The most extrsvsgsnt praise Is awarded
BY The Republicaa papers in the State. to
the late Ossawasamis Convention. -
Great High Priest Of the party WAS there
TO administer cheer and comfort to the
heross Of % many battles for " freedom
aud natural rights" The Des Moines
Cittze~ wrishes little With the agony Of
1856, ~ it recalls the bloody scenes Of that
dark revolutionary period. Its endorse
ment Of the platform Of Kansas Repub.
licans is earnest and emphatic. Hear it {:
" The platform is one that will command
the appreciation Of Republicans through
out the Union. We hope to see Iowa
speak out through the Republican Con-
vention in the same bold and uncompro-
misidg spirit All right! We rather
admire such frsnkness. It looks 10 if
there was something right and important
in those Ossawatamie resolutions which
Republicans wish TO proclaim boldly and
commit themselves to unreservedIy.
One Of those resolutions We notice reads
ne declare our submission TO the Consti
futon and lass Of tie United States."-
This savors somewhat Of penitence and
sorrow for former treason and rebellion
It 10 good doctrine and therefore accspta-
bic TO Democrats-it Is a pledge Of order
and therefore cheering to peace loving CT.

expressed more in the resolution than was
intended-or else it = q false alarm. Tn.
used to dealing in such sentiments, it is
quite probable that Republicans do not
fully comprehend the con servative force of
those words in that connection. For it
cannot be that they would avow one thing
and do the opposite. Oh no, it would be
a slanderous accusation to intimate that.
And, yet, the same column of the Citizen
which declares its submission to the laws
Of the United States, contains a long
rsn.:ng article approving of the action Of
the Oberlin Rescuers, who prevented U.
s. officers from executing a "law ofMe

the attention Of the Supreme Court OF
Ohio, composed. if we mistake not, Of

the Z. S. Officials? Yet these political
nondescri pts we're not satisfied. Repub.
leans submitting to "the laws of the
United States!" Have they not resisted
the Fugitive Slave Law in Massachusetts,,
New York, Ohio and Wisconsin Does
not the Citizen in countenancing such re
sstance say "wc feel and know that the
Republicans of Iowa. are ready to stand
by the action of Wisconsin and Ohio, IN
defence Of State Sovereignty and the
liberty Of the citizen" What a glorious
conception Republicans must have of

negro rescue, or trampled down in the Just

such vi'lanous hypocricy.
Strange consistency that which processes
submission to the Constitution and Laws
in Convention. and out of it offers pre-
