defiai magic and irresistible potency OF cpl

wee in the hands Of the biggest fool as the
biggest statesman among them, they ring
the changes with an assiduity worthy OF

answer argument with opilhet, and seek TO
c0niound their opponents, not SO much by
the dexterily with which they WELD a soph-

Black Republican who has the manliness
10 war upon their corruption; and every
man who refuses TO pronounce the shibbo-

black Republicans and giving aid and COM

Mark ''the insensate howl" Of that party
IN Missouri! Observe with what reckless
ness Of statement and shameless dupIicity
Ihey charge the Americans and Wings with
having gone over TO Black Repubhcanlsm
And in The face OF all their clamor and
Clap trap on this ever fruitful theme, kog

Mr.. CHRISTIAN KRIBsEN, Jesuit and a
German, bolted tne Baltimore nomination in
l648, denounced Gen. CASE, the regular
Democratic candidate for the Presidency,
and here in Missouri raised the flag of the
Free Soil candidate, MARTIN VAN BUREN.
He stood upon the epressible conflict"
platform adopted al Buffalo, pledging him
seIf"to limit, localize and discourage sla-
very" inseribing upon his banner the words
free sell, Tree speech, free labor and
free men," Ten years after this period,
we find him, although nominally Ma
tional Democrat" Free Soiler as before,
OF The "irrepressible conflict" persuasion.
Black Republican and an Emancipat onist.
True, he was regular nominee Of the Ma
t.enal Democrats in St. Louis county for
the Legislature, but what of that2 He was
none the less Black Republican in senti-
ment, ard very probably was PIT upon The
Democratic ticket in order to catch Republic
can votes among Ike Germans, for that tick
et. At all events we know that in July,
1853, this same CHRISTIAN KRIBsEs, at
the invitation of Certain "Nationals" about
he Stale Capital, came 10 Jefferson City
and made speech, The design Of which,
among other, was 70 rally his countrymen,
The Germans, 10 the suPpart Of the Demo
cfaiic ticket. In that speech. according
10 the Jefferson Inquirer Ct Jlly 5lst, 1858
he said:
He was no slave holder and never would
De: he was opposed 10 Inc institution INTO
TO-he had learned that opposition from
his ierefaihers, he had sucked it from his
mothers breast; that after coming 10 this
country some person had offered him slave
but neither him nor his wife would accept
u. They did not want his labor; thai ii he
could ertiaguish SLAVERY FROM MIS-

his he'd or wink OF his eye, he would 4

WAS, they, as the owners of slaves, would
