serve these blessings, and hand them unim-
paired 10 those who come after you. Ench
party before you, claims that il is fulfilling
this high trust and each accuses the other
Of betraying il, they have introduced their
proofs. OF the weight Of evidence you are
to decide. If you err, the consequences Of
the error will fall upon yourselves; there is
no appeal from your decision.
You will consider everything with the ut
most care, discarding all mere prctcnscs, and
empty phrases, look for the truth.
You will remember that the great and
primary object of the American Revolution,
tho Constitution and the Union, is tosecurc
the blessings Of liberty, not tho curse Of sla-
very, to ensure tho blessings Of liberty, do
mestic tranquility to establish justice and
promote the general, not the partial welfare
ofthe people. Ifyou find either Of the parties
before you guilty Of acts, or entertaining
principles, which tend to the subyersion of
those great principles or purposes, you will
be safe in pronouncing that party guilty rs
charged. II you find either party opposing
moral order and decorum, or patronizing Ii
centiousness, and immortality, you may bo
sure that no penalty is too great a punish
ment for such, for national prosperity and
happiness, nay liberty itself cannot abide
nnlcss as our own Washington has said It's
based on sound morality and religion; and
whoever, whether party or individual, for
sakcs the great and pervading obligations
of morality and religion, betrays his trust
as an American citizen, and is a traitor to
tho institutions of our common country.
If you find either party guilty of d0cep-
ton and falschood, or reckless in its use Of
the public treasure, you may bo surc that
such are the real enemies of tho people, no
matter what their professions may be.
Genllemcn, You arc the people, into your
hands is committed the welfare and glory of
this mighty country. You may add luster
to its glory, or you may ruin it; all depends
upon your action.
Let every one then feel the full weight Of
of his duty and rising above every selfish
consideration mako an effort corresponding
to the magnitude of the occasion, to do his
: duty. You will render your verdict on the
second Tuesday of October next.

SHIFTING THE REsPoNsrDnITY.-Thc
Times tries to shift tho responsibility Of
couutcrfeiting from Senator Douglas to
"some newspaper he held in his hand"
Douglas said "these resolutions ono and
all constitute tho platform Of the Black Re-
publican party at this day" Did ho get
that from some newspaper
He said that "the Black Republican par
ty stand pledged that they never will sup
port Lincoln until he has pledged himself
to that platform"
Did that newspaper induce him to say
that alsol
He said that these resolutions "were the
fundamental principles of tho Republican
party" He obtained tho information from
news papers undoubtedly.

Tho cohesive power of public plundor, is
every day becoming deeper and widor, and
every day increasing in intensity its sway
over the political action of tho so-called
democratic party. 1t overridcs now, all tho
other clements in the politics and policy Of
the nation. Conscience, manhood, truth,
are manipulated by it into the sloep of death.
At its frown, reason, justice and patriotism
crouch and worship lie.
There is sickening proof of the above
in the conduct Of certain persons hercabouts,
in the denomination of L. w. Hail. Who
would suppose that such men as --,

como mere mortar for such men as Buchan-
an, Hall and Botcfur, two mention the great

And what is tho fruit Of this great pow
or, directed and controlled by James Bu-
chanan.. Truth crushed, democracy scorned
by all good men; people abused and
cheated, poison shaft in the breast of lib
erty, slavery extended, polygamy winked
at, and peoples treasury plundored.
These are some Of the fruits of power.
Will not the people rise up, and each man
asserting the dignity of his own heartfelt
convictions, rebukc and destroy it?
If not do they deserve the blessings Of

We are only anxious that plain, palpa-

publicans and Democrats Of Ohio, and, so
far, we sec no reason to doubt that this will
be accomplished. That issue is whether
Kansas may como in as Free State with

Kansas has right to come in whenever
