HAe paper for rs mistaken assertion that the Pro-
slavery party in that Territory had held no Legisia
Eve election since that of March 80 1855 when they
aetxay did hold one in October last, and chose new
hegslature-or of least House. This election, being
held just on the heel Of the murder Of Phillips and the
iprcble expulsion Of the Free-State from Lesven-

Prostate men utterly ignored, made no impne''o"

THE Lea0earorth Times very moderate and eau
lions organ-hus responds to its New-fork
,amesake and The National Era on the policy of the
Prostate mems voting or abstalning at the bogus
Constitutional Election:
"Had the Free-State men concluded TO go lnto the
election for delegates and expressed themselves at
their Convention very different state OF things 10
what prevails to-day would exist in the Territory.
When the act was passed, 1t was INTENDED oy us
srginators that the oSavery party should Oy NOOK
ar by crook cotrol the election under II. ltcann0t Tor
a moment be suppOsed-knowiDg, as the leaders OF
that party do that the Free-Sate men largely out
number them-hat they would submit the vital ques-
f;on 10 the arbtrament of fair and impartial cleo
hon. However much we may eXecrate the policy and
practice Of the ex- Lawaud-Order party OF Kansas,
we cannot truthfuy call its leaders fools. And more
than this the Registry shows beyond question that
fhe intention TO get control OF that Convention al
all hazards. 80
"The more conservative of them may take some
pains to have the thing seemingly fairly done and the
of this is that the Free-Stae men refusing 10
vote makes fraud mpOtic.
"WiI The National Era and " J. Times answer
This question: Do you, either of you, think that
these men--whO the Free-State men think, hold the
Offices they exercise without having been properly
elected thereto and who desired TO perpetuae their
mower and reign in the Te1itOryw0uld have devised
n scheme by which they would be forever politically
prostratedf They have the management OF the whole
Thing in their own hands and can blow hot or cold to
suit the circumstances This liz what they have been
doing-what they will do again.
al is very easy matter for men in the East to sit
tha of
within convenient reach, and dictate what Free-Sate
men here should d6-whether wisely or unwlsely.
Query! They talk about taking census, aud polling
votes and counting noses, &C. This is all easily done
IN an old settled country, where may have occu-
pied the same houses and farms for many years; but
here with 80 many daily accessiOns TO our numbers,
rnan don't know his neighbors, and taking census
would require visit to almost every voters house.
This would cost time and money of which this people
have but little TO spare. They perfectly satisfied
that Slavery can't be but nominal If authorized at all
and that the Legislature will soon be Free-State
when the matter be fixed up to suit majority OF
the People. -. .,o, ,
.'Tbe position of the Free State party Is entirely n~
,nderstood in the States. This party mas not as some
~nnnose determined TO abstain forever from voting.
Thrv have resolved only not to vote at the coming
electon for Delegates. They have not resolved TO
abstain from voting if the instrument this proposed
Convention shall frame be submitted to the feope'
They have not determined not TO vote at the eectoh
for members of the next Legislature or for Delegate
TO Congress. And they will not so determine unless
<cme unforeseen emergency should arse lney are
ready to vote at any time when they can do so honor
abiy and fairly; but they will not be bulled by open
epemies nor caoled by pretended friends into mt
- xb;ch would result in certain disaster
