The Republican Party aud Le-
compton.

1t is not to be denied that the Re-
publican party have been, and are,
the main body of the opponents of
the Lecompton fraud. They have
from the first fought this measure with
a boldness and a persistency which
deserves the thanks of the country
They are the only party which takes
ground openly against the extension
of Slavery into the free Territory
1t is true that they have permitted
Mr.. Douglas and his friends to lead
off in opposition to the Presidents 5
policy, but any one who has watched
the course of events must have seen
that the Republican phalanX were all
the while united to crush the iniquity.
When Mr.. Giddings moved in the
House to reject the Lecompton bill
as it came from the Senate, every Re-
publican, and three anti-Lecompton
Democrats, voted with him.
One thing is certain. The Rcpub'
lican party is against the extension o
slavery into free Territory! 1t occr-
pies the position of Jefferson and th'
men Of earlier days Of the Republic
who aimed to make this land the glo
ry Of the earth, by establishing Free
dom on basis not to be shaken! |
is true their expectations have no
thus far been fulfilled. Corrupt pol
iticians have been elevated to posi-
tions Of honor and trust, and they
have used the power conferred upol
them to extend and pcrpetuate tn,
curse of bondage but the Republican
party has no sympathy with them o
their aiders and abettors. The Re
publican party will march forward il
the path it has chosen, and we doub
not success will crown its efforts t,
establish freedom and stay the marcl
of despotiSm.- Ohio State Journal

A Free Press.

Stranger Creek.

What is the reason this creek, and
others on the Lawrence and Leaven-
worth road, have never been bridged?
Cannot permission be obtained in
some manner from the Delaware In
dians to do this? There are some
seasons in the year when communi
cationis completely cut off from Leav-
enworth, owing to these creeks, and
the annoyance and damage occasioned
by it to people having goods conveyed
over that road, has already amounted
to enough to build dozen bridges,
Why don't some person who is di'
rectly interested in this road, move
in the matter ?

What are the French up TOf

II appears that the French are making eX-
tensive warlike preparations, and, as there Is
apparently no occasion for them, some OF the
English journals apprehend that an invasion
of England is secretly contemplated. This
appr ehension has found -oice through the
London Times, in an article which we print
in another column; and which created a
sensation at the London Stock Exchange.
The matter was brought to the notice of the
House of Commons on the llth inst, by Sir
CHARLES NAPIER, who contended, in brlei
speech, "that ill the present state OF the army
and navy in France, an attack upon England
might be made with great chance of sue
cess The government he said, fought to
demand supplies from the country for the
purpose of putting the national defences In
more complete state" He concluded by re-
commencing that "the disbanded militia be
at once reembodiedn The Chancellor of the
Exchequer, in response to the admiral stated
that the government was ION terms not only
of friendship but of constant and confidential
communication with France" and 1t did not
apprehend disturbance of friendly relations
with that or any other government. After
some remarks by Mr.. BENTINcK, Mr.. BRIGHT
and others, the subject was dropped. If the
Chancellor of the Exchequer was correct, and
we presume his statement is not to be doubt
ed, what can be the object of the French war
like preparations? What is the nephew OF
my uncle" up to? And what could have
been the design of the thunderer of the Times
in launching bolt SO terrible in its nature,
and so shocking to the nerves of Admiral
NAPIER.

LECTURES oF LOLA MoNrEz, Countess of
Landsfeldt-) Including her Autobiography.
New York: Rudd 4 CHARLTON. 1858.
We have just received a copy of the above
work from the Publishers. LOLA has occupied
a conspicuous position before the public mind
of this country for the past six years. She
insists that great many very pernicious
ISLANDERS have been circulated against her fair
name, and she takes this method of answering
them. In respect to her intellect, there can
be no doubt but that it is Of high order.
Her lectures are bold and original. and at
tracted much attention during the period of
their delivery-with various comments, pri-
vate and public. They were copiously copied
into the press OF New York-which is per-
haps not saying great deal to their credit
but still they have dash of independence,
which is not S.ten found in poor, lone wo-
man.. LOLA was, also, in Europe, once n
politician of nc mean power-a sort of draw
ing-room JOSH d. Arc among the crowned
heads and ministers of Bavaria and Germany
Altogether the work is the offspring Of
most remarkable woman. and will have
most extensive reading.
