Letting the Cat Out Of the Bug The
following is an extract from letter written
from Kansas, on February Gath, 1858, to the
Vicksburgh Wing. The writer was a mem
Der of the Lecompton Convention, and tells
what he knows:
"My reason for leaving is, l think, good
one. cannot stay any longer. have been,
as every one must be, identified with poll
tics. ], unfortunately for my future pros
poets in Kansas, have taken an active and
rather prominent part. And now, to con-
fess the truth and shame the devil, we, the
pro slavery men, cannot expect any mercy
or favors from the id Abolitionists for.
although we have been in minority ever
since came to Kansas, we have denied this,
to prevent dscouraging emigration from the
South, and have bullied aud swindled them
in our elections, until even admit that they
have right to feel outraged. To-day they
outnumber US at least four or five to one.
The disproportion is too g eat for us to fight
any longer-the more SO from the fact that
the ensuing springs emigration will swell
their majority to probably eight or ten to
one; for our men areleaving dai y, and theirs
are pouring in.'

Tie STEBB1Ns PLATFORM re-
members the platform on which the great
Stebbins planted himself when he run for
President of the United States. When ask.
ed how he stood on the Maine Law, he
promptly answered that he was "in favor
of the law, but against its execution" This
admirable political position has been assu-
med in New Hampshire and other States
by the Democratic party, in resolutions ex-
pressing undated confidence in Mr.. Bu-
chanan, and pronouncing against the meas
Hre on which he has staked his Administra-
ton. Mr.. Hale showed up the resolutions
from New Hampshire, and said that the
Democrats of his State only meant to endorse
Mr. Buchanan, and to repudiate his acts!-

SIGNs OF DKcAY-AND OF HoPE.-The adj
mission of Kansas under the Lecompton
Constitution, passed the Senate by ayes 33,
nays 25. The Fugitive Slave bill passed the
Senate in 1850 by a vote of q ayes, and en-
ly - nays, and the Nebraska bill, repeating
the Missouri Compromise, passed the same
body in 1854 by ayes 81, nays IA. Thus,
year by year, does the slave power decay,
until we see 25 negative votes cast in the
Senate against its favorite measure. This
number is destined to expand until it estab-
fishes Freedom in the citadel. SO long occu-
pied by Slavery.-Abany Journal.

REPUBLICAN FARMERS !

Friends, we sayto you, come out and
vote on Monday!
The election is doubly important, as
showing the sentiment of this county on the
infamous policy of the Administration.
Leave your blowing and sowing at least
onshour, aid work for principles. Our
candidate, THos. BEHAM, is an honest man,
good scholar, a first rate teacher, and q
true Republican.
If you wish to carry the county in October,
you must carry it next Monday!

wilt Lteompton Pass the House.!
The Washington correspondent of the N.
Y. Times, under date of the 25th inst,
writes as follows respecting the fate of Le-
compton in the House:
l do not share in the confident anticipa
tions of the defeat of the Lecompton swindle
in which some of our friends indulge. The
fight is close one. The moral weapons are
all with the opposition, but the material
weapons and ammunition are with the Lee
comptonites. l hope the fraud cannot be
consummated. If past experience had not
taught me how unsafe it is to rely upon the
most solemn reservations Of the merely
sordid politician, should have no doubt Of
the result. To-day there is clear majority
pledged to the defeat of the Lecompton
scheme; but anticipate 'treachery and the
confident manner of the leading Lecompton
ties themselves gives color to the rumor that
certain of the professed opponents of the
measure are playing false for the purpose of
blind. God grant it may not be SO; but the
constituencies will do we'll to watch closely,
and remember that treachery in such a cause
as this must have been purchased with a
price.

Erth journal.

Mr.. MAnM:-I hear it reported about the
streets that a large number Of Republicans
have resolved to bolt the nominee Of the
party for County Superintendent,
and vote for the Democratic candidate for
that Office. This report or Islander has had
its origin in the brain of some Locofoco who
desires to manufacture capital for his can
didate out of Republican material.
was one that voted in the nominating
for another candidate than the
one chosen. My first choice was not Mr..
Beham, but went into that convention with
fair and honorable intentions, hoping to be
able to secure the nomination of the candi-
date of my first choice, and if that candidate
had been chosen, would have expected that
every Republican vote would have been cast
for the nominee, and upon the same princi-
pie, every Republican vote that was against
Mr.. Beham in the nominating convention
will be active to secure his election on Mon.
day next.
Were we as Republicans to adopt the in
genious suggestions Of our managing Dem
ocrats, and vote for their candidate at this
election to crafty personal pique, where
might we expect to be at another and more
important election? We would be divided
and scattered, losing our political identity
as party, surrendering ourselves into the
hands of men in whose principles we have no
confidence. If we have faith in our princi
ciples, let US show it by our adherence to
our ticket, fairly chosen by majority vote
of the Convention.
Everything bids fair for the success Of
Republicanism in Iowa, if we come up with
an undivided front, resolved to support on,
principles and men at all elections, discard
ing and condemning factious opposition in
our ranks to our regularly nominated candi
dates.
l have no hesitation in saying that Mr.
Beham is eminently qualified to fill the ofic,
to which he aspires with credit to himself
and to the entire satisfaction of the educa.
tional interests of the county. If elected
his undivided attention will be devoted tt
the duties of his office. The educationa
interests and the duties of his Office will no
be divided with another calling or profession
His entire time will be wholly occupied il
inaugurating and carrying into practica
effect the new school system. For myself,
am free and ready to repel the charge tina
there will be any desertion by any Repub
licans that participated in the nominating
convention.
l have met quite number of Republicans
from the country, who charge that in Mus.
catine there always are those who are dis
posed to rebe, and bolt when their first choice
is not selected as the candidate. l ask my
fellow Republicans of Muscatine city if this
charge is true? If it has been hitherto, let
US show that we can be as true and loyal as
our friends in the country.
say to our friends in the country that on
Monday next we hope to have no malcon-
tents in the Republican ranks in the city
that we will march to the polls in solid
phalanx-harmoniou and undivided
ring successful and triumphant victory in
favor of our principles.
A TRUE REPUBLICAN,.

Theatre, New York, on Saturday week,
Henry Ward Beecher was the leader in the
devotional exercises. Every place in the
theatre which could contain human being

gives the following incident:
