They make this charge only lo de
ceive you. Four of the gentlemon
on the Republican ticket, (embrac
ing bold Senators, the State's At

As to the rest, we assure you from
personal knowledge that thoy are
I'LEUcr.n to the Republican I'lat

their own views as (o Americanism,
as you who were Whigs, you who
were Democrats, you who were
Freesoilers, had as to tho several par
ties to which you havo belonged,
lint they, as you do, acknowledge
the principles of Freedom to be car
dinal to overshadow all others;
and for Frctdo -.'s sake they stand
bytUE Repuhi.ican cause. Will
ypu repudiate them? Yon do not
repudiate Whigs, Democrats and
Freesoilors, who take precisely sh
same course! Will you sacrificu

Will you drive from the Republi

who wish to act with you fn de
fence of the, Republican cause? If
such shall bo your course, the cause
of Freedom in Washington County
will surely be defeated. Yea., U
such shall ho the course of tho Re
publicans of the North, their forces
will be rent in twain in every freo
State, and by this suicidal division,

let not Liberty bo slain in tho houso

Wc bes you to remember that
the policy of the slavocracy, delib
erately planned and unscrupulously
curried out, is to divide the
viukniis OP
Freedom. For this
purpose tho Whig Slavocrals of the
South went into the Know Nothing
organization, and attempted to con
trol it fur slavery. For this pur
pose the Democratic Slavocrats re
soricd to secret cabal?, bound by
oalh to favor foreigners, in or
der to carry the foreign voters
for slavery in the Middle and West

New-Kngland generally, they raikc j

Tho Suicide of Slaver?.
Tho following nrticlo derive, par
ticular interest and iniporlanco from
tho fact that it comes from a Mis
souri newspaper tho St. Louis
Intelligencer, a leading paper aaiong
tho old Whig journals. Wo com
mend tho striking idea'of iho 'sui
cide oi- slavery" to our renters
wilh a single warning : thissu.ciJe
of slavery is not to bo accomplished
unless tho friends of freedom piesenl
an unbroken front in freedom's
defence. The outrages of slavery ,j
says the Intelligencer, will bring
on "a collision" in Kansas; that
is, the friends of Freedom will re-'
sist. Then slavery will run away.
Ho it remembered, therefore that
Slavery is to be frightened only by
the determined, united, effectual re
sistance of the Jricnds of Frudom.
Tho Intelligencir says:

ing thcmseltcs to fat speculations
by locating tho 'seat of govern-
mem' mid getting town to lots for
their votes. They are passing laws
disfranchising all tho citizens of
Kansas who .do not bulievo negro
slavery to be a Cliristiiui institution
and a national blessing. They aro
proposing to punish with imprison
ment tho utterance of view incon
sistent with their own. And they
are trying to jicrpetuato tlioir pre
posterous and infernal tyranny by
appointing for ei term of years
creatures of their own, as cotnmis
sioners in every county, to lay and
collect taxes, and see that the laws
they aro passing nre faithfully exe
cuted. Has this age anything to
compare wilh these acts in an
dicily ?
Tho Freo Stato men of Kansas
have resolved not to submit tu this
daring usurpation of a non-resident
oligarchy. They havo called a
convention of lho peoplo of Kansas,
to meet in Soptember next, und
frame n constitution for their gov
ernment. This movement -will bo
supported by thousands in Kansas,
und it will rally and bring lo their
aid thu Northern States that have
been for tho time staggered and
confused by the untoward events
in Kansas.
The next Congress will find,
then, this issuo before thomr a Free
State Constitution presented by one
portion of tho peoplo of Kansas;
and tho Pfo Slavery territorial laws
of the present fraudulent legislature.
Tho House of Representatives of
tho next Congress will be largely
Free Soil or Anti Nebraska, Tb
Pro Slavery laws of tho bogus Le
gislature will bo rejected, and with
out Congressional sanction they arc
not valid nml tho contest will then
bo on accepting tho constitution
presented by tho Frro Soil people
This Free Slnlo Constitution may
pass (he House, but not tho Sonato.
Hut the eil'ecl will be as disastrous

will bo left to anarchy. ThoSla-
