Banks of Massachusetts was the leader o- the "dry rot democrats" who voted against the Kansas Bill. As soon as thai bill passed, Banks, and forty three dry rot Democrats, went and pitched into the pool ol Know-Not hingism. The seven Southern W bigs who opposed lhal bill, went and pitched into ihe same pool with Banks. Such a whig as they were, he never had been, and so help him G"d. he never would be. For his part he would rather act wilfa those who had cut off the dry rot part, than with those who had it. Every man who fought by his aile or lb Kansas bill h meant from the North called hirnsell a 1 Democrat; every one of ihem. He was none of your glass-eyed skitiy horses to shy at a shadow. He went, nut for sound but (or substance. He; was not frightened at a ntmie, and he would strike hands with any man from the North or South, no j matter what he called himself, when he stood up and hauled for the rights of the Sou'h. There was one man who bad stood by bis side lor two I days and nights, whoa he was fighting for Kansas. !

When the Ab a Dubois waa about embarking for the United Stale, towards the and ol lb lust century, he received letters of introduc'ion from General Lafayette to Beverley Randolph, then.

Now, if L ifayette believed, iitd gave utterBiiou to the belief, as is pretended, thai, "if ever the lib erties of me United States should be destroyed, it would be by Catholic Priests," how could he have introduced and recommended the Abbe Du bois to some of the Fathers of iho American Rev olution 7 and how could ihev, who must have baeaj acquainted with his sentiment on the Mibj et, have admitted him into their families and confidence ? Surely this fact, which I am surprised hta not been brought before the public notice till now must be a convincing proof lhat ihe words attrib uted to Lifayette, were never uttered by th .1 great man.
