We are Satisfied, Too.

The Leavenworth Herald, PRO
Slavery,) speaking Of the result Of
the late election, says:
"The issue will henceforth be Re.
publicanism or Democracy. 1t is a
contest Of great principles which has
agitated the Union Tor half a century.
We know which side has been vlndi-
Gated by the popular expression, and
we are satisfied that the people Of
Kanzas will in time espouse the
cauSs whi Oh aims at a perpetuity OF
the Union, its blessings, and its
glorles."
The Herald speaks our sentiments,
exactly. We also know which side
" has been vindicated by popular
EXPRESSION" but possibly it may be
a different party from the one the
Herald has in view. The Republican
party was vindicated by the popu-
lar expression" Of the intelligent,
conservative and Union-preServing
masses Of the Republic, at tho last
Presidential campaign, while the
Democratic party was "vindicated"
by the fre.eating disunionists Of the
South, the Garrisonian AbolitioniSts
OF the North, the servile population
Of the lavc-holding States, and the
ignorant rabble and unscrupulous
demagogues of the North. There
was no popular expression " about
your side, MIR. Herald. Upwards OF
one-halt Of your votes were secured
either through ignorance or compul.
sion. The party which has been vim.
dicated by the popular expression oil
the country waI be espoused by the
people Of Kanzas, In speaking Of
this party, we cheerfully avail our
self of your words-"It aims at a
perpetuity of the Union, its blessings.
and its glories." While the Democrat
ic party is engaged encouraging Sec
tionaliSm and promoting discord be-
tween the North and South and aid
ing the cause of the disunionists, the
Republican party is laboring to allay
our local quarrels, and to bring our
government to its original condition.
" Freedom National, Slavery sec
tional." is their battle cry, and not
until the merits Of that motto has
again been practically demonstrated
and carried into elect, will the de-
sires of the diSunionists Of the count
ry be- thwarted. One thing Is certain,
and the South know it by this time,
that Freedom never VW yield another
inch TO slavery'S bullying and raven
GUS demand, and if it desires new
Territory for the extension OF their
peculiar institution, " it will have
to resort to some other process than
clinging to the Union and depending
on the Democratic party. True, the
Democratic party work flithIU " to
subServe the interest of their constit-
uents, and is entitled to much praise
for their fidelity from the South still
FREEDOM that sacred name, for
which our fathers bedewed the soil Of
this beloved country from the wildS
of Msine to the waters OF the Mexican
gulf from the coasts of the Atlantic
to the great Father Of waters " in
the west, and which hasgrown potent
in strength as its noble principles
have been matured, sternly proclaimS
"thus far thou shalt 60, and no far
ther." a.
The sovereignty Of the states the
Republican party strongly sustain,
but the idea Of hosting institutions
congeniaI to the tastes and wants OF
our portion of the Union over the 9TH
or portion, to the great displeasure ol
its people, is not tolerated by them
and never will their work be done un-
til people are taught to let " well
enough alone" ..1. uI#
