Peirg once citizen Of Platte County, and

to give you the maiu points of the remarkable sfsir
Mr. Able. after thanking the people for caliog upon
him. said that he had frequently heard it charsed that
the Pro.Savery men in Kansas had sold out to
the Free State men. This was false, and he
wished to state the position Of the Pfo-Savery
men of Kansas, 20 that their friends in Mis-
.ouri might see into their plans aud policy. They
had not abandoned the idea Of making Kansas
Slave State by g.ful; the contrary, they We're
gre atty encouraged aud he took this occasion TO say
to Pro- Slavery that the prospects OF the party Ia

misunderstanding in Missouri in regard to thu party in
Kansas, AID be would give history OF tue pa'y
and its policy, for he knew all about IT, In the nrst
place, he ssid, they organized the party under
the name of the Pro-Slavery party and It worked wen
because il brought all men who were In favor OF the
South into solid, compact body. As time passed
on great many perftn came into the Territory from
the Northern States who were not ProSavery in their
feelings but who against the Free-State men III

order 70 get this class of Northern men 10 act with
them, the ProSlavery party agreed, after consqIta-
ton, to change the name OF the party from PfO-
Slavery to the Law-and-Order party. This 4nge OF
names had happy effect because it brought good

He had written call for delegates from oil the coun-
ties in the Territory to assemble in Lecompton last
Winter, and they did meet and deliberate upon the
future action of the party. A great many men had
moved into the Territory FROM the Northern States
who had voted for Mr.. Buchanan, aud who were OPP
posed to the Black Republicans and Pro-Slavery
to proptate THE class of men. 1t was admitted 10
their deliberations that the name of Law-and. Order

name Of the party must be changed. 1t was admitted

deemed unwise TO assume the name of Americans or
Know. NothiDgs, for that party had been able TO
and must soon die out. Alter viewing the
whole ground, it was agreed that the party should
change its name from the Lawand Order party to that
of the National Democracy. The Democrats had just
ele ced the President, and would have majority in
Congress, aud if the Pro Slavery party in Kansas
should assume the name of National Democracy, it
would bring them into favor with the Administration
and with Congress, and at the same time secure to
their party the services of the FreeSate Democrats
frem the Northern States. Time has proved that this
was good move, and great advantage would result
to the party from it. This was the history of the Pro-
Slavery party IL Kansas, and under all its names it
had remained sound the goose and the charge that
the Pro- Slavery men in Kansas had sold out to the
Free Soilers UNANIMOUSLY false lie was glad to
inform the ProSlavery men of Platte that the pros
poets of the party bright and that If we will do
our duty in the future as well as we have done it in
the past, success certain.
In reg ard TO Governor Walker, he said he did not
nd0rse rythng he had said but was not prepared
to take grounds against him yet Walker was good
manager end a keen man, aud he thought he UNDER
stood him. He believed when Walker held his secret
councils with the President and his Cabinet that they
were chalkipg out policy for Kansas The people
should remember, said he, that majority of the Cab.
met were Southern men, and he believed that d'kers
trip to the NOrthe States after his consultations with
the President and all his talk North about Kansas be-
coming Free State, had design in it. The object
was TO get himself Endorsed by the Northern Press and
the Free State papers in Kansas, and after he had
succeeded in this be could put Gown the Free State
men in Kansas by the strong arm of the Government
and point to his Endorsement by the Northern Press
and the Free State Press in Kansas for his ustica-
ton. He believed in Walker, though he would not
iDdorse him fully and believed that he could be man
aged very easily In regard to the nomination OF ex-
Governor Ramon for Congress, in Kansas, he re-
garded this the Of policy they had yet DONE
II was a capital move. He would get the Democrats
from the Northern States to man. Ransom Was

and he must not be suspected by the Pro'Siavery
men.
Mr. Buchanan and his Administration were to come

blow him and his Administration into ten thousand
pieces. They should DO right the National Demo-

sanguine about the soundness of Mr.. Buchanan, and
knew he had to do right or be blown up.
The National Democracy had elected large major

cry Constitution would be made, and he believed that
II would be submitted 10 vote of all the people that
in the Territory &C rtain day, OF which due
notice would be given TO the people Of Missouri.
When that was done, the people must protect their
slave property, and get up the same feeling they
once had up, and that election would be carried as
easily as they had carried any of the other elections.
The Free State in Kansas were resting under the
belief that they had large Orty in the Territory,
which was fact, but they were not on their guard

certain. He knew more about Kansas and the Pro-
Slavery party than any one else. He had spent a
large sum Of his money, and raised great deal
from Others all for the in Kansas and protested
