to hear but too dry 70 vrite.) A united
South and divided North forms the verte-
bre Of his great structure.
X. holds every man who supports the
Democratic party equally guilty for the
errors or wrongs Of the government
X. now comes in with prolific touch on
squstter sovereignty, slavery local, States
are sovereignties, slave trade between the

10 also.
X. il very much troubled about two car
goes Of slaves. said by him to have been
"boldly landed" in the South. within
short time. He insists that the sentiment
Of the south IL all favorable to the reopen

X. scratches his head and asks if Gen.
Dodge would support the nominee of the
Charleston Convention, if that body passed
resolutions favorable to slave code in the
Territories. and the re opening Of the Afri-
can slave trade.
K. makes his most witty hit about here
that it is cheaper to fetch negroes from Al,
RIGA 70 convert them to christianity, than
to send missionaries, the former mode offer
ing this advantage, that here the ringers
can work out their own salvation. Don't
forget to laugh when this comes, but you

X. denies that the mission of the Repub

their mission being wholly political He
holds that it is right to edrca'e them in
schools with white children, and to take
their testimony on same terms as white
testimony.
K. Gays that many, yes, all, Republicans,
believe in the truth of that Book of Books
and as it is there laid down. that God made
all men. and that Jesus Christ died for all
men. Believed that he would lose Demo.

white men are all of one blood.
X. said " so long as 60 believe, would
suffer my right arm to drop at my side. and
my tongue to be palsied, before l would
cast one vote or speak one word in favor Of

amt it?)
X. says no christian can vote for par
ty SO Infamous as the Democratic party"
X. had been tainted as Higher Law
man. Said he would not aid in recapture
of fugitive slave. There is law which
says. "Do unto others as you would otL ere
should do unto you" He drew a picture
of likely negro boy, with a weeping
wench and a sucking cub hurrying past
the audience, and the Marshal coming after
him. and the boy threatening to shoot, and
the officer BADLY scared, suppose calling
on the crowd to assist. Then comes the
grand climactsric. when X asks the audi

would rather exhaust all his property in
the payment of fines, and go back to work
as he had done from boy.
K. says that the Democrats were pledged
under Pierce to oppose re.agitation Of The
slavery question. X. had then been salts
fed but they forfeited their honor and
left them"
X. says great many went of, but Gen
Dodge would never leave his party, as he
says it's his father.
K. says 1t makes . man feel good here
(slappipg the watch-fob Of his vest) to be
Republican. Your cause. says he, il
truth. justice and right Our progress may
be impeded by the Democrats. God will
bless it, and make it victorious But, boye,
says he. it's work that wins. Labor for
success and it is cure. Go to Democrat
neighbors and persuade them your cause is
right and they wrong.
X said he had been in the southern Part
Of the State. on their corduroy roads, po-
liticaly. Here. l am In . different atmos
phere, and it makes me feel good In many
counties always democratic, l found Repub.
licans fighting on, saying that now they
would triumph.

Of also were. that in the strong republican
counties the friends were luke warm.
