POWER, UNrIL THAT BLOOD ~ LAWFUL.
LY PURGED AWAY.
) The Republican members 81 tbs HOUSE, from
whatever motive, acted fairly and fearIsssly by
Herbert. They demanded an inquiry they 70.
ted for inquiry. Honor to the Republicans, for
this practical assertion Of the theory o. "equsl
rights" Honor to the mon who did their best
that justice might not be defeated Of It's ends!--
And shame--eternal shame, on the false Demo.
Gratis, who made common cause with tho rich
ruffan from the Pacific, and against the humble
working man of foreign birth, whose protectors
they ought to be, if there was either honor or
conscience left among them.
Let them not suppose this matter is going to
drop here. One who seldom drops anything has
it now in hand, and he distinctly warns the DEM
ocratic Representatives at Washington, that il
Justice is not done on the murderer Herbert, then
will be held accountable, as the party who inter-
posed to screen and protect him from the penalty
Of his guilt.

KANsAs.-SuALL SHE BE ADMITTED ?-Aluch has
been said about admitting Kansas as State, but
the advocates of ':popular sovereignty desire
her not to come into the Union until she can muster
a population of $4,000, the object being to give
time for Slave holders to settle there and then to
force slavery upon an unwilling people. s'Kansas
has not sufficient number of people, says
Douglas. ''Kansas must not come into the Onion
now" says Pierce, because, he might have added
the people will vote for freedom.
To show the fallacy of the idea that Kansas
cannot be admitted into the Union with her pre-.
sent population, which is about sixty thousand
we have only to look to the precedents already
set. For nstance:-
Louisiana admitted in 1912, with popu.
laton Of $4,000.
Indiana was admitted in 1916, with a popula.
ton of % 1890.
Mississippi was admitted in 1917, with popu
laton of probably $4,000.
Arkansas was admitted in 1886, with a popula
ton Of 1851.
Michigan admitted in 1887, with popua
| ton Of 1000.
| Florida was admitted in 1915, with a popula
| ton of 81 ,943.
Will not these precedents justify the admission
of Kansas? And do they not refute the asser
tons of Douglas and others, that it is necessar,
that she should have 93, 900 inhabitants before
she can be classed with the States? Suppose
Kansas wished to come in as Slave State, will
only 10000 inhabitants, wouldn't Douglas, Pierce
AtchisoH and Stringfellow cry out-''lct hel
Gomez" Who doubts but such would be the
case? 1t is because the majority of the peopl,
are III favor of freedom in Kansas, and not be
cause Kansas has not sufficient number of in
habtants, that she is kept outside of the Unior
| Of States.
