"Othelos occupations gone.r Bleeding
Kansas is no longer in the keeping of the
Republican press. The papers which have
been so long snecrirg at the 'shriekers," !"
have taken the whole charge of Kansas af
fairs; and are outshrieking the "shriekcrs"
and out bleeding tho "beeders." Kansas
is now tho whole burden of the Douglas
press; and to do them justice, they appear
to be thoroughly posted. Considering how
many dispatches they ignored, how much
information they suppressed, how steadily
they turned deafear to all the facts, it is
wonderful that they can be so well informed.
Our neighbors of the Commercial had no
less than nine articles on "BIecding Kansas"
in his paper of Monday; and to-day, he has
run the number up to ten. AL these arti-
cles, too, would have sonnded first rate in
"Black Republican" paper Well, we are
resigned. But we should rather like to
know where "democratic principles" will
carry us next.-Bldde.
