ever offered in that church for the success of
the Democratic party and its nominees,
though hundred of prayers and exhortations
had been made against that isarty. When
the old man finished there was a silence for
half an hour and the meeting then adjourned.

that church. From that time forward are

This was placed in the hands of United States
Deputy Marshal Little, who, with Captain
Anderson and - twenty men of his company as
a posse, proceeded to arrest them. They
came in sight of them about eight miles from
this place, on the high prairie, and ttursued
them about one and a half wile., to timber.
They then took their position in a place which
it - was dtibgerous to approabh. They waited
until the Marshal's party reached within a

said, they fired upon the advancing party,end

slightly, and shooting his horse iii three
places--killing one of the s 4dient and one
horse, and wounding a -thied bore. The
troops were only armed with pistols and
sabres, but they wounded. three of the banditti.
A e4rge could not be made upon them, 'as
there was a creek with high banks between
the parties. The Marshal's: party then fell
back, and send a messenger rifler more men
and guns, but before they arrived, the rob

The Black Republicans' and. the
Admission of new States.
The admission or rejection of new States,
with the Democratic party, depends upon the
single point, the Republican character of the
(,constitution each may present, when appli
cation' \ for admission it made. The Black
Republicans, however, set up different testa.
They make the demircratic ins•itutions of a
people the pretext for denying them aimis
sion into the sisterhood of states. This doe ,.
Trine was plainly promulgated by Senator
lisle during the discussion of the application
of Minnesota. who declared that be would
not take Minnesota now, or at .any caber
time,so long as the Constitution of that State
contained a provision on the Subject of color
, ed people which did - not suit his peculiar
notions-as to equality of the races. This
N .
same position was assumed by other Black
Republican Senators, though the reasons
given may nut be exiled, similar. All, how
ever agree, in ignoring the one requisite point:
ed out in the Constitution, and each set up
some standard by which to try each case that
may be presenrel With one, the
. objecrion
.is that colored men are not allowed all the
rights an& priviliges of white citizens; an
other oljects to the admission of any more
Slave B:wesinto the Union; a tbird repudi
roes a State because her Constitution admits
those foreigners to vote who declare an Wert
t inn to become citizi-ns • of the United Slates;
and others have equally fanciful and unsatis
fric!ory reasons to justify their course before
the country. •
The jticonsi=tent and ridiculous pc:I:Ilion:in
which such• conirary reasons for _doing the
same thing, planes the opposition party be.
fore the nation, ha= not escaped the attention
of ail New York Times. -In alluding to the
debate on the bill for,admittina Minnesota,
that journal says :
'I here is a-feature in the current debates wor
ty of s ttention. AVhile the Kansas question was
pending, it was constantly asserted that the
Southern party wotqa resist the admission of any
free State. until Kansas should come in as a
slave-State. The question of admitting Kansas
has been referred to the people ; and now the
principal opposition to the admission of two new
free States comes from the free State members,
or those, who acted with them on the Kansas
question. In the• Senate the opposition comes
mainly from the Republicanssand in the House
it is said a strong efilirt is making to unite the
South Americans and Republicans against Min
nesota. The party
.hearings of the question
would probably explain this singular fact.
The Times has fairly stated a portion of
the truth, but not all. It is true that the
Black Republicans assessed in the meat posi
' tire manner "that the Southern party would
resist the admission of any Nfree States until
Kansas should come in as a slave Sltte," hit:
that is nut all they asserted on the same sub
jee.t. The same men also stated than was
the intention of the_Southetu party to vo'e
against the admission of any more free States
into the Union, without reference stall to the
manner in which the Kansas question should
terminate. Yet, what are the facts ! Be
fore even Kansas is admitted, we find the
Southern party voting for the admi-=ion of
Minnesota as a free State, and contending
against the Black Reiiublicans, who opposed
it on all kinds of pretexts, but really because
the Democratic party are in the ascendant
and have control of a new Statue. The
Southern party base their action upon the
Constitution of the• United States., They
limit their inquiries to the point stated in
that in t trutnent, is the Constitution presented
by"the State applying republican bolts char
acler and .provisions, and when that tact is
ascertained they vote for the admission of the
State. This rule is a tale one. It lies law
and precedent in its favor. But the opposite
course pursuet by the PIRA Republicans is
dangerous in all its aspects. It tramples - on
the clear meaning. of the constitution of the'
United States; substitutes the Changing ;and
uncertain notions of a sectional political par
ty, for the sine, logical and patriotic action.
of a body controlled by law and mason, and
if carried out would make the admission of
each State depend alone upon the political
complexion L of the National Legi-lature and
that of the Congress by which the case shall.
be determined. Such a plan is calculated to
' alienate the different sections of the Union,
and hence the party that adopts it is justly
chargeable with all the evil cons.equbnces
flowing from its being put in execution.
But look at the other fact in connection
with the action of the Black Republietid par
ty in their recent attempt to prevent the ad
missitna of Minnesota. It is well known that
the leaders cif that party object .to all State
Constitutions which do not allow the coloied
race full equality-wkib the whiles..ind that
the latest Constitution. for Kamm, adopt- .
ed by the Ariti-Slavery agitators at Leaven
worth admits the black men tp vote by the
side of the white freemen- of that State or
Territory.. But while the Black Republicans'
ate thus-willing that negrtte shall vote, in
the face of the fact that the Supreme' Court
of the United States loot decided-, that. they
are. Dot, and eaunot beciime citizens of the
United Stites, they object to the admission of
Minnesota because, they eay, the Constitution
of that State admits those foteignenito vote
who declare aw intention' to become citizens

vote in open defiance of the Constitution and
the'decision bf the Supreme Court, but if be
,be White, and did- not happen to be born • on
the soil, thew ultra defenders of freedom are
for excluding him Flom all participation in
those primary proceedings which are to shape
and mr , uld the constitutions atO laws of the
young o,tates of the West and all other sec- i
tions of the Union. This is Black Itiaibli
can consistency—this their idea of frevslom
this their platrfOr "elevating' the condition of
white laborers in the West, which they pro
claim with so much . vehemence in all their
election harangues.
It is evident that the application of either
or both of these restrictions to the admission
of new Slates would -be attended with the
most disastrous consequences. - If Congress
has a right to interfere with the domestic in
stitutions of a people, to say -what character
of institutilins shall entitle a - State to admis
sion into the Union, what exclude it, then a
mere - Political ninjolity will at-all times over:
ride the Constitution, and perpetuate its pow
er by refusing admission to State; whose rep
resentatives are Oppo‘d to their political ideas
and opinions. Ag eii negroes are to:vote
at the primary elections in the Territories, and
Ithe honest, intelligent emigrant. is to be de.
'barred (torn that. privilege, though he may
own and cultivate hundreds of acres of the
soil, and thus have the deepest interest in the
estibli.hment of a good government, the ef t
feet will be to hinder entigration,_and throw
the rule of the Territories into the -bands' of
worthless white men aud s vsgaboird negmis,
who have no, reasons to wish that law and
order shall rule instead of riot and turbulence.
While suet). would be the inevitable results
flowing from the adoption of the two promi
nent ideas of the Black Republican . patty
with reference to the admission of new States,
still they have kreen_ pressed by, that party
during t beNwhole struggle tin the Kansas and
Minnesota questions, and therefore they may
justly be said to constitute an essential por
tim. of the • Black Republican platfdrm, for
-the future That such a position is clea,ly
in violation .of the letter 'and spieit. of the.
Constitution, none will -deny, while its perni:
cioui tendency in fostering and keeping slice
- a bitter sectional feeling,cannot be queitioned.
Yet triei Black Republicans aredetermined to
act upon this sjatem, and the country must
