fairs. The Governor disayows the article.
and says he is only responsible for that
which appears over his own signature. The
Republicans we'll know that Gov. Geary
denies the statements made in that aboli-
ton sheet; but, Notwithstanding, they still
give currency to the statement, the same
as if they were true.
The Governor, in his farewell address
gave no doubt, clear and candid histo-
ry of Kansas, during his residence there.
We have not seen the address in single
Republican paper. fit were their object
to give their readers the truth in reference
to what the Governor has said about Kan
sas affairs, why not publish his address,
which all agree is genuine. The reason is
obvious, they wish to make little more
capital out Of the Missouri Democrat arti-
Gle.

PIUDerS.

The expense of keeping the paupers o.
this county, for the last year, will be but
little short of thousand dollars. The
question naturally arises, what is the cause
of so much pauperism? We have but
four permanent paupers; the others have
been provided for by the county, some fol
a few weeks, others for several months
The building of the rail roads to this point
necessarily brought large number of per-
sons into our county. who had not former
ly resided here, and the larger portion Of
them were lovers of the "ardent;" con,
sequently, when cold weather commenced
last fall. and the work on the roads being
measurably suspended. they soon spent
the little pittance they had saved during
the summer and fall for Ewhisky, which
could be obtained for the money without
any difficulty. Many of them. when they
were taken sick, had no means left to pro-
vide the necessaries of life, nor to employ
physician; hence the Overseers of the
poor had to take charge of them, or let
them suffer and die for the lack of atten-
ton. We think we are not exaggerating
when we say that free whisky" has
caused fourfifths of the pauper expense
of this county within the last year.
We exceedingly regret that the last Leg
islature failed to pass temperance law.
There never was a time within our remem-
berance, that such a law was more needed
and there never was more favorable time
than the present, to get such law enact
ed without having it mixed up with
politics. 1t was not made question ii
the late elections; all parties expected sucl
a law and demanded it, but we were doom
ed to disappointment. Two years Longer
we are to be cursed with these sinks of in
iquity, Ciquor shops unless an extra ses
sion of the Legislature should be called
and if it should be, we have no assurance
that anything will be done to check tn
evils of intemperance, which are so fear
fully on the increase. Such bill as pass
ed the lower House last winter, would pu
stop to so much drunkenness, and there
by curtail tho pauper expenses in all those
counties through which rail roads pass, a
least two-thirds. We are of the opin
ion that there is not liquor dealer in towr
chad that bill passed,) but would have
complied with the law in stanter.

kanSaSI

We have watched the course of events
IN that Inflated country for the last year
with no little solicitude. until within the
last month or two we were of the opinion
that 1T would certainly form Constitution
prohibiting slavery, but the late news COM
pels us to arrive at a different conclusion
The leading men of the republican party
acknowledge that the Free State men have
decided majority; were they what they
pretend to be, Tin favor of freedom, Kan
sas would never ask for admission into the
Union as Slave State. The programme
laid down by the great lights of the party,
is, for the Free State men TO stand alooi
entirely-have nothing to do with any
election that may be held to elect Delegates
TO form Constitution; unless we arc very
much mistaken, that is the course which
the Free State party will pursue when the
election of Delegates takes place. AS they
have decided majority and could elect
Free State men for Delegates, were they
disposed to do SO. They will not do it
simply because the leaders of the party
think that If Kansas should be admitted a.
. Free Safe, there would be no show fol
them in 1860. They have argued for the
last twelve mOnth7 that Kansas would be
Slave State. and it seems that they are de-
termined to bring about that result if posi-
Bile; the most superficial observer cannot
fail to sec that it would be disastrous to the
republican cause for Kansas to be admitted
as a free State. Since Gov. Geary's resig-
nation. the republican editors have been
very active in giving publicity to some re-
marks which appeared in the Missouri

PLYMOUTH, IND.
Thursday Morning, April 10Th, 1857,
The Black Republican Faction,

Partaking of the spirit that led their
party to hope for the "rule or ruin" of our
country when they refused to vote sup
plies for our suffering army in Mexico
and refused, in Congress, to vote the
necessary appropriations to sustain the
Government, that party who concocted
the traitorous scheme of the Hartford Con-
vention, have earned for themselves, by
their reckless "dog in-the Manager" policy
in defeating the Appropriation bill. a de-
gree Of .infamy which The people will
most righseously award them.
Political capital seems to be the sole
cad and aim of each movement Of the Re-
pubhcans. In none is it more manifest,
than in their action last winter Their
factious course in defeating the Appro-
sion Bill, has led to most deplorable re-
suits. The Benevolent Institutions Of
the State have been closed, and the unfor-
tunate inmates, having been bereft by
black repnblicanism of the support to
which they are entitled, are now torn from
comfortable homes provided by the State
and have become tenants of the Poor
House. And all this comes of the factious
spirit Of black republcanism, that stalked
abroad in our Legislature last winter
blighting everything that it touched, and
rendering every effort that the Democracy
put forth to pass the Appropriation Bill
Powerless, because these black republicans
had the majority. and were laying plots to
advance their political schemes, instead OF
1aboring for the good of the people.
The scene at the Blind Asylum, when
the scholars were informed that the Insti-
tuition was to be closed, and that they
were now to be scattered among the differ
emit Poer-houses of the State, was very af-
fecting. Many burst into tears at the
thought of leaving those to whom they
were SO strongly attached, and all bitterly
regretting to leave their comfortable home,
and bidding farewell-perhaps forever
to their old associates, and those who bad
so kindly cared for them.
We learn that day or two after it was
announced to the pupils of the BLIND
Asylum that it must be closed, one o
them attempted TO commit suicide by
cutting his throat When asked his reason
for SO doing. he said he chad no friends
and would rather die than 60 to the Poor
house."
The black republicans, staggering under
the crushing blow that the PEOPLE. ir
their wisdom, dealt to their wild scheme:
to assume the National control Of on,
country, like drowning men, catch even a
straws," as they are sinking. In the var
attempt to make political capital instead o
trying to advance the honor and interest:
OF the State, their time, last winter, wa:
spent In concocting their factious schemes
But all this will avail them nothing
The development of their schemes brings
them only condemnation, and each sue
cseding year proves those to be Drifting
still farther from the confidence Of tn,
People.

it is quite amusing to see what an effort
the State Journal and the lessor lights are
making to extricatc the Republican men,
bers of the Senate from the awkward pre-
dicament in which they saw proper to place
themselves, by refusing to pass the neces-
sary laws to keep the State government in
motion.
Since the officers of the Asylum for the
Insane have given notice to the Clerks OF
the different counties to remove the In
sane, the opposition papers are giving Gov.
Willard Hail Columbia for not calling
an extra session. Enough time has elapsed
for them to ascertain that the public will
hold them responsible for the evils result
ing to all classes of community in conse-
quence Of their refusal to assist in passing
the necessary laws.
We are inclined to the opinion that
those Republican Senators who controlled
the majority, would be pleased to have an
opportunity to atone, in some small de-
gree at least, for the ruin they have brought
on the State; hence their anxiety for an ex-
ira session.
