1t is by no means sure that Kansas Will NOT yet
be juggIed into further difficulties but assuming
that tue State dole oto ~ Congress and Free
State majority in the Legislature are secured, we
want to say few words to the eager Democratic
and o-Slavery american gentlemen, who,
being arrested in the attempt to make Kansas
Slave State are making the best of bad case BY
vocferatng that the freedom of Kansas is the death
of the Republican party.
II, as these gentlemen have amused themselves
and their partsans BY constantly declaring, the Re-
publican party were Kansas party only, the free
dom Of Kansas would undoubtedly be the end OF the
party, as when bridge contractor has built
bridge that particular job is done; but he does not,
therefore, that we are aware, Immediately retire
from business; and if in that special spot he has put
up stout serviceable bridge, he is not likely to be
profoundly disturbed by any IDIOT swinging his heels
on the rails aud shouting, There your nose is
"out of joint; you've built your bridge"
The Republican party is the organization Of the
Free Labor sentiment of this country, as the Con.
tinental Army was the organization of the RevOlu
tiOnary spirit Of '76. The People did no! rise to
fight battle, but to secure principle for which
they might have to fight many battles. They car
red the contest through seven years, from Concord
Bridge to Yorktown, by the way Of Trenton Mon
mouth, Long Island, the COwpeas, Saratoga, and
many other fields Of mark; and they stopped at
Yorktown, not because the enemy lost that battle
but because they were then willing to concede the
principle for which all the battles had been fought
Wouldn't it have been a wise Tory who said,
after the Americans were victorious at Monmouth,
There! you We beat We always said you were
making great fuss about nothing; you We gained
the day, and there's the end of your So man

watch He kicks him into the street, and Light

OF coarse, have MT got your watch. never ex-
pected to have it."
Except he had been kicked out, he would have
stolen the watch; except the Americans had con-
quered, we should be provinces still; except for
the 1900 900 Republican votes in 1856, the l. SOC
Oxford votes would have been received without q
qualm in 1857; and it is as sagacous TO suppose
the Republican party is at an end because Kausa.

the watch would hereafter leave bis door unlocked
because his watch was not stolen. Wherever thu
enemies Of Free Labor mean to fsht the battle which
their twn repeal of the Missouri Compromise ha.
engaged, there the Republican party will bs found
and ready for the conflict.
Its not Kansas party, nor a Nebraska party
nor New-Me1ico party; it il the party of th,
