has commenced, and hat it has begun
the true principles. The Democrats o.
that territory, it seems, are disguised
with the rule of the present Know Moth
ing Legislature, which was foistcd upor
them by Atcliison and his confederate
h: Ms of Missouri, aud they are deter.
mined not to give over the fair ard viz.
gin soil OF the new land to the sway OF
the Midnight Party without a struggle
The Territorial Register, a purely Dem
oeratic paper lately started, thus opens
the ball."

"Again We find "A call signed by ma.
ny of the leading Democrats in the ter.
ritory, calling a convention to make o
party nomination upon which a leading
Democratic Journal in the territory.
which is thoroughly hostile to the pres.
emit Know Nothing Legislature, remarks
as follows
DEMoCRATIc1G oNEExrIoN.@a We are
glad to see so determined a spirit c
orally shown to organize the party. A
call for the convention is now being cir.
culated and signed by leading Demo
Gratis in the Territory. The day fixed
upon is the 30th of the present month /;
it will be all important to have a full
representation. All genuine Democrats
will doubtless hail the organization as
an advent of better times in Kansas
We have been urged to assume the re-
sponsibility of giving publicity, on our
own hook, to the time and place, but
declined doing SO, preferring that the
call should emanate from a respectable
number of Democrats from all parts of
the country. Handbills signed for the
call will be published and due notice
given"
"The movement, we further learn,
meets with the strongest sanction and
approval of the Administration. and al
though it is bitterly denounced by Atch-
ison, and Stringfellow and the organs
under their control, yet it will no doubt
be successfully carried out. In fact, if
we are not very greatly mistaken, we
have seen evidences of a determination
to do SO for some time past in the acts
of the Executive itself. Judge Gilmore
who refused to cooperate in the pro-
posed organization aud chose rather to
cast in his lot with the Know Nothing
Legislature has already been removed
from Office, and others are threatened
with the same fate. The recent censure
of the Administration by the Legisla-
ture for this re noval also s%Iuints strong
ly at the same political prospect, ard
should not be at all surprised if the
object in the recent act of the two hous-
es providing for appointing one of their
own party a sheriff in their respective
counties for sir gears to come, was de-
to provide a retreat against ex-
eeutive wrath for dcedpitated officials
hereafter. Thus is David r. Atchison
about to reap the full reward, in the in
Fiction OF pains and penalties upon his
fuglemen, for his base desertion of the
and his Junction with the or
der of the Dark Lantern Conspiracy"
Let our Democratic friends in Kansas
push on this ball and redeem hat new
Territory from the "Bloody Order
that has disgraced its virgin soil. The
in Ohio will feel SIRE to wit
ness the fact that they car no longer fall
sify the truth of history in their hollow
d~enunciatio:s of the voters of
while they impudently apologize
for the unhung violates of the law at
Louisville Every hour aids to sift the
good from the evil, and we hope soon to
see no longer any possibility of fasten-
ing falsehood and Misrepresentation up
