UPPER sANDUSKY, o.
Kansas Politics Falsehoods Of the
pro.Slayerv Press.

Pro-Slavery Press.
It is known to our readers that the Free
State party of Kansas assembled in State
Convention in March last, and after full
and fair expression of opinion, resolved
to take no part in the election for dele
gates to Constitutional Convention. in
itiated by the Bogus Legislature but to
let the Border Ruffians have it all TO them
selves. This course was adopted by the
freemen of the Territory without any out
side interference, and simply by their own
volition. Yet. the Border Rufian press in
the Free States are now seeking to create
the impression that such action was promp-
ted by the Republicans, for the. purpose
of preventing the adjustment OF the slave
ry question in Kansas. Never was ba-
ser falsehood uttered; and well do the ly.
ing doughfaces know it. The Republi-
cans of the Free States have been content
ed to leave the freemen of Kansas de-
termine their course in this matter, believ.
ing that they understood their duty bette,
than those who were away from the scene
of action.
We believe the freemen of Kansa:
have done right in declining to participate
in this bogus election. They have refus
ed, from the very commencement of thu
difficulties. to recognize the authority o
the Missouri elected bogus legislature, O.
the validity of its pretended laws-why
should they face about now? Has tn,
rule of the rufians become any more tol
erable--any less odious? Have the1
shown the least disposition to depar
from the course heretofore pursued, ant
to have fair expression of opinion at th,
election in June? Not at all. These bo
gus officials, having arranged everything
to suit themselves-appointed pro- SLAYER,
judges to control the election-exeluGet
large numbers of Free State men from tn,
voting lists-designated as voting place
Lecompton and three or four other OBJ
scure points remote from the Free Stat,
settleme would doubtless be glad t.
have few Free State men participate il
their election to give some show of respec
liability to the affair. Neither is it surpris
ing that the border ruffian press of tn
States should desire the Free State mel
to vote at the bogus election, for the,
could then taunt them with having recog
nized the bogus authorities, and deman'
of them to acquiesce in the result. Th
freemen of Kansas have wisely determin
ed no; to be caught in this trap. In al
address they have just issued to the Peo
pie of the United States, after alluding t
| their determination not to vote at the un
election, they say:
Late developments have proved tn
wisdom of this policy, for, by the lists o
qualified electors returned by the sheriff
of the different Counties, thousands {
Frec-State voters have been ignored
while the names of numerous unknow
and mythical individuals are entered a
qualified electors" All the machner
of the election is to be controlled by Pre-
Slavery partisans, and it would be suic
dal for the Free State party to go into a
election in the face of such odds, and wit
their past experience.

The Grain Prospect.

The Chicago Democrat of last week
says: "The discovery has recently been
made that the VESTS very short of grain
that there is little comparatively in first
or second hands. Whether this is or is
not reality, or whether it is device to
raise the price of grain, we are not fully
assured. 1t was understood, last fall,
that more than average crop of wheat
and corn had been secured; and as the for
eign demand has been limited during the
year, the question arises as to what has
become oft? At the same time, we have
promulgated the impression of pretty
general failure of the growing crop oI
grain in the Western States. This, coup
led with the cold and backward Spring,
contingent, has caused prices to stiffen
throughout the country. It may be that
the country is short of grain. but if high
prices do not cause an abundant supply to
leap forth from the granaries of the farm
ers and the warehouses of the middlemen.
we are greatly mistaken. A great deal
an unusual quantity Of corn, it is true
has been destroyed by the distillers DUR
ing the past year-but this would scarce
" affect the aggregate sufficiently to cause
scarcity. We advise the consumers, at
least. to wait while and see what is to
come OF the supposed scarcity. We have
always noticed that these reports of a
shortness in grain do not get publicity un-
I'll the crop has mainly passed out of the
hands ofthe producers and has been hoard
ed by the middlemen. A few weeks will
test the truth of the reports which have
been recently set ahoat.''
