White Cloud Kansas chief. [volume] (White Cloud, Kan.) 1857-1872, 1859-10-06

took prominent part in the scenes which
resulted in the murder Of Collins, at
Doniphan. He does not believe that
negro is human being and several
years since, be published series Of arti-
cles in st. Joseph paper, to prove that
Slavery was an institution Of God. He
was once candidate to represent Buch-
anan County in the Missouri Legislature;
and Pro- Slavery as the people were. his
brutal sentiments disguised them, and
they dispensed with his services. In the
month of May, 1858, we were in Kicka-
poo. In the evening, the bar-room of the
Hotel was filled with a crowd, listening
to O'Driscoll harping upon his divine
institution, and abusing Free State peo-
pie. He then made use of words, as
nearly as we can recollect them, as fol-
lows: an Slave State, would think
nothing of working in the field with mig
gers, eating out of the same plate. and
drinking out Of the same cup with them;
but 1 would feel disgraced to sit down at
the same table with one of these Cd
id free niggers or Northern Abolition
lists !" O'Driscoll was the attorney with
whom the Grand Jury Of this County
advised, when they indicted the Free
State voters for high treason. But here
comes the most damning part of all. 1t
is said that, in a public speech, O'Dris-
coll declared that three-6fths Of the Nor
thern women were prostitutes, and stig-
matized the white working girls of the
North as prostitutes Here is a man
asking you to vote for him to make laws
for you, who has pronounced your mothers,
wives, sisters and daughters prostitutes ;
and who would blacken the characters Of
those honest poor girls who are necessita-
ted to perform house work or sewing for
q living!
CAREY B. WHITEHEAD, of Petersburg,
for Representative. Another Border Ruff
/ fan, and actor in the Kansas troubles.
Mr.. Whitehead was elected Sheriff of this
County, four years ago. Upon him de-
volved the duty of dragging up those
Free State men who were indicted for
high treason, and compel them to pay
heavy fines or go to prison. 1t is said
that bloodhound never pursued its vic
tim more eagerly or relentlessly, than did
Sheriff Whitehead those Free State men
who stood up for their liberties. But two
years ago, Sheriff Whitehead turned Free
State speakers from the Court House,
and locked its doors against Free State
Conventions. And later still, Demo
crat who undertook to denounce the pro-
ceedings of the Lecompton Democracy,
was compelled to use club to enforce
his right to be heard, against the wishes
of Whitehead and others of his ilk And
this man. Free State people of Kansas,
the Democracy ask you to send to the
Legislature, to make laws for you!
EGBERT NJ. LEE, of Troy, for Recorder.
Our pen refuses to let down ink We
will write it with lead pencil, that it
may be erased, and the world forget it !
This person was Fremonter in Wiscon-
sin, in 1856, and was almost the head
man in the list of signers of a call for a
meeting to organize the Republican party
in Doniphan County, some fifteen months
ago. Less than year ago, he was pro-
fessed Republican, and took it as an insult,
when a Democrat asked him to run on
their ticket. Two years ago, the Free
State party took him, poor young man,
from stable in Doniphan, and elected
him to his present Office, which he was
not then qualified to fill. He thought he
saw signs of an overwhelming Democratic
majority in the County; and last Spring
he openly deserted those who made him,
as it was surmised he would do, for some
months before. Himself q new recruit,
he is now engaged in reading old Demo
Democrats out Of the party, for favoring
the Wyandotte Constitution |! 1t is even
said that be is using his Office as means
to secure his reelection. One thing is
certain beyond surmise: that certain
drunken Pro-Slavery pettifoggers about
Troy, openly boast that the Recorders
office is Democratic Office We sin
cerely trust that the voice of the people.
in November, viii again consign him to
the shades of livery stable. from which
it never should have called him
j. w. SHEPHERD, of Doniphan. for
Sheriff. If this gentleman is not . de-
scendant of Jack Sheppard. Of Newgate
memory, it is at least as difficult mat
ter to keep him in any party, as it was to
keep Jack in any prison. He is man
whose passions are his principles-whose
personal animosities govern his politics.
If he falls out with prominent member
of party, he bids the party goodbye.
