the Free State men of Kansas to task for not allow
ing themselves to be befooled by Walker and tho
bogus Convention The following Is an extract:
"They do this in the face of the fact that the Presi
dent of whore behavior in regard to them they had 50
much reason to complain, has been succeeded in his
Office by Chief Magistrate whose intentions, If they
are to be nft ed from his acts are widely different
from those of his predecess0r-that the Territorial
Governors who had made matters in Kansas constantly
worse BY their ntgues with the worst enem es OF tho
people Of Kansas have been replaced by Governor
whose words and whose deeds have satisfied the most
hgh-spirted Of the friends OF Kansas and that the
exgences of party consistency a. well as the deccncies
of official life compel the National Government to rec
ognize as binding upon the people of Kansas the acts
ofa past Legislature in ITSELF very possibly to the last
degree offensive, but certainly accepted as Legsla
ture by the Congress Of the United States
Will The Times be good enough to tell Us what
are the acts of President Buchanan from which biz
intentions can be inferred to be "wdely different
from those of his predecessor Does The Times
refer to the retention Of Jeffreys Lecompte u
office, whom Pierce proposed to supersede or to
the fact that Mr.. Buchanan has given 90 many Fed.
eral Offices in Kansas to notorious Border Rufisns,
several of whom are or ought to be under indict-
ment for murder, robbery and arson7
Buchanan has replaced Geary BY Walker. IL
that change calculated to secure the confidence q
the Free. State men, Partsans Of Walker, if they
were discreet, would be careful about making allu.
sions to "intrgies villa the wUrst onooics Of tae
people of Kansas"
When and where was the bogus Legislature Of
Kansas accepted as Legislature by the Consrs"
" of the United States"7
The admitted facts with respect to this bogus
Constitutional Convention, with which the Free
State men of Kansas refuse to have anything to d.
are these: 81. That man could vote at this Kan
"sas election unless his name stood enrolled on .
Registry ordered by the bogus Legislature, to DO
I" made by their creatures alone, no Free-State
imam having any voice or influence in making it
Cup; 3. That nothing like half the Free State cit
:" liens Of Kansas-even Of those who had been
/" such previous to the 18th of last March-pcre
s. enrolled on that Registry, while the time for
adding to it or in any manner correcting it had
passed; 3. That no census-taker and registry.
" maker had even been seen in a majority of tho \
" Free-State settlements, while in Leavenworth,
Douglas and other contested Counties, all tho
" Pro-Slavery and but fraction Of the Free-Stats
&" men were registered; 4. That the greater mum.
I" Der of the overwhelmingly Free-State Counties
had been vouchsated no census and no ye9istry at
"0H and so could not possibly choose delegates to
this bogus Convention; and 5. No delegates
" were even appOrtOned to majority of those
Counties, though Stanton Gin Walkers absencel
" had authority to make a seasonable registry in
s. such Counties in case the bogus officials should
" fail to do it,
Such are the facts respecting thi, bogus Con.
vention, and because the Free. State men, whom
no "eAigency Of party consistency" impels to it,
do not choose to join Walker in recognizing a. good
and binding upon them Convention thus consti.
tuted The Neu- York Times undertakes to rebuks
them and call them to account
We had heard that the private secretary of Gov.
Walker was correspondent of The Times. We
begin now to think that be has been admitted into
the editorial columns
