true principles, dared argue, remonstratC
and then appeal to Heaven. General Jack
son cnuncated this rule, as the guide of his
Administration, ITO ask for nothing that Is
not clearly right, and submit to nothing
that is wrong. This is "a safe rule of action
for communities and for individuals. The
idea that straightforward men, who have

of the country, can not have any influence
with that section on subjects on which thsra
can rightfully be NJ prejudice, is preposter-
Gus. Mr.. Brldbnry mis-stat,l the position
Of the Republican party on the slavery qucs-
ton. by saving that it aimed to overthrow
slavery in the States, and to dictate terms t.
the Southern people. He knew he was mis-
representing his opponents, just rs well as
he knew that he did not truly state his own
views. If Mr.. Bradbury stated his own po-
sition correctly on the question of the extern
sion Of slavery, why did he not say -, or
his party friends for him, in the Columbia
resolutions? lie thought it was best, Will
not denying that Mr.. Foster would vote
rieht to have some Democratic representa-
tivcs, as well rs Republican. We do not
blame Mr.. Bradbury Tor wanting to ct int,
Congress, but it is for trying to get there
while supporting Buchanan. by advocating
anti-Blehanan measures. And all tire peo-
pie of the 9TH District wish t. say about
having democrats in Congress, il. that other
states may send them, as they d.. t, mi>-raI-

Northern interests: for them. they lad rath-

Mr., Bradbury said Mr. Fossenlcn was a
gentleman. and he wished he could say as
much f,r his colleague. This fling At Mr..

probably. by bis having been Challenged by
the Republicans the same day to meet Kim
in discussion, and his having refused it.
He said he should % II Washington as a
peace man. meaning a kind of umpire be-

in Kansas. 50 frauds had been committed in
New York, Baltimore and San Francisco. -
Everybody grants that his PARTY has rrac-

in these cities. lie might have instanced
the recent case in St. Louis. Bat no ma
tional administration has ever sanctioned
these proceedings, and used all means in its
power to stle invests cations into them, as
the last and present administration have; or
we may say, used the army and al the civil
power OF the government, to force the peo-
pie into submission and acquicsccnce in these
frauds and outIagcs. But we cannot spare
any more space to Mr.. Bradbury, only to
