The Herald of Freedom out for Walker.
I The Cleveland Plain Deale. says that
the Era, Times and other leading Free
| Soil journals have all the time been argu-
ing in favor of the Free State men III
Kansas voting at the late election, not
withstanding the advice of Chase. Greeley
& CO. to the contrary. The Herald Of
Freedom, the leading Free State paper OF
Kansas, does not freely endorse the idea
of voting at this preliminary election, but
goes in strong for voting on the adoption
of the Constitution when submitted to the
people. This Herald out circnlates al
other Free State papers in the Territory
and it is backed by all the honest conser
vative influences of that party i'll the Ter
ritory and out. Its position is one thai
will end all this Fusion fillibustering il
/ Kansas and elsewhere. Hear it:
Gov. Walker unequivocally tells us that
the Constitution framed shall be submit
ted to vote of the whole people, no
those whose names are registered; OF
those who have been residents six months
but those who are residents when the Con
:! stitution is submitted to a vote of tht
people. 1t shall be submitted, not BY
parts only, but as an entirety, and as sucl
it shall be voted upon, and as such it shal
be rejected or adopted.
4 The people will vote at that election
We shall vote, and no political conven
ton shall tie up our hands SO as to pre-
vent US from voting. And our friends
shall vote, if they choose to, and they
shall not be read out of the Free State
party, either for voting, though densagogue'
do command differently. How we shall
vote is another affair-one which we dc
not care to make public now.
IF the Constitution is adopted by a vote
of all the people who are now or may bt
at that time residents of Kansas, it vii
be less exceptionable than is the Topeka
i Constitution If, on the contrary, it il
defeated, we have not shadow of doub
but Gov. Walker, with an ardent desire
to have this question tiled pacifcaly, ant
by the people, should they demand or re
quest 1t by public meetings and in privatt
assemblies will call new Convention, al
ter taking new census under his owl
supervision and he allow the whole people
to elect from the different Localities, gov
erned only by the organic act, new dele
gates, who will meet in convention ant
frame State Constitution which will NEE
the approval of the absolute, bona tid
residents of the Territory.
i We say we have not o doubt that Gov
Walker win pursue this policy, so pacific
and satisfactory in its consequence, ant
we are further honest in the conviction
that that Constitution, thus formed, if
be accepted by majority of the people
ii after being submitted to them, wiz receiv'
his cordial support, though 1t be tn
Topeka Constitution re-adopted, and tha
, he will use all his official influence, pub
t licly and privately, to secure its adoption
: by Congress.
, If this is Gov. Walkers policy, or
: he win carry out this happy idea, our fu
