The grand procession contested Of two

inscribed "Buck and Brock" Some
Rip Van Wrinkles, who had fallen
asleep 10 the Fall Of 1855 and just
walked up, were solemnly impressed
with the importance Of electing Bu.
chanan to the Presidency this Fall,
80 as to secure "freedom to Kansas"
80 that the people Of Kansas might
''have the right to regulate their own
institutions in their own way" 1t
seems they had not heard that Buck
was elected, and that he had used
his whole influence to force on the
people of Kansas the miserable pro-
slavery Constitution, without giving
them any chance to vote upon it,
They had not heard that Of some
one hundred and sixty five Demo
ocratic members OF Congress, over
one hundred and iorty voted for the
Lecompton bill; and that when the

that bill that made q discrimination

this bribe, that would keep Kansas
out ofthe Union, simply because she
would not accept the Lecompton
Constitution.
But in regard to this characteristic
demonstration. When all this vast
asseInblage was called together
there was far short of the number
that attended at the Court House, the
other evening, to hear Governor
Chase; and deductiDg the number o.
Republicans i, attendance from
town and country, and there would
not have been one hundred and fifty
persons left. And the whole affair
was spiritless-liieless. When they
attempted any display of animation
the ghost of popular sovereignty, the
victim of Buchanan's ambition ant
tyranny, rose up before them, and
they we're dumbf)unded. This
grand display was a grand feilure

Speech Of Durbin Ward.

The speech of Mr.. Ward, on Mon.
day, in the main, so far as his de-
pertinent is concerned, was gentle.
manly, with the exception Of a very
mean thrust at Mr.. Ashley. lie
complained Of Governor Chase s
coming into the district to meddle
with what related to local politics.
while he condescended TO use the
meanest OF all appliances, to strike
down the Republican candidate for
Congress, by giving currency to mis-
cradle iabrications that "smelled to
heaven" OF the gutter and the cess
pool. He introduced himself by de-
dying he was a Know Nothing, yet
left unexplained why he voted a
ticket, in 1862, headed American
Republican Ticket" American
tue term adopted subsequently to
distinguish the Know Nothing or
der as a political party, being used
as the leading term to designate his
political creed, He was really what
was called Native American Whig,
and whether he was ever really
inducted into the order or not, actu-
ally co-operated with the party in
Cincinnati, as we are informed by
one who resided in that city and
knew the facts of the case. Hu next
went on to show, or rather assert,
that the Republicans favored fed
eral ideas; and therefore aimed to
strengthen the federal government al
the expense of the state government,

second charge evidently knocked the
frat in the head. In speaking O

Mr.. William Mungen's Record - His
Efforts to Protect Bresiin from Ex-
1 posure.
The article copied from the X aida
Esntnre of February, 1858, will, no
doubt, be read with astonishment.-
There is the proof by a witness GER
tainly who was interested in con.
cealing the facts charged in that ar.
ticle, that Mr. Mungen did actually,
while in the Senate, do everything
he could to screen John G. Breslin,
and at a time, too, when it was con-
fessed that he was engaged in rob-
bing the treasury. He opposed a
law having for its object the protect
ion of the treasury against such out.

not such men as Mr.. Mungen
thrown the mantle of their protection
over him in 1858, his rascality would
have been brought to light, and the
state would have been saved thou.

terwards pilfered from the treasury
On the other hand, however, this
same b reslin was re nominated lol
the same office nearly a year after
this expose in the Venture and was
elected for another term to prosecute
his work of villainy, and again in
1855 was nominated for third term
by this same party, that were aware
of his rascality even during his first
term, and Mr.. Mungen, it will be
seen, was his right hand man, read y
to repel the charges that tended "a

james II. Steadman,

The speech OF this individual on
Monday last, certainly went far ia
confirm the opinion entertained oi
him here by all parties, as being the
most corrupt politicisn-the great
est political knave in all Christen-
dom. 1t has never been our lot to
liston to a more bitter personal IT,
rade--to lower or more vulgar slang
or to witness an exhibition ofas con
summate blackguardism as this low
villifier perpetrated on that occasion
In his personal attack on Mr.. Ash .
ley, he dragged into the political
arena his (Aahley's) wife. and moth
er, and mother.in-law; and banded
them about with as little regard as
he would a foot-ball; and in his Mt
terance Of the meanest and lowest
gossip about Ashley-such fabrica
tion as had their origin in those low
haunts with which be is no doubI
too familiar; in his utterance, We
say, Of these libelous charges, his
foul tongue went Gathering with the
glibness OF that of one of the druker
bawdies who in their street fights:a,
Five Points, in New York, arc wont
'to make night hideous." No one
we repeat, could find language tina,
wonld embody as much coarse abuse
except one OF those miserable crea.
lures who have 40 far abandoned al
claims TO human sympathy-have SC
completely unsexed themselves as te
bo shunned by men and repudiatec
by devils.
Had any one got up in the Cour
House, md uttered such language ir
regard to MIR. Mungen, and connect
ed his wife and other female relative,
with it, this same Mungen woulc
have met him at the door and knock
ed him down, II he had been able
Who says he would not have don,

this fellow employed to go with hin
from station to station, to perform
this same cowardly service. Yes
Mr.. Mungen sat there on Monday
and not only listened to this defame
in the uttsrance Of the bAsest Sian
ders against Mr.. Ashley, but seem
ingly enjoyed it. He dare not un
dertake such detraotion himself, an.
yet hopes to escape the scorn an,
contempt Of this community by en-
trusting to . hireliug ,his dirty work

Eow, Il is well known that this Il
not the doctrine OF the Democratic
patty. nor Of Presiden, Buchanan, il
lSader. The ground now maintain
I'D BY the party is, that the terrific
ries are the common property Of 81
the states, and being such, that tb'
Constitution guarantees to the slave
holder the right to take the slaves
into the territories and hold them
and that as Congress has no rigb
to prohibit slavery in the territories
Il cannot confer that right on the
territorial Legislature, which is bu
an agent Of tho general government
and further that the right OF boldinI
slaves In the territories, being guar
antecd by the Constitution Congress
is bound to enact o slave code fo
it's protection. The position as
sumed by Mr.. Mungen and tb.
other speakers, on that occasion, wal
that Of Mr.. Douglas. who has tim,
and again been read out Of the par
ty by the administration organs.
Mr.. Mungen assumed to stand up
on the Democratic platform, ant
adopt the creed Of the party, yet q
the.ssme time declared that If elect
cd he would vote for the admission
Of Kansas, no matter what the pop.
ulation. Ailer travelling all owe,
the district and feeling the public
pulse, he hss at length IN opinion
on the snbiect. No ono could as
ascertain before where he stood a,
to this provision of the English
bill. He says he wrote to tie

lining his position. but this round

rs it hapens, before the English bill
was even thought of, and Mr. Nun.
gen took very COOL care to disguise
himself under ficticious character
Thus was he bold and frank in the
declaration Of his sentiments, as he
affected 10 make the audience be.
lieve he had always been. lie is
evidently one of your trimmers OF
dodgers, and watches tho direction
of the popular current. But how
much confidence can be- placed
