to our posterity, and to the friends Of
constitutional liberty and self:govern-

applause.)
Three years ago the Territory of
Kansas was in Il state of revolution.
The government sent out troops to en-
force the Jaws and compel obedience to
to the Constitution. A similar state
of things existed there as now exists
in the South, only not as formidable.
The Democratic party then were no
more unanimous than now in favor
of sustaining the administration. Can
any body inform us of Republican
paper or prominent republican
that then thought it duty to sustain
the government, and enforce the laws?
Or can they show US one of either
prominently before the people then
that did not shrek slavery" slavery"
sthc slave power" "thc slave power,'
'freedom," ''frcedom." Freedom for
whom, forsooth ? Were not all ,chite
men free then, as how! We like their
patriotism, but consider it rather
newly fcascd to extort from those who
have always supported the Constitution
and the Union devotional considera-
ton or respect.
The motto of the Republican party
now is; mot star from the star SPAN
gled banner" We are proud that it is
so; for that has ever been the motto of
Democrats. After battling their way
to power under a banner of sixteen
stars, and after having driven eight
States out of the Union by their hostil-
ity thus in part manifested against
them ana their institutions, the Repub
leans like the Democrats wish to re-
tain the 81 stars on our national BAN
ner. But how? as equal sovereign
States in the Union, or as subjugated
provinces, and with slavery extinguish
ed!
The DEBORAH Republic approving
ly gives the particulars of an assault
upon an old gentleman by the name of
Tucker, for expressing what every man
knows to be true in regard to the causes
Of the present war. During the late war
with Mexico the editor of that paper
was giving laid and comfort" to the
Mexicans by sympathising with them
andopenly espousing their cause, and
so in the late Kansas rebellion, duty
and patriotism never once intimated to
him THAT he had a government to sup
port. Yet during all his treason to the
government he shouted for "free soil,
free speech, a free press, and free Mig
gers" He and his party promised
that if Lincoln was elected, oil would
be poured upon the troubled waters,
Of American politics, but instead it
promises to be rivers of blood. What
prophets what patriots +! what con.
sistent politicians J.! What pure and
undefiled christians!
'The talented Representative of
Howard Co.," contrary to general ex-
pectation did not receive his commission
as P. NJ. Reason: did not know how
to fill his bond and acceptance correctly.
His name is David D.
We are informed that a. m.

that a company of 60 men are Or
gained in this County to hang Sc

among them our humble self. We
don't think this can be so, still per-

he be required to commit to mem
