There are doubtless many of our political adver-
.aries who would like to extend the circulation of
the most unfair, nsidious, jesuitical advocate Of
their party if they knew which it was, and to these
we can heartily commend Harper's Weekly as the
very journal they want. Processing to be nOn-psr.
tisaD, it misses opportunity to poison the minds
of its readers against the Republican eanse. No
chance for stab, or slur innueLdo, to the preju
dice Of that cause ever escapes it. For instance,
ts last issue accounts for the result Of our State
Election az follows:
"The State Of New.York has always been Dem
ocyatc at heart. At times ep'emeraI fantasies hace
t01cn such hold upon the minds Of he people Of The
ruyal districts that for period the scepter has de-
parted from the Democracy. At times, too, splits
have taken place in the party, and Democratic dissen
sons have transferred the control OF the State TO the
hands of other factions. But these accidents over
come and these dissensons healed New. York has in
vareby rallied to its old td,tl. The election Of this
mouth illustrates the principle"
Democracy" according to the dictionaries
which Harper & Brothers publish, implies form
Of government which secures to all the People
equal voice in the choice Of their rulers and tn
flaming Of their laws; but "the Democracy
which has just triumphsd in this State plants itsel
on NE pSIptluhI duu PonIACdi soS
juaation Of considerable class Of our population
not because Of any wrong or fault on their part
bat because Of Il color Of their sn and the coun-
try Of their ancestors. The Democracy" Of JET
f,r.on and his compeers was based on the Insen-
able Rights of Man; but "the Democracy" which
has just carried our State is based on the doctrine
Of Caste, AID denies b lsndless men the Elective
Franchise which itconfers on those same men if own
ers Of $3.50 worth Of Real Estate. Whenever New
York shall rally to 'its old Democratic faith, it
must repudiste ard east down the party which cow
lives On tie Democratic nsme; and We dare the
editor Of Ha'per's Ueekly to find dictionary in
tie HsIpers estab!ishnent whOse definition Of the
word Democracy does not make this truth clear.

The great fraud by which an alien and odious
government is sought to be permanently i'm
posed on the People of Kansas, approaches its
finale. The bogus Constitutional Convention closed
its labors on Saturday, tho 9TH inst, having COM
pleted it's State Constitution and decided no. to
submit il to The People. There is prstense Of sub
mitting the question Of Slavery or No Slavery by
itself: but the Slavery clause submitted may be
rejected BY an overwhelming vote yet Slavery will
continue to exist in Kansas if this Constitution s
her supreme law. No provision is made in it for
sbolisbipg or expeline Slavery and the bare resc-
ton Of the Committees article would not effect
such expulsion. On the contrary, by expressly
and folly confirming and perpetuating the claws 4"
Of the bogus Legislature, the Convention has pro-
vided for the perpetuation Of Slavery at all events
The pretente Of submission is fraud, and the re.
fusa to Aubmit the CoDsttution tself is au outrage
fty perfecting the frauds whereof Kansas has been
for three years the victim
But the bogus Convention did not stop here. l
actually eonsti,s:,d Provisional Government 70
Kansas, ,cher.cf its President, IT, s, Swrsyor- Gen
sral John Calhoun, is made Goeernor. Tnis bold
move il intended to supersede Gov. Walker aud
Secretary Stanton on the one hand and the new
Territorial Legislature on the ether. TOus the
victory just wen BY tbs Free-Stase men is to be
nulli6ed, and the power once more snst;hed from
their hands BY usurpatica, and vested in the mas
ter spirits Of Border Rafiiaaism. The calculation
evidently is 10 rush this Constitution through sul
new Democratic Congress forthwith, aud thus turn
IMr. Parrot out Of his sest as Delegate, and have
. Stats Election under the auspices Of the new
Proyiaioaal Government which viii provide the
judges, superntend tho polls, aud count the votes
In that case, Oxford, Kictapoo, and MCGEE County
may be relied on to Guido all their past achieve
ments, and to have sdmirins competitors all along
the NixSun line.

yet We do not doubt her ultOate triumph Blu
