than the politest terms
If spy person under whose eye this article may
fall and especially any citizen of the State Of New
York, should be inclined to believe that the cause
Of Freedom in Kansas is so safe in the hands of Mr.
Walker and under the guardianship of Mr.. Bucha
pan that we can afford, without danger, to ground
our arms, and to let the political control of the
State of New York pass into the hands Of the sham
Democratic party, we most earnestly entreat that
perfon and especially that citizen of New-York, to
read with care and attention the first of the letters
from cur Kansas correspondent, to be found in an
other column.
The famous suggestion Of Walker that at the
approaching Territorial election the whole people
of Kansas would have an opportunity to give ex-
preston and efficiency to their political opinions
that suggestion already fouly broken to the sense
by the late malignant and gerpmanderring appOr-
tiopment evidently and expressly designed to de-
prive that half of the Territory inhabited ex-
cusively by Free.State men of anything but
merely nominal representation, while the other
districts are so arranged rs not only 10 give the
greatest weight to the ProSavery residents, but to
provide every district at the same time with back
door OF front door adjoining Missouri for the con.
venience Of Border. Ruffian invasiOn;-ths sugses.
ton of Walkers thus broken to the sense, he and
his organs are now attempting to break to the ear
also, by setting up pretended printers blundcr in
the omission Of an "only," by which, as it is
alleged, the Governors suggestion about the right
of voting, as it appeared in print was made much
more sweeping than that which he actually uttered
Unfortunately, however, for th, new version OF
Walkers speech he was not content with merely
suggesting the dea--he smpli6ed upon it; and
though the "only' which it is now proposed to
interpoate into his speech might help him as to the
first sentence in which be touches on the subject, it
does not help hin at all as to what followed.
This attempt of Walker and bis organs to relieve
him of the odium of broken promise by means OF
an ntei polation must indeed be set down as very
Door and weak invention; and yet the thing is very
significant. It is evident that not the slightest
reliance is to be placed on any Of tho fine promises
mace from time to time by Walker and his news
psper organs to the Free State men, whether in
the Territory or out of it. However awkward and
barefaced this resort to misreports and msprlnts
NAV be- it is st an abundant resource for entirely
nuliyiDg any Of Walkers professions or
promises so often as occasion may recur; aud
such occasion viii recur SO often as any of
these promises or professions come into conflict
with the bogus policy. The very best that can be
,aid of Walker and buchanan is that their inclina-
tions perhaps may be with the Free-State men.
Al tie same time, all their actions are decidedly
with the bogus party. Nothing is to be expected
from them toward making Kansas Free State.
So far from that there the strongest reasons for
anticipating that the whole weight Of Federal au-
thority and influence will be thrown into the other
scale. Whether or not Kansas shall remain open
TO free labor depends exclusively-frst upon the
Free-State men in the Territory; and, sec.
ondly. upon the Free-State men out of
It. Unfortunately, the FreeState men in
the Territory, as will be .een BY one of the letters
which We publish to-day, are not perfectly united.
However plainly it might have been the policy of
The State men to have taken part as body in
the approaching Territorial election, provided they
could have had fair apportOnment, the outrageous
sprortonment actually made surrounds the subject
With dificultier. The more ardent and thorough.
going Free State men sre substantially dsfrauc hsed
BY that apportionmert. In that part Of the Ter
r:ory to which the great bulk of the representation
has been assigned, though the Free-Ststs men have
majority Of residents, yet, in considerable num-
Der of the districts, that majority is made up in
part of tio,e who still call themselves Democrats;
and, as will be seen BY one f cur correspondents
letters. efforts are being made to bring about CO.
ALTON between the Walker men, the Free-State
Democrats, and the mere timid and hesitating por
ton Of the other section of the FreeState party.
Under these diff ,ult circumstances, with troops
qusrtered upon them, divided to q certain extent
among themselves, snd barissed by legal prosecu-
tons, it will rot do to leave the Free State men
| .f Kansas TO 6aht out this battle alone. They
must be stroply backed and supported in every
Free State II bas been the loud protest from this
quarter seapst the frauds, voler ces and ihiquties
rerrt'ra,ed in Ksnsas, that has alone prevented
