The March of Freedom.
. Freedoms battle, once begun,
from bleeding sire to sou
III. a..e.l. L. GlaI 81 = - - /,

Though Daf1ed Off, Is always Won.
Never was there a truer sentiment than
that of the poet, in thethree lines that head
this article. Close akin to this sentiment is
that of the immortal Webster, contained in
his celebrated Grafton at the laying of the
corner stone of Bunker Hill monument.
Said the orator upon that occasion: elf the
spark of civil and religious liberty be kin
died, 1t aciH barn. Human agency cannot
extinguish it. Like the earth's central fire,
it may be smothered for time. Oceans
may overwhelm it mountains may press it
down but its inherent and unconquerable
force will lieave both the ocean and the land,
and, at some time or another, in some place
OF another, the volcano will break out, and
fame up to Heaven"
Never was this sentiment more forcibly
illustrated or proven. than by the progress
of the anti-slavery sentiment and movement
in this country. There was time when,
throughout almost the entire North, liberty
of speech, upon the subject of the aggres-
sions of the slave propaganda, was denied.
Scarcely twenty years have passed since,
even in Massachusetts, it was almost as
much as ones life was worth to advocate
the cause of the oppressed African race, and
oppose the ambitious political schemes of
the holding oligarchy. Within TWEEN
ty five years lecturers have been silenced
there by being pelted from the rostrum with
rotten eggs. so strong was public sentiment
against the free discussion of that great
questionable rights of humanity.
But, behold the change. The great party
of freedom have now nearly seventy thousand
majority in favor of free soil in Massachu-
sets, and one hundred and fifty thousand in
New England. Who need despair of an
ultimate and glorious triumph, with these
facts before them ? Surely, elf the spark
of civil and religious liberty is kindled, it
wiU burn
AS late as 1848, there was only a little
band of earnest anti-slavery men on the
Western Reserve, 10 the great State of Ohio.
The central and southern portions of that
State were entirely unaffected by the aggres-
sions of Slavery. There We're no free press
es there. Fossilized old fogyism ignored
the principles of Thomas Jefferson, and
pressed down the free energies of the State
like nightmare. But how is it now !?
Liberty has waved her magic wand over the
State, and reused into intense activity the
dormant love of freedom in the human
heart. The result has been seen in the
enormous majority which has been piled up
there for the right.
So it will yet be in Illinois, in Indiana,
in Pennsylvania, in California and Oregon,
and, in time, indeed, even in every Southern
State.
With the late succession of glorious VIC
tories which the Republican party has
achieved in every Northern State, we are
confident that we SHALL TRIUMPH in the
next Presidential contest

Consistency.

MEssRs. EDIToRs observe, in the last
issue of The News, a card s.to the publtc,,"
signed by J. H. Rankin. in which he says /;
Il am ereditably informed that the Democ-
racy throughout this Judicial district have
privately endorsed Dr. Watson as their can
didate, and have made arrangements to give
him their consolidated vote. expecting
through him to divide the Republican vote.
and thereby secure their success" Now
it puzzles me TO see how the Democracy are
to secure theiI success" By dividing the
Republican vote when they have no candi-
date in tie field.
They certainly have the right to express
their choice between two Republican candi
dates if they choose.
Now l wish to say one word with regard
to the great love for the Republican party,
expressed by Mr.. Rankin. This man Ran
kin went to several gentlemen who were
delegates to the Democratic Convention and
solicited an endorsement or Recommendation
from that contention, and gave as reason
why they should do so. that he was conser
vative, and approached nearer to Democratic
vieVs than most other Republicans do. He
also labored hard TO secure the support of
the Americas Sentinel, at that time an inde-
pendent paper with Democratic procliyities,
and edited, as he well knew, by an active,
working Democrat.
These statements I am prepared to prove
to the satisfaction of all, if the gentleman
requests it. OBSERVER.

The Proclamation of Election.
The official call from the Board of State
Canvassers for the election next Tuesday.
which we publish elsewhere, defines the
duty of each county-besides voting for
State officers. District Judge, Senators and
State Representatives, elect Probate
Judge, District Court Clerk, Superintendent
of Public Instruction, and for each precinct
two Justices of the Peace. We had over
looked the provision made in the Constitu-
ton for the latter officers, and not receiving
the proclamation of election until after our
last paper went to press, had printed and
circulated number of ticket without names
for these offices. However, steps have been
taken to re-supply every township with
tickets for full set of officers-with blanks
for filing in names for some-and we hope
the people will see to having the proper
tickets filled out and voted.
Upon consultation with prominent men
in various precincts of this county, we
have placed the name of A j. MITCHELL, of
Forest Hill. for Probate Judge. and D. A.
PAINTER, of Emporia, for District Court
Clerk, on the tickets for this county-both
capable men and true Republicans--and
hope they will receive unanimous support.

Convention at Oltumwa, this same man has
been trying to caRse a split in the Repub

unless to elect the Democratic ticket. His
past course would seem to justify this view
of the case, as it is well known that he has
always represented himself to the officials
at Lecompton asa Democrat. It is also we'll
known, and can easily be proved if doubted
that this man who is so anxious for the char

did seek the support of Democrats. and
promised that if elected he could come out
fair and square on tie Democratic platform,
