Ia We pay no attention usually 10 the
scurrilous and unscrupulous statements Of tlic
Enquirer, for it is its sole vocation to deal in
them. The paper and its conductor belong
to Jesse ID. Bright, and are maintained to
perform his service in This district. 1t isnot
the organ of the DeInocracy,-a majority of
whom repudiate it-but of the Brights, by
whose dictation it speahs, often i'm opposition
to nine-tenths of the members Of the Demo
cratic party. 1t supports the Leeompton
swindle by the same weak fallacies and the Oft
refuted mis-statements by which Bright
in his letter to the Philadelphia meeting
Pretends to justify his subscyvieDcy to Exec
utiye dictation. 1t endorses the glaring
mis-statement ofthc Office holders letter to
Judge NiblRek lin which they tell HMM
opposition to facts notorious TO every citizen
-that the Democracy Of this district approve
the course of the Administration in its at
tempted outrages upon the rights of the peo-
PIE of Kansas. 1t says:
We assert that there is as much harmony
among the democracy of Vanderbnrgh coun-
ty and the First district on the Kansas qucs-
before they have been discussed before the
people, and good deal more than shcrc was
on the Nebraska bill when it was fist aeitat-
Ell.
The harmony. if there be any. is in the
unanimous condemnation of the iniauity Of
the measure, that the Executiveand the null
lifOrs of the South are pursuing. The de-
claratiens Of judge Hovey in his letter to tho
Convention OF the 23rL of February, is the
best refuta,ion of SIC falsehoods of the En.
quirer, and the signers of the Nlblack let.
ter. lie, with truth, says:
No question lras ever been presented to tn,
electors OF this State, upon which there ha
ever been such unanimity. "Down with TN,
LecorIpton Constitution" is the lanyuac,
of ninety nine oct Of every hundred voter,
Nor is it strange that such should be the case
for it is well known to all who participated
in the memorable canvass of 1856, that on
democratic public speakers left tho
fixed impression upon the minds OF all VIII,
heard them, that the people of h ansas shout,
have the same right to make and ratify O
reject their Constitution, that our people ey.
ercised in regard to our amended Constitu
ton OF 1850.
The reckless hardihood and infamy Of tn,
statements in the letter to Judge Niblack i
realized only by those who know that many
if not all of the signers of that letter, ar

If they persist in outraging al sense of con

IN their new born zeal-for the swindle. thci
fellow citizens will send the proofs of tbei
dulictions and irsinccrity to Washington
and their new blown hopes may fade in
night. We refer them to the letter of Col
Forney from Washington, i'm which be 70

men to pay some respect to public opinion

measure so abhorrent to every democrat
