Crawfonlavillc Review.

WHO IS TO BLAME!

Most people will now be answering this question for themselves. Wc. will take the same liberty.

The evil began with Lccompton. The President's Lccompton Message was a declaration of war against Popular Sovereignty, and since its promulgation there has accordingly been nothing but war, broken only by hypocritical truce in Indiana.

The Lccompton business had this cffcct: In 185G the Democracy elected James Buchanan on a distinctive principle—Popular Sovereignty. Some eighteen months after he took his chair of office he was offered an opportunity to give practical application to that principle—Kansas. When the opportunity cnmc, lie turned his back upon the principle, and asked Congress to force on the people of Kansas a Constitution he knew the majority was opposed to. Such Punic faith in one so high in office, stirred the Public wrath. It is impossible to tell how many Democratic ballots were cast in his condemnation. Equally impossible is it to tell how many Democratic ballots were cast for Democratic candidates under protest. One tiling is certain, in our opin ion the marvel is, not so much that w« have been beaten, as that there is a party of us left at all. Hut one thing saved us —a clear perception by Democrats that the party, with its millions, was not accessor}to the great wrong of which James Buchanan was alone guilty. This overthrow establishes that there is not on earth a par ty as loyal to its principles and organisa tion as the Democratic. Such a party can be defeated, but overthrown never—NEVER!

At this point, maybe, some of our Lc compton friends will throw up their hands asking us to spare Mr. Buchanan. Wc answer, he began the war—lie has defeated us—still he urges on his mercenary cohorts. How is it in Illinois? The batto.rios of the Union still thunders on Mr. Douglas' flank, while, hero-like, with his single arm, he drives back the legions of his negro-loving enemies. Not a man in office dares raise his voice for Douglas and the right tlio instant he docs, down drops tho axe, off goes another head. Annihila ted in Pennsylvania, overthrown in Ohio, ruined in Iowa,—defeated everywhere in ovcry Northern State, with scarcely enough of Democratic soil left us to lie down on and "rest after the humiliating battle of Oct. 12th,—with our common protestation howling round the White Ilouse like a storm,—the "serene indifference' is still preserved, the President still hobknobs with Gore Ousley, still shouts on his dogs, his Carpenters, Cooks, and Fitches, still strikes down Democrat after Democrat, still gives aid to the negro-lovers, and to gratify his personal animosity against Douglas, manages and maneuvers to overthrow us in Illinois, our last stronghold, the banner State of the Democracy. This was not what wo expected. Wc did not put him in the White House to pour upon us mildew and poisons, and strike us down even to our last fighting man. We thought to find in him a

PRESIDENT,

ton

not a tool for

fifth rate demagogues, liko Bright and Cobb we electcd him to administer the government for the common good and glory, not minister to the petty jealouscs and hates of little men magnificently ambitious. When he told us wc were a national party, and that the Union depende on our success, wc believed him, and never dreamed that ere half his term was gone, 1(0 would be found using the whole power of hi* office to crush us oat in the entire North. Iu short, wo believe that our defeat is attributable to Mr. Buchanan and that, if Sectionalism' gets control of the Government, and rules it to its ruin, History will trace the responsibility to him. In that event, also, millions will visit his graTC' to curse his memory, as. they now visit Mt. Vernon to blcss.that of Washing-

wiiat will wc:D«mocrats now do Bally—take heart—lift our banners from the dust* This triumph is undoubtedly for the Republicans—-to them are the spoils. But that fact is not more certain than that they achieved it by virtue 9f Democratic principles. .'.'I am for Top.ular Sovereignty— a Popular Sovereignty man. I voted for the Crittenden-Montgomery amendment," cried Jim Wilson everywhere. Hie principle was all potent—iti triumphed. The misfortune was that, on onr side,- our man had been for Lccompton—he fell. It remains for us to rally round our flags, and once more plant ourselves on the Cincinnati Platform, and lop off the false guides who have led us wide off onr old track of glory—the Brights, Fitches, 4c. By so doing the future, like the past, is ours.

Our first duty, however, is to our brethren in Illinois. With them be our good word, prayers, and every kindly act. Let every voice be raised to comfort and strengthen that one man upon whose shoulders singly rest the props of the whole American Democracy—

THE DEMOCRACY OF MONTGOMERY.

The gallant Democracy of this county as usual carricd their eagles through in triumph on last Tuesday. With the exception of Mr. JonN

LEE,

our caudidatc for

Treasurer, every man on the ticket was electcd by a respectable majority.— Judge Blake received a majority of fiftythree over Wilson. Notwithstanding wc arc again stricken down in the District, wc still have every assurance that it will yet be redeemed, and as a soldier in the ranks of the great Democratic Party, wc shall strive with an unabated zeal for that continuation. The defeat that overshadows us to-day, humiliating as it may be, is the precursor to victory in the future. The false position into which we were thrown by the management of the rights and Fitches has brought the evils that have fallen upon us. Their abandonment of the principle of popular sovereignty, and the heralding forth of that damnable sentiment, that "the submitting of constitutions to the people, was a vicious heresy," were virtually turning our own guns upon us, and giving aid and comfort to the enemy. Wc but speak the sentiments of the party in this county, when we charge upon these demagogues the defeat of the Democracy in the State. With us, their power and commission as leaders are gone. Their imbecility and treachery arc unmasked, and the events of to-day, point unerringly to them as the authors of our calamity, who with a ruthless hand cast into our ranks the fire-brands of defection and ruin.—

Like Nero, they have fired the citadels of of Home and smile at the conflagration.

LETTER FROM GOTEBHOR DENVER. The New York. having published an article on Kansas Air»" September 20th which contained several gross misstatements as to the action of Governor DENVER and President

BUCHANAN,

the

Governor adcWssed'the: foUowingeoarteous letter to the editors of titer Tribune, correcting die' errors, but they had not the fairness

print itl Under these circum

stances, the gentleman to whom it was sent for transmission-to the Tribune, has handedit to the New York Journal of Commerce, and we cheerfully lay it before our readers:

LicovrroK, K. T., September 30, 1S5S. To the Editors of the N. Y. Tribune: GESTXBIDI My attention has been called to-an article in reference to Kansas affairs published In your Daily of the 20th inst., and Tri-Weekly of the 21st, in which you suggest that I had probably been compelled by the Administration to resign the post I have heid here for some months past, and on that supposition you proceed to make some serious charges against Mr. Buchanan and his Administration, for all of which there is not the slightest foundation. It is true that I have resigned the officc of Governor of Kansas, but it was an act of my'own free will. The President desired me to remain, but the condition of my private afiairs would not permit me to do so longer. In June last I sent up my resignation to take effect in August, but while in Washington in July, at the urgent solicitations of many persons interested in Kansas, and also at the request of the President, I then withdrew it for the time being. Those who are conversant wiih the facts know that it has been with extreme reluctance that I have remained here from the first, and that I have always declared my intention to resign the office of Governor, as soon as it could be done with safety to the public interests. I have received the most ample assurances of the cordial approval of my course in this Territory by the President and all the members of his Cabinet, and here I must say that in all my conversations with the President about Kansas affairs, he has always manifested the deepest concern for the pcace and quiet of the country, and a determination that the people of the Territory should have a fair opportunity at the ballot box to settle the questions at issue before them in their own way, and without any extraneous influences. Such has been the character of all his communications to me, whether verbal or written, and while endeavoring to carry them out in good faith, I have met with no opposition from the moderate men of the Territory, nor from those who have been classed as proslavery men.

The frauds perpetrated at the election in January last, were committed by the violent and unscrupulous men of all parties, and the investigation of them was partisan and partial. Such acts as the forging of the returns from Delaware Crossing were paraded before the public with great gusto, while the destruction of the ballot-box and ballots at Sugar Mound, by Captain Montgomery, was passed by in silence. The actors iu all these transactions ought to have been severely punished, but there were no laws that would rcach the in, aud tho lafco Legislative Assembly, which was all Free State, made no sufficient laws to meet such cases in the future, but endeavored to paralyze the powers of the Circuit Courts, and invest the Probate Courts with powers they could not exercise. You admit that things have gone on quietly under my administration: This is not exactly correct. There has been some disturbances in Doniphan, Leavenworth, Linn and Bourbon counties, and in every case the disturbances have been produced by persons calling themselves Free State men. In Doniphan county an effort was made to assassinate the gentlemen who were elected to the Legislature on the 1st Monday in January last, and, although they escaped with their lives, they were plundered of their property, and their houses burned. No steps have been taken to punish the perpetrators, and yet all the county officers were Free State men. The troubles in Leavenworth city contiuucd all winter, and if the Mayor and other city officers did not encourage them, they certainly took no measures to have them suppressed. In Linri and Bourbota counties all was quiet until Montgomery and his band commenced plundering, and driving off the people who differed with them in political sentiments, in the course of which they committed some most outrageous acts, one of which was to drive a farmer away from his home, on pain of. death, and then to take the ladies of his family, strip off their clothing, and in that condition compel them to -walk backward -and forward for their amusement. I passed through the counties where these outrages were perpetrated, and for some thirty miles it presented such a scene of desolation as I never expected to have seen, and hope never again to sec in a country inhabited by American citizens. Is it any wonder that the people on whom such outrages were perpetrated

should

become exasper

ated Some three hundred families were thus robbed of their prepcrty, driven away from their homes and compelled to fly from the Territory. About two-thirds of them from Linn county, where every local officer was and is a Free State man, after providing places of security for their families, some of the men, maddened and desperate with the treatment they had received, returned to seek revenge, and-perpetrated the bloody and unjustifiable.act of the Mar ais des Cygnes. This, was followed, on the part of Montgomery, by setting fire to the town of Fort Scott, in the middle of the night, while the people were asleep and then pouring in volleys of rifle balls to prevent the people from extinguishing the flames. Although no serious conscquenccs resulted from this act, though several persons cscaped very narrowly, yet in its inception, I know of. nothing worse in the whole history of Kansas. If such an act had been committed .by a band of hostile Indians, it would have sent a thrill of horror throughout-the, .whole ^country. Such have, been some-of. the troubles in this Territoiy, and yet the perpetrators are running at large without an effort to arrest them, in counties where the Free State men have all the local officers, upheld by a. portion ofthose calling themselves FweStete men. Among the moet active of whom have beenthehired reporter* of the Eastern newspaper press. If any further disturbances occur in thi« Territory, are the pooplewho willbc justly responsible for it. The Pro-Slavery party have a majority in every county in the Territory,

and they have the Sheriff and all other local officers. iaall but tiro or three of the counties, and there is no county in which the Sheriff can not-preserve thejpeaee if he desires to do so.

You make another complaint against the President, that he h*s «*f*^poned the sales of the public -lands.- *lf 1 mistake not, laat^ spring yeaeomplsined because the sales were-ordered for «Tuly. The first postponement "was made at the urgent solicitations of the people in all' parts of the Territory, and so anxious were they to have it done, that they sent on a committee of three to see the President on the subject, and the result of their interview was published by you. The second postponement was more necessary than the first, for money had become more scarce in the Territory the. rates of interest had gone up to five and ten per

cent,

per month, and there

was a good deal of sickness throughout tnfe whole country. By adhering to the second order for" the sales to take place in November, the settler would be placed at the mercy of the money lender, when to postpone it the settler would have another, year within which to obtain the means to secure a home without having to give awav one-half of his land for the money with which to enter the other half. No good government would knowingly impose such terms on her citizens, and hence, the second postponement of the land sales.'until July next. It was a measure. demanded by the condition of affairs here, and of which I have heard no one complain, except such as were detcrminbd'to be dissatisfied with anything and everytbing'the Administration might do, and a few money lenders-whose percentage .has been greatly reduced by it.

By giving publicity to this, you will correct some erroneous impressiong conveyed in the article alluded to, and oblige yours, respectfully, J. W. DENVER.

THE REQUESTS OF NAPOLEON.

When the Napoleonic dynasty had again become seated upon the imperial throne of France, the government assumed and paid some of the most important money legacies of Napoleon. This was expected and excited no astonishment. But there is another bequest which those who have read the history of Napoleon at St. Helena, and have informed themselves of the absolute idolitary in which the memory of the Em peror is held by the great heart of France are waiting to see- discharged. When the illustrious captive penned his will upon the rock of St. Helena, whither he had been treacherously consigned, after vainly trusting to the honor and chivalry of Britain he wrote this pregnant bequest:

I bequeath to the British Government the'infamy of my death. That far-seeing and sagacious mind knew that history would do him justice, and that in after-times, the chief anxiety of the British Government would be to wipe out the stain upon 1 ritish honor which their predecessors had-fa&tened upon it, in his imprisonment and death. From 1840, when permission was given to France, un dcr Louis Phillippc, to remove the bones of this terror to England, from the re proachful grave where they lay to the banks of Seine, "in the midst of the French peo pie wliom ho lnrcil so wull," down to tho present tiiiic, England Iras performed many acts of humiliation. She has eaten dirt at the feet of the imperial throne. She has abased herself before the dcscendent and successor of him they had so much wronged. If this humiliation were sincere or in dicatcd rcpentaucc, it might be taken as a sufficient atonement. But there is no sincerity or repentance there only policy and fear.

They seem to have forgotten that- the French people, to whom national glory is as dear as their heart's blood, and of which Napoleon was the sun, have received it as apart of their national faith, that Waterloo is to be tested in another field, the occupation of Paris is to be avenged, and the treason to Napoleon, which culminated in his death by a slow torture, is to be bitterly atoned for. This faith pervades France, and the generation that is now living be lieve that it is their destiny to accomplish these retributions: There may be those who will sneer at and affect to doubt these things. We as much believe that France feels that it is her dewtny to engage in a retributive contest, as we believe that the name of. Napoleon is the chief immortal name^riber temple of glory.

Tlie ftith of France in the retributive mission which is assigned her, is made the object of a pamphlet entitled Ultimate Objects of Najwleon III, which, just now, is having a wide circulation, and is attracting an unusual degree of attention. The author write 'with philosophic calmness and produces arguments which force themselves upon the consideration of thinking men.

The Anglo-French alliance," remarks the author, "was mainly formed, so far as Napoleon was concerned, for two purposes of advance in this project both of which were succcssful. One object was to teach the French soldiers the weak points of British troops, and the other'was to weaken Britain's latent power to an extent, by wasting her best blood. Britain was used but as a tool to weaken herself—was meant to be but a tool and meant to realize the faet—meant to be forced to chew the bitter cud of galled vanity therefrom, and meant to be thus prompted into silent steps for reaping ultimate poUtical advantage from an ugly experience. It has been done alL Perim has been quietly possessed by. Great Britain Turkey remonstrates. France does not bluster, but all quietly as the offense was done, takes measures that are yet to be cited as having been sufficient protest against.it. So this seemingly quiet matter at issue is no trifling matter."

There is much matter for grave reflec tion in the little work from which this ex tract is taken.—Boston Herald.

A BANK OF GOLD.

There is a project on foot, in New York to establish a bulUou bank,. which shall use nothing but coin in its- transactions, It meets withjjie cordial_ approval of many prominent men, among whom areJUvtia Van Buren, Robert J.

SLAVERY IN THB TKftKITORIE^ la a recent speech at Bailor, Maine, the'Hon.^Jefferson Davis, now Senator from Mississippi, and who waa Secretary of War in the Pierce Administration, presented the following forcible views upon die question of alavery in the Territories. Mr.jfcma i*aState Rights Democrat, actjL .guyority whose orthodoxy upon the slavery issue cannot be. questioned, .sSenator Davis said:

If ihc inhabitants of any Territory should, refuse to enact such laws and police regulations as would give security, to their .property or tohis, it would "Be-ren-dered, more or less valueless, in proportion to ihe" difficulties'of holding it without sueh protection.'" In the .case of property in the labor of man, or what is'usually called' slave property,, the insecurity iro'd be so great that the owner' could not ordinarily retain it. Therefore, though the right would remain, the remedy being withheld, it would follow that the owner would be practically debarred by the circumstances of the case, from taking slave property into a Territory where the sense of the inhabitants was opposed to its introduction. So much for the, oftrrcpeated fallacy of forcing slavery upon any com

PERSONAL.—Von Humbgl$ty ha? celebrated his ninetieth birthday. An English, correspondent writing from Berlin, says that "never did a conqueror receive congratulations from so many persons, and such'great distances, as^ the post boy. had to carry on Tuesday morning to the well known house in the Cfransienburgcrstrasse. Those who have been fortunate enough to enjoy a peep at the .fifth volume of Kosmos, which is still under his hands, assert that neither in style. nor contents does it, in the least, yield to the four volumes which preceded it. Humboldt himself, is said to be of .the opinion that he will die next spring, just after having completed the last of the tasks he has undertaken. But his friends who observe him speak differently, are bold enough to predict that this time he will prove to be altogether in error, and that a very differ ent celebration from that which he anticipates will next year take place in his house.

The balloon race at Cincinnati be

tween Mons. Godard and Prof. Stcincr is fixed for the 18th inst. The Gazette says:

A committee" of five well known citizens has been chosen, who are to decide whether the weather in the morning shall justify the inflation of the balloons.— When the inflation has commenced aeronauts must- go. Each may take up a passenger, at his own discretion. The success of either will be in relation to distance, not height. Arrangements will be made for each aeronaut to send down, at every town passed, in a parachute, a "log" or note, containing the name of the balloon and any incident occurring on the trip, which will be sent by telegraph. Mons. Godard and Prof. Steincr each expect to be up three or four days.

BATARD TAXLOR AS A PRINTER.—The

editor of the Plymouth (111.) Locomotive, who was a printer in the same office where Bayard Taylor "served his time," tells some interesting reminiscences of the great traveller:

Wc had the honor to «ucceed him in our term of "devilsliip" in the Village Record officc, Westchester, Chester county, Pa.— We well remember the time when he started out on his first "tramp," with his small satchcl containing a change or two of linen, and with fifty cents in capital. The apprentices in those days had to carry the papers through the country on horseback, and our route was just past his father's house. We do not know of a single time through rain or shine, that old Mr. Taylor did not meet us at the end of the lane with a happy smile, wishing us a good day, and as we would hand him the Weekly Record, he would remark, "a fair exchange is no robbery," filling one

•ST" The New York correspondent of the Philadelphia Press says that a novel specimen of marine architecture will be launched in a few days at that city—one that proposes a bold innovation upon the present plan of constructing ocean steamers. The new vessel is of iron, and is "got up" by Boss and Thomas Winans, of Baltimore. It is one hundred and eighty feet long and only sixteen feet wide has no keel nor cut-water, no blunt bow standing up above the water-line to receive blows from the sea, and no flat deck to hold, or bulwark to retain water. She has four high-pressure engines, with boilers like those of a locomotive. Being built entirely of iron, she will be fire proof, and from the number of the water-tight compartments, it is thought she will be comparatively free from danger of sinking in case of collission. Her form, also, is such as makes her stronger than u*ual, and also affords the least possible hold for the wind and waves. Every portion of the hull is arebed in all dircctions, and the entire material is supposed to be placed in the best position to resist all the straining that it can be subject to at sea. With 200 tons of coal on board, the present vessel will displace about 350 tons of water, and will accommodate about twenty first-class passengers and the United States mail, with room to spare for small valuable packages. The properties which are to adapt this vessel to a high average speed, will, it is said, alsr adapt it to the cheap, safe, and sute transportation of freight. as compare'd with vessels having-sails, or sails and steam combined:
