Jusr VERDIcr.-Mr. NORMAN s. WAY,
an old and respected resident of Grant
County, had his leg broken in two places
and his hip broken or disjointed by the
memorable collision on the Ohio and
Pennsylvania Railroad in December, 1855
He has nearly recovered from his wounds
though stifened in his joints and lamet
for life. He has since recovered judgmen
against the company for $500. The
company appealed in order probably t.
postpone payment. It is notorious tina,
railroad companies are in the habi: Of ap
pealing the most triAing case, even from :
verdict in favor of poor dumb Irishmen 70,
per diems-with the double view of post
poning payment and entirely cheating
those they MAIN, disable or justly owe.-
Perhaps when railroads are called to settle
their final acc ,unts they will owe the worlt
more than the world will owe them.

Kansas Election.

St. Louis, Oct. ~.
The Leavenworth, Krnsas, Herald of
the 10th SAYS the official returns of Leav-
enworth county, are nearly complete. The
average Democratic majority $50, secur-
ing five members of the lower, and five o
the upper house.
Average Democratic majority in Atch-
ison county, 60, i%nsuring three mem
hers to the lower, and one to the upper
house.
Jefferson county, Republican by $50,
giving two members to the house, one tt
the council.
Douglas CO., Rep. by 1900. Johnson
county, Dem. by 1900. The districts
formed by these two counties elected eigh,
members Of the house and three OF the
council, and the Democrats claim the cleo
ton of the whole ticket by sixty MAORI
ty.
Shawnee county, Republican majority
$50.
Calhoun county, Republican MAORI
ty "a; elects one member of the house.
Democrats charge that numbers of arm
ed men came from Nebraska, and voted
Republican ticket. The Democrats claim
majority in both branches of the Legisla-
ture.
HNo reliance can be placed upon
election news from Kansas. The chances
are that Parrot, Republican, is elected del
egate to Congress by a majority of thous,

against his ever being delegate. The
struggle is not yet ended we fear.

Innocence is the last garb resorted to by
rogues, and shows that every other appli-
ance has failed to conceal their filthy Ma.
|kedness. The Democr acy are at last out
under the baby act in a thin garb of limo
cence. They are "neither Pro- Slavery
nor Anh Slavery"-but stand upon the
Constitution as expounded by themselves.
The day was when Democracy meant free
trade, freedom from banks, human rights
rs %expounled by Jefferson, free territory
and free states. But now democracy
means restricted trade, banks in every vii
lage and frog pond, slavery as ~expounded
by Calhoun, the rights of shareholders in
all the territories and a right ander the
Constitution to catch niggers, hold niggers
and amalgamation with niggers all over
the United States. They are opposed te
slavery in the North but are not a~nti-sla.
very-oppose slavery yet always apologize
for it; they oppose slavery-agitation, yet
every message Of their President is a lee
ture on slavery-every speech and platform
of theirs a string of arguments and feeble
Qualifications Of slavery. You would think
to hear them talk that the American Con.
stitution was a code of laws regulating,
perpetrating and extending slavery, with.
out a single right of any man to be free
yet, they are without any side at all on
the negro qnestion-"neither Pro Slavery
nor Anti Slavery" They are political
babes, nursing at the Constitution bag for
the few drops of negro slavery-blood sup
posed to exist therein. Like the bloody
whelps Of Esop's she-tiger, let out by
their mother to suckle with a sheep,
they begin to sicken al. the smell
of wool in their Constitution, as they ex-
pound it and hope for relief from such a
dose of Guinea gall and African pepper
juice-scented with wool, wool aud wool!
May God bring relief and add His blessing
to these sickly infants!

Democracy of ASl9.
Democracy Of 1857.


The reader will notice or the first side
of our paper the Democratic resolutions OF
Wisconsin adopted by their State Conven-
ton in ls49: also, their resolutions adopt
ed in State Convention in 1857. 1t will
be seen that in l849 it was Democratic
to grant the public lands only to actual
settlers under reasonable limitations at
the lowest possible price. 1t has since
been Democratic to transfer the public
lands to large capitalists by the township
at The lowest possible appraisement.
In 1s49, river and harbor improvements
by the government was constitutional and
necessary. In 1857 it is unconstitutional
and wrong for the government to improve
rivers and harbors.
In lS49, free trade and direct taxation
wasDemocratic. 1t has not been Democrat
ic since = the question never having beer
raised, except how to raise the most posi-
bic amount by any process and pocket
it.
In 1a49 the Democracy resolved that
they were opposed to banks and banking
institutions, In 1857 almost every prom
inent .~locofoco in the State owns. a banl
or is president of bank, and it is notori.
GUS that banks managed by Democrats are
as badly governed as the State was wher
the whole party was in power.
In lS49 they resolved to embrace Can
ada with open arms and aid that Province
into our Union. They have since forgot
ten Canada, which is too far north; the eli
mate don't suit for wool. They are after
Nicaragua, Cuba and South America, be
