Mr. Elitor.--
You are aware that t. stir up the feelings

rily requires a mastery elisrt. 1t is with
satisfaction that we ar able to say t. vla.
that such an effort his ben put forth hero
and such Il dc>irahl' result ;.rc1mpli>,.ei-

vance Of anything t. which W. have eyer
had an opportunity of listening. For
breadth of thought cu.cncy of argument,
force Of truth and power Of persuasion, it is
acknowledged 10 have been a superior pro-
duction. The principles embodied in, and
the circumstances attending the infamous
"Enslsh swindlc" were portrayed in such a
manner, that every hearer-eycn the IN st
corrupt and scryilc doughflce-w,ls compall-
ed to see the truth and Gf mar fyeractv)
acknowledge it. ".And," SAYS the Hon
speaker, (thoush | cannot quote his precise
language, still give the sentiment chow
any man in Congress with consciousness of
hi, manhood could for u mom"nt listen t.
that odious bill, vita its bride in one hand

To restrain one : natural resentment under

That bill was hut the last in a climax of
usurpAti9ns which the administration o.
Pierce and Buchanan have been innic;ins,
for the ruin Of Kansas; and they have all
been accomplished through hyPocritcal pre-
fences. The compromise WAS repealed for
the ostc sblc purpose Of removing a geo
graphical line-its real purpose, as is now
shown without the shadow of a doubt, was
the crtcnSion Of sidcery. IT its friends, true
TO their avowcd object, had stopped here,
there would have been peace in Kansas long
ago. But another innovation was b follow.
Squattrr sovereignty must be inausurated
If they had stayed their hands here, all had
been we'll, and there would still have been
peace in Kansas. But no; that virgin, bat
ill-iatod territory must feel their wrath yet
again, and yauntcd popular Sovereignty
WAS murdered IN cold blood by its own
friends, ere it could raise its hands to put
forth one effort toward accomplishing the
good which its advocates promised.
Again the enemies Of freedom saw that
without some further Interference on their
part, Kansas would unayoidably become IA
free state. Such an idea could not for a
moment be entertained; and federal guns
and bayonets must be brougt to bear upon
the elections there. The sequel is known
Such Were the doings Of the slave oligar-
chy of the South, abctted by its cringing
mnions in the north;-and kind reader, is
there Il man on Columbia's soil, daring to
assert his rights and shout for liberty, who
does not treat sueh foul indisnitics with
their deserved contempt Where can the
freeman be found who viii thus violate, Yea,
destroy the Bill Of Human Rights" and
force upon the unwilling citizens Of terri
tory the Calling yoke of IA bondage which, il
it had besn cured, would have chaf.d her
