In their immediate heighborhood, and general

is deceptive. The same leelings-the same
desire to fight-exists NOW as did exist before
the appearance Of the dragons. Travellers
here and there are stopped and robbed, and
cabins where arms are secrcted and rheh station

ammunition. These attacks on tie part Of tie

and orderly manner than heretofore. When
done, il is done so that no bogus sheriff, backed
by the United States dragons, knows upon

arms and ammunition have been taken from
different places where they had been stored by
the pro-slavery regulators, and expeditions are
now on foot looking to further captures! We

This writer let's out the whole secret of
the Republican campaign Of 1856. 1t was war
in Kansas, and agitation at the North His
operations in the line of bloodshed and ROBBERY
looked solely to Frenont's election. John
Brown appears to have been controlled by a
cordial love for such Kansas acmk"-to use his
own expressive phrase while many Of theirs
associates were controlled by both these motives
The sasacity of the people detected this foul
conspiracy, and by the Presidential election Of
1856 the Republican party was found to be in
a minority in the popular vote of the Union,
by the instrumentality of not less than 1886
600 votes! 1t has lost instead Of gaining
strength since then; but by the divisions of the
conservative masses opposed to them, this par
ty, which is now in minority of more than a
million Of the popular vote Of the Union, dares
to hope and contend for an administration o.
the government upon its own sectional uncon-
stitutional, and infamous basis. It aims to
work wrong injustice, and insult to our south
eFn brethren ofa minority goUe'nment.

Supreme Court gave lis decision iii the celebra-
ted bred Scott case. The case had been begun
in Missouri in 1858, was appealed to the Su-
preme Court, and the judgment there appeared
in the spring of1657. With Unusual tnanim-

Judges who, up to that hour, had been rcyered
by every good citizen, and respected even by
the bad, were reviled as tools of the slave pow

members of the court declared to be in their do

any other Republican organ; declared that their
judgment was not entitled TO any more "moral

Mr.. Seward charged directly collusion and
corrupt conniyancc on the court, in his speech
in the Senate on Sd March. Hear him, n.
"The mock debate had been heard in the
chamber of the court in the basement of the

at the seat OF Government, whom the dullness
of a judicial investigation could not disgust.
The court did not hesitate to please the ineansing
President by seizing this extraneous and idle
forensic discussion, and converting it into an oc-
casion for pronouncing an opinion that the Mis-
souri, prohibition was void, and that by force Of
the Constitution, slavery existed, with all the
elements of property in man over man, in all

Well might Senator Benjamen ask. s'1s there
not VOID of truth in this? Not one! Is a
solitary fact alleged? Not one; but broad and
naked Charge is made, which is intended to
stump infamy upon characters hitherto beyond
the breath OF reproach. Shame, shame upon
the Senator that makes such charges as these,
and has no proof to support them" ..s s3.r
Further on, in the same speech, Mr.. Seward
boldly threatens an attempt to re-oaganize the
Supreme Court so as to make it conform to the
will Of che Republican party. He says:
"The Supreme Court also can reverse its
spurious Judgment more easily than we can
reconcile the people to its usurpaton . X

Never, never. let The cotgtrecede. Whether it
recedes or not, we shall re-ofganize the Court,
and thus reform its political sentiments and
PRACTICES, and bring them into harmony with
the Constitution and the laws OF nature.''
Following mp the same strain, Mr. Abraham
Lincoln says: The Ps?p7e IF he United. Syqtes
