Isla week, owing to our not receiving a sup
of paper from the manufacturer. The
Mills are undergOing repairs, and a letter in

this means we were unable to procure the

.for.our issue:
di' We publish on 41tr first page, tl.e
admirable • address of Senator Douglas to
the citizens of Springfield, Illinois. The
questions discussed are it4rtant i and a cor
rect understanding. - of them desirable. We
especially commend that portion of the nal
dress which treats of the Dred Scott decision,
to the attentive consideration of our\ readers.
ZEr Now is the time to seepte (me o f Leek
'Marsh's Topographical Maps of this county.
It is one of the Most useful as well as orna
mental maps that has ever been presented to
this county.
Mr. Marsh informs as that he intends to
gisre•every resident of the county an opportu-
It;ty of securing one or more, before publica
tion. No one will be able to obtain -them
except those who give, in their names before
that time We would recommend it to all
our.friend4 and hope that no one will \ fail to
give in Weir names, when they have an op
portunity, for if sufficient encouragement is -
Inot given the enterprise will 'be 'abandoned.
'We have seen maps of other counties which
they publishedl they are equal in execution
to any we ever saw, and $5,00 for a map of
that description, we think very reasonable.
Opposition to Gov. Walker.
The abolitionist and the "fire eater" unite
in condemning Gov. Walker, together with
the pacific and eminently fair policy, which
he as the agent of the National Administra
tion, is endeavoring to enforce in Kamm—
It is to be regretted that the extremists of
-I)Otra sections evince n disposition to misrep
resent and frown neon any movement hating
for its object the pacification of that Tenho
rfr. and the establishment therein of such in
stitutions'as the majority of its !lethal inhab
itants desire. The late speech of Senator
Trambull of tllinois, at Springfield, may be
taken as an exposition of the views of the
abolition agitators with reference to Mr. Bu
chanan's -Kansas policy ; and ihe letter of
13on. L. M. Keitt of South Corlinia, to the
.editor of the . Plclonomi Examiner, probably
affords a fair illustration of the spirit which
animates the'" fire eaters" and inidtKes them
to join their abolition foes, in denouncing
Got. Widter and the policy of which be is
the official representative. Proper reflection
and investigation will at once satisfy the in
telligent and fair minded portion of our fel
/Ow citizens of both the free and slave States,,
that the bitter denunciation _of Walker, in
which these factions indulge, is not only
wholly uncalled for, but plainly unjust and
resorted to for ,a wioked purpose. It is one.
of the weapons of th'e agitator—that nuisance I
in American politics, subsisting on discord
and aiming to overthrow the government I
which ;. protects him. The pacification of I
Kansas annihilates the opposition to Deinoo
racy; hence the anxiety of the leaders of
that opposition to erabarass the Administra
tion in its effotts to secure to the people of
that Territory the free exercise of their self
government tight. Gov. Walker as the or
gan of the Federal Government, proclaimed .
to the people of-Kansas, at Topeka, that they
should have an opportunity to vole upon the
Constitution to be prepared by the Conven
tion elected in June. That they should
enjoy tinmolested the privile7e,which the pr- ;
gunk act promised them, of determining for
themselves at \he ballot box, whether they
would establish or reject slavery. This is
the doctrine for which the Democratic party
battled in the last canvass ; a doctrine rati
fied by the voters of the Republic, Nor. 4,
/BA and clearly stated and ably defended
in Mr. Buchanan's Inaugural address. •
It stands approved by the American r.eo
-- ple,aud to question its utility, is to quarrel
with their verdict, .deliberately rendered.:--
Why, then, when the Administration through
its agent and in-obedience to the popular will,
avows its deterMination to vindicate that ver

iernmeat (republican in form) as her people
shall choose, do the malcontents vita) , that

would have been impolitic and useless for the
Free State men to have participated in the
Election for delegates to the constitutional
convention; impolitic because by so doing.
they would recognize the validity of the acts
of. the. Territorial Legisleure; useless, be
cause, he asserts, that the registry was itn
pe,rfect and inconipletg, and.did not contain
fair,proportion of Free State voters. The
first objection is merely technical, and' comes
with bad grace from the allies of those who
have ftequently recognized the legality and
authority of that Legislature. The second,
or the assertion that the registry was .incom
plete, should not be made by those who did,
all in their 'power toprevent a perfect and
complete registry. It is well known - that
the unprincipled 'leaders of the ‘l.Pree State
party," threw all the obstacles they. could in.
the way of the officers appointed under the
registration act ; and that in consequence of
this, those officers, though disposed to act
and to impartially discharge the duty
devolved upon them, were unable to .obtain a
full list of the v3ter's names. The provisions
of the reg,istratiodlaw, were eminently fair
and just, affording Iftmudant opportunity to
the voter whose nettle should be omitted
from the list, intrdvertntly or otherwise, to
procure its insertion thereon. But this oh
jectien because of
, an imperfect registry, can
not be used as an - excuse for refusing to vote
for or against the constitution when* it is
submitted to the whole people of "Kansas, for
their adoption : or rejection. Walker's. prop
osition is to submit the constitution when
formed, to a vote of the actual residents of
the Territory, whether their names are reg;s
tcred or not ; and invites them all to partici
ipate in that Election. This invitation Trum
bull is pleased ti' designate as insolent and
the height of effrontery _ ! Whv,lie thus char.

neglects to produce his reasons. June 29th
the Northern abolitionist abuses the admin
istration for its pro-slavery tendencies as de. ,
veloped in its Kansas policy, and June 30th.
the pro slavery secessionist, curses the same
policy as certain -to bring Kansas into the
Union as a free State. The hostility which
the extremists of both sections evince toward
that policy is the best evidence of its wisdom,
its impartiality andjustice.

Frazier--Wittnot's meanest Pura
site---pants for Notoriety.
Fre: - .icr of the Republican, after thorough
self-ezamination very properly concludes that
the term sneaking creature" affords a per
and comprebensividagoerreotype of him
self ; Whereupon he s l uirts. his filth at tLe
senior editor of the Democrat whom he des-
'pates as." mean, miserable, degraded, pot
valiant, tipsy and drunken." As' it matters
very little &tether Frazier thinks ns n
viinelibbcr _and a glutton., or a ,tee-totaller
and a vegetarian, we shall permit 'this pro
' fessional blackguard and falsifier to twaddle,
on that subject unmolested let iritn wallow
in that slough of infamy to which an intelli
gent' public , opition, always honorable and
1. just, is certain to consign the slanderer; the
pitiable wretch who obserru , not the common
civilities and decencies of life. It has been
truly and forcibly said that,
"There's not a baser fiend in hell,
Nor is there one who can
Perform the Devil's work so well
As that d..:Tenerate man,
j i Who carries venom on his tongue
And malice in his heart.,
With bow of hatred erer sprung
To speed the poisoned Bait."
With such a character we shall not have a
protracted personal controversy ; we have no
disposition to keep continually paraded be
fore the public; the vulgar attrikutes and
beastly affinities of him whose petty larceny
pbiz untnistakably indicates the back-biter
and the sneak.' Besides we are not ambitious
of the nototiety of - the blackgvard, falsifier
and slanderer ; nor do we intend to merit. it.
We bare never considered it any part of our
duty as Journalists to assail the private char
acter of the citizen whose political views con
flict with .our own; in order to derogate from
his influence 'and make him odious' in the
community; and our readers will witness
that re bare never indulged in low, passion
ate abuse of any one. Oar consistent and earnestl
advocacy of national principles seems however
to have exasperated the hireling who cannot
properly respond to our arguments ; and
hence his effort to tempt us into a personal
controversy With him. Ile must be: badly
afflicted with vanity , to imagine . P.n. a MO
meta that he can force us to neglect the le
.giiimate duties of our Profession and descend
into that field of malice and defamation in
which he feeds and tatters. Equally in er
/ tor is lir. Wilmot if he fancies that the yelp
ing of his editorial env will prevent as from
exposing the imperfections, the inconsisten
cies and -hypocrisy which have characterized
1 his own career and stamped him as the most
unscrupulous and selfish of demagogues.—
The mean and unprovoked personal assault
to which "allusion was made at thebeginting
of this articie„is not, properly chargable -to
such an irritable compund of deprarity,ma-
levolence and stupidity, such a mercenary
imbecile, and truckling sycophant as the sal;
low-visaged Frazier ; but rather to those who
employ and direct him, and hope to be prof
ited by his filthy fulminations. Of that„spe
cies David Wilmot is the chief. Whenever .
he conceives it necessary to destroy the repu
tution of a citizen, in order to prop rip his
declining fortunes, he issues his edict to the
sheepish iMitatioriof manhood confined in
the Old. Register office, and a column of slov
enly vituperation in which lurks the spirit of
the assassin,ii forthwith %relied at the object
lof his aversion.. Cart it be possible that the

badched and self-polluted natured But we
are threatened with " harsh treatment" if we
refuse to make courteous and respectful men
tion of the , leCherous sneak employed to ma
lign us. This we cannot do consistently with
our convictions of right and duty; there
fore the threat must pass unheeded, and
we must continue to consult the literal mean
ing of the people's English in its application
to our fractious cotemporary. No doubt the
reptilcilhought to intimidate us and shield
his master; as if his poisonous . diatribes had
power to frighten a democratic journalist
1 from the discharge of his duty to the public!
We anticipated thathe Would eject his Venom
Est us as soon as he had exhausted "bleeding

sista on scurrility;atid when be has no imagine -1
ry monster at which to hurl the concoctions of';
his impotent malice, he must satiate his ap

his neighbers. Physically, morally and
mentally rotten ; superstitions, bigoted and
miserly, cowardly, malignant, and only res
t cued from idiocy by a surplus of lechery
1 this "sneaking creature" lives to be loathed
and rejoices in the infamy which ho richly
deserves. Ile isthe fit servant of a libidinous
master, and Wilniot's sagacity as evinced in
the selection of the mongrel for the perform
ance of his dirty work, stands unimpeachod.
We hav'ecarefully refrained from any allusion
to the petty meannoses and grossly vulgar
antics which have charactbrized the course of
this hired , defamer; and merely adierted
to those peculiarities of the wretch which
are patent to the public eye. Ile may con
tinue to falsify-=-to misrepresent . our conduct
1 e and motives and seek to deg r ade us in the
1 estimation of our fellow-citizens; but we
give due notice that we shall not hereafter
respond to his iillanious attacks, unless we
become convinced that the public good—the
interests of. the corninurrity in which we re
i side—demand a full exposure of his infamous
1
practices; inr Which case, much as we detest
personal-controversies, we shall perform our
duty fearlessly, and trendy remind him of his
errors. It tbust not be supposed, however,
that in that case we shall limit our criticisms
to the character of the agent. The singularly
virtuous and trmpera le (?) men who employ
the traducer and pay him in proportion to the
skill be displays in his unenviable profession,
must-tome in for a handsome share of the
glory. J. B. M.
.IMr" The Plahniephia Daily Xezes of July
10th says that Wilmot "without any particu
lar moral conviction on the.suyert, but think
iny that political capital may be mac'‹ out
of it, is taking great pains in a YI:At:TICAL
tray to &ail!, those opposed to the Maine ,
i Laum, that he is no arc-totaller." Of the
1 truth of this statement those acquainted v..ith
Wiltuot, kill have no doubt. Yet the 113'.po

Jar The Berks County - Prat, one •cf the
papers that calls the Wilmot State Ticket,
" Union American Ticket," says that Davy's I
Americanism " cannot be questioned," and
that he expr&sed the following sentiment_ Co
an interlocutor; "I am an American, I do
not fear to proclaim it to the world. I fear
God, and other fear have I none." Why don't
he " proclaim" such things here about home 'l l
The assertion that he fears God will be doubt

that "a partizan press ; for partizan purposes
is laboring to crush it because it cannot be

with energy and ability. On his retirertrent

of this State Although - decidedly opposed
at that time td the free soil and Wilmot pro

- union of the party as essential to succ,ess,and
therefore.became separated from many of his

-Mr. Marcy was contemplating a 'Visit to
Europe in August, it is believed on some int-.
portant financial business ; but the ha 'd of
the inexorable -tyrant, Death, ha. put n end
forever to all his schemes, politic a d &tan=
cial. •
Mr. Marcy paid a visit a few weeks ago to
the s.:ens of his early career (Troy), where
he enjoyed a pleasant reunion with the friends
of his coact—Hun. Thomas It Carroll, llon.
Thomas Clowes, and Jacob Lane, his former
law partner. Their conversation was lively
and full of anecdotal matter, referring to the
early events of our political history, when the
strife between the republicami and federalists
was bitter in the extreme. Mr.. Marcy spoke
in wads of high admiration of the success
that had waited upon Cen. Wool's honorable 1
career of military etinrt in the service 'of, his
country, and added, that shortly after Wool,
who was formerly a dry- goods merchant hi
TroV ; was burned out, he turned his attention
the study of the law, bit finding- that his
early education wits unequal to the task of a
seven years course of legal study, he deter-
Mined to abandon it. Meeting Marcy one
morning, Wool observed to him that he pro
posed giving up the law, and. asked • his ad
vice. The Governor advised the future gen
eral to apply for a commission in Ate army
of twentv-tive thousand men that was then
about being raised to prosectite thrwur . lBl.2.
Wool ithmediately procured this requisite
recommendations and was.made-a captain in
One.of the regiments.
t It was rermarkel as being somewhat sinen
lar that two men commencing so slenderly
in life, in Jim same town, should cotempora
neowly rise to eminent public position in the
service of the nation.
The ex-Secretary told a story of old James
Dole, Who, in the early days, was, -the very
head-and front of the federalists here; who as
sorted that he alwayabrid bis hand upon- his
pocket-book when he passed by a democrat.
The story illustrates the depth and bitterness
of party rancor. John Woodworth, one of
the early settlers ofTroy, and a prominent
republican, had endorsed a note for a certain
party, to pay for -Pennsylvania lands, 'and
therefore became liable. He found necessary
to protect himself, from the fact-thatan alle
gation of fraud in the sale of the. *lands was
made. An injunction was obtained, and dis
missed by the-court in . New York,:and.a writ
of ad evicts eatisfaticaduta was taken out : 1
unbeknown to Woodworthfor the sum of
fourteen hundred dollars. Sheriff Dole sotight
to serve the writ upon Woodworth on a Sat- ,
urday -night, supposing that, he Would not
have that amount of money about him, and
thinking that he would -have . no means of
raisin it at that late and Unseasonable hour.
