In few weeks the Presidential campaign will be fairly
opened and then viii be witnessed one Of the most i'm
portant and exciting political struggles for victory and
power fought in this country. Whether Republican
Truth Democratic Error shall triumph for the People
to decide. We firmly believe that the Republican party
can it WILL elect the President but they have got
to work hard and steadily in order to do IT, They cannot
rest alone upon The justice and humanity Of their
and hope to succeed Chcanery and corruption coaked
and concealed under the sounding name Of Democracy
must be dragged to light and exposed TO view The only
in which the Republican party hope to succeed is
TO eghen the Masses and to do that successfully Re-
publican documents must be circulated everywhere with
no nggardly hand. Nine out Of every ten In the
North could they but have the principles Of the two par.

understand the issues at stake the many benefits that

Democracy will leave untried stone unturn-

freely bestowed wherever it is needed secure the cleo
ton of their candidate.
In order to give the GAZETTE wide circulation as
possible during the coming campaign we have decided
put the subscription price down to sum that will barely
pay the cost Of paper and printing and would ask our
Republican friends in this portion of the State to aid us
and the good cause, in this matter. II one or more IN
each locality would do little, the aggregate would be
large.
For the Six Months commencing with

We have set our mark for 1000 campaign subscribers.

Buchanan's Letter.

Poor old uncle "Jeemes" is very much
troubled in spirit about these days,-and well
he may be. The "Covode Investigating
Committee are bringing facts to light that
are not very flattering to our latter-day De-
mocracy generally, and our venerable Chief
Magistrate in particular. Among the many
instances of corruption, bribery and official
venality laid open to public view, is letter
written by President Buchanan, in July, 1867,
to Hon. Robert j. Walker, then Governor OF
Kansas, which we publish entire in another
column. By this letter it will be seen that in
1857 Mr. Buchanan was an advocate of " Pop
ular Sovereignty in the strict meaning Of
the terms. We would respectfully ask our
Democratic friends to tell us, if they can,
what could have induced Mr. b., in the course
of few weeks after inditing this letter, to
throw complete political somersault, and act
directly in CONFIRMATION to his own written
instructions, and remove from Office the gen.
tleman who, acting under those instructions,
was but doing his sworn duty, and commence
course of uncompromising hostility against
all those who dared to say that this document
fairly expressed the principles of the Demo-
cratic party. Nothing could be clearer, more
explicit precise, than the tone Of this letter,
and nothing arose to justify any measure
that should nullify its essential features. The
truth is, the "nigger" Democracy demanded
it, and Mr.. Buchanan had not the moral stam-
ina to withstand their unjust demands and
abide by his own convictions of justice, and
consequently sold himself, body and soul, to
Southern oligarchists In no enyiable light
does this place our worthy President. He
win leave the Presidential chair despised by
all classes, for consistency is a jewell and
the man that will prove traitor to his own
ideas Of Truth and Right, win enjoy the es-
TEEN of none and the contempt Of all.

WnAT is WORSE THAN CRIME ?-An exchange
says truly that 1T is not crimes such as muir
der and robbery which destroy the peace Of
society, SO much as the contemplate gossip,
the family quarrels, jealousies and chickering's
between neighbors, meddlesomeness and tat
ting, which are the canker that eats into all
social happiness" How forcible this remark
must come to the minds of many who have
witnessed the misery produced by tattling in
a neighborhood. Better by far live in neigh
borhood Of thieves than one of liars and all
tattlers are liars, and what is worse than that
both thieves and murderers; they steal the
good name Vi the innocent, and by blasting
the fair fame Of the virtuous, send to pre-
mature grave many tender beings, who can
not rise beyond the reach of their demoniac
shafts. Oh! that every virtuous female and
honorable man could and would heed the ad-
vice of one who talked sense in a plain way when
he said, Don't make yourself miserable and
chase lies and ISLANDERS round the world
Live them down. The worst lies and most
wicked SANDERS can't stand long against a
good life. They are generally the tools Of the
wicked one which are not worth picking up
a part Of the world has nothing else to do
but SANDER the other part. They serve their
master, do their work, and will hare their
merited reward"

ARREST OF LYNN LEATHER DEALER ON A
CHARGE OF ENTERTAINMENT OF $40,00o.-Offi-
, cor Lynch, Of the detective force of this city,
accompanied by James Thorington, Esq,
Sheriff Of Scott County, Iowa, arrived here
Thursday, having in custody Edward A. Oil
yc-, of Lynn, on charge Of embezzlement in
the sum Of $4,000. Oliver disappeared
very suddenly about the 21st Of December
last. He had previously bought $4,000
worth Of stock, and then gone into insolven-
CIV, when his assets were found to be only
$4,000. At the first hearing, things wore a
suspicious appearance, but before matters
could be more thoroughly investigated he
left. His whereabouts had been suspected
for some little time, but Lynn officer, who
visited Davenport, was unable to learn any
thing Of him. Mr.. Lynch only succeeded
after nearly weeks planning. He was
finally arrested just as he was comming out
of church, Sunday forenoon last On being
taken into custody, he stated that he had
intended to start for the East soon, and was
merely waiting to get together sufficient
money to pay his expenses. divers father
and two brothers live in Iowa, and have afford
ed him home It is stated that he has
been in constant correspondence with par
ties in Lynn. He was arraigned in the Po-
lice Court in Salem yesterday, and held in
$4,000 for further examination next Friday,
and for want Of bail was committed.-BoS

TIE LONDON TINES ON SENATOR Stewards
SPEEcH.-The London Times has long lea
der upon Senator Stewards late speech in the
Senate, from which we extract the following:
In speech delivered BY Mr.. Seward, in
the American Senate, on the question of the
admission Of Kansas, we think that the first
dawning Of moro friendly feeling may be
discerned. Mr.. Seward is, we believe now
taken as the representative Of the Republican
party, and their candidate for the Presidency.
His opinions on the great question Of the day
have consequently an importance which it is
easy to estimate. The speech on the admis-
sion Of Kansas is able, and even eloquent; it
has apparently been accepted BY the speakers
party as true expositionssof their sentiments,
and has been replied TO by his opponents
with IN energy which ID complimentary to
its merits. That it nil tend 10 soften the
asperity which still prevails Is highly prob
able; but this effect viii not be produced by
any want Of frmness in its tone, or clearness
in its principles. Mr.. Seward is no |" trim
mer." He Is staunch anti-slavery man.
and his speech is the most forcible attack on
slavery that has been made for q long time.
But it win tend to concord, because It avoids
passion and acrimony. It may be read and
assented to by any enlightened slaye-owner !;
It win command the assent Of political econo-
mists as well as the sympathy Of the philan-
thropic and religious world.

EASTERN METHOD OF MEASURING TINE.-
The people Of the East measure time by the
length Of their shadow. Hence, If you ask
= man Whist o'clock It is, he immediately
goes into the sun, stands erect, then looking
where his shadow terminates. he measures
the length with his feet and tells you nearly
the time. Thus the work,nen earnestly de-
sire the shadow which indicates the time for
leaving their work. A person wishing To
leave his work says, !" How long my shadow
is in coming" why did you not come
sooner ?? Because waited for my shad-
ow." In the seventh chapter Of Job we find
written, = As servant earnestly desire III the
shadow etc.

WHO AASoSk VvSA HAVE
dashed the public mind into intense activity.
From this time forth, we are to have results
and not arrangements, issues and not COM
promises. The Free States insist that Sla-
very shall remain localized in the slaye-hold-
ing States and that even there, its increase,
unaided by piracy, shall only be the odds Of
the game between birth and death. With
an unalterable determination that Slavery
shall never range this continent, there lives )
hope Ga. even in its abiding places it will
wither and die. This, ..iss~cyeT, is the prayer

acre Of the Territories Is already the nghtfui

the present Court, and the reasoning which
