The lesser organs in the South, proclaim
that the Americans and Republicans were
allied for the purpose of defeating slavery
in Kansas. The Presidents organ says
It is lie--that it never was the intention
of the democratic party to make Kansas
a'slave State, and that the Americans and
Republicans united for the purpose Of
forcing slavery upon a people opposed to
the institution, and did force it upon them
by voting against admission, and that, but
for that vote, Kansas would now be free
State. Which is right2 Neither; both
lie. The Americans and Republicans did
not unite to defeat, or to establish slavery
in Kansas, but to defeat the villainous at
tempt of the democratic parry to force a
Constitution upon a people who had re-
pudiated it by majority of nearly ten to
one, and to uphold the doctrine of popular
sovereignty upon its true basis This is
the true state of the facts, as every man
knows it who is not stultifed by party
prejudice, or fool by nature.
But the game is transparent. The Union
would draw off the people of the North,
from Douglass, by telling them that the
democratic party does not favor the South,
and cndeavored, from the beginning, to
make Kansas free and that they had dis
regarded the doctrine of popular sovereign
ty, in that particular case, because to have
adhered to it would have made Kansas a
slave State On the other hand, the
southern organs would bring odium upon
the American party by charging upon il
an alliance with Black Republicans to
prevent the extension of slavery. To play
out this game, the truth is to be withheld
from the people who are not to be trusted
with an element so dangerous to demo.
cratic ascendency, and all sorts of lies are
to be propagated. This is the beginning
of the same game that has been played
for the last twenty years-the opposition
in the South, denounced as anti-slavery
and the opposition, in the North, as pro
slavery. And the same people that have
been cheated so often, seem ready to b.
cheated again by the same trick, and that
too, in the face of the declaration of the
!, democratic leaders, that the English bill
settled the slavery question and that it il
now a defunct issue. To confirm the trutl
of this view of the subject, it is only
necessary to look at the absurd position
of the Union. 1t says that the way t
make Kansas slave State, was to rejec
its pro-slavery constitution, and the wa!
to make it free, was to admit it with pro
slavery constitution. Such nonsense wa
never uttered by a sane man, unless HI
had some rascally scheme to advance b,
its means.

approach to the town from the North of
the county. The railroad was lifted from
asuperior location in the northern division,
and placed upon an inferior one in the
southern and one of the arguments in
favor Of the change, was that the road
would benefit Providence as much as
GAINESVILLE. IF there is any force in that
argument, it is now the true policy of the
city to offer every facility for and induce
ment to, the transmission Of produce
through Providence to the depot But
instead of this, the policy seems to cut
off the trade in that direction, by impas-
sible streets, and instead of bringing
Providence and its trade to Clarksville, to
move the latter further from the former
That the extension of Second Cross to the
bridge will be one step in the right direc-
ton, we will not deny, but that step is no
fair compensation to that section for the
tax it has paid to improve other portions
to say nothing of the tax it will have to
pay for the immense advantage given by
thai ordinance to the southern division.
But why work up into one batch, SC
many streets? Let the city authorities
if sectional feeling demand it, select an
important street in each division, and i'm.
prove each in substantial and iudicious
manner, and when that is done, the
Developments which they may make o.
the wants of commerce and population
will aid in making subsequent selection
of the streets next in Importance, and Sc
to the end. But should the ordinance b
adopted it will be years before those streets
will be improved unless blind polio,
anticipate the necessity for their construc
ton, and unnecessarily increase the burden
of taxes without an equivalent; and tn
fact that they can not be built for years
will make them bone of contention witt
future Boards as to which shall be bull
first. And the injustice, of which tb
northern division may so justly complain
may still, for years, be practiced toward

B0~ Nothing seems to give southern
LocofOcos higher pleasure than to denounce
northern Americans as deeply tainted
with abolitionism; and already is it pro-
claimed, in some quarters, that the Ameri-
cans of New York have fused with the
Black Republicans on an anti-slavery
platform. An attempt was made to fuse,
and the two parties found no difficulty in
agreeing, except upon the slavery question:
but the republican convention insisted
upon the following resolution as a basis of
union:
Resolpcd, That the dicta propounded by
the Supreme Court of the Republic in the
bred Scot decision, making every square
mile of the Federal Territory prima tacie
slave territory, by increasing the facility
with which such extension may be effected,
decpens the obligation resting upon US to
resist the extension of slavery and dos-
pite such dicta of the Supreme Court, we
affirm the power and duty of Congress to
exclude slavery from the territories of the
United States.
This resolution was rejected by the
American Convention without hesitation,
and the following was adopted as the
American doctrine
Resolred That we are opposed to the
existence and extension Of slavery into
the territories of the United States, never
theless that we recognize the right Of the
native born and naturaized citizens Of the
United States, permanently residing in
any territory thereof to frame their con
stitution and laws, and to regulate their
domestic and social affairs in their own
mode, subject only to the provisions OF
the Federal Constitution.
The South will see in this that the de-
yotion of the northern Americans to prin-
ciple overrides their love of plumber, and
not even to crush locofocoism-the mon
ster curse of the country-will they deny
to the South the full measure of her con
stitutional rights. Upon this point the
two conventions split and each party
made its separate nominations.
