THE DEMOCRACY OF KANSAS SPEAKING

After so much has been said and written for the
last two years by outside orators and journalists
in regard to Kansas affairs think it but fair that
an opportunity should be afforded the people of that
Territory TO be heard in reference to questions
which should within their own exclusive juris-
diction, In compliance with promise made few
days ago, we lay before readers this morning
highly-nteresting report of the proceedings of the
democratic meeting recently held at 0sawkee. The
report prepared for the Uioa failing to reach u.s.
have awaited ourselves of the abors of the editor Of
the Lecompton Democrat. 1t should be carefully
read and widely circulated for it will do much to
move many of the msapprehensions that still exist,
both at the North and South in regard to the true
condition of the feelings and sentiments of the demo-
cratic party of Kansas.

IOWA DEMOCRATIC NOMINATIONS.

on the Goth ultimo, Benjamin NJ. Samuels nomi-
mated for governor, and Geo. Gaspe for lieutenant
governor.
Mr.. Samuels is native of Virginia, and lawyer
of ability and extensive practice. He has served in
the Legislature of Iowa with marked distinction and
it is believed, will have difficulty in beating his
competitor, r. r. Lowe.

EQUALITY OF WHITES AND NEGROES.

In Iowa. in submitting the new constitution, the
question of equality Of whites and negroes to po-
litical privileges submitted to the people Near
ly the whole vote of the State against the as
sumed equality After all the pretences of blacre-
pubcansm in favor of negro equality, nearly the
whole party voted against it. Few men in Iowa
were found voluntarily to vote themselves the equals
of negroes. When brought to the test their negro
professions were found to be mere political expedi
ents which honest men despise. Black-republican-
ism is dead in Iowa, as well as almost everywhere
else and only needs its merited burial to be finally
forgotten, unless remembered for the wanton mis-
chiefs it has brought upon the country.

Our contemporary and friend of the Gazette will &C
cept our thanks for the kind manner and apprecia-
tive spirit in which he speaks of tho commercial
ticles in the Union. We can assure him that their
preparation requires amount of research labor,
and patient calculation which, although it may be
appreciated by the profession, scarcely be est

standing the labor and expense involved in their
preparation we abundantly gratfed if those for

that desire. The Gazette truly supposes that the
information which we give can only be found in the
archives of the Department of State, and only then
after great labor to digest it and put it into proper

And, whilst upon this subject we take occasion to
say that we have been amazed to some of our
contemporaries in the commercial cities publish these
commercial articles and other articles of the Unon

were the product of other mems labors. This we
consider little unprofessional; yet, we have
complained and are satisfied if the merchants of
great cities, and others, benefited by the infor
