RATHER HARD.-The Milwaukee Free
Democrat condoles with the editor of the
Toledo Commercial (Mr. Rilcy) for his re-
moval by the new Administration from the
Collectorship at Toledo. 1t says "Whcn
Mr.. Riley first took hold of the Commercial,
1t was fashionable for the Northern Democ-
racy to talk Free Soil Thus, when Mr.
Wood run for Governor upon strong Free
Soil platform in 1851, there was not Dem
ocratic paper in Ohio that did not preach
in favor of the non-extension of slavery
Mr. Riley, whose business it was to keep
within the fold of the radical Democracy of
North Western Ohio, was particularly Sc
we're upon the Compromise measures of so,
and the Fugitive Slave Act. In 1852, Mr..
Riley supported Gen Pierce, and for this he
was rewarded with the Toledo ColIcctorship
worth about $4,000 per annum. Mr.. Ri
ley is man Of considerable talent, aud well
earned this reward. But under tho new
Administration, an ex-Congressman, whom
Mr.. Riley severely denounced in times past,
for his vote in favor of tho Fugitive Act,
took file of tho Commercial and went to
Washington, where he unfolded those evil
dences of treason and aboitionism, before
the astonished gaze of Mr.. Cobb. This
gentleman, foolishly believed that Riley ac-
tually meant what he said decapitated him
forthwith, and appointed an Irishman in
his place. Had Mr.. Cobb been better post
ed in Northern politics, he would have known
that these anti-Slayery professions were on
ly made to be repudiatcd after the election
was over.

why Free State MEN SHOULD Vote.

All the pro-slayery influences are set at
work in and out of Kansas to get the Free
State men to vote. A letter in the ST.
Louis Democrat, dated at Lecompton, says
"Great efforts are being made to buy up a
few selfish Free State men. to vote at and
lcgalize the Bogus election"
This extract reveals the necessities Of the
administration and the Walker plan of op-
erations When that gentleman felt it to
be "a solemn duty" to accept the Office Of
Governor, he gave out that there should be
a fair convass, and that every man in Kan
sas who was bona fide settler, should be
secured in his right 10 vote. But how Sc
cured Why, according to the bogus cen
sus. By this course of treatment it was
hoped that Free State men enough could be
brought over to give some plausibility to the
election, and that the slave constitution and
the slave Senators could thus be palmed
off on Congress. II is strange to us that
any real Free State man can be caught in
that trap. If Kansas is 10 be brought into
the Union by fraud the Free State men will
not strengthen their cause before the country
by being parties TO the outrage 2oledc

Governor Chase.

The Republicans of Ohio are rejoicing at
having obtained Gov. Chase's consent to
be candidate for reelection. The Buck
eyes arc proud of their Governor, and believe
they have the best and most talented Ex-
ccutive in the Union. Gov. Chase has
grown more popular every day since his
election. He is a wise and upright Govern
or, and fair specimen of the principles of
the Republican party in Ohio. There arc
thousands of men who opposed his election
two years ago who will give him cordial
and enthusiastic support. When he ran be-
fore he was beaten in his own county
Hamilton-s,000 votes. His friends have
no doubt but he can carry it next Fall by a
handsome majority. 1t is not believed the
remains Of the "American" party will put up
candidate against him. The dispensation
of the patronage belonging to his Office, was
made with exceeding good judgment and
gave general satisfaction TO all portions Of
the Opposition.
Under his prudent and economical ad-
ministration the taxes of Ohio have been
reduced nearly two mills on the dollar, SC
that financially as well as politically he
stands high with the people. All unpreju.
diced men concedc that he is the best and
ablest Governor, Ohio has ever had; and
the people of that State, are resolved to re-
tain his services as long as the organic law
will allow them Chicago Democart.

DEAD MEMS SHOES.

The black democracy have been hoping
and praying for, and prophecying the death
of the republican party ever since the last
presidential campaign. Indeed, in his ex-
treme anxiety for such an event. Mr.. Bu-
chanan actually declared that it was dead
The proverb says ats i'll waiting for dead
mons Shoes" and we apprchcnd it will find
new verification in this instance. The
wish is evidently father to tho thought
and while they wish us dead, and begin to
believe that we are dead, they will wake
somc fine morning and fine us more alive
than ever. What fine time this modern,
sham democracy would have, if it were not
for this republican ghost If this terror,
which so haunts its dreams, could only be
laid, democracy might draw closer its bonds
with the slave-drivers, and sit lord of this
land forevermore Then such disunion doc
trines as these would never be heard offs
that all men are born free and equal; that
no man (not even nigger) can be deprived
of life, liberty or property without due process
of law; that this government was establish.
ed to extend freedom not slavery! Then,
with what national jubilation, with what
peans to the Union, with what tender ex-
pressions of fraternity, would fugitive be
sent back to bondagel
Then, how would the craving patriotism
of a multitude of national democrats whom
the people of the free states have wiped their
shoes on, be appeased with fat offices Is
there no hope of such happy results as these |!
Will not "black republcansm" die, just to
oblige these anxious and deserving demo-
cratss We are forced to reply, and we say
it with tenderest regard for the sorrow it
will cause our democratic friends, the repub-
lican party have concluded not to die just
at present. If anything could overcome
our disinclination to depart for the better
land, it would be the earnest wish Of the
black democracy; specially when we remem-
Der that we should thereby get rid of them
forever. But on reflection we think We are
two young to die. Besides we see large
amount of work to be done, and we feel our
selves every day better able to do it. While
yet in the gristle, we have thrashed black
democracy in the free states till it yelled
again. We intend to break every bone in
its body before we are done with it. After
we have made freedom national, and sent
tho last national democrat to his own place,
we will begin to consider our latter end
But at the present we are resolved to live
and not die.

GERMAN EMGRANTs TO KANsAs.-The
Kansas correspondent of the St. Louis
Democrat, under the date of the goth ult.,
says:
"Immigrants by hundreds are constantly
arriving IN Kansas. A colony of Germans,
from Hartford, Conn.,, numbering twenty
five families, arrived here las. week. They
have not yet decided in what section of the
Territory they shall make settlement
They are accompanied by the Rev. Mr..
Legantetz. This little company is but the
advance guard Of what is to follow from
Connecticut and Germany, provided these
men send back favorable report-which
they will do-for all arc delighted with
the country, and are determined to make
this their future home. They held religious
services in the Unitarian Church, in this
city, yesterday afternoon. The ceremony
was conducted in the German language.
Another party of Germans arrived here
last week from Chicago and vicinity, and
have purchased town site on the Shawnee
reserve, about ten miles cast of this point,
taken claims in that neighborhood, and in
tend settlement upon them as rapidly as
possible.

The Democrat says Quoting from some-
body elso) that the republicans or their lead
ers, desire that Kansas may be slave state;
because II Il were to come in free, that would
take the wind out Of our sails. Now we
beg leave to state in the politest manner
possible, that this is mean and deliberate
falsehood. To every man and every paper
that repeats it we apply the description
which Tom Benton gavc of some scamp who
assailed him, "a dirty dog, sir, dirty dog"
The Democrat, the Messenger, and all the
rest of the dirty tribe, found this SANDER at
present on the refusal of the free state men
of Kansas to vote for delegates to the con-
stitutional convention. Now be it under
stood, that if the free state men can be al
lowed to vote, and have the vote truly re-
corded, we should bc glad indeed to have
them do so. But il the rascally scenes
of former elections in Kansas arc to be re-
peated; if thousands of illegal votes are to
be cast, and other thousands of legal votes
refused, then we think the FREQ state men do
wisely not to vote at all. Why should they
give the sembance of legality and fairness
to an election which is only to be used to
cheat them9 The bowling set up by the
"dirty dogs" before spoken Of, at tho refus-
al of the free state men to vote, is to our
mind the bcst possible evidence of the wis
dom of that refusal. No set of pickpockcts
ever made moro lugubrious faces, because
honest men Stunned their company, than do
the border rufiians and their abettors, be-
cause the FREQ state men will not vote. Of
one thing the Messenger and Democrat,
"par mobile tratruna," may rest assured
They may accuse us as much as they please
of desiring to have Kansas slave state -
but no provocation shall induce us to rctort
by accusing them of wishing to have it a
free state
