We publish to-day, from an extra vi i"e gum,
yo.o rt;uJo,,o, an account Of two important
Conventions. held at Grasshopper Falls IN Kansas
| ON +,o ocs Of August. One of these was Dele
.,to conv,Dtion, attended by hundred and sixty
tk,.o deeeates, and held for the purpose Of nom-
mating a delegate to represent the Territory in
Congress at the ensuing October election. Marcus
7 Psrett, of Leayenworth, was nomnsted by ac.
elsmation, being the only candidate named. He
| accented the nomination and addressed the Con-
,ention on the importance of the issues involved in
be pending election
On motion of General Lane, an Executive Com
nittee of twenty was appointed to take charge of
tbe election on which were placed we'll known rep
resentatiyes Of all shades of Free. State opinion.
resolution was also adopted recommending the
citizens of each voting precinct to appoint Com
nittee of three responsible men to record all votes
offered, and where there is refusal the reasons of
il This is an excellent provision, which we hope
viii be universally adopted and carried out. The
IDOwledge that record is kept of all their frauds
| ud rascalites will be great check on the bogus
ehcers who will be appointed to preside over the
election.
The other Convention, held on The same day, was
aMsss Convention, composed of about five hundred
persons from all parts Of the Territory, met, not in
III. character Of Convention of the Free-State
party, but simply in that of Convention of the
citizens of Kansas. At this Convention the question
was discussed with great earnestness, though appa.
rently without undue warmth or excitement, of the
policy ofvoting at the ensuing Territorial election
Committee of Business Of twenty-five, geographi-
csly distributed, so as 10 fairly represent all parts
d the Territory, was appointed, of which General
Lane was chairman. This Committee reported in
hvOr of voting That policy was opposed by James
Redpath, Judge Conway, Mr.. Phillips (our intelli-
gent aid indefatgable correspondent, and by the
Rev. Daniel Foster. 1t was favored by Judge
Smith, General Lane and Governor Robinson, and
was sust tsined by vote adopting the resolutions
proposed by the Business Committee. These reso-
htior are expressly based the repeated promises
Of Governor Walker that the people of Kansas shall
have full and fair vote at that election aud they
re accompanied by protest against the enactments
forced upon the people of Kansas by the bogus
Missouri Legislature. They also contain two
other very important and, as it seems to us, very
judlcious provisions, viz: the appointment OF a
Committee to wait upon the Territorial authorities
nd TO urgently press revision OF the late ln'qui
tus usappOrtionment and an authority given TO Gen.
lane 10 tender to Gov Walker the force or
Crzed by the former under the resolutions OF
es Topeka Convention for the protection OF the
MDot box. Tne concluding resolution expresses
i'm attachment to the Topeka Constitution aud
evernment, and that all that is done shall De done
nth view toward setting that Government Ia
Oeratiop, in a legitimate manner at an early date.
Now that the resolution to take part in the Ter
ftOrlal election has been thus formally adopted, we
st il will be carried out with heartiness and zeal by
N the Free State men of all grades of opinion, and
Aat such will be the case we think, is indicated
even from the speeches made in opposition to
yOtinC Those speeches remind us little OF the
advice of the Quaker to his friend, who in spite of
tie conscientious objections urged to the use OF
violence on any occasioD had resolved to shoot the
leader of mob which was threatenlngto pull down
bi. house: "Frend, ifthee will shoot, aim little
lower" Those gentlemen opposed the policy OF
voting bat insisted that if voting was resolved upon
and the Legislature was carried, it should be used
to annihilate the whole bogus Administration.
We have not the least objection to that; but the
first step is to get possession of the Territorial
legislature With the scaudaiOus and outrageous
spportionment made for the express convenience of
intrusive voters from Missouri; with bogus officials
to preside at the polls; with the false voting lists
already made up. with the probability of a fresh
hroad from Missouri; with the frauds Of all sorts
that viii certainly be practiced and tie probable
violence, with United States troops TO back 1t; We
judge that, although the Free-State men may out
number their opponents ten to one, yet the
official returns will elect Border Rufian Legisla
iure But even if that should happen, we can still
see great advantages from going into the election
With two thousand United States troops in Kansas,
and General Lanes volunteers at his disposal, II
Walker does not defend the polls from violence on
the part of Missouri invaders, it will be PLAIN
enough that it is only because he is resolved and
nstIucted lot to do As to fraud and false voting
Shat may be expected in any quantity; but if the
recommendations of the Grasshopper Falls Con-
ventiOh are carried out that fraud aud its precise
extent will be made patent to the world. 1t is
