Pro. o.SlaYery Convention.

Pro-Slavery Convention.
1t is proposed that our party hold con-
ren,ion at Leavenworth CITY, commencing
On the 18th day of November, and that
e.ch Gu ty appoint one delegate for ev-
cry one hundred votes poled therein for
Gen. Whitfield at the late election.
We have ye; much work 10 do before
our objects in Kansas are consumated;
and the Legislature is to meet on the list
ofJanuary. and we have no doubt bat
large majority of the votes polied at the
recent election were for a convention, 10
form "a Constitution for a State Govern
nent, and it viii devolve on the Legisla-
ture TO provide therefor. Tie pro slavery
party in this Territory ought now TO have
full understanding as to the line Of poll
cy hereafter 10 be pursued, and carry it
out with firmness and unaninity, and the
only successful plan we know Of TO accom-
rlish such purpose is 10 Loid "A conven-
'ion as above proposed. Iflhst other pro-
slavery papers i'll the Territory approve
the foregoing, publish il at once. so thai
each county may appoint delegates. All
speak out--and the members elect 10 the
hex. Legislature all be invited to meet
with the Delegates in convention.

Gen. Atctison having taken UP his res
ie!ance in Kansas, the reolle in trrer
Missouri are heginning.to look around for
some one 10 fill his place in the Cnied
states Senate aud we notice that Gen.
y' +. String fellow, of Weston, is very IA
vdrahy spoken OF as the man. We are
uuIv glad 10 see this. for with General S.
and sosle other equally sound man in the
United States from Missouri, the disgrace
a,tached to that State by tire election OF
Blair irom-St. Louis, would soon be wiped
out. ami the State be redeemed from the
charge OF [resoilism.
Eat this is not all. Gen S. wo1iid not
only ably and faithfully represent Missou-
nj but i'll our opinion is the man who would
lru,st advance the interest Of our party in
hansasln than any man that could be
selected from Missouri. Kansas needs a
friend in- the United States Senate. and
Gen. s. better understands our condition
;snd position than any other man, and ha:
tie ability and disposition to s,ani by us
ard defend us and our rights. Fagther
Gen. S. has been the object at which abo
lionists in and out of Kansas. from one
end OF the Union to the other, hare direct
ed their batteries. He has been slandereI
and villified and denounced as an igno
Haia ruffian, and we should like to see
Enn have an opportunity oil meeting in The
t. S. Senate Sumner, Wilson, s Co., for We
know that they would soon learn that len
s. not only has tie qualifications of kick
ing a Reeder in Kansas, when insulted
but that he has mind capable of invcsti
eating any subject that may arise in til
Senatechamber; aud tongue that can 8
s,sh and expose their schemes and trick
tlat they will soon be as careful to. asoi'
him in the Senate as Reeder was in Kan
sas.
The prospect of eiecting such men a
Gen. s. to the United, States Senate, vii
greatly encourage Southern people to conn
10 our help; and every slase State, ans
particularly Missouri. not only in the elec
tion of Senators, but in all political move
should make every other consideration sub
servsent TO the Accomplishment of one 90
