ing his manhood, TO that low, unmanly
but perhaps ,conted position, commonly
occupied by animals lower than man, and
belched forth personalities as he thought,
no doubt, sharply. Only when weak, dc
men resort to such means; and so harm
less do we consider them, coming from
such source and in such way. that we
scorn retaliation. only so far as to say
that such things are base, low. vile, un-
gentlemanly. and cnly the fruit of an un-
ripe mind. The scholar and gentleman
stands upon broader foundation, de-
tending, in manly way, their expressed
opinions, while the barren mind emits its
(sapposed great effusions. and then turns
away, unable to defend, but attacking
always, those who may see 6t to correct
or assail, with low personalities. Such is
mot the character of the noble man l.
But to the subject.
In the Viadicator of April Sd. 1857,
you win 6nd the following, which ap-
fpears in an editorial headed "Free Kan
sas :"
"But even suppose the Territorial
Negislature is in hot haste to call a con-
,yention to frame a constitution, is the dc-
rtion of that convention final, even sup
spose it provides for slavery? By no
means. The acts of that Legislature, in
calling convention, are WITHOUT AU
1rHoRIrY, and the acts of the convention
will doubtless be treated as was the To-
tpAka constitution and convention, utterly
disregarded by Congress"
Here, Republicans of Wyandot Coun
". this Democratic Editor took'th true
Republican ground. We asked him then
---and told you TO mark it--whether /" if
Congress does admit Kansas with con-
stitution thus framed. will you make any
fuss about thai n" When we asked our
friend this question, little did we think
his taees would tren.ble, his back be-
come weak. and that he would humbly
bow so soon. But it is true-he has
done i'll Scarcely had the ink got dry

how it could be possible that there was
anything unconstitutional in Kansas, as
they were all popular sovereigns
there, before he publishes to the world a
notice of Secretary Stanton's address to
the citizens of Kansas, withom commend,
which is equivalent to an endorsement,
in which our accommodating brother
says, in the Vindicator of May 18th, s57,
that he (Stanton) says the Administra-
tion recognizes the authority Of the Ter
ritorial Legislature anI the validity Of. the
Territorial Laws, AND ESPECIALLY
RECOGNIZES THE ACT PROVI.

lished by brother Dennison without COM
ment! He quietly swallows his own
words-bow submissively at the feet Of
his masters-takes back that which he
said with SO much "legal' gusto-asks
his Don Quixote's pardon---determines to
be less hasty in the future for fear he may
again be compelled to retract even the
truth-renews his allegiance to his q SOW

his political friends do not take his paper,

Of Ais degradation who have tasted OF its

we are but men men often err. Some
times the errors are of the head-being
destitute, to some extent, of the substance
necessary to generate correct opinions
and sometimes they are of the heart
that being desperately aoicked, and deceit
full above all things! But be cheerful,
