At Mass Convention of the Free State
party of Anderson county, the undersign-
ell were chosen a committee to confer
with the citizens of the other counties
comprising the Tenth Council District, to
take such steps as may be necessary for
the holding of Convention for delibera-
ton and counsel. The apportionment is
made-it is not to be changed. We are
associated with Linn, Lykins and Frank
lin counties, together with large portion
of southwestern Kansas. No district COM.
mittee regularly elected is authorized to
call convention. By the expressed
wish of the Free State party of Anderson
county, in convention assembled, we as
sumo the responsibility. We ask you to
waive all seeming irregularity in our call
to meet in mass convention at Osawato-
mie, on Monday, September 18th, at ten
O'Clock A. NJ, for the purpose of nomi-
mating a suitable person to represent the
Tenth Council District in the next Terri
torial Legislature, if the best interests of
of the party require it. Also to transact
such other business as theConvention may
deem necessary.

Two sides AIxars-

The Rockford Register is mistaken in
its statements that age said the Cover
norhad evidence ofa conspiracyon the part
Of the people of Kansas. We were giving
las statement, not our own. The Reqister
does not intend to misrepresent us, and vet
il has done so.
In response to the inquiry chow the
PEOPLE can avoid being mixed up in the
natter" We would state that this whole
movement of city charters did not origin
ate with the PEOPLE, the masses of Kan
sas, or even Of Lawrence, but is the move
ment of fen persons who always have
been, and always will be, engaged in get
ting up something new for the sake OF
IN excitement.
The Register and its cotemporaries may
pitch in to their hearts content. There
are two sides to all things, and the public
will learn in time that the blows given to
the Herald Of Freedom and G. w. Brown
in particular, is but one side of the matter

WILLOW SPRINGS, Aug. 27, '57.
AT a Convention of the people of VIII
low Springs Township, Mr. Joseph Eb-
erhart was called to the chair. and Mr.. j.
B. Hill appointed Secretary.
The Convention then proceeded to elect
delegates to attend the Grasshopper Con-
vention. On the first ballot, Mr.. E. S.
Scudder and DIR. P. W. Hill were chosen.
II. Appleman, E. w. Bennett, and P.
w. Hill were appointed committee to
draft resolutions. The committee re-
ported the following preamble and reso-
lutions, which were adopted
WHEREAS, The time has arrived which
calls for an expression of public opinion
in regard to the very important question
which is soon to be decided upon by
the Grasshopper Convention, viz: whe-
ther the Free State party of Kansas shall
participate in the coming October cleo
ton, or whether we shall stand aloof.a and
allow the Legislative Department of the
Territory to remain longer in the hands
of men who have not the interests of the
people at heart, and who seek to foister
(if it were possible) the institution of
slavery upon the Territory, contrary to the
known wishes OF large majority of the
people; and qolereas, it is necessary, in or
der that the Convention may advisedly
and in accordance with the wishes of the
people, that they should, in the selec-
tion of delegates to that Convention, elect
those only who will truly represent the
wishes of their different constituencies;
therefore,
Resoiral, That in the opinion of this
meeting the interests of the Territory i'm
peratively require that the whole people
should participate in the election for Ter
ritorial officers.
Resolued, That we feel, in participating
in that election, that we make no sacrifice
of principle, believing as we do, that we
have given to the people of the whole
country unmistakable evidence that we
neuer hare, do not, and neuer shall acknowl-
edge the validity of the laws of the bogus
Legislature, but that great public neces-
sity seems to prompt us to waive tech
nical acknowledgement and participate in
that election, and by so doing to snatch
from and destroy our enemy with the
very weapon that they had made and
raised for our destruction.
Resoiced, That notwithstanding we shall
feel bound to acquiesce in the decision
of that Convention, whatever it may be,
but with the knowledge that we have,
we cannot concur in the propriety ofnon-
participation should such be its decision.
Resolced, That we believe that the in
terests of Kansas demand that the people
should take that course which will procure
our admission into the Union in the quick
est possible time, and that we firmly be-
lieve that when we are once in possession
of the Territorial Legislature We should
retaiu possession until Kansas is admittd
into the Union as State.
Resolved, That the proceedings of this
meeting be published in the Herald OF
Freedom

Expression of Opinion In Pot,owaiomie Co.
A Mass Convention of the Free State
party of Pottewatomie county was held
on the 9th inst, at Rockingham, in said
county. Judge Wilson was called to the
chair, and L. r. Palmer appointed Secre-
tary.
On motion of E. NJ. Squares, a COM
mittee Of three was appointed by the
chair, to draft and report series of reso-
lutions, expressive of the sentiment of
the Convention.
E. NJ. Squares, DR.. Adams and Charles
Jenkins were appointed said committee,
who retired, and after having had the
subject under consideration, reported the
following
RESOLVED, That we believe the most
speedy and sure way to redress our wrongs
is through the medium of the Territorial
Legislature.
Resoluea, That we believe the true pol
icy of the Free State party is to secure all
the Territorial offices possible at the Oc-
tober election.
Resolred, That sound policy does not
dictate further adherence to the Topeka
Constitution or State organization; but
we recommend that the next Legislature,
after repeating all obnoxious laws, should
proceed to enact such other laws as may
be necessary for the future government of
the Territory.
Reso1ued, That this Convention appoint
vigilance committee, whose duty it
shall be to secure as large vote as pos
sible at the October election; also to call
delegate convention to make our county
nominations, and transact such other bus
mess as usually devolves upon such COM
mittees.

We passed through this thriving town
last week, and pronounce it one of the
most beautiful town sites in Kansas. Tn
aeountry like this, where every man thinks
his claim handsome enough for town,
and every town sees beauties in its own
location, which no extravaganza can over
state, it is no little credit to the origina-
tors to say aud to feel, that the natural
beauties of scenery which surround them
are equal to the finest in Kansas.
The people. too. have true pioneer grit;
stone buildings, frame buildings, log build
lnSs, shanties and cloth houses, all indi-
cate thrift and courage.

Democracy.

The following omDouglas' last speech
At Springfield, I'LL, contains the gist OF
aNodern Democracy":-
aThat distinction is plain and palpable,
sad Il has been the rule of civilization
and Christianity the world over, that
,cIsrsuer any one man or set of men Uere in
saDoBe oftahing care Of themselves. they
,ioula consent to he gove,ned by those ,chO
,cvs capable of managing their affairs for
tIem."
Our Lawrence Regency acted upon this
rinciple last Monday, at the Convention
at Mr. Spicer's, in breaking up the meet
inc, and passing resolutions for those who
called it. Is it not fortunate that some
body knows enough to take care of US?
What would become of the world, if all
The wise men were dead? 1t would be a
terrible state of things, if the people were
left to manage their own affairs. Rulers
grow in Kansas, as well as in other parts
Of the world; and they would have no.
thing to do, if common people were left
TO take care of themselves!

in number, returned from buffalo hunt
last Saturday. They were with Col.
Sumner in battle with the Cheyennes,
on the SmokyH Hill, a short time since. One
