@- The Cedor Democrat is greatly
worried At our exposure Of some of its
plagiarisms. The last Democrat, speak.
ing Of u staten ent made by US two " eeks
ago, says, "The statement that, We
i" used to find the same editorials in
as both Democrats is false, and we
" challenge the proof" We hope the
Democrat will not get excited. If it has
not got used to having its inco' sis,en-
cies exposed, it soon will be unless it
changes its course. If the Democrat
will look at the Adeertiser Of Sept. 18th,
1883, i, will find "the proof" which We
then gave. The Democrat did not dare
to controvert it at that time, and would
not how, had its memory been as long as
it ought to have been. The Democru,
closes its chaste remarks with the follow
ing original philippe: We have heard
of people getting rich by mind,ng their
=" own business suppose You try it, Mr..
/" Adrertiser.' There, now; amt that
cutting? We expect that next the
Democrat vii! threaten to make mouths
at our sister, if We don't let it alone.-
We thank the Democrat for its advice
and shall endeavor to profit by it, but We
beg leave to inform it that a small part
of our "own business" is to expose its
tergiversations and if it winces under the
exposures the fault is net ours but its

The bill declares that the State of
Kansas shall be admitted into the Union
under the Wyandotte Constitution on an
equal footing with the original States in
all respects whatsoever. The boundaries
begin ut the point on the western bound.

Until the next general apportionment
Kansas shall be entitled to one member

The Potter and Pryor Difficulty.

\ few days since when when Mr..
Lovejoy, Of H., made a speech in the
House of Representatives, he was inter.
rup,cd By several of the chivalry. Pryor
Of Virginia, was quite prominent. He
said that Mr.. Lovcjoy should not come
on TIE Democratic "side of tie House
shaking his fist in their faces" (Mr
Lovcjoy was standing in the customary
place Mr.. Potter said, "this side shall
be heard, let the consequences be what
they may" Mr.. Pryor repeated his re,
marks aud Mr.. Potter said, '.you are
doing the same thing now" Pryor went
to the Globe Office and erased part of
what Mr. Potter had said. Mr.. Potter
discovered the fact and replaced the
words. The Gtobe appeared with the
correct account of the colloquy aud Mr..
Pryor arose to question of privilege
aud wanted to know if Mr.. Potter in,
tended to menace or insult him. Mr.
Potter explained the facts in the case
and stated what he meant, and in reply
to question of Pryor said that he stood
by his words. 1t has been understood
that Mr.. Pryor, being prcfesscd dueIis.
and good shot, was sent to Congress
for the express purpose of bullying
Northern men into a duel, SO that he
could kill them off, one by one
After the above occurrence Mr.. Pryor
sent challenge to Mr. Potter. Mr..
Potter thought he had neither given nor
intended affronts justifying the peremp
tory demand, aad although opposed to
dueling "hc regarded the cause of FREE
speech as inherent in his person, aud
was determined to vindicate to the last
extremity his own personal lights, as
well as those of his constituents. He
accepted the challenge and to place then,
on an equality he chose bowie knives as
the weapons to be used, as he was no,
used to the pistol. Mr.. Pryor's second
objected to the weapon named as ''ab
surd, barbarous and vul gar" and refused
to fight on such terms. Col. Lander, Mr..
Potter's second, then offered to take
his principals place aud fight with any
weapons they might choose. This offer
was not accepted and the duel will prob
ably end there. Mr.. Potter appeared in
his seat, after the above refusal, and was
held to bail. Mr.. Pryor had not yet
placed himself within reach of the au
thorlties. We are opposed to duelins,
and think that had MIR. Potter refused
to accept the challenge and prepared to
defend himself, he would have occupied
higher moral position than he does
now AS it is Mr.. Pryor has showed
the white feather by refusing to fight on
equal terms He Is pr'6cien: iu the
use Of the pistol and with tina. weapon
has an advantage over most men. His
excuse is poor one, for the whole sys.
TEN of dueling is "atsurd, ;barbarous and
vulgar. Mr.. Potter had expected to go
home this week, but he will now remain
IN " ashl"gton, prepared to meet the ex-
isenc'es OF the case as they may arise
What a free country the Democrats
would make had they the power. They
want to abrldge free speech in Congress

vine institution" slavery. Tho world
