1t was II saving Of old, that lyrauts plan
their own downfall; ia later times, wise
men get beyond wisdom, cunning men
head themselves, aud knaves are often
fooled by their own tricks. Great Grim
inals generally make return of their own
crimes, become witnesses of their WI guilt
and seal their WI death warrant. BY a
late invented apparatus in France, the
platform wherein the cuIprit is placed is
made to bear down by his weight-draw-
ing up the AK aud s%evering the head, thus
compelling him to be his " executioner.
This invention is consistent with Nature s
irrevocable laws; these truths are all in re-
markable harmony with the events of
Kansas and Illustrate the end of that Gun
ninglv devised conduct which Walker has
shown from time TO time. Under a sneak
inc cloak of fairness he undertook 10 ac-
complish all for Slavery; he sought not to
win the free State men but TO conquer byI
dividing them. The administration pre-
tended TO disapproYe his conduct in order
to harmonise the south and deceive the
north-yet truly selling both They have
BETRAYED themselves; the Republican vote
was overwhelming. Walker says in his
proclamation that 1923 votes were forged
to defeat The Republicans at the Oxford
polls, where the entire vote could not ex-
ceed 1913. He visited the place of voting
and found all parties rid;culing and de-
.nouneing the forgery. He is forced to tca-
tify against his own party and become the
executioner of his own men BY placing them
in a hopeless minority in their legislative
counsels! His double dealings and two
transactions are expo>d by his own
men and he exposes his own party. The
damage is mutual. The event also makes
ii clear that all the bogus voting, forger-
les and Internal wrongs alleged in our Re-
publican prints, have been truly reported
No man but a fanatic or party fool will
heneeforth doubt that 5000 M~issourians
voted in 1854, and that forgery was uni
~versally practiced by the pro-siavery men
until ii could no longer be tolerated, ex
cert by the very worst Of men.
Kansas is free, but Who shall he thank
ed? Not Walker, Cor he only did what
he was compelled to do; not the Demo
cratic party, for they all enlisted On the
Slavery side; not the administration for

Thus it is with Human Slavery; the

for planning It's Overthrow, for they don't
