The Sacramento Union q National Ameri-
J can paper, in the course of leading editorial
article on this subject, mentions fact which is
worthy of note. 1t is, that, since the year $50,
there has not been a State admitted into the
Union that did not come in Democratic. The
| Union then remarks that, if Kansas and Min
uesots offer TO come in as Republican States,
t will be easy enough for Democratic Con-
sress to keep them under Territorial sassalage
or several years longer. This is somewhat
I'arl ng. We do not say it is true. But as
he Union observes, the division of the Consti-
'u'ionai Convention in Minnesota, and the
lHho.e course Of events in Kansas, warrant the
| h'.Iet that the Democratic Il aders ere bent on
admitting no new States but such as will in
c-ease their party strength. This arises, per-
hops, from the manner in which the Democratic
party has surrendered itself, without reserve, to
Southern propagandsm.

The editor of the New York Independent, in
the leading article of that paper of last week,
says:
GA friend of ours was called upon the other

wot ked till afternoon, when, Just as he was

were entertained. Threats we're made that the

spot, when the crowd dispersed. The gates
leading to the City Hall were then all locked,
except two, which were strongly guarded by
policemen, who made every person tell his busi
ness before being admitted. A large crowd OF

To THE PEOPLE OF KANsAs.-We have, at
tie late election, carried every county in Kan
sss by, the legal vote. Every scheme that ma
Egnant ingenuity could invent has been re.
sorted to by our opponents, to defeat the ex-
dressed wish of the people. Fraudulent re-
| farms have been manufactured at different
soints, and returned to the Secretary's office,
40 glaring that the authors of the vile forgery
dare not openly sustain them. Gov. Walker
Il and Secretary Stanton have refused to allow
them certificates, although corrupt Judiciary
has endeavored, by writ of mandamus, to COM
pei them to do so. If these officers stand firm,
as we have every assurance they will, in the
position they have taken, you will have the
Delegate to Congress, and maj ority of both
branches of the Territorial Legislature.
