Asa reason for placing the Ashland
Union in the list of papers opposed to
the Kansas policy of the Administration
and of TIE Democratic party, the States.
man says our paper was embraced in the
said list " because it contained a long
article arguing that Congress should op-
pose the Lecompton scheme" IF our
friends of the Statesman had carefully
read the article referred to, they would
have discovered that it concluded with
the following paragraph:
Whether these views accord with
those of Mr.. KNAPP;'o or the Democracy of
the county, upon this question, we do not
know. We hope they do. Whether they
do or not, we alone are responsible for

This article was written and published
by Mr. JACOBS in the Union of Dec. 2,
and at a time when we were absent from
home. He was not then in possession of
the true facts in the case, having, like
many others, been misled by false lights.

We copy the following excellent article
from the Washington Union, and COM
mend it to the attention of the Democra.
cy of Ashland and of all ether counties.
It is brief, but crowded with good sense
"H4RMoNY AND UNIoN.-It is by no
means surprising that the black republican
press should exult over the possible es-
arrangement from the Democratic party of
some of those in the northern States who
have, up to this moment, aided In it's sue
cess and rejoiced in its victories. They
distinctly perceive that their own pros
poets of ultimate victory are discouraging
indeed, except through the division and
separation of the dominant party. Their
congratulations over: the discomfort of a few
should admonish the latter of the posi-
Bile effects that may follow their ill-advised
course, and that, if persisted in, they
must find refuge, where all other dis
contents have found it, IN the ranks of
the opposition. We do not, however, en-
terrain any serious apprehensions that the
hopes of the black republicans will be re-
allied. On . single point, there is a d.
versity of opinion among members of the
democratic party as to the proper policy
to pursue. The issue is a temporary aone,
that must quickly find it's solution in the
action of the people of Kansas themselves,
orSin the authoritative action of Congress.
Wisdom and sound policy urge that no
hasty decision shall be pronounced Upon
a trans,tory issue which might array a
section of the party against a Democratic
administration and a great majority of its
own members. The tone of the dissenting
press justifes the assertion that such con-
sideI atiops are having their proper weight;
all agree in utterly repudiating the idea
that they can coalese with the black re-
publicans. The c~ause.of the arrangement
will be removed the moment Kansas shall
hare been admitted into the Union as
a State-an event that cannot now be long
postponed. Thenceforth the Kansas ques-
ton will cease to be an issue affecting ma
tionaf politics, andsthe people of Kansas
vii. have no oeeasion to obtrude the man
agement of their local affairs upon Con-
gressional notice.
