the sober reaSon Oft people, and knowing
well that Their party cannot exist without that
peculiar nnnishment which can be drawn only
from excitement and fanaticsm, the Abolition
istsare again endeavoring TO infame the prejn-
dices Of the Northern people against the Drmo-
cratic party, hoping that by 50 doing. they may
once more present.the sectional front which the
friends of Buchanan and Nationality broke
down in 1855. To DO this, they again employ
that political frehrand, "Bleeding Kansas"
which, to further their heinous purposes, they
have, ever since their party has been in exist
ence, striven TO Keep aglow, that they might
apply it as an incendiary torch TO the well be-
loved institutions OF our country. 1t seems that
nothing earthly can restrain them in their course
of faIsehood, hypocrisy and political quackery.
No matter if the people rebuke them III tones Of
electoral thundfr-no matter If they see with
their own eyes the consequences OF :heir suici
al measures-no matter if they hear Of negro
Instructions melted by their fanatica teach
ings, in which their white brothers fall bsnrath
the steel ofbIack assas8ins-no matter, if ;ntes-
tine war should tear asunder the nation-the
leaders Of the Abolition party persist in the ad-
vocacy Of their erroneous and dangerous doc
trines. Il matters not 20 them, whether they
bring the country to the very edge Of perditoa,
50 that they can obtain Office and emolumenL
But, thanks be to the common sense Of the
masses, the strength of these corrupt and un-
scrup0Ious tricksters, is broken, and they can
uever again array their scattered iorces against
the best Interests Of the people. Although, as
we have said, they are again engaged in their
old manmvres, they will never more b. able to
succeed to any dangerous extent. The peop',
know them as arraat hyPocrites, and Their whia-
ing and moaning on the subject OF "ka0sa5,
will meet with Just appreciation, and that is
all that is needed to effect their utter and IRE
tlievable overthrow.
The Hast howl that these maconteBis have
raised, is in refereacr 70 The action The Kan
sas Constitutional Convention. They pretend
to be dissatisfied with the doiags OF that Con
vention, because it did not submit the rloIs .
Consultation to the people Of the Territory
Now, the Abolition party was baiit up on the
cry Of '.No Slavery in Kansas, ana it never did
contend for anything rls- in the politics Of Thai Z
Territory. "Give Us Freedom in Kansas"
was the battle cry Gifts leaders. That was all
they ever protesspd to care for, Well, ae
Convention have submitted the question wh-.h-
er the Constitution should be pro-slaverv. or $
not 10 the people, to be decided at the ballot I
box. This is what the Democratic party guar
anteed in It's last National Convention. This
is, indeed, what the AooIitonisls loudly de- ,
manded. Bat they still affect to BE- dissatisfied
They don't care 50 much, now, wheth-r Kan d
sas is admitted ''Free," or sSlave," as they do !.
about the minor subjects embraced in the Con-
stitution. Therefore, being efectuallv silenced a
with regard to tbe Slavery question, they make {
a great ''ado about nothing" and pretend to be 9
very much interested in those sections of the
Constitution which the Convention did not sub :
nit. r
1t comes with very bad grace from the 40 {
to denounce the Kansas Convention y
for not submitting the 1chols Constitution, when r
they well know that but lue more than one
year ago, they, themselves, strove to force Q
through Congress the well Known Topeka Con- O
'tltution, which they never offered 10 submit
o the consideration Of the people, although it !
was formed with much less deibcration than t
