Triumph Of Free 1nstitntiona.


In noticing the fact that the disu-
nionists Of the Southern States have
endeavorod by a series of usurpations
and threatenings to deprive the North
and the Northern settlers in Kansas
Of every right, political aud civil, and
to drive them like outlaws from their
just dOmain-that Kansas, by com
pact, solemnly ratified by the South, was
as justly the property Of the Northwest,
as Texas is the property Of the South
and that the South received Missouri as
her share Of the compromise, and 70 do
mand Kansas also, was dishonorable
and perfdious-the St. Louis Democrat
thus pointedly remarks:
"Perhdy is its own reward The out

ed to steal Kansas, by exasperating tho

Every one who knows the character
Of the people of Kansas, and the histo-
ry which has formed that character, is
familiar with these facts. lie knows
that no stone ha, been unturned that

JUDGE NOT A MAN.


Judge mot man by the cost Of his clothing,
Unheediug the lie path that he may pursue,
Or Of you'll admire a heart that needs oathing,
And fall TO give honor where honor Is due.
The pnlm may be hard and the fingers stiff
jouled
The coat may be tattered, tho cheek worn
with tears,
But greater than kings are Labor's anointed,
And you 'tjudge a man by the coat that
he wears.
Give me the msn as friend and a nsighbor
Who tolls at the loom--tho spade or the
plow--
who wins his diploma Of manhood by labor.
And purchases wealth by the sweat Of his
brow.
Why should tho bro8dcloth alone be rsspec tod
And the man be despised who in fustiau ap-
pears7
While the angels In heaven have their limbs
unprotected,
You can't judge a man by the coat that he
wears.
Judge Of a man by tho work he IS doing
Speak Of a mun nB his actions demnndi
Watch we'll the path that each is pursuing,
And lot tho most worthy bechisf Of the land
And the man may bo found mid the close ranks
Of labor,
Be known by the work that his Industry
FBam,
And his chlefdom, whom won, shall bo dear to
his nelghbor,
And we'll honor the man, whatever he wears.

How TO MAKE TEA PRoFERLY.-The proper
way to make a cup full Of good tea is mat

and is allowed to stand five minutes before it

TOM the result Is that the tea leaves ara not

poured over them, aud you get all tho true
flavor Of the tea, In truth, much less tea is
required IN this way, than under the old and
common practice.

Lieutenant Gorernor.

The Republican party have doubtless
been fortunate in the selection Of their
candidate for the Lieutenant Governor
ship. The Hon, MARTIN WELKER, is,
we learn, a gentleman in every respect,
well qualified for the office. lie repre-
sents the younger ceass Of men of Ohio,
and the large and constantly increasing
vote which he received in the Conven-
ton, is a strong evidence of his popular
ity. He is a native Buckeye, born and
raised in the region Of the State from
which he halls, and his claims we're
specially urged by those who have
known him from his boyhood. A law
yer of more than ordinary ability, pos
sossing a clear, accurate, and thorough
ly disciplined legal mind, and uniting
with it great decision and purity Of char
acter, he was, after the adoption of the
new Constitution, unanimously nomina-
ted by the Republicans of his district
for the Judgeship in the counties of
Wayne, Holmes and Coshocton, and
elected by a large majority in a district
which has ever been regarded as one
Of the strong-holds of the Democracy. "
His Judicial career, which extended
over a large number Of counties in the
interior of tho State, was one of much
popularity, He did great credit to him
self, and reflected much honor on the
Judiciary Of the State. He retired, at
the close Of his term, with reputation
for sound judgment, accurate learning,
and honesty and integrity of character
which the Republicans Of Ohio may be
justly proud. Perhaps few men of the
State retired from the trying position
of the Bench, whose official career was
more universally and justly commend

Ex.Auditor Morgan.

Failing to procure our cooperation in
an examination that was intended to ro-
suit in throwing this new default ezclu-
clusively upon Breslin, the State officials,
through their newspapers and perjured
tools, would gladly fix on the public
mind the belief, that we had said to them
and others, that we knew whilst Audi
tor of State, that this additional defal-
cation of S547, 900 existed and that it
occurred during Breslin's term of Office
". D, Morgan, IN the Ne,oark AduO-
cate.
We do not wonder that Morgan, after
the exposure Of his conduct, should at
tempt to avert the judgment which in
telligent minds are everywhere pro
nouncing upon him. 1t is natural
But he should not go unexposed, when
he falsifes and misrepresents to accom-
plsh that object. The estate officials
have done nothing Of the kind, as charg-
ed in the above extract The Bepubli-
can press has charged nothing like it
upon him, and no one knows that this
imputation is false better than does Mr..
AlDL gan AluAhgAls
We hare charged, and have proved
that, at the time and since Mr. Morgan
was Auditor of State, he declared his
belief that Brcslin was Corrupt as hell
that he was a defaulter, that he was US
ing the public money illegally and i'm e.
properly. So strong was his conviction,
yea, knowledge, on this score, that he
refused to sell the stock of the State in
the Mad River Rail Road when he was
offered par for it, on the ground that the
money would go into the hands of Bres-
lin, and would be squandered and lost
to the State We have not charged that
Morgan knew the exact sum for which
Breslin was a defaulter, But, we hare
charged and proved that he knew of his
corruption, and, knowing of it, and act
ing officially upon this conviction, he
still consented to be nominated on the
same ticket with him, and to use his ut
mostefforts during the campaign Of 1855,
to re-elect this same corrupt defaulter to
the Office of Treasurer of State.
This is our charge against Mr.. Nor
gan. 1t is known TO be true by every
politician in Ohio. 1t is not denied by
him. He stands pilloried by his own
confession, a spectacle and a warning to
all demagogues, for all future time.-O

Missouri Legislature.

Tho Missouri election, which, accord
ing to the returns Of the Democratic
officers puts Stewart (Dom.) in the
Chair Of State, by some 300 majority,
is really a decisive victory for the eman-
cipationists. The St, Louis Democrat
thus states the result:
We have carried both branches Of the
General Assembly, a majority of the ju-
dicial circuits, three Congressional Dis
tricts by large majorities, aud have con-
tested closely three others, leaving only
one that the nullifers can with certainty
call their own at the next election,

the late election shows which is to be

Gov. Chase, Of Ohio.


We have already announced in cur
paper the denomination Of this gentle
man'for Governor of the noble State of
Ohio. The nomination is reported to
have been made by acclamation, with
shouts Of rejoicing and pealing Of can
non. Salmon p. Chase is truly a great
man--a statesman, and a man of cor
rect Owe believe, spotless) moral charac-
ter. He has coufessedly made a fear
less, honest, and able executive, done
the State service and himself credit and
honor as Chief Magistrate. Such are
the men who should be chosen to high
positionA Those whose lives arc stain
ed by private immoralities, by drunk
enness and debauchery, cannot be trust
ed with public affairs; those incompe-
tent never should be; mere groveling,
mOusing politicians arc also unworthy.
Why do we (of all parties) so foolishly
and frequently place weak frail, bad
men, neither mentally nor morally self
guarded, in positions whore temptations
are ten-fold greater than in private life?
While we would not think Of hiring a
dishonest, drunken, debauched, or in
competent clerk, we lightly and care
lessly make such men our legislators,
congressman and governors. 1t is a
testimony Of the intelligence of the
people Of Ohio that such men as Gov
ernor Chase, although charged with the
crime Of hating slavery most intensely,
are nominated with acclamations and
rejoicings When such men govern,
the people may dwell in peace-Pus-

NEGRO Equality"

The sham Democracy are evidently
hard up for arguments in the present
canvass, for about all the capital they
seem to have is the old cry Of "Aboli-
tionist," "Ncgro Suffrage, "Negro
Equality" &c, &c. Every Democratic
paper and orator is ringing the changes
on these stale and worn-out epithots
which have been used so long that they
have ceased to have any terror for SEN
siblo men. Still the demagogucs con
tinuc to use thom, apparently from the
force Of habit, and no doubt hope by
their clamor to keep the people in ig-
uoranco Of the real issues involved in
the canvass With men who never read
or think for themselves, such clap trap
devices may succeed, but tho mass of
our citizens are too intelligent to be in
.aucncod by them.

OREGON is convulsed by Slavery az
itation, in spite Of her high northern
latitude. Briehy-the "National De-
mocracy" is fully in power therein, and
is, there as everywhere, a Pro-Slavery
party. It has just chosen a Convention
to frame a State Constitution, and that
Convention is about as strongly Pro
Slavery as Democratic Little doubt
remains that the Convention viii frame
a clause making Oregon Slave State,
and submit it separately to the People.
By them, however, it will pretty sure
ly be voted down-all the Republicans
and a minority of Democrats voting
against it. The Democratic leaders
will, however, have accomplished one
Of their main objects-they will have
commended themselves to the favor Of
the ruling power at Washington as em-
