We yesterday-snd not for the first time-cs'le1
attertion TO the fsct of habual suppression by our
conservative JOURNALS Of the usurPations aud out
rspes from time to time committed on the rights Of
the People of Kansas by the small Pro-Slavery fac
tior which calls itself "the National Democracy"
and kept in power there by the authority aud can
non Of the Federal Government. The Commercial
Adue,tiser-one Of the faifest of its class-tbus
anI ounces and surs over the most ,nt Of those
outrages:
"TRI LATEST ADvIcEs FROM KASsAs.-The tele-

Now compare the above positive averment that
there is no authority for the story that the bogus
Convention had established Provisional Govern.
ment but the "vsgue declaration" of our Lecomp-
ton CORE respondent, with the following dispatch
from st. Louis to the Associated Press, forwarded
on Saturday, and printed in the city journals Of
Sunday and Monday:
"IYTEREsTISG PROM KANsAs.-St. Louis Nov.l4.-
The Lecompton correspondent Of The Republican says

"Tbe Convention passed separate clause, sanction

to get the Constitution accepted by Congress PRIOR
TO the assembling Of the Territorial Legislature.
Gov. Walker has been appealed to, to convene an
extra session 10 meet this contingency. The appor-

This, you see, 10 not based at all on our cor
respondents letters, but on those of the Lecomp.

you prefer it, National Democratic y jOurns
he writes after the adjournment of the CONVEX

"If they are true, and the Convention has really

The Times, surely, should know better than this.
The new villaiuies of the PrO-Slave ry leaders in
Kansas are no worse tbsn the wholesale brszen
frauds by which they carried the first Legislature
at the election Of March 30, lS55-no verse tt an
the Test Oath, Slave Code add Election laws en-
acted by that Lsgisature-no worse than their re-
pest.d iLvasiors Of Kansas, their sack of Law
renee and burning Of Osawatainie-no worse than
