Official Appeal " to Every True Demo-
crat, North and South-In and out Of
Congress-In the United States"

The Government is now in the hands of the
Democrats. Its President, its Cabinet, its
Congress are Democratic, and have been made
so by the voice and vote of the indirMual
Democrats hrOughOut The nation A common
responsibility, therefore, rests on all Democrats
as well in office as out of Office, to queU these
re6ehtOnS, and to restore law and order to both
Kansas and Utah. There is no escape from
this responsibility on the part of the Democrats
whether they are in public or private life.
The President placed in power by The Demo
cratic party says to Congress, quell the rebell-
ion in Utah by sending there powerful and
efficient army to subdue BRIGHAM You've and
his leading coadjutors, and bring them to a
just and legal punishment. AS to Kansas he
says that after having gone through many
tribulations and trials while in the midst of re-
bellion, and all the impediments which LANE
and ROBINSON, the secret aid societies, and the
Black Repu blicans everywhere, have created,
she at last stands at the door of Congress with
Constitution admitted on all hands to be
emnently publican"-formed by legal con-
ventlon admitted by Walker, and STAN
ton, aud Douglas, and almost everybody else,
(but Jim Lane to have been legal Conven-
tlon--a Constitution voted for, as it relates to
The only disputed subject embraced in it. bv
every bona tide inhabtant who had mind or
wish to vote-a Constitution which can be
moulded and shaped after admission INTO the
Union just as the people from time to time
may determine. K1Rsas standing at the door
of Congress Tih such a Coustaution as this
the President advises, should be admitted INFO
UnaOn on terms Of equality wih the other States
ofthe Uniom.
Mr.. BUCHANAN is a Democrat Inc was prt
at the head of the nation and the party byDem-
ocrats. AS President of the United States, he
has been braved in Utah and Kansas bv James
Lane and Brigham Young. He has met their
treason with great forbearance and kindness
but the time has come now when, in the dis
charge of his imperative duty, he is obliged TO
TO appeal against them TO Congress and The co,sn-
try. What Democrat that represented, or
was present at Cincinatti when he was nomi
mated what Democrat in all this broad land
that voted for him in his election, can now
draw off from him and go over and stand by
the side of Lane ? Yet, to vote against Mr.,
Buchanan's recommendation to let Kansas in
to the Union--is it not to join and vote with
Lane and his associates, whose perpetual cry
is " Vote against her ~ 'hsep her out %" Keep
her out p'
There is no unsoundness in this argument.
The Democrats are right on this issue, or the
Republicans arc right James Buchanan is
right, or James Lane is right And no good
Demoerat will catch at nice and unnecessary
distinctions in order to enrol himself, in or out
OF Congress, on the side of Lane, the traitor
and rebel. There is not 1--WE beleve) one Dem.
ocratic district north or south, in this Union
when history shall duly record the great facts
in this case that will support, by Democratic
sanction, the exclusion OF Kansas on the Le-
compton Constitution.
What would be the fate Of any Democrat,
