Gov. Walker has issued a very threatening.
war-like paper, directed TO the citizens of Law
renee, in which he talks of deinolishing the
place, if they don't succumb to his viii ms.
The circumstances Gausing his cxcelleuey to
thunder forth his vengeance, upon that far
famed city, are, as follows:
The Bogus Missouri elected Legislature pas
sed an act incorporating the City of Lawrence
which the citizens refused to accept, for the
simple reason that they would not acknow-
ledge, as law, anything emanating from that
source. The Lawrence folks then applied to
the Free State Legislature for a City charter,
but that body refused to grant them one, be-
cause they thought 1t best not to pass any law
that would, III any manner, conflict with the
Bogus laws. The, were therefore left without
any organization and acting strictly upon the
principles of "Squatter Sovereignty" they cal
led meeting of the citizens, which appointed
committee who reported a charter that was
adopted. They then elected City officers and
put the wheels OF Government in operation. -
This Gov. Walker calls treason, and tells them
to stop. he will take all of Fl Learcnworth
to Lawrence and blow the place TO HI A
other day, making preparations for the trip.

Is sharpening the razor wherewith TO cut his

keen enough To do its duty. The Fro slavery

consider him nothing but low paltroon. He
was III this city nearly all last week, and it was
from here that he issued his proclalnation

What next? Its best and only policy
was undoubtedly to try and save itself in
the north, by taking the credit of secur-
ing Kansas to freedom. This was Bu-
ehanan's policy. Walker was selected as
its executor. He was succeeding admir-
ably. Suddenly the disunionists of the
South opened a raliing fire in his rear

Democracy the Same Everywhere =

Ii has often been the boast Of the sham
party that Democracy Is the same every
where" The more we become acquain-
ted with principles and acts Of that party,
the more fully we are convinced of the
truth OF the assertion. Wherever the So
called Democrauc party puts It's principles
into exercise, we find them the salne.-
The same principles that governed the
= Forty At Madison IN the Gubernatorial
contest, was visible IN the election frauds
IN Philadelphia and other cities last Fall
is now visible in Kansas aud in MIN
nesota. in the latter Territory, though
beaten at the polls by the people for whom
they profess 50 much love, the same party
have attempted to prevent the promotion OF
I Constitution, unless ii can be shaped in
accordance with their wishes. Though
there is a majority of Is against three,
they refuse TO meet IN the Convention,
and have formed Il sham Convention of
their own, III opposition 10 the wishes of
the majority OF the people lhey represe ut.
The ST. Paul Times explains the reason
Of The course pursued 10y the Democracy

1.-THE State Conventiop-Doings Of the Forty"

In an article With the above heading,
in the Weekly Patriot of July 18Th, Pump
Carpenter INDUCES in some of his accus-
toned elegance of expression IN exposing
the programme of the Barstow wing of
the National Democracy.
We don't propose to follow him in his
denunciatloas. The. family quarrels of
the Shamocracy are none of our funer-
al and we have no tears 10 waste on
them; but there is one matter in the ar
tcle above alluded to which we wish to
put Oh record for the benefit of Iowa
County Democrats and the rest of man
kind.
Pump gives lis, of what he says COM
prises "every decent Democrat IN the
State" We propose to put it OH record,
here, and therefore condense from the ar
ticle the following

Dr.. Carey. Racine

ter. ..
- Brawley, Stevens Point.
John Digman, keeps a light house in
Milwaukee,
Our Madison Postmaster, (name not
specified.
After describing the onslaughts of the
=" Forty on these gentlemen, Pump wants
10 know if the ''Rat Tails are .ssuch fools
as TO think they can thus run over every
decent Democrat in the State"
There are, then, fifteen decent Demo
Gratis in the State.
Will Pump take the time, when he has
month or two TO spare, to give a census
of the indecent Democrats
And will he tell us what kind of Dem
ocrats he calls the men whom he has
named as acceptable candidates for the
Gubernatorial chair, and whether he pro-
poses for that office - Ncddcr Or

Es8 We commend to The doughfaces
hereabouts, who, serving the behesls of
party which dares not dsobey the pro-
slavery leaders, must perforce abuse the
gallant freemen OF Kausas,-the follow
ing paragraphs from the ST. Louis Dem
ocrat, paper which, published in slave
State, dares to speak the truth:
Every one who knows the character
of the people of Kansas, and the history
which has formed that character, is ia
mllIar with these facts. He knows that
no stone has been left unturned that could
be turned-that no northern territorial
leader has been left alive that could safe
ly be murdered no outrage has
been ommilted which could safely be COM
miued-by the administration OF Pierce,
and Atchlnson's banditti-in order TO
make Kansas Il slave State. All have
failed. Free Institutions have obtained 4
victory by the valor of free men. Kansas
must be a free State. As reward and
punishment for her services to the NULL
ierS, Missouri-wiling or unwilling
will be obliged very shortly to follow in
her train. Missouri, which tried TO
-" crush out the serpent" has been stung
by it, and must succomb.
Aware of these facts, what was the
TO do! The party has
done everything in It's power, directly and
indirectly, by action and inaction, TO force
negro slavery on Kansas. II failed

E~g [, was reasonable supposition
that the editor of the Mineral Point Dem
CORA. had exhausted his vocabulary of
bIlinsgate in his issue of the 18th, in
personal attack upon the character of the
editor of this paper, but the two fall col
umns of low ribaldry in his last paper
proves that he is more OF an adept in vul-
gar epithets than was supposed. 1t is
possible that the class of readers for whom
Mr.. OGs caters admires the style of Ill
crature IN which he is so profuse of late,
but we are 10th 10 believe that any great
portion Of them live in this neighborhood
If notoriety is his object, we are disposed
to grant HIM the full length of his " cable
tow" for we see no other way In which
he is likely TO have his prevailing passion
graoiied.
Our remarks in relation to the personal
interest of Mr.. Otis in the Democrat es-
tablishmcnt, were made in reply to a per-
sonal attack upon It's in the columns of that
paper, which both Democrats and Repub-
leans considered of d nature not only JUS
tifying but requiring full exposition of
the nature of the concern. In these re-
marks we mad no statements except
those of which we had the proof-men-
tioning only facts known 10 large por-
ton of our city readers.
In regard 10 Mr. Brackcn's connection
with the Democrat, cur information came
from Mr.. Otis himself, and his personal
friends, corrohorated by the fact that the
paper on which the Democrat is printed
came directed to Mr. Bracken, who paid
the charges on the same.
As we have before stated, it matters
not to us who owns, edits and publishes
the Democrat, and but for the slanderous
falschood5 that have filled its columns, we
should not have alluded to the matter at all.
The statement of Mr.. O;is that we have
SAID ought against him or his business to
persons in Darlington or any other place
is totally untrue, and is only made TO pal
late his abusive language IN The eyes of
his readers.
On one or two occasions we have been
asked by Mr.. Gus friends why we did
not enter into 4 partnership with Mr. Otis
and unite the two establishments on
which occasions We have given the true
rcason-that NJ. Otis had nothing to
bring into the concern, and our authority
for such a belief.
If Mr.. Otis delights in the use of such
low vulgar cpithcts towards us lie can
continue them TO his hearts content, for
the source from which they enanate de-
prlyes them of the least possible HARM
In the fifteen years experience we have
had III conducting newspaper, we have
not found 1t necessary TO resort to such ID
course, and do not now feel disposed to
enter the course as 81 competitor against
Edmund Il. Gus la the line of vulgar bill
lingsgate or low slang, of which he will
himself be ashamed In his more sober
moments
