EI~The Democratic stumpcrs are ex-
ultant in their speeches over the fact, as
Mey assert, that their party has always
ruled the country. Butthe three cardinal
doctrines of that party are "opposiiion to
paper money, opposition to tariffs, and op
position to the agitation of the slavery
question: The country, therefore, must
now be in the full and blissful enjoyment of
the priceless blessings Of hard money. free
trade, and calna rel'ose on tie sul5ect of
Siarery. The argument is conclusive
Democracy is opposed to paper money
and Democracy has always ruled; there
fore there is no currency but "plenty" of
gold. Democracy is opposed to tariffs.
and Democracy has always ruled; there
fore, there is no tariff, but universal free
trade. Democracy is opposed to the agi-
tation Of the slavery question, and Democ-.
racy has always ruled; therefore, there is
NJ agitation OH that subject There never
was any attempt to force slavery into free
Kansas, and nobody ever tried to keep it
out. Universal peace and quiet reigns.
Great, glorious. consistent Democracy.

number of votes ,oiM Ms ./e,oea possible

now contesting for the prize to be awarded
to the immas ulate discoverer of this great
invention. Oxford, in Kansas, did

ST. Louis claims to have outstripped her
young sister, by givinga majority of4 900,
in couple of nearly unoccupied wards in

That was sublimel aud would no doubt take
the prize but for one dcfect-it didn't win.
All the others waited until it WAS finally
known how many votes were needed, and
then supplied them 10 order. But Maine,
assuming that GOO WIS more than enough
TO secure the triumph of Democracy, did
not wait for definite instructions, and the
official count showed that although the
purpose and the will was all right, she erred
in her arithmetic, and Democracy failed of

the game--we rather think not, unless on

Evs0natOr bouglns said Il lals

EE-sonator Douglas said in late
speechi # 3
81 was not willing TO vote for the Eng
lish Bill. because it made distinction be-
tweena free and slave State, aud while
permitting Kansas to come into the Union
under the Lecompton Constitution with
80, 600 habiIants, refused to admit her if
the people were determined to have free
State, until she had acquired population
of 93.420. Myopinion then was, and now
IS. that whenever Kansas has population
enough for slave State she has popula.
ton sufficient for free State"
Martin indorses the English Bill, and
thus makes an offensive discrimination in
favor of slavery and against freedom. Kan
sas shall not come in as free State, with
less than 80, 9o.iihabilants. Democratic
doctrine, as held by Buchanan and all the
leaders is, $1,000. or any other number,
will do for Kansas as slave State, and 93,-
420 for free State. Douglas can't stand
that-Martin can. But Democracy is a

Itcm,e,ml,er 1I,e Issues.

/
As the election approaches we wish to
impress deeply upon the minds Of our
readers the true issues involved in thiscon-
test, and urge upon them the importance
not only of voting themselves. but of pro-
curing every vote they can hcnorabIy get
in support of the principles they believe
To be most conducive to the prosperity of
the county, and the promotion of the
happiness of the people.
1t is every mans duly TO vote, and in
order that he may discharge that duty
faithfully it is proper that he should in
form himself upon the questions which he
is to assist in deciding. We presume that
most men have their minds now made up
as to how they will vote at the coming
election. But we wish 10 present briefly
the issues of this canvass, and we ask
every man to think well upon them before
he votes. .
FREEDOM IN THE TERRITORIES
is the first and perhaps the most impor,
tant of these questions. Shall the terri
tories belonging to our government be free,
or shall slavery be established there, and
sustained by law2 rfq-..
1t has been the policy of the Democratic
party to establish and sustain slavery in
dU our Territories. This is shown by the
repeal ofthe Missouri Compromise, which
opened to slavery, every, foot of the terri
tory porth Of the line Of 36 deg, 30 min.
north latitude, where it never could have
existed but for this repeal. The Demo-
cratic party repealed that restriction a., p.
1t is'shown further by the Dred Scott de-
cision, which LEGALIZES slavery in all
our Territories. and PREVENTS the peo-
pie OF those territories from prohibiting it,
even should ninety mine out Of every
hundred be opposed TO it, ~'t.... ....
Il is shown, also, by the repeated and
long continued attempts of the Admins
tration to force upon the people of Kansas
pro-slavery constitution.
Another matter upon which every voter
must take position is .......
THE EXTRAVAGANCE oFTHEA AD-
MINISTRATION.
We have shown conclusiveIy during the
campaign that The appropriations for the
expenses Of the government during the
current year amount to over
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS,
or more than three dollars for every man
woman and child in the country This
is nearly twice as much as was ever before
demanded to carry on the government.
We want honest men Of all parties to |
consider these things well before they cast
their ballots. If they wish these evils
corrected there is n practical and easy way
Of doing it. The Democratic candidate
for Congress, in this District, stands with
the Administration OH all these questions
A vote for him will be a vote to sustain IT'S I
entire policy--a vote against him will be
a vote against that policy. There is no
middle ground. Think we'll before you
vote. t.. .#

States constitute tho body OF the party,
and are its controlling majority. They avow
their purposes, and every act Of the Ad-
ministration is in furtherance of those pur-
poses. On the other hand the dough-
faces, Of Ohio, and al the other Republican
States, with unblushing effrontery attempt
TO deceive the honest voters Of those
States by pretending to be in favor-of the
exactly opposite policy. Now the quesi
ton is, which party is to be betrayed? It
is as plain rs noon-day, that either the
whole fifteen slave States, with their ninety
united Democratic. Representatives in
Congress are to be met and overcome by
Mr.. Martin. and some twenty other North
ern Democrats, who may find their way
into that body or else Mr.. Martin and
his Northern associates will do as Cox
and Pendleton and all the other Demo
cratic members from Ohio did at the last
session. -betray their own constituents for
such reward rs may be necessary to their
purchase Either the Northern, or
Southern wing Of the party must be
cheated and betrayed. There is no other
result possible. Which will be the vic
Tim +? Can party ties so blind the under
Of honest men, as to lead them
through self-delusion to self.degradation ?
