism, but We
can find it even in little Juniata. 1t would

The Republican party, under is present
constituted leaders, is the meanes, party with
which we have ever had anything TO DO.
Without prudence or discretion II rushes
madly into extremes, and renders itself so
obnoxious 10 all liberal minded people, that
a union Of the opposition elements becomes
\ an utter impossibilhy. 1t will not waive
single poin, of its rsdicalism for the sake of
union with men who are as hostile to the ex.
tension Of slavery as there is any necessity
for It's whole history proves this, and il only

ultra Rspublicauism to gain place and pow
er, ttat, at length, it may stab the principles
of Amercausm in the high places of the
county. This it has already done, and We
have no guarantee that any better fate can
be expected from il in the future. Then why
should Ansncaus lend themselves to ths
schemes and designs Of a party, possessed
of so much bitterness, anlsgonlsm and mock

great and successful parties ia this country,
one OF which, must Of Necessity, be the
Democratic party, on account Of lis radical
