met very warm and pleasant reception
there. On being questioned as to his
purpose in coming there to preach. he
replied that he "did not come to preach
politics, but the gospel" If there were
more Kempers and fewer Beechers, there
would be more "peace on earth and good
will to men," and much less need of brim-
stone in world to come.

No Black Republican Party ~ Kansas
Its Future Dsm0crattc.
LEAvrNwoRrH Cry,
Wednesday, November 4, 1857.

t. the Editor oil the Cincnrat Enquirer
We observe that most, il not all, of the
Republican papers Of the East are claiming
the Free State party victory in Kansas as u
Black Republican triumph. This is mis-
representation Of facts, Here in Kansas.
where the people are supposed to understand
their political position, there is not to be
found an individual, unless one paid TO heto
Eastern papers, who Possesses particle Of
intelligence, who il even aware Of the exist
ence Of Republican party in the Territory.
As corroborative Of this declaration, we
send you clipping from the Lawrence Her
aid Of Freedom all acknowledged Free
State party organ-as follows;
CORRECT THE ERRoR--The Eastern press
are determined that the Free State triumph
in Kansas shall pass for Republican 7ic-
tory The idea is lalse, and the presses max
ing those representations are doing US an
injury by circulating them az such The
lctter-writers have tried 10 force the Free
State party on TO the Republican platform,
and many OF u would very naturally ard
cheerfully go there, were il not for the fact
that we would lose at least one-third OF our
number il W. should attempt it. Our poll
cy has been TO unite the Free state element
without regard to it, past party proclivties
or it, future tendency. Wings, Democrats,
Free Solers, Natives. and naturaized cit-
n.n-, III ti,s language o. tn Zig SPRING
Platform, have affiliated. resolved 20 act
together until the issue between freedom and
slavery is settled" They have done It, and
il i. gross outrage upon the party 10 lalsiy
It's positions. or try to mix u up with party
organizations in the States. For the love
Of truth and justice, we do hope that these
prprs,s which gave currency 10 the reports
will correct them and tell ,leir readers that
W. have no Republican party in Kansas.
The fact is that the attempt has issn fre-
quently made 10 form republican organi-
zation, but a. the Democratic element in the
Prostate party is 50 large. and, fearing
that the attempt would h. productive d
evil to the Cause 81 freedom 10 Kansas,
il has always boen frowDe1 down. Hun
dred.. nav, thousands. Of Northern Demo
crats-Inen who by education and choice,
are Frees tate men. and have been co-OTe-
rating with the Free-State party only Tor
the purposc Oi securing 20 kaasss n free
constitution, will, 80 soon as that question Is
settled BE- found in The Democratic ranks
again. This fact il % generally admitted
that We Eel .aie in again repeating that
X ansas viii he Democratic state.
Many, very many. Of the bsSrs Of the
Prostate party were Democrats until they
left the States many supported Mr.. Blu
