his head and ears, his coat collars turned

voluminous wrapper bid defiance to the
piercing cold, and LASTLY and cheerily pro-
ceeded to stump it down tho street. From
his warm enveloping he surveyed with con
siderable satisfaction the shivering forms of
other travellers as they shufled along over

of undue complaeency he was, however,

This week we complete the Sixth Vol
umo Of the JOURNAL, about FIVE years Of
of which time it has been under our own
control. To those who have patronized us
we have sought to give an equivalent for
their money. Among all our paying pat
rons VIC do not know that tho course Of the
JOURNAL has been condemned or called in
question, and to such only do we feel under
any obligations. We desire the support
and good counsel Of all and will try and
give them well regulated and interesting
newspaper.
Tho Seventh Volume will be entered up
on with an earnest endeavor to make the
JOURNAL welcome visitor at the freside,
the counting-room and tho workshop; for
the farmer as we'll as the mechanic, always
acceptable TO the business man, and the
children as they are gathered in the family
circle. We mover have and do not intend
to admit anything to its columns which is
impure or that shall teach unwholesome
doctrines. In this community it is well
known, and on its own merits it must stand
or fall. We hope that those who have
heretofore favored us will renew their sub
scriptious, their advertising, and bring in
their job work. If our friends will do as
well as they can, we promise to make great
Improvements during the coming year.
Our TERMS, will be the same as hereto
fore, 81, so per year, in advance. Every
patron renewing his own subscription and
obtaining one new subscriber, we will give
a premium of twenty-five cents. Money
can be sent by mail at our risk.

Kansas Legislature and GOV. M


Kansas Legislature and GOV. Medary.
Tho correspondent of the st. Louis
Democrat, writing from Lawrence, Kansas,
Jan. 9Th, 1859, says:
The Territorial Legislature has adjourned
to Lawrence. Gov. Medary, after keeping
tho joint resolution for some twenty hours,
and sleeping over it, signed it; and thus, by
the common act of largo majority of both
branches and the Governor, the old bogus
Missouri capital and Minneola are both left
in the suds, and Lawrence, the political
center of all the ''isms," made the center of
legislation as it is of politics.
Independent ofall other considerations, it
would not have been prudent in Sanmeda-
Py to have taken issue with the Legislature
on an important subject. However,, as tho
Federal officers here have generally made
it their rule TO thwart the popular will, this
exception will have tendency to mako tho
now Governor popular. 1t was yesterday
forenoon that tho resolution adjourning to
Lawrence was approved, and Immediately
everybody fled from Leeompton. The Leg
islature docs not meet until tomorrow, bui
the members Of both branches are hero.

KEEP Your BOYS At HOME Ntours.


Allow me if you please, Mr.. Editor to
just hint to the parents of such boys as are
running in tho streets Of Akron nights, that
if they continue to allow them to conduct
as they have done heretofore, they may GER
tainly have the pleasure Of peeping at them
through tho CRATES Of the Penitentiary be-
fore many years. They keep bad compa-
ny and act badly for themselves. Now
don't say ''it's not my boys" for il is your
boys-yours i--YouRs Il YGURSlll Tho
best Of you, nearly all Of you. Don't take
their word for it, but just see to it yourselves
and keep thom at home nights, evcnings

from associating with thieves, bad men and
bad women. Keep them from doing mis-
chief--ksep them at home.

THE ASS IN THO LIONS SKIN.

The hair Of modern democrscyi is the hair
of lion, but tho voice is the voice of an ass.
It busters and struggles like the lion but it
brays like tho ass. The lion is only skin
deep, the ass is in the sinows, blood and
bones. A few still believe that the skin
holds real lion but the great majority
have heard tho bray of the ass and seen
his ears But enough of parallels. Mod
ern democracy is as unlike that of Jefferson
as the ass is unlike tho lion. The leaders
of the democracy in the pure days of the
Republic believed in no extension of slavery
They desired no such thing. They did not
believe in slavery. They regarded ii as at
war with the rights of man, as opposed
equally to the interests of white or black.
They desired its ultimate extinction, and
labored earnestly to exclude it from all the
territories of the United States. Tho poll
cy of all the leaders Of the early democracy
war that Of the constitution, viz: that this
government was established to promote lib
crty and not slavery. These doctrines oi
the ancient democracy sre dead and buried
The skin Of the lion only remains. This
skin, modern democracy has drawn on over
the bones of an ass, and set up the abomi
nation for the worship of the people. Blu
in spite ofall designs the ass will bray, ant
discover the base deception.
He brayed when the Missouri Compro
misc was repealed. And though lnrg'
number Of his worshippers still insisted tha
it was lions roar, tho wiser sort knew j
for the voice of an ass.
The ass brayed again when tho Dre'
Scott decision was made, and still loude
when it was endorsed by the domocrati
party. Now vast number who had be
|lieved in tho lion insisted that he had turn
cd to an ass, and even boldly asserted tha
they had seen an ass ears under the lion
shaggy name.
The ass brayed continuously when tn
democratic party undertook to force SLAYER
on the people of Kansas. All tho Office
holders made oath that it was the lion
roar, and fora while the people verify tho
it was, but when the "English" bill VIZ
passed the ass gave such blast that non
could be deceived save those who had ea
to hear and wouldn't hear.
; Of late the ass has brayed against II
, Union. Modern democracy declares thi
the Union can't stand unless slavery 90,
wherever tho Constitution goes. Und'
/ the lead Of a southern senator, Iverson
Georgia, it is now proclaimed by the bra,
ing democracy that tho south must ha,
its own road to the Pacific, because II
Union can't stand.
{ So brays the ass. But no still wears d
lions skin, and boldly claims to bO as goo
lion as need bo. Will tho people Of th
north, or any considerable number OF tner
! still believe that the braying of the ass
the roaring Of lion.
