The CIimax of Impudence.


Of impotence, but we gave them credit
for an amount far short Of what they are
masters Of. The latest phase of this i'm
pudence is now being exhibited by sun
dry Of their papers; and, since their late
overwhelming discontinue, the disease
is assuming malignant type.
The Iowa Point Enquirer seems to Be
one Of the principal dispensers Of this
new styfe Of impotence, and he has ex-
hibited it in his last two issues. Since
Democracy, under the name of Pro- Sla.
very, has been secuted at, spit upon. and
trampled under foot, its organs now come
down whiningly, and ask share of pub
lie favor. They admit that they are used
up, but beg to be treated as brave and
honorable, but conquered foes While
they were numbering men for entertaining
Free State sentiments hunting them
down and driving them from the Terri
tory beating them back from the polls,
and stuffing the ballot-boxes with thou
sands of fraudulent and fictitious votes
when they were doing all this, and much
more Of the same nature, were they thin
king about brave and honorable foes p
mol And had they the power, they
would still be carrying on this outlawry,
extending neither favor nor mercy to their
oppressed opponents-the thought Of
whining ont for treatment as honorable
foes, never entered their heads until they
found themselves badly whipped, and
their rascally proceedings stopped.
The hobby which the Ehqairer has been
riding for several weeks. is proposal for
all Conservative meu-Pro- Slavery, De-
mociatic, Wing, American and Free
State, to unite and crush out what it
terms Black Republicanism. We did not
at first know what definition to apply to
the term but upon an examination of
files of the Doniphan Constitutionalist,
edited and published by the Iexicogra-
pher, Thomas j. Key, we find that a
Black Republican is one who is in favor
Of Free State. or who expresses or en-
tertains the slightest sympathy with any
such person. By examining the above
authority, we also find that other de6ni-
tons apply to that kind of persons-such
as low-hung, black hearted, white-livered,
thieving, robbing, sneaking, cowardly
Abolitionists, and so forth. With this
knowledge of the meaning which the
above photographer attaches to tie term
Black Republican, we are enabled rightly
to appreciate the disinterestedness, the
modesty, and the honesty Of his intentions,
in calling upon the Conservative men to
unite in crushing the Black Republicans
We have always received credit fol

think we have been. We speak hnt for

any one has supposed that we desired to
