For ne Herald Of Freedom.
G. W. Brown, SIg I'm your paper OF
December 25th, I noticed an article headed
"a War of Roses, ;" in which you say, that
at is said that there are several persons
who want the post of our present efficient
and gentlemanly Postmaster, and each are
laboring hard to secure it. The three new
candidates are said to be James Christian,
Esq, DR.. Huson and Mr.. Holbrook.
Now in regard to james Christian, Esq,
being an applicant for the office. am au-
thorized to say that it is all mistake
! am somewhat acquainted with that
gentleman, and know his feelings upon
the subject. He is not an applicant for
that nor any other Office in the gift Of
the present Administration-nor in the
gift Of the vain glorious old curmudgeon
now at its head And, besides, if be were
an applicant, there is an insuperable OBJ
lection to his appointment with the pres
ent domineering and anti Democratic Ad-
ministration, and that is: he has always
been an uncompromising Democrat from
the days of jackson to the present time,
and expects to remain Democrat while
life and reason lasts and having learned
his lessons in the Jackson school of De-
mocracy, he takes the liberty of doing his
own thinking, and forming his own
opinion of men and measures, regardless
of Executive power, or Presidential die
tation.
But this is enough to damn any man in
the eyes of portion of the Federal OH
GERS, and certain newly pledged Demo-
Gratis, who have scarcely get the she'll of
their backs since they were Matched out
of Whigism, Know Nothingism, and some
other isms, but no par-excellent Demo-
Gratis, being firmly united to that party by
the cohesive ties of public plumber.
Mr.. Christian wishes it distinctly I'M
derstood that he asks no favor from Mr..
Buchanan, nor his Administration. Don't
expect to get any, nor don't intend to give
any. He is as independent as hog on
ice if he can't stand up, he can sit down.
He has lived forty years of his life with
!. out Government pap" and he thinks
: that if no bad luck attends him, he can
live the balance without any. And here
= let me remark, to "all the world and the
9 rest of mankind" that, although Dele
n gate to the late Leavenworth Convention
. that attempted to organize, or rather to
re-organize the Democratic party in Kan
t sas, by so doing he does not acknowledge
q fealty to the Kansas policy of King James
the First, of Wheatland, who, in many re-
spects, resembles his illustrous prototype,
!. James the First, of England.
LIST. History informs US that james Of
: England was Prince of considerable
n learning and talent. James Of Wheatland
n is considered man of considerable abil.
: ity, also.
> I'd. JONES, of E., became unpopular
: from his notions of an uncomfortable pre-
i rogative and disposition to dictate to his
u subjects. James, Of w., became unpopu-
7 lar on account of his notions Of forcing
v his test Necompton,) down the throats Of
D. his subjects.
It Sd. In the reign of James Of E., popu-
y !. lar opinion was turned strongly in favor
of extending the rights of the subjects
d In the reign of James of W., public
g opinion turned pretty strongly in favor Of
J. !. squatter sovereignty.
sr 4th. In the reign of james Of E., the
ID gunpowder plot was discovered. In the
ut reign of James of W., the candle-box plot
!. was discovered.
If 9TH. 1t was a peculiar weakness Of
James of E., to attach himself to unde-
n: serving favorites. james of W. seems TO
% be affected with the same disease.
80 9th. A fayorite project of james Of E.,
to was a union of Scotland and England,
with the consent of the people. A favor
ne lite project of James of w., was uniting
e, of Kansas to the National Union without
10 the consent of the people.
IT, I might carry this comparison much
he farther, but the above is sufficient for my
Il purpose.
he lam still Democrat, and expect to
te- live and die Democrat, for / believe
OF that in the success of the principles Of
'e- true Democracy the salvation Of this coun'
try depends. And I am free to say, thai
ey to the misrule of the present and late Ad'
ar ministration are we indebted for the 'riss
and progress" of the Republican party
- ~ party more dangerous inits tendency thar
ore any that has ever been organized in Amer
ct lea. A disregard of the first principles o
OF Democracy has been the cause Of our ruin
s sD as a party; our acts and conduct giyin'
ms the lie to our professions.
but We need new organization with ne,
OBJ leaders; the country demands nations
OBJ organization, based on the old landmark
of Democracy, recognizing the people
mi sovereign in each State and Territory
5 at Such an organization, with Stephen
: Of Douglas or Robert J. Walker at
'On N head. would be insincible in 1850, no
our withstanding these gentlemen and thu
as friends have been read out Of the par
and by the powers that be. and their plsc
, M,, filed by new converts. and blind W
shippers Of the Great Mogul.
