4" 1t is proud and glorious spectacle,
in this age Of political demagoguery aud
and office-seeking chicanery, TO witness
great, living, vital principles so inspire a
whole people that when self interes. and
personal gain are considerations, they move
IN one grand, stern phalanx, and trample
them under foot, that those principles
long cherished and nobly defended, may
game fresh impetus from their actions
and awaken to more vigorous and heal
thy vitality beneath the quickning hand of
their stern and devoted sincerity in the
truth and justice of their faith Such a
spectacle was exhibited in Kansa. on Mon
day last. 1t was not the gathering togeth-
er OF people aroused by political dema-
gogues, engaged in a wild hunt after Office;
not the stirring of the masses to defeat
some measure which threatened their per-
sonal possessions; not the assembling of a
party. at its leaders mandate nor was it
the voice of a faction, blindly pursuing
some phantasm, with an end A great,
noble, majestic principle, touching the in
most springs Of mans better nature,
called forth the people to the polls, and
the full cat gushing Of generous hearts
gave the response in tones as still and
vast, and solemn as the mid light

startled world to gather new power and
intensity at each advance, until its
mighty voice blends with the music of eter-

wrongs, the villanies Of four long and
desperate years contracted and eliminated
in the Lecompton constitution, and a
skulking scrvility capped it with the Eng

however, only served to fan the shoulder
ing flame, which flashed up anon and anon,
until at last it blazed out in a bright
broad, shining light on the second of Aug
and now goes flaming over the whole
world. 1t was a triumph OF Truth over
Falsehood; of Right over Wrong; Of
Freedom over Slavery Of Sincerity over
Sycophaucy and Deceit. With scorn and
wrath the people have risen in cir might
and trampled the base spawn OF a corrupt
Congress under their feet. flung defiance
in the face of a perjured Executive, and
laid bare the corrupt heart Of an institu-
ton which seeks to conquer by fraud and
wrong.
There are many truths cnunciated, many
lessons taught, many morals contained in
this contest. 1t thunders forth the truth
that no oppression can ever conquer

flaming syllabes which are written on the
heart of man, like the handwriting on
Belshazzer's wall. For every outrage
