.Diridins the Party,

This is the cry Of the Lansites. sgainst
all who oppose their corrupt master. Lane.
in their estimation, is the Republican
party of Kansas, and all who refuse to
follow in his train are disosgsnizers. He
may tyrsanize over our State, may subject
her to insult and disgrace ;. may prosti-
tute her best interests to advance his own
selfish ends ; yet no one must presume to
object to it, or burl him from the place he
dishonors. for be will not quietly submit
to it, and that will divide the Republi-
can party. Every other man in the State
must stand his chances. If successful.
all we'll and good but il defeated. be
must retire gracefully, and wait for his
turn again, and the party remains intact.
But not so with Lame. When no is dis

cry +" fraud." and abuse every man who
opposes their master. as striving to di-
vide the party. Wherever Lanes in
auercs extends. it is corrupting. He has
debauched the politics of the State, and
contaminated everything that has sub
mitted to contact with him-but partic.
ularly State politics. Men who aspire to
Office. no longer keep in view honesty or
capacity, but straightway unite themselves
to the fortunes of Lane, and study how
they may best promote their own interests
by doing dirty work for their leader. The
most responsible Offices and vital interests
of the State are peddled. out as so much
trading capital for Lane but the people
must grin and bear it. lest they should
divide the party. If . man should swal-
low lizzard. and feel 1t guawing bis life
away day by day. the same principle
would deter him from attempting to
throw it up BY means Of an emetic. for
fear the medicine should make him sick.
We have voted the Republican ticket
oftener than Gen. Lane has. and have
never made half 90 much fuss about it,
nor made it pay half so well. But the

Jim Lane Cowhided by . Woman!
Kansas has sgsin reason to Be proud OF
her noble and Christian Senator. The
following appears in Washington spe-
cial to the Cincinnati Gase,tc. paper that
would not stoop to manufacture false
story upon such small subject:-

Jim Lane WAS, The Other day. stacked
on the avenue with . eowhide. By = young
girl whom b had sedaeed.
The same story has reached ths public
through other thsnnels; but it appears
that the girl cowhided Lane not for Sc
ducing her. but for making an insulting
proposition. II is said that Senators
Wilson and Sumner. and others, were
witnesses Of the affair. which happened in
front of Willsrd's Hotel. In the days
when men occupied seats in the Senate.
how grand it would have sounded to have
read that Henry Clay. Daniel Webster.
1 or Thomas b. Benton had been cowhided
on the streets Of Washington. BY girl
4 whom he had ssdneed or insulted. Thus
Kansas is honorsd BY sending libertins
1 and debauche to the Senste. whose mind.
sleeping or waking. is completely absorb
ed with two cherished objects-personsl
aggrsndizement, and qualification Of his
lewd passions. Were it any other Kan
sas politician. and especially an opponcn.
of Lane, who had met with this little &C.
ciient. Kansas would have been shock
ingIy disgraced. without any farther ado
about it; but as il was the man who owns
Kansas, and carries her in bis breeches

and all his yelling pack. will now have q
new subject upon which to do the indig.

PRIKTsRs' UsIoH.-Every branch Of
trade should adopt means to protect itself.
and to secure just compensation for labor;
bot the Printers Unions have long since
got far ahead of this principal object Of
such Unions, and have become . down.
right tyrannical imposition. They not
only exact the highest wages. whether
employers can afford it or not, but they
dictate how every thing shall be conducted
in the office. They prescribe the hours
hands shall work. how copy shall be d.
vided out, how many apprentices pub
Usher may employ. what sort of hands
may work in the Office. and choose or
discharge the foreman in the Office at
pleasure. In short, they boss the Office,
and the proprietor has oply to submit to
their arbitrary rules. and pay their wages.
The proprietor is sort Of underling to
them, at the mercy of their caprices
They permit no man to work in an office
who refuses to join their league and il
their rules srs demurred to BY employers.
they endeavor to stop his work by making
strike. If any printer refuses to go
with them. frequently he is subjected to
personal violence and If their striking
does not suspend the paper. they have in
moro than one instance been known to
do some injury to the Office and the ma
chinery. The evil has become 80 un-
sufFerabls. that ths leading publishers
have been compelled. in self-deience. to
organize for the purpose Of effscting .
remedy. Several meetings have been
held, and the prospect is something will
be done to render publishers Independent
Of the arbitrary monopoly called the
Printers Union.
