certain Democratic editors that the kansa

swer the letter of the Connecticut fanatics
and in doing So he availcd himself of an op
portunity in which he could definitely ex
pain his position upon Kansas affairs, and
no longer leave the fanatics in doubt as &c
the course he should take. He has thus for

But to suppose that our State election i.
