The Peopls Aroused.

A Mass Convention of the People of
Kansas will be held at Leavenworth on
Friday, the 9th inst, TO take into con-
sideration the present crisis in our Terri
torial affairs, and devise plan of action
in the exigency.
A Young Mems Mass Convention viii
be held in the same place, on Saturday
evening, the 18th inst, to consider the
same subject. The times demand ener-
getie, thorough action, and the people

Our friends in the States need give
themselves no uneasiness in regard to our
future. We know our rights, and the
late election, in defiance of the frauds, has
taught us our strength! We are united to
man, and as true as there is God sos

power, and the emissaries of the internal

The Southern Press on Gov. Walker.

The southern press are very severe up
on Gov. WALKER and Sec'y STANTON for
rejecting the Oxford and McGee county
frauds. The Richmond South talks as fol-
lows
"Governor Walker was sent to Kansas
to execute the law of that Territory until
its people should adopt Constitutions Tor
themselves. His appointment was tenn
porary. He was limited to a special pur-
pose. To Gov. Walker it should have
been d matter of official indifference
whether the Free Soil or Pro- slavery party
succeeded in intoxicating their particular
opinions upon the institutions of the
State. What has he done? Under the
limited power of Territorial Governor,
he has undertaken to decide upon the
qualifications of the voters of Kansas
He has thus invaded the judicial prerog-
alive; he has designated the members of
the Legislature, and exercised the power
of distinct department of government.
He has thus combined in his own person
the exercise of all those powers whose
separate exercise has been held by every
Republican essential to the freedom of
the people and the integrity of the State.
But this designation of the Legislature by
Governor Walker presents an unusual
abuse of power He is not an officer eho-
sen by the people of Kansas. He is not
coordinate with the Legislature. He
cannot be responsible TO the people of
Kansas for any violation of their rights.
On the contrary, he is but an employee of
the Federal Government, empowered to
see that the laws of Congress are carried
into effect, and that there shall be neither
resistance nor evasion of their authority"
The Kansas herald of freedom., 1857-11-21
Exposure of their villainv.

A Free State friend, who had good OPP
portunity of knowing, says that there
were but few illegal votes polled at Kick
apoo; that many members of the Pro-
slavery party were up from Leavenworth,
and other places in the county, and
voted, and that schea the polls lcs,e closed,
only about 500 votes were cast, but as the
returns came in from other portions of the
county, other names were added until
they equaIled zoo. Still lacking the
requisite number to serve that county,
and wishing TO put the matter beyond
doubt, some 218 additional names were
added, making 918, we believe, in ALL
By this means the villains succeeded in
their plans. for the time being; but the
Legislature viii purge those frauds, and
show them up to an astonished public
Even Border Rufians viii stand aghast
when they see an honest exposure of the
yillainy of their own party.

A Mistake,

The Herald of Freedom, published at
Lawrence, is out in two-column article,
defending the right of the soldiers to
vote, and stating, among other reasons,
iustifying their action, that they all voted
'the Free State ticket!''- Cleveland Plain
dealer.
The Herald Of Freedom stated no such
thing. Instead of defending the night of
soldiers to vote, We stated Gov. Walkers
views, as he argued at Fort Leavenworth
on that question. Instead of saying the
soldiers all voted the Free State ticket,
we stated that Lieut.. CARR stated that
representations were made to Gov. w ak
er that few soldiers had voted in the
earlier part of the day, the Free State
ticket, and that Gov. w. was applied to
for his views in regard to soldiers voting.
with the view, as claimed, to counteract
the Free State vote already polled. VIII
the PIaindealer correct its statement?

VIVA, We voula have dons.

A correspondent of the St. Louis Re-
publican, writing from Lecomlton, or the
9th inst, who seems TO be in the conf
dence of the Calhoun faction of the bzs-
tard Constitutional Convention, and an
endorser of that policy, says:
Elmore and friends are for placing the
Constitution and the separate clauses all
before the people, the only result of which
would be that it would be voted down By
the Abolitionists, although it secured free
State institutions. such is their opposition
to conservative action and their adherence
to theirreyolutionary Topeka instrument
That correspondent tells the truth, thai
the abolitionists," alias the People,
would vote down that Constitution if sub
mitted to them. 1t was to prevent the
majority from ruling, that those infamous
means were concocted. The m&Onf!
should see that the conspirator in thsi
deyilish work are taught better than TO
trifie with the liberties Of State.
The Kansas herald of freedom., 1857-11-21

the Lecompton Convention, without the
sanction of the people. and in violation of
Federal authority, is dangerous to the in
terests and peace of Kansas, and the most
extraordinary occasion that could demand
the prompt action of the Legislative and
Executive departments Of the government.
Resolaed, That We have reasons to ex-
pect from the Territorial Executive an
immed late call for special session of
the Territorial Legislature but should
the promises given Us from that quarter
fail, we hereby respectfully suggest to
Gov. Chas. Robinson the propriety of
calling special session of the State Leg
islature at the earliest moment.
The following resolution was also offered
and passed unanimously:
Resolued, That we recommend the ap-
pointment of Young Mems Local Vigi-
lance Committee, and that we pledge our
selves to respond to the calls, and sustain
the action Of that Committee, whatever
it may be.
Gen. Lane offered the following
RESOLVED, That we viii meet the people
of Leavenworth in their Mass Convention
on the 9th inst.

Public Meeting.

In pursuance to a call of the Territorial
Executive Committee, the citizens Of
Greedy assembled on Tuesday, Nov. Ord,
1857, FOR the purpose of repudiating the
action of the bogus Constitutional Con-
vention.
At one o'clock p. N. the meeting was
organized by the election of VIM. c. Nc
Dow. Esq, Chairman, and Benz. +. Smith
Secretary.
W. Y. Nichols, Esq, being called up
on, read the call Of the Territorial Execu-
tive Committee, TO the people Of Kansas,
and made some whitening remarks in re-
gard to the course pursued by the so cali
ed Constitutional Convention.
On motion, the resolutions Of the Mass
Convention assembled in Leeompton on
the 10Th Of October last, were adopted by
reclamation.
On motion of Mr.. BENJAMIN, it was or
dered that copy of these proceedings be
published in the Lawrence papers. The
meeting thereupon adjourned.

Scarcity of Money.

There are 2OO,OOO claims in Kansas to
be paid for at the rate of $500 for each
claim. This will take 100000, a
stream of money running into the Land
Office, sufficiently large to keep the coun-
try poor for several years to come.
It is estimated that there are now
10000 families in the Territory, nearly
all of whom are supplied with -four and
meat from Missouri and other States at
an annual expense of not less than
$4,000. All dry goods, groceries, fur
niture. hardware. crockery, and clothing,
amounting to nearly as much more, must
be paid for in cash, and sent out of the
country. Nearly all carriages, wagons,
plows, &c, amounting to very large
sum, are paid for in cash and the money
sent east. There are many other smaller
drains ramifying the country which are
well calculated to dry up any little surplus
fund lying in the hands of prudent farm
ers. All these things must be looked to,
met, and provided for in such manner
as TO produce no check to our prosperity,
or panic amongst the settlers. First, by
economy. This is virtue which the
people of Kansas are obliged to practice,
whether preached to on that subject or
not. The plainest of food and clothing
is the fashion everywhere.
I'd. Industry, like economy, is a ne
cessity which few can dispense with;
every man being his own servant, mechan-
ic, farmer or gardner.
Sd. The third suggestion to stop this
stream of money from running out of the
Territory, is to manufacture and produce
everything we need as soon as possible.
In the dearth of employment east, let
the laboring man and mechanic come
to the West. The country is fast filing
up with people and all of them need the
comforts and conveniences of civilized
life. Every house must have its furni-
ture. Is it not better to manufacture the
articles thus needed in our midst than to
send for them to distant State? Every
town should have a cabinet shop, a car
penter's shop, wagon and plow shop,
blacksmith shop, and boot and shoe
shop; and variety of other shops. The
people are here, but the mechanics are
not. Let them take notice; Kansas is
the place for them to make their fortunes;
not by play, OR idleness, or talking; but
by well directed and continuous effort
Come to Kansas-select a town, coun-
ty seat if possible, settle down, build
shop and start business, advertise, and
let the country know it. People in Kan
sas often go fifteen or twenty or more
miles to get a pillow sharpened. Other
work is equally difficult to obtain.
Female help is difficult to procure
Not one family in twenty, who would pay
girl ten or fifteen dollars per month and |
her board, can get one. 1t is safe to esti-
mate that there are ten times more men
in the Territory than women. Let daugh- |
tiers come with their fathers; young wo-
men with their brothers, and sweethearts I
with their lovers. There is abundance of |
work and good wages for all.
