" PGcIFIc RarLAoGD.-Is there citizen
of Kansas who does not desire to sec the
Pacific Railroad commenced and compile
ted ? snd is there one Who does not think
that the Road ought to start from some
point in Kansas! But perhaps every
one does not know why the Road has not
yet even been located. We will tell
them. 1t is because the Administration,
with Democratic Senate and Demo
cratic House. were bent upon starting the
Road from some point in Slave territory.
They had control Of all the Committees
in both Houses Of Congress, but they
well knew that il they reported bill for
the Railroad. fixing its eastern terminus
at point South. there were enough in
dependent men in the House to defeat the
scheme. and 6x upon some point in Kan
sas or Nebraska. where it should start
from therefore. in order to prevent this,
they would report no bill at all. and the
Road has not yet been commenced, lest
the South should not reap all the benefits
Of it.
Remember, that If you elect Judge
Haldsrmsn to Congress. he will be par
tissn Of that same party and Admins
tration. and thus operate against the in
terests Of Kansas; and il you elect a ma
iority of Democrats to the Legislature.
they will choose two United States Sen
stors of the same stripe. If you desire
the welfare and prosperity Of Kansas,
elect Republican Legislature, and send
Judge Conway to Congress.

SALrr.-Cassius NJ. Clay, whatever
his enemies may say Of him, at least has
the merit of speaking plainly, and to the
point. His speeches usually contain
more truth than poetry. Here is spe-
cimen. He recently made . speech at
Covington, Kentucky. in which the mob
that destroyed the Free Soil paper at
Newport, was handled without gloves.
In the course Of his remarks, he was in
terruptcd by voice in the crowd. tell
ing him to set his slaves free, to which
he replied as follows:
They are. and now l want to do the
next best thing. I want to set those fell
lows that call themselves Democrats free.
for God knows they need it more than
the nigge-s. Now. gentlemen, If you
will allow me to tell you. niggors get a
good master sometimes. but your mas
tors neither feed or cloths you. but put
their hands in the exchequer to take ont
the contsnts, and the devil Of bit of it
DO they give to you poor fellows. have
often thought of this as have seen Cuffy,
black and sleek. working in the field.
and then have seen the lazy, dirty, lousy
Democrats, unfed and ragged. halloaing
"hurrah for Democracy, and damn mig
gerism."

TIM Boor OK rHE OrHra LEo.-THe

TIE BooT OK THE OTHER LEa.-The
Democracy are sndeavoring to operate
against Mr.. Seaver in this place. by har-
ping upon the circumstance of his having
carried to the Legislature. last Winter. q
rsmonstrance against the petition Of the
citizens Of White Cloud. to be annexed
to Brown County. They should sing
dumb on that question. for 4 candidate
on their own ticket il more blameable
than Mr.. Seaver. The remonstrancs was
originated and signed by the principal
men Of lows Point. prominent among
whom was x. K Stout. They then sent
it to HIGHLAND. and in order to enlist the
CO. operation Of the people Of that place,
they represented that the proposed line
would run through the centre of the High
land town site. thus placing that town in
. very undesirable situation. Under this
impression. most of the citizens of High
land signed the remonstrance, and Mr..
5eaver carried It to Lawrence. where the
Legislature was in session. They re-
manned under the impression that the
change Of lines would have thrown their
town into two Counties. until about q
month since, when. the matter having
been agitated again. for political capital.
the truth was explained to them. II they
had not been deceived BY X. K. Stout &
Co.. they would never have signed the
remonstrancs. and White Cloud would
now be where her citizens desired her to
be placed.

S The Atchison Union says we are
mistaken in saying that Robert L. Pease,
the Democratic candidate for Treasurer
Of State, is Pro- Slavery man. and de-
sires us to make the correction. We will
take the Unions word for it, that Mr..
Pease has heretofore claimed to be Free
State man. At the same time, we have
not the least doubt that he voted against
the Free State Constitution Of Kansas,
as did the Editor Of the Union, who was
Fremonter, in New York, in 1856
Opposition to the Constitution was moth
ing more nor less than an Administration
and Pro-Slavery movement and the
Democratic party is essentially Pro-
Slavery party. although some of its men,
beers may claim TO be Free State in senti-
ment. Therefore, Mr.. Pease and the edi-
tor of the Union, and all others who act
with the Democratic party Of Kansas,
as at present constituted. are doing as
much in favor of Slavery, and conse-
quently are as much Pro- Slavery men, as
any OF the old Border Ruffians.

would be oyerrun with free negroes in

which have strenuous laws against their
being in the State, even to selling them
into Slavery if they persist In remaining,
The Free States, with white population
of Is. 475. 210. have 1876. 2S2 free negroes.
while the Slave States. with white pop
ulstion of only 1920. 4ls. have 2Ss. 1877
free negroes. The Free States have more
than twice as many whites as the Slave
States: yet the Slave States have over
40. 900 more free negroes the Free States.
Pennsylvania, the second State in the

negroes while Maryland. one of the
