This work Of the Convention, in the opinion
OF the Herald, surpasses even the assumptions
and the treason OF Brigham Young. We quote:
Their proceedings ere without parallel, and
there 70 nothing like precedent for them in
the case Of any other Territory in the Union,
past or present. On the contrary, the federal
constitution, the organic law of Kansas, all.pop
ular rights, and territorial forms and usages, are
boldly set at defiance BY these Kansas disorgaa-
i4ers. .r4ss.7s.sss $500

are supposed to have in view. They are, Gays
the Herald, after the spois 10 Kansas, and play
ing into the hands Of the fre-eaters Of Virginia,
South Carolina and Mississippi. They mean to
rush their bogus Congress in advance Of the
meeting ofthe Legislature Of Kansas, and by ma.
king successful war upon the Administration,
lay the foundation Of . Southern sectional party.
But, says the Herald, short work will be made
g this unrati6ed Constitution ut Washington.
The dieorganizen will be put hors ds combat.
We hope %. certainly, but we have fears and
ntegistngs upon the subject. There seems to
- some unexplained hocus- pocus about the ru-
mored Regeacy, Of which Gen. Calhoun is said
70 Be The head. The Territorial Government 10
said % have been deposed, yet letter.writers de-
clare shat Walker 10 On excellent terms with the
leading members Of the Convention, and all that
has boea done han apparently received his sane.
tion- We usre also advised from Washington
that the action OF the Convention will be sus-
tanned BY the Administration. All this looks
dark and sadly nseds explanation. Is the Her.
aid abb - give such Z solution Of the matter ~
will clear the Administration from oil complicity
with the Convention in its Wholesale fraud upon
the people Of Kansas? Can Il, from authentic
Information, assure the people Of The North that
only few lire eaters will b found in Congress
to sanction the work Of the Conventiong We
have NO idea that the Herald can satisfy the
pablo on either Of these points. The general
and well-grounded conviction ID, that the DEM
ocratic party 10 welded body and soul TO the in
terests Of slavery, and it is our own belief that
nothing short OF the clearly perceived danger
Of its total disruption ~ consequence will pre-
vent its Endorsement Of the action of the law |
defers ofKansas. Indeed, We should not be
much surprised to find majority Of the party
10 both houses Of Congress bent upon running
The hazard Of such course.-Chicago Press.
