For The Emporia News


Mr. EDITOR: I notice in your last issue
communication, over the signature of
Justice" copied from the Topeka Record,
advocating the claims of Emporia for the
State University, which is all very well as
far as it goes; but in regard to the state
ment of taxes returned to the Territorial
and State Treasurers by this county, there
is a possibility of misleading the public
mind. He says:
By Auditors statement of 1889, it IS
shown that Breckenridge county re-
turned taxes to the Territory to the
Now, as the Auditors Report to which
this refers was not made until January,
1861, our people may infer that it has ref
erence to the Territorial tax of 1859 and
80. But that is not the case. The amount
named in that report as being received from
this county. was for the year 1853.
The account between the Territory of
Kansas and this county. for the years 1859
snd 80, at the present time stands thus:
Breckenridge Co., Dr., to Territorial tax, $2.34004
Crb amount return ed at sundry times, ,9o4 69
Balance due. 1855 80
Again, "Justice" says:
Last year. 1861, Breckenridge county re-
turned taxes to the State, amounting to $69l.2I
Now, instead of that sum, l returned,
and have receipt for, $994.e4-nearly one
llf the amount charged this county for
B6l-the whole amount being S2.124.44
tits true that small portion of the amount
returned was a capitotion tax; but as the
object of the writer in the Record was to
compare population, wealth, DC, with Riley
cOunty-our chief competitor for the Uni
versity-totals are all that it is necessary
to give here: and if this has any influence
in locating that institution here, I am happy
TO be able to throw somewhat heavier fig
ures into the scales of Justice" aud at
the same time correct wrong impressions.

this is drawn from the National Treasury,
under the plea that it is to be used for war
purposes. When did the Government
ever so favor the poor white people? They
might starve and z" naked, but the Ad-
ministration would not think Of beStow-

buy food and clothing. There are to-day
thousands Of families in want. if we may

husbands aud sons in the army. or who
have been thrown out Of employment by
the depression of business, yet We have
not heard that tie Administration has
opened the Federal purse string to relieve
them. They are simply white people, and
the Administration disdains to be liberal
towards them. 1t bcstows all its aims
and affection upon the negro.

the first Monday of January, 1863"
The country has been plundercd by
villainous officials since the war begun.
Government officers and blood. sucking
contractors have divided the spoils.
The infamy Of their proceedings called
for rcbuke. On the I'd day of June last
law was passed providing for the pun
ishment of official dishonesty upon those
whose business it was to make contracts
for the Government. The law was in OPP
GRAFTON one month and fifteen days, and
by that time the lobby "prcsure"
brought to bear upon the Abolition Con-
gress compelled its suspension until Jan.
LIST, 1868. Thus it will be seen that the
only decent law passed at the last session
of Congress was rendered imperative for
half year by that same Congress in six
weeks from the time Of its passage.

TnE MILITARY TRAMPLING DowN THE

ism wac illustrated signalIy in the late
election farce it conducted among the Iowa
sollicrs. The right Of voting being per-
mitted to the troops from that State, a
form of election was gone through with
in their camps; but to insure a result ia
vorable to Abolitionism the officers ap-
pointed by an Abolition Governor used all
their appliances at their command to coax,
whccdlc, entrap or coerce the men into
voting the Abolition tickets, ard when all
these means failed to force the brave Dem
ocratic boys into abandoning the glorious
old party that had always stood by and
upheld them, these Abolition creatures
reSorted to the grosscst fraud and outrage.
They burned all the Democratic ballots
seNt So SOwSSnis3, refused to receive tick
cts written out in pencil, and even shut
Democratic soldiers up in the guard-house
for opposing the Abolition ticket. These
facts are testified to by Iowa soldiers in
a public card in the papers of that State.
Abolition army officers, appointed by an
Abolition Governor, refused to allow Dem.

their country. to vote the Democratic tick

WHAT A CHANGE !--Speaking of the
triumph ofthe Democracy of New York,
the Albany Argus says; ain 1861 just
one year ago, the Democratic ticket was
beaten, in this State, by the enormous
majority of one hundred and seven thou
sand votes. Encouraged by this manifes-
tation of popular approval, at a period
when the policy Of the party in power
was not clearly defined, the leaders of
the Republican majority became intoxi.
Gated with the very magnitude Of their
success, and inaugurated a reign of ter
ror and of prescription, hitherto I'M
known to our people, and undertook to
cocrce the free, intelligent and indepen-
dent citizens of the United States into
support Of measures at war with consti-
tutional rights and in violation of the
dearest and most valued privileges of
American citizens. They miSjudgcd the
people, who rose in their might and re-
buked the Administration and its ad-
herentS."

A FAcT.-In the whole history Of the
past the Democratic party has been iden-
tilted with the great leading measures
which have secured the almost uninter-
rupted happiness and prosperity which
we have been permitted to enjoy; and
we believe it now has an important work
to do, and that the people demand this
work at its hands. 1t is called upon to
maintain the Constitution and restore the
Union, and it has the wisdom and patri-
otism to do both. 1t will prove true to
its history and its mission, and the peo-
loyal, free and ineorruptible peo-
ple-are bidding it God speed.

An ENGINE AND TRAIN OF CARS THROWN
OFF TIE Track BY A BULL--THE BULL
KILLED AND THE TRAIN DESTROYED
Last week, as an engine, with twelve empty
stock cars, was coming up the North Mis-
souri, Railroad, near Florence, an infuriat
ed bull disputed its passage by getting on
the track and throwing up the dirt with
his feet, in a furious manner. The
breaks were whistled down, aud the train
STOPPED, but all to no purpose, as the
bull obstinately maintained his ground,
as if determined to dispute every inch.
The engineer started the train again,
thinking that the obstinate animal would
certainly give way to the iron horse but
in this he was mistaken. The bull low
cred his head and slowly advanced for the
contest The tain was running so slow
that instead of knocking the infatuated an
imal off the track, as it would have done
in full speed ran upon it. The conse-
qucncc was the engine and train was
thrown from the track and entirely de-
Stroycd, involving loss to the company
of between $4,000 and $4,000. ~

IT has hitherto been supposed, says a
contemporary, that the f,nd deluSion Of
an American citizen that he was entitled
to speedy trial by jury, aud to be con
frontcd with the witnesses against him,
had some Slight foundation in fact. But
the last few months Of practical abolition
ism have clfrctua,ly dissolved this extra
ordinary hallucination. The popular
mind of the United States had been for
mary years Impressed with the fallacy
that on the battle fields Of the American
Revolution were settled forever, 50 far as
this Republic was concerned, the great
questions Of personal liberty and free
speech. Practical AhO!itiunism has em-
phaticaliy gatived this abSurdity, with
n single stroke Of its august pen. a
prevalent error had long bcSct the under
standing Of ordinary Americans, to the
effect that they had Constitution which
guaranteed them protection against deS-
Pc ic rule and unlicensed power. Prac-
teal AboItionism diSsolves the illusion,
and says there is no power higher than
its mandate there is no law higher than
its will. To an Abolition Administration
belongs the distinction Of the first gigan-
tic innovation on the Constitutional
rights of man in the American Republic,
fame that will follow it like the voice Of
an eternal curse to the latest generation.

FACTS FOR TIE PEOPLE.-No candid and
intelligent man, who dismiSses party feel
ings from his mind, can say that he sees
any hope of future good to the country
under AboitioniSm, for, with unlimited
means and power, profuSely and generous
ly bestowed, it has failed in every depart
ment of the Government; and if we look
ahead We see nothing certain under its
management, except increasing debt, in
creasing taxation, State and National, aad
National disgrace and ruin. What then
is the hope, if there is any ground for
hope? 1t is to be found only in change
from Abolition Republicanism to Consti-
tutional Democracy. 1t is a fact, well
known to the student Of history, that
Democratic rule saved the country in the
war Of 1912. Democratic rule, in a few
years, relieved aud saved the country and
her tax payers from the large debt Of that
war. Democia attic rule carried the coun-
try glorously through the Mexican war,
in spite of the opposition of Lincoln, Cor
win and other leading Republicans, and
promptly wiped out the debt of that war.
Democratic rule purchased California;
priceless inheritance and the people Of
this State are indebted to that party for
their homes, peace and prosperity. These
are facts that cannot be sainsayoc, and
ought to bring to the support Of the Dem
ocratic party every man who desires the
peace, welfare and glory Of his country.
The weekly mountain Democrat. [volume] (Placerville, El Dorado County, Calif.) 1861-1862, 1862-12-13

FoLLY.-The Abolition papers Of Cali
fornia are quite jubilant over the election
of Emancipationists in Missouri. The
election was farce and was so regarded
by the legal voters of that State, who
justly refused to attend the polls. The
soldiers, from other States, and not legal
ly entitled to vote, elected the Congress
men. Fewer votes were polled in the
city of st. Louis than were polled in Sac
ramento at the last election. Less than
five thousand votes, out Of a voting pop
ulation of forty thousand, is significant,
and explains the victory of the Emanci-
pationists. Why don't the persistent and
rcm"rscless liars Of the Union occasionally
tell the truth? Would they forfeit their
contract with the Administration by do
ing so? To what depth of degradation
are the craven and mcrcenary wretches
reduced They dare not publish the
TRUTH

GLoRIors FREEDoM!-Judge Scmplc
Orr, an old, eStimable patriotic citizen of
Missouri, was lately arrested at Jefferson
City, in that State, for the delivery of a
speech in which he declared the procla.
nation Of President Lincoln to liberate
the slaves, was unwise, impolitic and I'm.
called for, and because he expressed
doubts Of the ability of the Administra
ton to carry out, lawfully, the provisions
of the proclamation 1t is treason to
question the wisdom of our servants.
Blind obedience to their orders--cordal
approval Of their measures, however ar
bitrary and mischevious they may be,
they demand, and he who refuses to yield
implicit obedience to their cdicts or con
dennis their measures, is denounced as
traitor and incarccrated in Bastie |!
Is this tho United States of America, the
land Of Washington and Jefferson, or is it
Naples? Was it for this the patriots of
the Revolution made innumcrablc sacri-
fees?

TIE ISSUE. The true issue before the
people is the question of emancipation
The Administ; alton is committed to the
policy of freeing all the slaves at the ex-
pense of the laboring classes, and the peo-
pie are called upon to say yes or no to
this policy, Those who believe as did
Stephen A. Douglass "that this Govern
ment was made on the white basis, by
white men, for the benefit of white men
and their posterity forever" will take
their stand against Mr.. Lincoln's Negro
Emancipation Proclamation those who
have more sympathy and respect for the
black than the white race, will sustain it.
The issue is before the people, and on
their decision depends the elevation or
of the white race.
