eide, or the Offering Of human sacrifices. Yet we
hardly think that even the Democracy would cal
for the admission Of Territory in which these
pleasing practices were sanctioned BY law, unless
indeed they were in sore need Of new State to help
their majority in the Senate, or to carry Pres-
DE- ntial election.
The Doctors Of Divinity in their simplicity, IN
doubtedy, thought that there was nothing In the
Constitution authorizing invasion, rape, arson, ille-
gal voting and cruelties hardly surpassed in bar
bsrty by thoee of the East Indian insurgents.
Wien they supposed the President to be gentle
man, and sent to him their perfectly respectful ap'
peal, Bobby Walker was lowering around the
City CT Lawrence, backed BY United States soldiers
ard intent upon dragoonpg the citizens out of their
liberties. The Doctors believing Gas we believe)
that the present $50 called Government OF
Kansas i, a naked and indefensible usurpatiOn,
begged the President to nterpose for the prevention
of bloed,hed, and to save the little city from
repetition Of those crueltes which had once already
been inflicted upon it, The President replies that
the remonstrants are blOckheads and know nothing
of the Constitution, and his satrsps, lickspiftes
and tuft.hunters, cry "Amen!" God help us, say
We, if all the intelligence of the country is concen-
trated in the Democratic party!
We wish that this orator whose speech We have
been considering could tell the truth; bat it really
decent seem to be much in bis line-ss for instance:
find that solutions which my iend has u't intro
dueeo precisely those for which the National Democray Of
have been conteBdng tor years and on those
principles there are now no divisions"
What whOpper The man must have had
40 unusually large trachea to get that out without
coughing. The resolutions thus politely referred
to indOrse Taneys bred Scott law aud Douglass
Kansas law, and sll the new and fashionable Demo
cratic iniquites. Now, when this person says that
the Massachusetts, Democrats have been contend.
ing for these ra,cslities for years, he utters
bouncer. He knows better. He knows that the
so.called "princpe" of the Nebraska bill was
never mentioned ard never thought of by any
Massachusetts, Democrat before Douglas preached
it in tie Senate. He knows that "for years the
Democrats of Massachusetts strove with the Wings
which party should be considered the most Anti.
Slavery. He knows this full well, because
he used to write the phianthropic resolutions. He
knows that when Massachusetts, had but one Dem
ocratic Member of Congress, that member always
voted with bis Wing colleagues against Gag Laws
aud other Pro- Slavery measures. lie knows that
there was time when Democratic candidate in
the Bay State would have cut of his nose before
be would have written or spoken word in favor
Of the Fugitive Slave BILL or the Nebraska BILL or
any lndr red measure. Aud as be knows all this,
we ray ii at it s subIirney and inefably impudent
for him to attempt to give prestige Of venerable
antiquity to measures which are us new as they are
wicked. But il is always so. Whenever the party
star ia new dodge, we are always told that the
Democracy "bare been eontending for it for
years" In this pertinacty Of assertion, and in
this alone, are they consistent.
