Glasgow weekly times. (Glasgow, Mo.) 1848-1861, 1857-06-25

TAKING AIM Three or four long
weeks since, the amiable Editor ofthe Glas-
gov Times said he intended to "pull trig-
ger" upon the Editors OF the st. Louis Lead.
er, Jefferson City Examiner and the Citizen,
which shot was to tell with fearful effect.
Ever since then we have been filled with
direful apprehensions. Little did he think
that squib would have the effect OF "nine-
FOUNDER" His own position, and that Of
his delectable allies, only make matters
worse. The last circumstance worthy of
note, is the publication in the "Times" Of an
article more than a column in length, taken
from q northern print, intended to prove
''inconsistency" and fickleness of opinion
upon the venerable Chief Justice fancy
touching hi, recent decision upon the power
of Congress over slavery in the Territories.
The article is the pretended remarks of the
Chief Justice in the year 1919, thirty eight
years ago,-then young lawyer, made in
defence of Methodist preacher on trial for
attempting to create characterization and
instruction among slaves" But it intrn-
sically amounts TO nothing, and proves moth
ing whatever affecting his bred Scott decis-
ion, and can have no other effect upon in
telligent shareholders than revealing the hid
den and shameful object of those who seem
10 take pleasure in its circulation. 1t is not
even authenticated by any respectable au-
thority, and sought its first expression thro'
the medium Of northern journals. What le-
gitimate object any pretended pro-slavery
paper can have IN endeavorng to lessen the
salutary effect of Chief Jurtice fancy in this
decision, which is hereafter TO prove the
bulwark of the Sout, in the defence OF her
rights and the equality Of the States, is more
than we can understand. Anything how
ever, good, bad or Indifferent, Know Moth
ing or Abolition, intended 10 bear against
the Democracy, and which, while its re-
sponsibility may be lodged, will yet give
aid and comfort to the Abolitionists, is good
enough for the "Times" and kindred sheets.
And yet this Consistent" editor wants TO
''shoot" three Of his neighbors about the
slavery question! For four weeks he. has
been taking aim, yet hesitates to pull trig-
ger. "Moot Luke, or give dad the gun"
I5-The foregoing is from the last number
of the Randolph Citizen" and reminds us
Of a promise we made some time since, which
we now proceed TO redeem.
The last time the Citizen" took politi-
cal position, it settled down on the Anti
Benton platform, and took tilt at "The
Times;" not Icing very well posted on that
side ofthe question. it stole the Editorials Of
the "Catholic Leader" and the jefferson
Examiner" worked them over in bungling
style, and applied them to us-hence those
two papers were included in the promise
and will be attended to first, by way Of
showing what kind Of company the "Citi.
zen" is in, now that it is "Southern pa
per-"
The "Leader" is edited by political ant
religious iurn-coat, and whose devotion t.
the South can be counted by days, and will
not much exceed three hundred and sixty
five. He was a Wing, and is an Anti Ben
tonite; was Protestant, and is a Catholic
regarding the bulls of the Pope of ROM
more binding upon him than the Constltu
ton and Laws of the United States; is
Northern man by birth and education-wa
anti slavery at the North, and now that h
is citizen of the South, supports Enamel
pationists for office-declares "the Demo
cratic is not a pro-slavery party" and tha
"a difference of opinion on the slavery CUES
ton is allowable in the Democratic party.
He owns no slaves, and invites Abolition
lists TO Join the National Democratic part,
assuring them that party "allows" them {
hold whatever views they please upon tn
slavery question. Such is the man that col
ducts the leading Democratic paper in Il
State, and who is trying to win votes f'
Stewart, who agrees with him in all poin
D save that of Catholicism, and the temper
power of the Pope. Such is the man wi
heads the party with which "dad" Tayl
now affiliates. Verify "dad," you are Q
