Douglas and Saccdnnn Bowing TO
the south.

Just as we predicted, the storm y which Doug
las was said to be getting up for the overthrow OF
q e administration, has all resulted in smoke, and
the South have succeeded in securing their Speak
er in the House AMI President OF the Senate
Douglas is said to BE- Submissive, and there Is no
prospect of anything bu complete triumph for
the S,nth in all their desires Steelman has swa-
lowoi all his profession for free h'l8as to get
his fist into the public trcasuty-n thing which
has always governed his principles. Public plum
der is the ruling principle with the northern dough
ftce,, and the South are willing to trade the steal
iays for the controlling power in Congress North
ern doughfnces don't care whether Kansas is free
or slave state, provided they have the paying o'-
fl ,,s. and the South are but TOO willing TO buy
them ut their price.

strangely Deceived.

II is remarkable to what extent man will be
blinded to his own faults, or those of his own fam
lily, party, or crceI. We have n striking ilustra-
Times of recent date. Tie whole history OF
the pro-slavery party has been but one continued
record of violated pledges, and yet many OF it's
own members have been so blinded By party pref
udcr that they have failed to see, or have not OBJ
served it merely because they would not. We will
not enumerate instances of this kind, but simply
refer the reader 10 the professions OF northern
slarocrats during the last campaign, when thou
sands of voters were deceived into the belief that
Buchanan would not be mere tool for southern
slave drivers, Every act since his inauguration has
contradiccd their professions and every step taken
has been designed to fstcn slavery upon Kansas
Yet the mass Of northern duughlIces are willing.
and seem anxious, to sustain him in every move
ment Not so, however, with the Times. Its eyes
are just opening to the fact that It's party leaders
are violating the very pledges which secured Bu-
chanan's election aud just hear how boldly and
truthfuly it demonstrates against the Washington
Union and the administration policy:
"lf the person conducting the Union were
sane man lie would know that Mr. Buchanan would
never have been President. nor any oil his cabinet
now in Office, had the Democratic party in 1856
inted at the possibility Of the people OF Kansas
being denied a vote on their constitution and yet
the Washington Union in its issues OF the 18th
! 18th and 2Oth nSt., can hardly find word ougi
to express its qualification that the princip.es o
the Democratic party have not only been shame
fully disregarded, but actually tramped under
foot in Kansas The Union may exult, but the
Union is not the Democratic party The Dsmo
cratic party stands pledged in every hamlet in the
United States to secure to the people Of Kansas
the privilege of making their own constitution, and
that pledge though a Union newspaper and d
cabinet officer stood at every cross road through

| TO be beyound the reach Of shame. On no Other
principls can we account for the inviting al.
lusion, in the last Democrat, to The base manner
in which the pro slavery clique Of this place
sought to def-al the election of DR.. Peck last
fall. Ger ninly they are not so far lost to reason
as to harbor the idea that they will be able to
convince single sane person in Wood county
of their innocence in this transaction, and
therefore we must infer that they deem it a
creditsble matter
The facts these, as zoe get them from head
quarters: To secure th' defeat of DR.. Peck, il
was deemed necessary to get certain number Of
votes from Republicans BY FRAUD. How to
do this was matter which the clique thorough
ly discussed in caucus, we'll as at other times
1t was finally determined, as the Journal office
Uds not locked, to steal one of the Republican
ticket forms, and from it print fraudulent
ticket, with the name of Jesse S. Norton in
serted for Representative instead of that Of DR..
Peck, hoping that the eagle cut, the sama type,
and the same dsshrs would be sufficient to de-
ccive those voters who were careless about ex-
amning their tickets These facts are suscepti-
bic of proof beyond oil doubt the fact that
they were printed in the Democrat Office, was
disclosed in the post Office to an eyewitness
prior to the election. An honest democrat in
formed leading Republican of these facts on
the night previous to the election AND HIS STATE
MENTs HAVE BEEN ABUSDANrLY sUBsTANTIArED
SINCE THAT TINE.
In addition to this, cna Of the young con-
verts peddled these tickets in Troy, Freedom,
and other townships. A leading democrat in
Troy township, one lrhOm the clique dare not
confront told US that this person was unable to
find uoter in the entire township who was
mean enough to take the tickets and endeavor to
use them at the polls, and therefore minor was
hired to do the dirty work for this INSCRIPTIONS
clique. But the honest democrats Of Troy, who |
only wished fair expression Of public senti
ment, aud who were not SO eager to secure the
election Of certain persons as some supposed,
Oh seeing these tickets at the polls, at once de-
stroyed them. This attempt to defeat the will
Of the people, was one of the boldest acts of
villuiny that We have ever known. anl shows its
