This “abolition monster,” “border ruffian,” “Kansas
highwayman,” and everything else that is bad, (according to the Democratic
Newspapers,) is in Washington, and was upon the floor of the Senate for a long
time yesterday. He certainly does not
have the look of a monster, but is a quiet looking gentleman whom we should
never suspect of committing any excesses or outrages in time of peace or war,
and we presume that the Democratic newspapers of Missouri, and the West, nave
attributed acts to him for which he is not responsible. – Washington Republican, 9th.
