The ihn attempts to convict senator
BIglcr ol inconsistency In hi- coursc with
reference To lhc kansas policy of Mr. Bu.
chauon 10y publishing few detached and
dllointcd extracts from an article which
appeared m the 'loatlicld Republican of
the 2l,t July 1871, mtOlly connecting
the opinions held 10y Senator Bglcr hW0J
with hls estimate OF those hrld 10y % por-
ton of thc people oi kWss and 10y this
method making the senator To appear to
entertain sentiments oi yojun,c with Ibis

but It not honest; and th" Ia that thc
Press resorts to this mod" OF attack, shows
hoth the bitterness OF feeling which that

upon which tin Press l"'ios to convict Sc

ccplahIe TO that journal. The whole arti-
Gle Is not published, nor are the extracts
conunu"'s or connected. But take them
as they are, and what do they prove! -
Why, that Senator BigIcr never rcconi.
zed any other differences among the peo
pie OF Kansas than that growing out oi
the subject of slavery; and hence that all
ms declarations with reference to the de-
clslon ct the majority turned uNon~hat

evidence submitted by the Press. In the
