When I speak of "Free-Kansas-Buchanan tories ' " I do not include those who hav hith erto been Democrats and whose elect:mist:tn. ces in life ate such that they are depriied of the privilege of political intelligence. Many an honest man has been duped into the sop port of the latter end of the old Federal party, James Buchanan, by men who are in the inter. eat of the 'nigger' bliearchy—voting ag ainst Fremont and Grow—Grow, because "hevcit ell to sustain slavery in' Kansas"—Fremont, because "heis a slavehulder." Ask such me* wheiiThiWy got their in tbrmation, they reply, " In the Montrose Democrat." • If Mr. L.

How is it that it was Democratic in 184? for Judgec Tar,ey to rec ognize a colored man as a citize i, and in 1857 it is Democratic to deny his citizenship?— Tell me, what has become of those,Senators Of 1850, who pledged themselves, over - their own signatures, not to. support any man for office who was not in favor of the Comprom ises? •I wish Mr.•.L. to info] rn me how it is that he sepportii, Buchanan as a Free-Kansas man, while Wise,of yirginia,suliportS him to raise tne price of slaves, how is it that the pro- Slavery men of Kansas are the Buchanan men of that ill-fated Territory, and the Free State men are the Republicans ? How comes it that the old Whig States South, Kentucky, Tennessee, Louisiana; Florida, North Caroli na, Georgia; and Dela Ware, are row nil Bu chanan States ; and at- the same tithe . , the Democrat is States of Maine. Newllampshire, New Yorky Connecticut, Michigan, Wiscon sin and lotwa, are 'for Fremont? Ilow hap pens it that -Washington, -Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, and :Jackson, were for Congress io have -full . power over the Territories and-to' restrict Slavery therein ; as 'also were Cass, Douglas, Dickinson, Masan, Hunter, Hous ton,'"roucey, Bigler, Britihanatt =3 Piert Si t lava- no. 18521 Nowi'all - .ttkik. tam v....ft i• • "Kit . baptized into another faith, and Mr. La throp.sars.amen. -5, • Now, Mr. L., we will look at the effect of this change upon the Northern 'States, and thereby try the charge of " tory and knavish hypocrite," a then,in conclus;on,will show jus tificatio,Q for refusing connexion with thole who are or msy be informed of 'this great change in the policy of this government, and yet are the supporters of its present policy. Less than a century since,there was a government that. established laWs detriniehtal to those for whom they were made • and the subjects of those laws petitioned fur their repot! ; but instead of a repeal and a redress of grievan ces, they were subjected to greater severity, until endurance ceased to be a virtue. Then came parties, by necessity—one for the gov ernment, the other for liberty. -The former were called tories, the latter were called whips. • The contest opened, and raged.— Arguments and prayers were exhausted, and there was no other resort' to obtain the fiber ties.for which 'they prayed, than to draw the party lines and use their tnemjes as such and as traitors to the liberTies they, onee'en joyed. The contest resulted in the downfall of tyranny. Then the noble spirits of Liber i. - ty—Washington, Adams. Jefferson, Jay, Sherman, HanCoeki Gerry; Henry, and a host of others, filled with wisdom as if by inspira tion, were brought forth . to form a govern- - rrient to perpetuate the liberties - for which they had fought ,and bled. A law was tablished by those noble patriots, to prohibit Slavery in all the territories of the United State, (Constitutional,) thereby giving Free Labor the preference.; and all their success ors in office, except John C. Calhoun alone, down to 1855,,), also held to the same-policy. Even thetraitor, Arnold Douglas, in 1849, said, in a public speech, that "a hand-could not be found ruthless enough to meddle with the Missouri Compromise;'' and yet, in less than five years, tile. same'traitor consumma ted its repeal. There was democratic Frank Pierce, in 1853, said, in'his inaugural address, that "anything to agitate the question of Sla very would promptly meet his disapproval." I wish that Mr.- L. would tell Ate whether there was - anythingt done to agitate the ques tion of Slavery, and whether Frank Pierce disapproved it. Now the question 'arises, Does this great change In. policy affect the liberties of the people? If so,if . it -affects them injuriously,onght we not to treat its ald ers* abettors its enclitics to the estimon good of our country ? A man sues in the highest Court, to obtain his liberty, on the ground of all tormer deCisicms of all the Omits of the United States—the Court replies, " Men of your color have 14 rights widely vihite men ought to respect." Therenpon Rhiide ls,land Dernocracy strikes all colored voters Intim the lists ; and PenniiivaniaDemocraCy says, "Let us sell all negroes pay piir public debt." The Democratic Day Rook., of New York, sayS, "4..iet the Ltgislatore pass a law that families, (white,) becomjng so poor that. they are a public charge, shall sold to the. highest bidder, and be yfs so fonf tut they shalt live."
