When Pierce. took the Presidential

fused the appointment out of pure spite.
When Buchanan came into power, he
bestowed upon Sam the Governorship Of
Minnesota. In that position, he succeeded
so well in perpctrating election frauds,
and carrying everything in favor Of the
Democrats, that Buchanan was supreme

no doubt looks to Sam to come the Min

her in as Democratic Slave State, which
we may look for him to attempt. But he
will find different stripe of people here,
from those Of Minnesota and if he sue
ceeds in chiselling them, he viii have ac-
complished what no other man has been
able to do. He may disappoint the ex-
pectations Of the people, and conduct
himself in a creditable manner, but that
can hardly be expected. Oxford, KickA-
poo and Delaware Crossing frauds will
receive no rebuks nor investigation from
him. Such frauds will be his delight,
and his chief aim will be to obey the be-
hests of his masters, at Washington. If
he acts differently, he will widely depart
from all his former antecedents.
Such is the new Governor of Kansas.
During his whole political life. he has
never consulted the interests Of the people,
but his only idea was Democracy. Moth
ing has been too monstrous for his conn
tenance and support, if it was a Demo
cratic scheme. Whatever the Democratic
leaders dictated, that he. supported and
lied for, without asking question. From
such man, what good can honest people
in Kansas expect at his hands As
he has heretofore been, so we may expect
him to continue during the remainder Of
his life-a dirty tool of the Democratic
party.
