r It is notbinc nncommon to hear Locofoco
papers charging those opposed to the Pierce
Democracy with acting inconsistently, and
claiming- that the Democratic is the only up
right nd straightforward party ia the country.
These are, however, mere asseverations, nn
hecocapanied by substantiating testimony. It
is thought, on the other hand, thst the char
ges which they are so ready to make against
others, might perhaps be more applicably made
against their own party. DHring the last eight
er tea years, the course pursued by the De
mocracy of Pennsylvania, on the slavery ques
tion, has been such as can, we think, reason
ably be termed inconsistent. In 1849, a reso
lution was adopted by them" in their State Con
vention, in which they "re-declare that slave-
ry is a domestic and local institution of the
"South, subject to State legislation alone,
and wilh which the general government has
nothiiig to do. Wherever the State law ex
" tends its jurisdiction, the local institution
" can continue to exist. Kslceming it aviola-
ticn of Stale rishls to carry it beyond Siate im
its, tee deny the j-oieer of any citizen to extend
' the area, of bondage brycii'l its preterit demin
" ion, nor do we consider ii a part 6f the compro
" nises cf the Constitution that Siarcry should
" fore cer travel with the advancing columns of
" cur territorial progress."' Th.it is what the
Democracy or this State said in 1S19. Head it
ud ponder it as yon may, it cannot bo regard
ed in any other light than as Freesoil doctrine,
r r, as they are pleased to term it, rank Abo
litionism. " 'Ky the mass, and 'tis like a
camt-1, indeed."
In 18 )1, the Democratic party in Pennsylva
nia tacked about a littl, relying "upon the
" compromise of 1850 as a final adjustment of
"the vexed and daugerous question," and in
1855 '-recognized no geographical . lines be
twppn North and South," declared that the in
terests of all parte of the Union were the same
to them, and recognized "in its widest extent
the principle of popular sovereignty in the
territories." This position was regarded, at
that time, as problematical in its meaning, and
was evidently designed to gull both Northern
and Southern voters. Ia fact, '-it is backed
like a weasel !"
But it was in 1S5C, the present year, that
the Pennsylvania portion of the "great natiou-
?.l Democratic party" tool; the leap which
laii I them in the uiidst of the slough ol Sla
very piopag:iuilis?ii. At their Stale Conven
tion, I.uld some time since, tiicy resolved,
' that ii! the repeal tf the act knows as the
" M isourj, Coiiu.remij act, and the passage
" of the act or uiizin the territories of Kan-
" sas aud Nebraska, free from unconstitutional
restrictions, the last Congress performed a
" work of patriotic sacrifice in meeting the
"demands of seciioual excitement bv unsha-
" ken adherence to ihe fundamental law."
ft" they would have said that "a work of pa
triotic sacrifice" had Leen performed by meet
ing th; .. fic' Is cf Ike Slave cwcr, tiio idea
won II have Leva better expressed. "A work
of patriotic sacrifice,", indeed, which ha3 been
the cause of ail the troubles ia those territo
ries, of the (lcstruction of private property,
and of the shedding of innocent blood in
Kansas, and which has brought our country
tn the. verge of civil war. And this is sanc
tioned by the Democracy of this State! And
how, in doing this, docs their position accord
with the viov. s they held in IS4'J ? Of a truth,
it is now "rcry l&e a irLale!" . : .
Tije Eis-ZB.0Ad Ka.kas must strike every
reader wlih the. utmost astonishment. That
the people of. a territory in this free land of
ours should be hunted down and shot like wild
beasts, their towns burned and their property
destroyed by a horde of non-resident ruflians
and desperadoes, who hare attempted to force
their laws upon them, and who are backed up
.ii. this attempt by the President, is too gross
ly outrageous to pass without condemnation.
It is a notorious fact that the citizens cf Law
rence ia formed the U. S. Marshal that no re
sistance would bo made to any process which
he might w ish to serve, and asked him to pro
tect their lives and property. And yet, after
testing their submissiveness by making sever
al arrests, he permitted a large force under
Jones to destroy the town and, it is said, take
he lives of vrl of the citi.ens. The U.
'S. troops were anxious to protect the citizens
fr ut were not allowed. '
CAUSE OF THE KANSAS TROUBLES.
What is the cause of the present trouble in
Kansas ? The immediate cause may be staiea
in few words. It-arises from an attempt to
subdue American citizens into obedience to
usurped power.
All the power exercised by the Border Kuf-
Can Legislature over the people or Kansas was
usurped. Its members were elected not by
the ballots cf actual citizens, but by armed in
vaders, who marched into the territory in or
ganized companies, took possession of the
ballot-boxes, elected their own men, and then
marched out. This appears to be true of that
Legislature as a body, with perhaps not more
than one exception. To require submission
Oil I'll' I'm I "' 1v i'iv- ...... ..j... t
i in .m.,.f forlonriv.V th.Vm of
ll rights, rmd cast them on the mercy of men
i.lapcl over them bv the Missouri invaders.
The Free-State inhabitants of Kansas have
c.r.w-Ti tiif.msflrs fn ln in nn rminpiit decree I
fdrliearins. : The officers appointed legally
over them by the General Government have
been recognized as such and respected. The
people have 'submitted to the authority of those
OfiTeOTs, everi in cases where the only object of
tha officer' and authorities seemed fobo one of
vexation ami oppression. If at an- time they
have resisted the olh'ccrs of the General Gov-
crnment, it lias been when prompted by self-
defence or absolute necessity. But the author
ity of the Border 11 uflian Legislature no free
man of Kansas could 'acknowledge without
bowing to usurped power and virtually making
himself a slave. If the people of Kansas
would bow submissively to such a yoke, wc
might well tremble for the country. When
American cifizens learn to yield without a
murmur to usurpation and tyranny, the spirit
of libertj' is gone
The same thins; was the immediate cause of
the war of the Revolution. A usurped power
of imposing taxes was attempted to be en
forced upon our ancestors. The attempt was
resisted, and that resistance was jixht. Now
it is attempted by the Slave power, through
the border ruffians and their abettors, to csnrp
the power, not only of taxation, bnt of impo
sing all law "upon the freemen of Kansas.
Shall it be done 7 ' '
THE KEATING AFFAIR
The American Celt, an Irish paper, devotes
much space to the Killing of Keating, at Wi!
lards hotel in Washington City, by Mr. Her
bert, a Congressman from California. Refer
ing to the vote by which Herbert was shielded
from investigation, the Cell says:
Now, in relation to that division on Herbert's
case, we have a duty to perform, and we hall
not siirmii iroin aisciiargnig it. I fiat duty is
adopted citizens of Irish hirth f Iirontrl.m.t thn

diligent classes of citizens, and that thev I
have, as Tdainly as deeds can speak, declared
the murder of a man of Irish birth by'one of
their colleagues to be a trifle wholfv nnwor
thy even of inquiry. Is the Democratic par
tv mad, or is it only rotten, that it should so
bi?.:c itself? With half a dozen exceptions, I
every man of the majority for Keating's mur
derer is a professed "Democrat." What then,
does it mean Or can it mean anything but
one thing that an Irishman born, however
peaceable, or loyal, is only fit to be used by
the Democratic partv, and when used, set up
for a target, and shot with tmpunit-. This is
what it , means, and to this meaning we shall
hold the entire party.
We hold Mr. Pierce, Mr. Douglas, and Mr.
Buchanan responsible fortius conduct of their i
confidants and supporters. They were all in
Washington ; it was for days the topic of the
town : if their friends have taken sides against
the victim and against common justice, they
are not wholly above suspicion. A few davs
ago the blood of Thomas Koating was on the
hands of but one ; Democrat ; it has spread
since then and it is now upon the souls of
Democratic party, and accursed bo he ho
helps such a party into power juntil that blood
is lawfully purged away.
jjeL mem u oi suppose mis rnauer is going
to drop here. One icfio seldom drops anything
has it now in hand, and he distinctly warns the
Democratic Representatives at Washington, thtit
if justice is vol done on the murderer, Herbert,
they will be held accountable, as tho party w ho
interposed to screen and protect him from the
penalty of h;s guilt."

THE ASSAULT ON MR..ST7MNER.
Th-j West Chester Republican, an orthodox
Democratic 'paper, indulges in the following
sensible remarks in speaking of the recent as
sault on Mr. Sumner. It is really gratifying
to see a paper that can speak out without
being biassed by party predelictions. ' It
says : -. ; ,
"Elsewhere wc give tho particulars of a
disgraceful assault on Senator Sumner by Mr.
Brooks, of South Carolina. What are we
coming to 1 These scenes of ruflianism at the
National Capital arc fulfilling the worst pre
dictions of , the despotic foes of our free in
stitutions. , :Thc enemies of republican liber
tj- in Europe will smile with satisfaction when
they read the particulars of this new outrage.
We hope the House of Representatives will
indicate thj violated honor of the country
by sending Mr. Brooks home to his constitu-
ents, and asuing tneni to supply ins piace
with a gentleman, entertaining better ideas of
propriety. . The ; recent speech of Mr. Sum
ner Las beeu-a very inflammatory one, but not
a whit more so tliau those to which ho was re
plying. There is, therefore, no justification
at this point, for the assault." ; ... ... : :.

how tho assault is regarded in different sec-
ions of the country. - .

"1 ne mea oi using a uiuugeon upon a .-5en-
ator for malting a-speech against a State is
monstrous. A score ol isoutu uaroiina mem-
bers of Congress-within the last few years
live used their whole power of abuse and vi
tuperation against Massachusetts, an l as many
Massachusetts members have exercised them
selves upon South Carolina. A pitched bat
tle has lng been raging between the cham
pions of those, two States, and generally the" j
harshest and most offensive language has come
f rom thc South Carolinians, who don't like to
l e out done in anything. What Sumner may
have said about Senator Butler we know not,
bnt we think that the old Senator, who is quite
as Scry hearted as he is white-headed, would
scorn thc thought of letting any younger man
take a quarrel with an abolitionist off his
lands. Wm happened to be in the Senate
Chamber near the close of tho last session of
Congress during one of the 'idgM discussions
of all manner of slavery questions. Judge
Butler, who is really a gentleman of many fine
and generous personal qualities, had become
exceedingly elated from frequent visits to the
Senatorial llestaurant. Sumner was making
a severe.speech that evidently had reference
to the forcible expulsion of Mr. Hoar, a ven
erable citizen of Massachusetts, from the lim
its of South Carolina, but he did not mention
South Carolina's name. Mr. Butler interrnp
ted hint by asking in a fierce tone, "does he
mean South Carolina?" Sumner proceeded
without noticing thc interruption. tI de
mand," exclaimed Butler, starting again to
his feet, "whether he means South Carolina ;
for, if he does, let him say "so, and I will give
him something to make him remember me and
South Carolina as long as he lives." Suni-
ucr still proceeded quite- imperturbably, be.
stow ing no attention upon his excited oppo-
neut just in front of him. "Does he mean
South Carolina 1" ejaculated Butler for the
third time". ' Yes, I do mean South Carolina,"
thundered Sumner with more spirit than we
had thought ' an abolitiouist could possess
He finished his speech without any fnrther in
tcrrnplion, and Bugler arose to reply, but the
fine old 'South Carolina -gentleman'-' was too
far 'gone to bj half equal to ' the tremendous
occasion. Wc repeat thc expression of the
hope, that, however obnoxious Sumner may
justly be to the patriotic portion of the peo
ple of the United States, the House of Rep
resentatives will promptly expel Brooks if the
account of his assault upon thc Massachusetts
Senator" shall prove correct. Indeed the
House of Representatives, it seems to us,
would be guilty .of: the grossest and most
shameful dereliction of duty to the Senate if
it were to rcluse to punish one of its own
members lor knocking down a Senator upon
the floor of the Senate for words said in a
Senatorial debate. . ; . r . j.

had increased their number to 400 men. They
bore flags and banners, with various mottoes
and dev ices, but no United States flag.
During the forenoon the Committee of pub

with a note to Marshal Donaldson, who headed
the force, .assuring him that the citizens would
make no resistance to any p-ocess.be might
wish to serve, arid asking protection for their
lives and property. The Marshal made no re

give tickets to either, unless an arrangement
could be effected among themselves, as was
done In the case of the Mississippi delegation.
