THERL.Uk REPI Bl.lt ANS AT THEIR
01.1) TRICKS.
LEjtvrr. T of, Chairman of the Black Re
j lit an "-'ate Ccmxitlw for this state (and
who was last Fall an active supporter of tlie
Black Republican Wiimot) in conjunction
with several other unscrupulous politicians, has
invented a plan by which the Hazßhurst men
and "Straight Americans*' are to be seduced
i •
into the foul embrace oi Black Republicanism.
Those who remember the "Union Ticket" I.um
lug cf 1556, by which Fillmore was to be
cheated out ol the electoral vote of Pennsylva
nia, will not be astonished to bear of this new
scheme of Slk. Torn anil lis coadjutors. [t is
the same "Union Ticket" plot over again, and
at the bottom of it are the same knavish dema
gogues that contrived Hat notorious swindle, j
It any one doubts this, let him but look at the"!
call lor a State Convention lately issued by Tour
& Co., \v iiich nay be seen by reference to the
columns of the Bedford Abolition organ (the
same sheet that assisted Mr.. Toon and other
Fremonters, in their endeavors to sell out the
Fillmore men tor the benefit of Fremont). He
will there see enough to convince him that our '
assertions are based on good foundations. For
instance, the call starts out with a dictatorial
recommendation from the "Trot-J .American.,
-nti uDUb.'IN dnu'"People's Committee of
Superintendence for the city ol Philadelphia.'*
This "Union" committee makes the proposition
tor a coalition of the "Straight Americans'"
with the Black Republicans. It is not a
proposition of a "Straight American" Committee
but of a"I nion " Committee in which there is
a strong haven of Black Republicanism. Just
v.as it in ISSG. The Fremont "Union
Electoral Ticket" men made the proposal to
the Fillmore men for a "Union." The sugges
tion for a fu. icn ticket invariably came, as it
comes now, from the Black Republican side.
That v iug of the Opposition was always desi
rous of a combination with the ''Straight Ameri
cans,'' lot in that lay its only hope of success. It
had nothing to far, either, from the •'Straights,*' >
in the di\ ision of the spoils, as owing to its great
superiority in numerical strength, it could easily j
appropriate to itself the lion's share. Its wire- j
workers are still animated with the desire to j
effect such a combination and hence the move- j
tr.i nt o! TODD A Co.
If there were no oilier evidence that the j
Philadelphia "Union" recommendation email- j
airs fiom Black Republican hands, the very fact j
that t!w signature of Goo. A. Coffev is appen- '
ded to it, would be sufficient to brand it as j
having sprung from Woolly-head sources. !
Corruv is a rampant Black Republican and has i
always been one of the bitterest and most !
uncompromising enemies of the "Straight A
tnericans" and their candidates. For iiinstra- j
lion of this fact, see his indecent and outiageous
attack cn Bit-urn Swoote, as puhli.dwd last Fall ;
in the Bedford Abolition organ.
Another Black Republican fiature in the
Philadelphia recommendation, is that it refers
"especially" to "the despotic and fraudulent i
Lecomplon policy ol the .National Administra- j
tmn." It does not refer especially to tfie doc-j
tlines of the "Straight Americans." Oh ! no.
lis Black Republican authors deemed it suffi
cient to generalize when it came to those j but i
look out when "Bleeding Kansas" comes in for
its share ! Especial reference must be had to
that hobby. The negro must be indicated
unmistakably. The Abolition plank must be
I road and conspicuous in the "Union" plat
form.
Thus, it will be seen that (he movement of
Todd & Co., is a Black Republican trick and
nothing else—just as the Fremont Union Elec
toia! Ticket was in 1856. Who will be decei
ved try it T
ITThe Abolition newspapeis are trying to
make people believe that the new Militia Law
was a D< mociatic measure. This is just like
their elicit to saddle tin Usury Law on the
Democrats. Like all thieves they cry "slop i
thiel most lustilv. Let the people examine 1
tor themselves and see whether the Abolition
nt.s did not support this Militia Law.
SIGNIFICANT-
The great money panic which last Fail orns
slraled the business ol the country, had its
origin in the failure ol the Ohio Trust Compa
ny, an institution located m a Black Republi
can State. The first failure since the resump
tion of specie payments by (ho banks, was that
of the American Bank, of Baltimore, which,
collapsed a few days ago, and which had been
gotten up under the auspices of Know Nothing
ism. These are facts of peculiar significance,
and serve to show the dangerous tendencies of
Opposition legislation.
THE "MULATTO" PARTY.
The Pmnsylvanian christens the proposed
• rig! meiation of the opposition factions, the

aptly the complexion of the new arrangement

"'The Abolition organ is completely dumb*
; undid by the result of the late election in
Wus ; n Citv. It fearsthat it will have a
bad f fleet upon the prospect of the "Aiuiattoes"
and, then i re. it trits to misrepresent the tacts
connected with that election. It says that the
Democrats carried Washington City, last vear
•' - j
and, consequently, the success of the Democrat
ic candidates, at the last election, should not be
considered a victory. Now, the fact is, that
!a.-t y>ar the Democratic candidate tor Mayor
had but 32 nay uity, whilst this year the Dem
ocratic majority is 571, a gain in one year of
over 500 votes. The moral of this Washington
election is, that tlie people who voted thereat
had heard a lull discussion of all the great politi
cal questions that weie agitated in Congress,
especially the Lecompton question, an.! that
after hearing both sides they made up their
verdict in favor of "Old Buck" and the uncon
querable Democracy. Huzza for the Capital

AN ECONOMICAL CONGRESS.
The session of Congress which has just
terminated, is remarkable as having inaugnra
ted a new era io the history of our Fideiai
legislation. The representatives of the people
seem for once to have partially lost sight o( their
own interests and to have looked with a watch
ful eye to those ol their constituents. Tlie
reason of this is plain enough: flare icas a Demo
cratic majority in both Houses of Congress.
I A correspondent of the Philadelphia .'lrpus,
rites on this subject as follows :
Another such session as that which has just
closed and the lobby system in Congress is
annihilated. Just think of if, not a solitary
railioad grant 1 Not a single patent extension !
Not one new nail steamer gratuity voted!
Not one book ordered to be printed for the use
of Congress 1 Nothing but desolation and blank
dismay staring out of tlie eyes of the few vul
tures and cormorants who remained there to the
last, in the hope of a little bit o! a windfall, in
the closing hours of the session. But no veir.d

drawn faces, they at length yielded to destiny, 1
; and helped to swell the ranks of the n treating
army from this now deseited citv.
If the first session of Congress under the
administration of Mr. Buchanan were remem
bered in after years for nothing else than tor the
annihilation of the corrupt and corrupting sys
tem of lobby agency, that single event will
make it remembered, for i'. is fa be hoped that
it has inaugurated an era of public honesty and
Congress i ma I respectability.
Tite causes of this wonderful and most desiia
ble change were manifold. The Administra
tion was known to be determinedly hos'ile t
the corrupt associat ion of public plunderers : the
treasury was depleted, and economy was impo
sed by absolute necessity. The Speaker, Col.'
Orr, had learned all the hiii.ftn springs and
sources of the organizaiirn while he was chair
man of the Investigating Committee with Cer
: nish, Malteson and Fellows, add knew how
: to guard against it.
The new hall of tfie House of Representa
i I'vts was so devised as to shut out all outsiders
! from personal communion with the members
• during the hours of business, and there had I
I grown up a readiness to raise committees of
I investigation on the slightest pretences, which i
iof itself acted as a wholesome terror. *~A |i these
causes, and perhaps others, combined to pro- j
; duce a result at which the country has reason
to rejoice.

j tion the black Republican organ finds a fit and :

Upon a eritical examination of tln* Critter
den-Monfgomery bill for the admission of Kar
?3s a? a State into this Union it w ill be four),
that the declarations in the preamble, v\iik
was unanimously voted lor by the Black R
i üblicans, not only fully endorse the L*comf
ton constitution, but also sustain the posiM
taken by the President in his Kansas Messaj;'
The preamble reads thus:
"Whereas the people of the Territory <>f Kai

assembled at Lecompton on the 4th day o! S. ]

stives a constitution and Stale govermuer
which said constitution is republican, and sa
convention having asked the admission of sa
Territory into the In ion as a State on an ecju
footing with the original States—"
Now by turning to the President's messa<
it will be seen, that after giving a truthful ar
unvarnished history of a flairs in Kansas do
to the formation of the Lecori plotr constitute,
he says;
"The people of Kansas have, then, "in tbl

organic ac t. !; an <1 a con dilution and State g.e

ti not slavery to tl.t people, and have elect

ow n part, I am decidedly in favor ot i'-a lmi
si' n, and tb a terminating tiie Kansas questioi
I his will carry out the great question of nor

in favor of "non-intervention bv Congress wit
slavery in the States or T> rritori. leavin
"the people thereof perfectly iree to form an

The President declares that the people c

therefore should be adrnitl'd as a sovereig
State. The Black Republicans declare th
sam- thing, but after they vote f. r the adrni
sion they stultify themselves b\ inserting i
their bili a requirement which i 5 t dally incon

"The Thirty-fifth Congress has been one o
the most eventful in our history, it opener

or to the stirring details which led on to oneoi
thebrtieresi anrr most relentless controversies

end in an early pacification of the actual
troubles existing in Kansas, and forever rem we
from the halls of Congress the question of sla

lb* great object oi Mr, Buchanan to get rid oi
a fruitless cause of quarrel between the tuo
great sections of the Inion; and it can hardly be
questioned t hat he was honest and patriotic in
tile conviction t..at trie passage of the measure
proposed would lead to that result. Such at ail
events were his views and intentions; and we
leave it to the country /tow to testify t u tiieir
wisdom and forecast, fie met the issue under
trying and discouraging circumstances, and in
the midst of threats, derision and prophecy of
civil war, if ins measures should become the law

upon the announcement of ,-uccess came (..kens
of universal peace, satisfaction and domestic
tranquility.
i ne people of Utah combined, under the lead
of mischievous men, to throw of! their obliga

selves an independent existence. The rebel

was a powerful defence, and if the President
would see that the laws be executed, he could
accomplish his patriotic purposes only bv em
ploying a large force at great expense. lie

have been a source of great satisfaction to him
to be able to announce to Congress, before its
adjournment, the complete success of the mea
sures he adopted to put down the rebellion in
Utah, and again to put in full force in that Ter
ritory the laws of the United States.

Tlir Last Kansas Onlrage.
1 ..!• New Va :k Herald asks why the anti
.- ,iv. ry organ- do not throw themselves into fits
id in.:i-j nation against the most recent Kansas
outrage? Jim Line, an anti-slavery partisan,
the other day coolly shot down and murdered
Jenkins, another anti-slavery partisan, who
j wanted to exercise the right of taking a drink
oi water from a disputed spring. Immediately
Jenkins' friend fir. d on Lane and wounded
him, and he is also Iv ing at the point of death.
As almost all the border-ruffians have departed
| from Kansas, the anti-sfavery men must, it ap
p ar-, inuidt r each other to keep their hands in.
\\ by don't the anti-slavery organs make a fuss,
collect subscriptions and iorm a fund to aid
them in this laudable purpose ? A short time
since we told the anti-slavery men that they
would confer a great benefit on the world by
: killing each otiier, and it seems that they are
now coulially acting upon our advice.
The Herald is in error in stating that this
tuffian leader of the Abolitionist party is lying
at the jioint of death. So far from it, that it
appears from the Leavenworth correspondent
oi the St. Louis Republican , that lie is only
nominally even under arrest, and is walking
about the streets a "free" state man in every
s*>nse of the word, not having had even an
examination before a judicial tribunal. Here
is a specimen of law and order of the sublimest
description. The correspondent says :
"From Lawrence I have received a commu-

Line taken into cu-t !y. Ms. Jenkins was
nearly crazed at the fearful intelligence of the

character, and his loss will be deeply regretted.
