See What the Democratic Party in
the States think.

We copy the following from the
Cincinnati Daily Inquirer Of the 2lst
ult. The Inquirer is one Of the ablest
and most ardent supporters of the
present Administration and the
Democratic party, and reflects their
sentiments:
A Coop SUaaEsTIoN.-The st.
Louis Republican, in noticing the
treasonous resistance to the laws in
Kanzas, which has called forth the
late proclamation of Governor Wal
ker, very appropriately says:
eff Governor Walker would pro-
ceed at once to hang some half-dozen
plotters of treason in Kanzas, such
as Lane, Robinson, Parrot and two
or three others, he would remove at
once the chief cause of difficulty
there. The people, as body, are
satisfied with Governor Walker and
his administration, and do not care q
rush for the Topeka Legislature and
Convention with its tomfooleries and
absurdities. We reiterate what we
have before said half a dozen times,
there is no alternative but to enforce
the laws of Kanzas, if necessary, at
the point Of the bayonet. Let the
consequences be upon tho heads of
those who reasonably resist"
The Inquirer, in speaking of Gov
ernor Walkers manifesto, says L" it
will bo approved by every law and
order citizen who is opposed to an
srchy and violence"
Observe that the Inquirer, a news
paper published in the free North,
quotes from the st. Louis Republican,
the most rabid and mendacious of
Border Rufion journals; paper
issuing from an establishment which
Col. BENTON very opriatcly terms
the foundry Of lies." and prefxeS
this quotation by calling it "a good
suggestion" and that it Every ap-
propriately says" &c; thus giving
full sanction to tho Republicans s
article.
Free State men--you who have
fought, bled, been imprisoned, and
suffered so much in your efforts tc
maintain your rights, and who, by
your sacrificing spirit and noble acts
ofheroism, blasted the schemes of thu
Slave oligarchy and successfully
planted the standards of Freedom OF
the soil where the clanking of tn,
poor serf's chains and the cracking
Of the masters whip were to rever
brate over the hills and through th'
dales--what do you think Of thi :
For those instances of devotion t.
your country and to Freedom, 20,
are called rebels, and are told tina
hanging would be but awarding yoV
your deserts, The Topeka Constitu
tion, which is the life, the soul, tn
very embodiment Of your principles
and which is approved Of by ever,
friend of Free Kanzas throughou
the world, is sneered at and ridiculed
and those Missouri laws, which, eve,
were they legally binding upon you
would deprive you Of every veStig
of your rights, you aro told ougb
to bo enforced, even at the point Q
the bayonet.
These are the sentiments of tn
Democratic party in tho States
They are the sentiments Of the NS
tional Democratic party of KanzaI
They are tho sentiments Of ever
enemy Of your sacred cause. WhO
hope can you expect from that party
were you TO acquiosce in thoirschome
What possible chance is there Of evt
making Kanzas a free State sav
through thomoans You have adopted
IL behooves you to regard with sut
picion the enemies Of your cherishe
organization. When you hear me
railing at the results Of your wor
which arc cOmOnted in your hearts b
ths blood Of your fathers and broth
erS shed on tho plains Of Kanza
remember that they coincide wit
tho sentiments Of tho Dsmorcati
