quested under ii and who does that being etopped
they press against the whole movement the want
Of enabling act in advance the black republicans will
have little ground to stand upon in their opposition
to it And yet they propose to let all these things be
done when they say they have nineenhs of the voters Of
Kansas with them and then cry violently against
result which they tried prevents Is this the
part of honestly Is this the part of earnest
gagged (as they describe tbemseves in great cause
Or is it not rather the part Of political trckster seeking
for party capital and intent upon spells and power
We submit TO the people that this attempt by the
black republicans to manufacture aid and comfort for them
selves in Kansas is of the most ndefensble exhbi-
tons of wrong and mischief which dsgraced the po
ltical history of our country These agators have
right to regard the legislature of Kansas without
authority They have right to presume fraud and vio-
ence the election They have right 10 drag out again
the decayed carcass of the sham Topeka movement and
use it poison the atmosphere which is now clear
and healthfn They have right to absent themselves
from the polls for the purpose of finding fault with
what may be done there They have right to antci-
pate the action OF the convention or the character
of its work How do they know what delegates VIII Dc
chosen what sort of constitution they will adoptf
That depends the people of Kansas to determine They
have right to full and fair expression of their wishes
concerning only by the terms of the Nebraska bill
only according to the expressed opinions OF the Pres-
dent but according every dictate of common justice and
the general admission of all reasonable men. But If when
an opportunity is offered for this expression the freeSae
ren choose stay away from the polls and allow views
to prevail contrary their own they will have no right
to complain of the result whatever may be- When men
are engaged honestly in an enterprise which they value
they take every chance for its Because they
may fail at particular period, they none the less
use their best endeavors in order to reach the desired
end But here are persons, protesting to be governed
by the highest motives philanthropy and even religion
who, when an opportunity is offered them to accomplish
their darling purpose, stand back from it with folded
arms and refuse 10 improve it because they may get hurt
in the attempt or may be cheated out Of its legitimate
fruits! Weshould look for excessive purity among
the corrupon of the last House of Representa-
tves expect find exalted and honest sentiments among
men who advise course like this. We cannot believe
that the scheme Of agitation will succeed We hope
it will be repudated Indignantly By all the people OF Kan
sas That Territory has been abused long enough for
political purposes Its hardy residents have been suf-
GENTLY injured already by the agitators
cries out now for peace In the midst Of growing settle
rnents and gathering homes and cultivated fields and
successful toll il asks only be let alone and suffered to
pursue upmoested its of promise and of hope We
beg our to consider their mad designs and
yield TO SO reasonable request But if they will not do
this then that the people of this country North
and South East and West will rise in their majesty and
acrush OUT from all power of mischief party which has
already eopaded the welfare Of the Union as this black
republican party has DONE and which is attempting to
break the peace again.
