THE REASONS WHY KANSAS SHOULD BLrrn

The history Of the past shows that the enemies n,
democracy resort TO two modes TO influence the nall
mindone by operating upon the necessities Of men
the other by misleading them. The former was resOr
with the hope Of securing recharter Of the Bank a.
United States by cramping its customers, and tbr0.
them the community. They sought TO control the wa, N
1912 by deprying the government, far possb, II
the means for its effective prosecution. Kansas matenh
afforded them opportunity to practise both mods
once They sought in Congress to starve the judge,
others in Kansas into action in conformity with n.
political wishes To secure this object they KNOWN, II
aud desiguedy defeated the appropriations for the
and adjourned without providing the means necs,,,
to enable it TO defend The frontiers where the In
ahawk and scalping-knife perform their bloody M
upon deenceless women and children. But the more m
mon means tsorted to for controlling the public min,
and securing political power is gross and reiterated dec
ton and fasehood. II is seldom that the opposition p
the action of democrats before the country in an bo
and truthful manner. Bad motives assigned for e,e
democratic act and results uniformly attributed I
them rather than their true causes. The truth Of AL
remarks has been strikingly illustrated in reatjo,
to the law organizing Kansas, and the events wtal3
have since occurred. Our adversares have atribus,

grossly misrepresented in that Territory K
sas was made to bleed for the benefit of northern pol
clans in their pursuit of popular favor. 1t was distant
from the ordinary travel of the country and there wa
small difficulty ia ascertaining the truth The repubp
leaders had their agents in Kansas who furnished accounts
of horrible occurrences required to meet the neeess
OF their employers. Many who had such agents manu.
featured news to suit the occasion in their own Offices
Poor Kansas was made bleed to order and the eoun
was deceived into the belief that the horrible
dies had occurred when nothing OF the kind had happened
Every wrong or crime that did occur was magni6d from
ten to hundred fold, and all charged to the democrs
and the Kansas law, when those making the charge
knew 1t TO be untrue. With great effort and much out
of money the scheme of deception kept up until al
the presidential election exercising much effect upon M
popular vote though failing in the object hoped for AA
this great exeron through the campaign the agtaios|
needed rest and quiet and yielded to the necessity
took BOTH But the fatal effects Of cessation ofheir DEL
cepive abors manifested themselves at the elections
An immense falling off Of the black-repubcan vote VIZ
shown in various quarters Those who had been decs,
and msled by the cries for bleeding Kansas when they
all was peace and quiet there fast deserving their ranks
and returning among their democratic friends Some
effort became necessary to rally their scattering forces An
unlucky exposure Of the ruling motive Of sundry black N
pubcans had occurred in the House Public attention
must lie turned from this exposure.
After much counseng here by the leaders, before and
the special session Of the Senate nothing could bedscov
cred holding out much promise Of favorable results
bleeding Kansas again. Hence it resolved that she
should BIZ cd. The mandate went FORTH and she was or.
dered to bleed and bleed she must The intention Of Gov
Geary to resign induced the belief that this could
be accomplished to an extent sufficient TO The
whole North and West and bring back to their ranks
those formerly drawn there by the cry of blood in
Kan7as. AS as Governor Geary left the Terri
tory, the evil work began. The Topeka faction put
themselves in motion Robinson, who resigned his mock
governorship nearly year since, has been induced
withdraw his letter Of resignation and assume the mock
cry once more The sham legislature and unauthorized
State government being again put in motion with tho
hope Of producing collision, and shedding sufficient
blood to the purposes of the distant leaders, whose
power and control must totally fail unless such
source save them This demonstration doubt
less contrved in this city and to be pushed forward with
zeal and energy until the dropping of the agos
shall be thoroughly revived.
The question is submitted to the people, whether
they will be again deceived by the hypocrca cry Of those
who bled Kansas to ORDER to promote their political ap
tons That Kansas would go smoothly and all would
remain in peace quiet and prosperity, as Gov Geary left
it If disturbed by outsiders all must fully understand
Men who love their country and desire its peace prosper
ity and happiness should their faces against this wicked
attempt at new agitation If they do promptly and
thoroughly Kansas will cease to bleed and become
populous prosperous, and happy sovereign State
THE PULPIT AND THE COURT.
We cut the following article from the New York Conn
mercial Its general views and its healthfu tone can
cally do we concur with the Commercial in putting aside
all the nespun theories Of modern reformers about the
duty of the pulpit and referring the whole subject to the
standard Of sense nThee is las the Commercial
says) "a view of the matter which finds is
support in the Judgment Of every honest rghtfeeng man
of ordinary intelligence which enlightened sense Of
right and iropriey approves which, eschewng all the
nice distinctions Of schools and casuists feels at what
accords with the Office and profession Of ,isty which
claims Divine commission and embassy to lost world
If every preacher would try his conduct by this common
standard the number of political preachers in the
country would be essentially diminished;
