BLACK REPUBLICANIsN.

Presidential election. The blood, as If
s by miracle, ceased to flow, and all indi-
Gated quiet, harmony and repose. This
state of things continued long, and the
public had begun to indulge the hope
that they never would again be disgust
ed and n~auseated with the manufactur-
ed details of fictitious fights and imagi-
nary outrages of border rufianism.-
And indeed it was reasonable to suppose
that the tact and ingenuity of the man
! ayers of the machinery of Black Re
publicanism, would certainly leave the
old worn put of last campaign in the
deep oblivion to which it seemed to
have fallen. But it appears not. Their
inventive powers are at fault, or else
they consider that the best mode by
which to excite the weak and excess
lively conscientious portion of the peo-
pie of the North, and, as the fall cleo
tons approach, the demon of discord is
again gradually dashed into a frenzy in
hat-devoted Territory, Managers are
sent out from the East with Immigrant
GAidh funds in their pockets-perhaps
some Of the Ohio Treasury-to direct
tho energies of the people from the le-
q ultimate purposes of emigration, The
Neuo York Times assume again the
functions of dictator, and demands ano-
Their Kansas crusade against the Fede-
raj government. The spurious Cover
nor Robinson issues his call for the or
ganization of the Topeka Government,
delivers his message, and the mock Leg
e ~islature goes to work, in utter contempt
of the laws of Congress, the constitu-
tienal powers of the President of the
United States and those of the Terrific
rial Governor, Walker. These hired
and hypocritical agitators, in obedience
to the command of Greeley, Seward,
Chase, and other Abolitionists, whose
sole hopes of political success, depend
upon the quantity of excitement man
ufactured in Kansas and elsewhere in
the North, proceed very gravely to re-
affirm the Topeka constitution and to
declare that Kansas shall be admitted
into the Union, by Congress, on that
instrument. This was all done after
these pretended Free State men refused
to vote for Delegates to the Constitu-
tional Convention authorized by the act
of Congress, now in session, and in the
face of the almost positive certainty Of
slavery being repudiated. But this is
thesvery thing the wire-working intri-
guers don't want. They don't want
that question settled for their oeeupa-
ton would be gone. The evidence is
conclusive of this. Last spring, before
the election for Delegates took place,
and when the fact was admitted and no
torious that there were ten Free State
settlers to one pro slavery man, and, as
a consequence, that the Black Republi-
cans had every thing in their own hands,
the Tribune, the head organ of the par
ty, commanded the Free State men not
to vote, and accordingly they did not
vote. After dragging that issue out of
Kansas last fall, and submitting it to
the people of the United States at the
Presidential elections and bowling over
freedom in Kansas, ike maniacs, when
the question legitimately came before
the people of that Territory, they are
Instructed by New York politicians not
to vote for freedom, but to remain ST
lent, and, by application, give thei1
support against it. Is it not a singular
and incomprehensible state of things
The North supporting Fremont, to Sc
cure freedom to 'bleeding kansas
the south supporting Buchanan tc
make it a slave State Fremont is de,
feated and Buchanan is elected, and
now the Northern leaders are striving
to bring in Kansas.a slave State, and
Mr.. Buchanan is laboring to induce
< Kansas to accept a free constitution
So, after all the fuss, it is pretty mani
fest that KANSAS viii be indebted
to Northern freedom shriekers for free
dom. Their policy seems now, to ag-
grayate a collision between the Black
Republican part1inthat Territory and
the Federal G~oTernment, break up the
regular constitutional convention, and
then carry the intensified excitement
into the next Congress, by which they
hope to convulse the nation and per
haps sever the Union. In furtherence
of this grand project, the head quarters
of the mercenary agitators, Lawrence,
has already assumed an attitude of in
sipient rebellion, and stands defiant OF
the authority of the lawful Governor,
Walker, who has a large force of Uni
ted States troops at his command, who,
perhaps, by this time, have been forced
to quell the rebels with the ~bayonet.
Black Republicanism, as it defines it
self, means resistance to all laws that
do not square by its peculiar opinions,
and especial hostility to the Federal
