Governor Ransom.

Saturday afternoon, the 9th inst, the
citizens of Atchison and country listened
to very lengthy address from Mr.. RAN
SOM, the candidate of the Democratic party
of Kansas for delegate to congress.
After some remarks he gave a history
of the Democratic party of the country,
and lahorsd to sstahlish fact that the
party which nominated him was the same,
and advocates of the same principles.
He next charged the Republican party.
or Abolition as he termed it. of being gull
~ of all the crimes ever committed here.
And said. "thai the actors in the Topeka
Government were in spirit traitors to their
country; but that they took care not to go
far enough for law to take hold of them as
they had strange dislike to hemp
He then at great length compared the
slaves with the free negroes. And con-
Guided by trying to refute. the charges of
the presses against him, (Which he ad-
mitted was true) and by urging the Free
State Democrats to come out and support
the principles loved by them in The states.
We have not time to criticise bis remarks
at length. but would like to know of the
Governor. for abhaf he desires our sufTra.
ges. What does he want to be paid to go to
Wa shington for. He did not tell US one
thing he would do or try to do. Perhaps,
it was to drink whiskey, as be said ga mans
moral qualifications was no reason for re-
fusing TO vote for him." Perhaps not, but
zoe should never vote for man who touched
| it if we could help ourselves. And we
hope to see the day when such shall be
kicked out of the Free state party. What
did we care about history of his party.
when it is spread before the world.
We who have lived here longer than he.
know of the evil growing out of the To-
peka Government, and we hope to see the
day when it shall crush the pates of its
originators.
Neither are we entirely ignorant of the
negroes either in the north or the south.
And says he. tive are driven to this in the
present canvass" we don't believe it. Had
he said he was driven to the issue, Kansas
Free or Slave, then would be have hit the
point IS
What do we care for the niger. abb
stracsly. Let Beecher talk of that. We
look to the interests Of our own race, and
the advantages of our embryo Stale. and
not for the woody heads. only that. de Lord
will Geliher US from ein-Free or Stare.
Had Mr.. r. argued the importance ofiheir
Slavery or Freedom in Kansas to us as he
had to get on the question, then would j,
have " payed better to listen. But here
was the ..pint." and he studiously avoided
it by taking as through the plantations Ia
Louisiana. and then hurrying US away '.to
de cold icy region ah.'' of Canada As
far as our individual feelings are concerned
in that respect we would probably agree
with him, but thai does not concern rs.
The question. Mr.. Ransom. before the
Territory is shall Kansas be Free or Slave.
And We think it would be well for you 70
Iry it again IN Atchison, and tell as what
you are going to do for our railroad grants.
our Indian lands, and educational inter-
ests. ard perhaps 5ssr may vote for you.
