SPIRIT OF SOUTHERN REPUBLICANS.
Yes, gentlemen, we have schooled our
selves upon that point in old Kentucky
We, the Republican party, there stand in
our defence; we meet the king with the
same weapons with which he threatens
us. Applause. On the 4th day of July,
tor, the King came down armed with RI
fies, and with shot guns, with pistol and
with bowel knife, 10 crush out this utter

ILLUSTRATIONS FROM KANSAS.
Go into Kansas where a contest was
raging between white men contending
for slavery, and white men contendng
for freedom, and where there could not
be this pretence that they were afraid of
slave instruction were YOU treated any
IL IL. NJ,
and your womou, your fathers aud your
mothers, your brothers and Your sisters
in Kansas, were treated with the same or
even more internal cruelty, than were
our patriot fathers BY the Tories Of 10 ;;
and like item they fell in order that we
mighnt be free. When the Bogus Bor-
der Ruflian Democracy had put down
and violated the provisions Of the Ne
braska bill, tramped under foot the con
siituiou and the laws, and passed that
slave-code, so detesab!e that it grows
more infamous by comparison with the
worst laws Of the worst tyrant upon
earlh-laws which drunken old Dayv
Atchison, who went out 10 make Them,
said, were ID bad laws at besl-what
then did they do? The next step was
10 throw the free Press into the rivers of
Kansas. Did they not? ('sYes YES ~
OF course they did.
DEsPyTIsM EVERYWHERE THE SANE
The motto Of despoti5m is everywhere
the same. When Louis Napoleon in a
single night overthrow the French Re-
public and assumed the dictatorship, he
Immediately put down every press in the
eity Of Paris except the Government pa
per. So, too, did Santa Anna, when !
mas in Mexico prisoner When he
made war upon the States Rights party,
overthrow The republic aud declared him,
self dictator, in one day lie put down ev-
cry free press in the city OF Mexico, ex
cept the government paper. So did they
in Kansas 50 have they done in every
>laye State in the Union. Ii is lie mot

the light" put out the light of the
press put out the light OF education,
these assemblies of the people, the free
dom OF the Post Office and freedom Of
speech; then put out that greater and di-

breast Of cur humanity (Greal an

So, gentlemen, | conclude the propo

beyond controversy, that with the liberty
Of the black goes down the liberty OF all
those who assist in his enslavement.-
Thank God il is so. For his throne is
basel upon eternal and immuable just

posed in the beginning. Now let me ask
you if there is any principle or any safe
guard OF human liberty, such as exists
in constitutional monarchies by The com
mon law Of the kingdom or is there any
guarantee Of life or liberty or the pur-
suit Of happiness, such as exists even in
What are called despotisms, which is not
lost and violated in every slave State in
this Union--existing only 50 far as force
meets force, might meets might If
