end the country was hastenias! Alone
and single-handed we resolved to stem
the impetuous current, and beat down the
proscribers, or sink beneath the turbid
wave. The struggle has been bitter and
protracted What has been the results
The first daa1dng of new era-or rather,
an old one reviyed-was observed at Cen
tropolis two weeks ago. The lance ofthe
enemy was broken there, and the cohorts
of despotism were, for the frst time, van
quished by the PEOPLE. At Judge SPI-
GERS, with new recruits they entered the
field, but their zeal to crush out Others
crushed ttemselvesi The PEOPLE, in Mass
Convention, and in Delegate Convention,
at Grasshopper Falls, on the 26th ult.,
| spoke eloquently, and to the point. Look
over the names which figured there, and
see the result! Without stepping to dis
cuss on the ground their line of policy, but
listening patiently to all the arguments
/! which its opponents could bring aginst it,
they decided the matter for themselves.
The line of policy for which we have
been branded as traitor to our party for
advocating, and for which we have been
| read out of the Free State party of Kan
| sas by the letter-aoriters aboue enumerated,
has gloriously triumphed, and Chas. Rob
inson, who sustained this policy at Grass
hopper, was charged with SELLING out to
Gov. Walker" for daring, on that occa-
sion, to go with the popular current.
| We published an editorial, some time
ago, on the Tyranny of Party Who
has not seen it and felt it in Kansas? We
said an old era was revived at Grassh,pper
Falls. Look over the names conspicuous
at that Convention. Up again comes Lane
and Smith, Schuyler, and Holiday, and
Parrot, and Goodin, and Brown.old men,
bers Of the Executive Committee of Kan
sas; and there, too, is Davis, and Miller,
and Elliott; and there is Roberts, and Pom
eroy; all,all cooperating heartily in favor
of the same line of policy, and that the
line of policy which has been branded al
over the Union as ga betrayal of the
cause of freedom" and "backing ,lowr
frosn our former proud position Thani
heaven it is the line of policy which
common sense dictates; which the people
everywhere approve; which will giv'
Kansas to freedom, and hasten the day
when the letter-writers of Kansas, wht
have cursed US SO long with their pres
ence, can be spared without injury to th'
cause.

Mail Routes,

The Mail Routes in Kansas need an
entire rearrangement. With the excep-
ton of the principal routes east and west,
they were established before. the present
numerous towns and roads were made.
The routes into the interior were on some
old Indian trail or Buffalo path, and where
they happen TO hit house or a town
there they have Post Office. Usually,
the mail is carried on horseback, and is
very insufficient and irregular. Towns
and settlements, from ten to sixty miles
from Lawrence keep boxes in the Post
Office here, and send for their mail matter
weekly. With but little more expense
than is incurred by the department at
present the whole interior population of
Kansas might be accommodated. There
is daily mail stage from Leavenworth to
Lawrence, and a mail only once week.
These are cities of several thousand in
habitants. The same with Delaware.
Wyandott, and Quindaro.
The mail routes should also radiate
from the principal business centers in
Kansas instead of Independence or West
port as at present.
The Kansas herald of freedom., 1857-09-05

Or We see by reference to the stat
utes, just published. ofthe last Territorial
Legislature, that the official acts of E. D.
LApD, as Register of deeds for the city of
Lawrence, and the books of Registry kept
by him, are legalized, and made evidence
in all courts of law and equity of the
transfer of titles in said city of Lawrence.
1t is also made the duty of all persons to
have their transfers of titles registered in
mis- Office until such time as the fee SIM
pie to said town lots shall be obtained
from the government, when the said re-
cords shall be placed in the Recorders
Office Of the county.
The statute also provides that ano pre-
ference shall be given TO any person By
reason Of prior registry iR~said books Of
record up to this time. where two or
more persons may have a deed to the
same ios: but those of the oldest in date
shall tai precedence. This act to be n
force from aud after the 1st Of March.

The crss.hOppe. Falls Convention.

We give on our first page this week the
proceedings at length of the Grasshopper
Falls Convention, which closed its delib-
erations on the evening of the 26th ult.-
It's action was harmonious, and the result
what every friend of the cause who took
proper view of the question desired
When it is considered that majority OF
the speeches were against going into the
October election, and that every possible
means was used to defeat that policy, yet
to see the people adopting it by acclama-
ton, is evidence that the masses were right
of thcmselves-were independent think
ers-and built their convictions upon no
mans dietum.
Westated that the iCentropolis Conyen-
ton had inaugurated a "new era." The
Grasshopper Falls Convention has fully
established that era. The right has tri
umphed and the PEOPLE are sovereign;
the days of demagogueism have ended to
make room for the masses. Let them
see, hereafter, that they arc notrobbed of
the authority to rule by intriguing politi-
clans who are seeking for place and posi-
tion.
The struggle to wrest the sceptre from
the hands of those who were welding it
to the injury of the cause of freedom, has
been protracted, and every inch of ground
has been warmly contested, but the end
is-wbat every friend of the cause has so
ardently desired.
We cordially congratulate the people
upon the result of their action-so har-
monious, and promising such glorious re-
suits. They have now only to meet the
open, undisguised enemies of the cause
and wrest from them the spear and shield
and turn them upon those who have been
striking such fatal blows upon Liberty.
The resolution reported by the Business
Committee and adopted by the Conven.
ton, in place Of the one presented by Mr.
Phillips, is rather equivoeal, and evident
ly intended to meet every shade of opin
ion. We, who think farther effort to ge
the Topeka Constitution adopted by Con
greSs is labor thrown away, are very vii
ling to use all Legitimate means to ge
into the Union under that Constitution
while those who, living or dead, are wrap
ped up in that document, and who's
hopes of happiness are all centered there
can only expect to accomplish something
by proceeding in a legitimate way. 1t wa
a good dodge, and the country will applau
the committee for their ingenuity in pass
ing over question, ,on which variety {
opinion was entertained, without at a
meeting the question at issue.

Our Candidate for Congress,

Itgives us pleasure place at the head
of our columns this week the name of
MARCUS j. PARROT, ESQ.,, as our candi-
date for. Congress, TO be supported by the
freemen of Kansas at theOctober election.
Mr.. Parrot is gentleman well qualified
for the position he occupies. He is ma
tive of South Carolina and graduate
of the law school at Harvard, in 1862 =
He opened law Office in Dayton, Ohio,
where he established reputation as a
successful lawyer, and was elected to the
office of prosecuting attorney for Mont
gomcry county, which post he filled to
the entire satisfaction of his constituents.
He was also elected to the Legislature of
that State.
In the spring Of 1856 he came to Kan
sas. and had the pleasure of casting his
fiTst vote in the Territory for the Free
State candidates for members of the Ter
ritoriai Legislature, at the election held
on the 22d of MAY, of that year, under
the proclamation of Gov. Reeder.
We had the honor of forming his ac-
quaintance on his first arrival in Kansas.
We remember with Qualification his m
disnant expressions as we gave him re-
cital of the outrages upon the rights Oft the
people by foreign invaders on the Both of
March preceding. and his resolution to
cast his destinies with us and erase that
foul wrong. From that time to the pres
ent he has been consistent in his hostility
to the sncroachments of the slave power,
never turning from the path of duty be-
cause of the threats of his enemies.
As lawyer Mr. PARROT stands at the
head of his profession. He has served as
counsel for nearly all the Free State pris-
oneEs, when in custody; and has always
given the fullest satisfaction, for his abil-
ity, discretion and energy As an orator
he has but few if any equals in Kansas,
and his speeches, wherever made, are al
ways listened to with the deepest inter
est.
That Mr. P. will be elected to seat in
the next Congress by an overwhelming
majority, we do not doubt. and it viii be
no fault Of his natural ability or education
ifhe does not fill it to the honor and per-
feet satisfaction of all his constituents. To
make the moral effect Of mis- election as
great as possible, every Free State voter
in Kansas should not only be in attend
ance himself, but he should see that his
neighbor is there; and he should see, too.
that there S no illegal voting, either for
or against him. If frauds are to be perpe-
trased, let them come from the other side
of the house, and let his friends take
measures By which these frauds can be
aseertained and exposed 10 their fullest
extent.
The Kansas herald of freedom., 1857-09-05

Resoiped, That we kindly thank Gov.
Walker for his frank admission just quo
ted, and that we will shape DIR c5hrse
and action In Kansas accordingly.
WHEREAS, The so-called "Territorial
Legislature'' at its last session did in yio-
iation of their own laws; enact law lo-
eating the County seat of this County at
the town of Shannon" and whereas, .
large majority of the citizens Of this Coun-
tv are opposed to the said location and in
favor of the submission Of all matters per-
tanning to the interests OF this County.
such as the selection of a County seat, the
erection of buildings, and the appointment
of all County officers to the voice OF
majority of the citizens of the County,
and not through Commissioners as proyi-
ded by said laws.
WHEREAS, Said location has been made
without the knowledge or consent OF a
majority of the citizens of this County,
and whereas, minority of our citizens
have this day sanctioned the location OF
the County seat by nominating candidates
for County officers, professedly under SAID
Territorial laws, whilst they are violating
them by a nomination of persons as CAN
didates to fill offices which are not elective
under those lawsI therefore.
! Resoluef, That we hereby. repudiate
their acts as tendingto the disturbance OF
the peace OF this County, and that the
question of the location Of the County seat
should be deferred till Kansas shall be
admitted as State and that then it should
be decided by majority of the citizens
of the County after submission to full
vote.
WHEREAS, The new apportionment and
the attempt under it to disfranehise nine
teen counties (of which we are one) gives
us Just reason to believe that the future
will be as the past has been, marked by
injustice and determination on the par
of those who profess 70 act tnder the So
called Territorial laws, TO deprive Us o.
full and fair representation; therefore,
I ResoEred, That committee of five per-
sons be appointed by the Chairman tC
make arrangements to obtain an expires.
sion of the citizens of that portion of Kan
sas and to obtain, if deemed practicable
a nomination of persons to fully represen

Territorial Legislature.

vey and Addingtop were chosen said Com
On iAotiohof Mr. Jtackman, it was

S. P. HAND, See'y.
The Kansas herald of freedom., 1857-09-05

OF The vote for the Topeka Constitu-
ton in Kansas seems TO meet with little
opposition. The Herald of Freedom has
claimed that large majority of the peo-
pie were against it, but the vote shows to
the contrary. In Lawrence the vote
stood: for the Constitution, 652; against
it2.
We have never stated that majority
of the people of Kansas were opposed to
the Topeka Constitution; but we did say
they were opposed to further action un-
der it, to the exclusion of all other ac-
ton in other directions, and so the peo-
pie have decided We cast our own
vote, as did every hand in our Office, for
the Topeka Constitution, not with the ex-
pectaiion of accomplishing any good by
it, further than to show a united front of
the party, and with the view of approx
mating as near as possible to our numcri-
cal strength in The Territory; hut We are
SATISFIED thousands kept away from the
POLLS who would have voted very cheer
fully for that document, had they enter
tanned the most distant hope that any
thing practicable could be accomplished
