Shame, Messrs. Murdock and Steven

TOhim we are under many obligations
We understand this sending of docu.

that Republicans dispense such favorS

In fact, the man who will neglect his

enemies, js ungrateful as a thankless

Reading folks out OF the Party.

We find the following sensible re-
marks in the Washington correspon'
dence of the Cincinnati Enquirer:
While the Democratic party is just
as strenuous as ever in their advocacy
OF the Lecompton Constitution, and
equally firm in their repudiation Of
the Topeka matters, yet it is CRAFTY
ing to witness the many manifesto
tions of good fellowship and cordial
feeling existing between the Lecomp-
ton and Anti Lecompton Democrats.
a very great error has prevailed in
the public mind, that those Democrats
representing the Anti -Lecompton por-
ton ofthe party were committed tothe
rebellious and revolutionary schemes
of the Topekaites in Kansas. Nothing
is further from the truth. lhave rea-
son to know that they as strongly con-
denim tho Topeka movement as the
Administration itself.
We have heard much of reading out
of the Democratic party those Demo
Gratis whose views do not concur with
those Ufthe Administration. 1t is an
absnrdity, totally at variance with the
wishes or purposes Of their Lecomp-
ton friends. Mr.. Allen, of Rhode Is,
land, in the Senate Of the United
States, in response to an intimatiOn
from Judge Douglas, as presiding off
Ger of the Democratic caucus, denied
that Mr. Douglas had been read ouI
OF the party. llow suicidal and pre-
posterous the idea because of a differ,
ence Of opinion among Democrats on
a question ofpolicy, that such long,
tried, able, consistent and prominent
Democrats as Douglas, Stuart, Mar.
shall, Harris, Cox, Davis Of Indiana
English, Smith oflllinois, Groesbeck
Hall Of Ohio, and a host Of others
should be considered an having taken
positions antagonistic to the principles
of the party with which they have al
ways been strongly identified.
No Democrats, from any locality
who has had opportunity to test the
faith and consistency of such men, can
for q moment subscribe to such sui
cidal proposition.

As we anticipated, there is now
heard a general howl of the Black Re-
publican press about Kansas being in
Il fair way for admission as a slave
State. 1t will be recollected that these
howlers about Kansas declared in their
Philadelphia Platform that Congress
had SOrsyeign pO,Cer over the terrific
ries for their government, thus deny
ing to the people Of Kansas and other
territories the right to govern them.
selves. According to this Black Re-
publican doctrine, Congress might
pass all laws for Kansas, henceforth
and forever, without in the least con.
sulting the wishes Of the governed
The people there might have framed
O Constitution to suit themselves and
approved it by unanimous vote, and
still Congress, being supreme as the
King upon his throne, might have re.
jected 1t, and thus perpctuated indef-
nitely its sovereign power" 1t was
against this hateful doctrine that the
democracy OF the Union contended,
and triumphed. The opposition hav.
ing approved such a principle, it is
perfectly consistent for them TO oppose
the admission of Kansas unless the
people Of that territory present Con.
stitution which shall exactly accord
with their opinions and prejudices.-
With the democracy the question is
not as to what the Constitution OF
Kansas may contain, provided there is
nothing in it violating the Constitu.
lion Of the United States. All demo.
Gratis agree as to that. The only ques.
tion at issue with our party is, does
the Constitution presented by Kansas
embody the will Of a majority Of the
people of that territory. If it does,
then all agree that Kansas ought to be
admitted at once. 1t is competent,
therefore, for Congress to inquire into
this question, and being satisfied that
the instrument presented is not the
will ofthe majority, Or that there has
been fraud in its formation, to reject
the application.
The President contends that the lie.
compton Constitution is regular and
Republican in its form, and that it is
the will of the people as expressed
through their delegates therefore
Kansas should be forthwith admitted
under that Instrument. On the other
hand, Senator Douglas, and others,
claim that the Lecompton instrument
was not regular, but that the irregular,
ity may be cured it appear that said
instrument embodied the will of the
people. The Lccompton Convention
being irregular, as Senator D. claims,
the only mode to cure the defect is BY
q direct vote Of the people for and
against the Lecompton Constitution.
1t will be perceived that both Sena-
tor Douglas and the President contend
for the will OF the people. There is
between them no difference as to prin-
ciple-nothing that need work divi.
sion in the democratic ranks, as both
claim to be carrying out democratic
doctrine. This being the case, we
cannot sec the necessity for the present
agitation among democrats. In our
opinion it is wholly uncalled for, and
ifipersisted in, must lead to the com.
plete triumph of our opponents in the
north and west.

General Whitfield, in a letter re-
ceived to-day, says Lanes patty has
served upon him notice to quit the
Territory, threatening, unless he do

family out Of Kansas, but is resolved
to remain. He says that house. burn

county opposite St. Joseph, Mo. A
family had been driven out and sev-
eral persons killed; also one in the

Senate to pass bill admitting both
Kansas and Minnesota into the Union
together. Senator Green, the Chair

given notice to this effect. 1t will
pass the Senate by a majority Of six
or eight, and the House by twelve Or
fifteen. So says dispatch. .

MONEY IN New YoRK.-The New

The tables have turned; the lender
is now subjected to almost as great in
convenience as the borrower was a
few months since. Thegreatest plen-

cult to put out any considerable guam
tity at 495 per cent. FiIst.class

than now, and rates during the week
have leaned very strongly in favor Of

cent, the same party who bought du-
