A WORD TO DEMOCRATS.

On the first page of our paper will be
foWnd the address of the Hon. Frederick
p. Stauton- Governor Walkers Secretary
of KansNs--tO the people of the United
States Mr.. StaRton has been a lla.long
Democrat, a Southern man with Southern
proclivites; aud for number of years q
Representative in Congress from TenneS-
SEQ. He Is therefore, not only competent
to speak inIelligently of Kansas affairs, but
he cannot be accused Of being either an
"AboIitonest," nor yet "Black Republi.
can." His history of events, in that Ter.
ritory, then, together, with tho complete
aud scsthing exposure of the aid and
comfort, that Mr.. Buchanan has lent to fraud
and violence there, must be taken as rela-
bic. and it should have great weight with
those of our Democratic fellow citizens,
who are desirous of learning tho exact
truth relative to the affairs in that distrac.
ted portion Of our country. We have not
asked, nor will wo ask Democrats to base
their convictions Of duty solely upon pub,
lie rumor; but we do ask them, and hold
that they are in duty hound to read with
close attention, and heed, what Gov Reeden
Gov Gesry, Governor Walker and Sec.
retary Stanton-al! Democrats of the high
est standipg--say upon this important
sui ject; and then decide whether Mr.. Blu,
chanan has not acted tseacherously toward
them, treacherously toward the people Of
the Northern States, aud whether he is
not acting basoly and iuhumanly toward
the people Of Kansas, in forcing upon item
4 the Lecompton Constitution, which they
have net only not made, but which they
Laye positively aud Enthusiastically repudi-
ated. .t,....

COLUMBUS, Feb. l8, 1888.

CoLUNUs, Feb. 18, 1858.
Morning Leader.-The Jail bill, 90 cal.
led, passed the Senate yesterday, after a
long and stormy session.
Next in turn comes the Habeas Corpus,
which will probably 60 through. A few
more such repeas. and Ohio, beyond a
peradventure, will be safe hereafter to law
and order.
The Interest question is still in the House
and excites a good deal of interest: the
friends and opponents seem to be nearly
equal.
The Jury bill failed in the Senate, at
which the House is not a little vexed,
1t is to be regretted that this subject is
uot thought of more by the taxpayers Of
the State than il seems to be. For near
ly forty years, in the history of our State,
party litigants paid the Jury; but now The
taxpayers of the County furnish juries for
litgants out OF their pockets, giving there.
by so much encouragement for men to 20
to law. Let the 0eaithy men in the Com
mon Pleas have to pay the jury they call
into Court, as the poor man has to, before
Magistrate, they would hesitate some
time before they would lItigate. But an-
other remedy to check that growing curse
and increasing evil, litigation, would be
to simply have the law require all parties
ic law to advance the costs Of officers as
they progress from time to time in their
cause, This would prevent all the mali.
cious, frivolous, vexations suits that add so
much to the disturbance Of the peace and
repose Of neighborhoods, and which en-
dangers SO much bitter feeling in the com
munity. Such a law would save to the
tax payers in Ohio, at least two hundred
thousand dollars, in one way and another,
in the course of year.
Ia connection with this the man who
called jury before a Justice, should not
have the right of appeal to Common Pleas,
but should abide the decision of the Jury
he had called.

GOV. WALKER.

Ex. Gov. Walker, of Kansas, being
unable to attend and address the Arti-
Lecompton meeting at Philadelphia, on
the Sth inst, sent the following letter which
was read:
As native of the glorious Keystone
State, as a graduate of her noble old Uni
versity at Philadelphia, where have been
spent SO many happy days of my youth
and manhood, | look to this great meeting
with the deepest interest. In your city
stands the Hall ofIndipendence, and there,
on the 4th of July, l776, was first pro-
mulgated tie great truth, that all free
government is based upon "the consent
of the governed" Let this truth be inscrib.
ed upon your banners and written on your
hearts. Let it DO proclaimed by you that
this great principle shall neither be eyadad
by technical quibbles, nor subverted by
frauds and lorgeries.
The real question is this: Is the Lo.
compton Constitution founded on the
sent of the people of Kansas? You know
it is not, therefore, any act of Congress
adopting this Constitution is not admitting
a State on request of her people, into the
Union, in accordance with the language oI
the Federal compact, but forcing a State
Iiuto the Union against her will. Such an
act would be a clear violation Of the Con.
stitution ofthe United States, of State and
popular sovereignty, of the Kansas.and,
! Nebraska bill, and of its fundamental pnn
ciples of free government.
May the noble Democracy Of PhiIadeE
phia unfurl TO thu breeze the banner oI
self government. and under its folds, ~
one Of the sons of Pennsylvania will marcl
with you in tue ranks to the rescue of oul
country.
Yours, truly, r. J, WALKER,
1t is curious fact, that Gov. Walker
from whose dispatches tho President quote
so extensively in bis special Message, i
deadly hostile to the Lecompton fraud.

mission Of Kansas into the Union under

back with indignant scon the hbellous
charge contained in the message OF the
President accompanying the LecomPton
Constitution to Congress,to the effect that
the freemenOf Kansas were lawless peo-
pie. an.g.
-ThSt relying upon the justice Of
our cause, we do hereby, on behalf Of the
