Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1857-09-03

Christian! ....-
Instead of the present bogus party adj
ministcring the government over 90 years
out of the so Of its existence, it would be
/ strictly correct to say that it obtained
power for the first time in 1852; when the
gallant old Democratic Ship which Jeffer-
son. Madison, Monroe, jackson, Van Bu-
rem and Polk successivcly commanded,
was betrayed and surrendered by Pierce
and Douglass, for so pieces of silver, into
the hands of the Compact Breaking Ror-
der-R Ruffian- Slavery Extension Aristocrats
Since which time the power of the Federal
Government has been exertcd to extend
Slavery into territory consecratel to Free
dom. Our fellow citizens for the crime Of
advocating free institutions have been i'm
prisoncd, murdered and robbed, aud their
wives and daughters brutally violated. To
all which not sound of disapprobstion
has been heard to emanate from any of the
greater or lesser lights Of Bogus Amalga
ton Democracy. On the contrary taunts
and ieers, and assurances that they will
suJdae' us, have been the only responses
they have condesccndcl to make to the ap-
peals Of frecmcn for redress of grievan-
ces more intolcraLle than those which eau
sed our revolutionary sires to throw off the
British yoke. The time may be nearer
than many suppose when th2Sfreemen of
Kansas will resolve that "fofbearance has
ceased to be VIRTUE" and with the rcvolu-
tionary rallyins cry. "si: semper tyronnis, y
down with the tyrant-tly to arms. that
last, dread resort of the oppressed, for a
redress Of their wrongs. The flame thus
lighte may not lie so easily cxtinguished.
With the present ruling dynasty, although
it obtained power by the most stupendous
frauds upon the ballot box, rests the res
possibility of inaugurating the genius of
intestine and bloody commotion. Justice,
simple justice, is all the Republican party
of the nation demands from the dominant
party for th-ir harrasse1 and oppressed
brethren in Kansas. Let this be denied,
as it has been. and upon its head the CON
sequences will rest.
We do not wish to be understood as in
Gliding all who voted for Buchanan in the
free States as enemies of fsc. institutions,
or in favor of Slavery extension. On the
contrary. we are personally acquainted
with many who voted on that side who are
as firmly opposed to extending Slavery as
any Republican. and who have assured us
that similar sentiments are held by the
mass of the party. All such will desert the
standard of the party as soon as they see
that they have been betrayed 10y their lead
ers into the hands of Southern Slave-b breed
crs, who seek to extend Slavery to enable
them to get higher price for their niggers.

else, being regulated by demand and sup
ply. Virginia. Maryland, Kentucky and
Missouri are the great slave-breeding
States; but they cannot supply the increas-
ing demand Of the extreme Southern States.
The price of negroes. consequently, is enor-
mously high. at present The breeders

tuates the cotton and sngar producers in
the more Southern States. They look for

groes, through the medium Of new produ-

mand, and consequently much cheaper
Il Southern Statesmen have long foeseen
the inability of tho Slavc-Lrceding States
to supply the demand, hence the clamor
and agitation from that quarter in behalf

by Congress would be tantamount to en-.

they, we shall have cheap cotton and su

But do any regard the conclusion tina
there will be no more free States admitted
