acting Governors Stanton) proc amAton for the holding

hero.
And now for few common sense suggestions. We are
improving. We grow moro amiable grow older
We call stealing " PRESSING" murder Gan unfortunate
affair have almost forgotten, exceptn good naured
way those very severe Names border ruian and dog
CANNED aboitionists. No money makes vatve
or If money other equally benign influence for
which Heaven be praised.
Then, politically, true course lies In q nut shell
Kan must be af ee Nate-we mean must not because
personally but because are inclined believe
that certain given facts will work out equally certain
result For instance II nggers won't pay, people won't
keep them and people won't employ slave labor Kan
sas can never he pro slavery State but in Then,
too we inclined think that the free State
majority, will be when the constitution to be
of the national democracy of Kansas TO her free
State the time protect the slave property
here providing that and after the adoption of the State
constitution there shall be slaves introduced into Kansas
held there always excepting those owned belonging
active bona fde settlers In the Territory This would
protect the lave property owned In the Territory
the time settle the question for and for
age. The much vexed question OF slavery 10 Kansas,
Until is settled in the other we can hope for
but little, either in the way Of peace or progress
If the national democracy Of Kansas will unite upon
enable and conservative grounds they will gain po
cal victory universal credit from the moderate
of both parties If they will insist upon ultra pro sla
very constitution they will but weaken their patty
strength and suffer defeat at the hands Of the rcpubh
The events and policy Of the next ak months will
leave Kansas democratic republican, conservative
fanatical for years to come.
