Democratic Policy in Kansas.

4 portion. at least, of the Democratic
nartv. here and elsewhere, are now ngur-
inc TO make Kansas Free State. They
have read the "hand- writing on the wall"
and are anxious to recuscitate Their al
most lifeless organization at the North.
If thev are in earnest about this, We
will throw TO obstacle in their way Tor
a mere partisan purpose, believing, as we
do. that the early admission OF Kansas
into the Union as Free State Is par
amount to everything else. Yet we must
confess that when we hear such men
as Gen. G. ". Clark, DIR. j. II. String
fellow and others of the same class,
whose whole study, for the last lev
wears, has been, how they could best
enslave this Territory, advise Demo.
cratic Convention to forget this issue oil
Slavery. and remember only that they
were National Democrats, we are lnciin-
ed to suspect the honesty of their pro-
fessions, and TO distrust the Free oiate
procliyities of any man whom a Con-
yention controlled by such spirits, shoil.d
nominate as Delegate to Congress, NO
true friend of Freedom, whether Demo
crat or otherwise, could safely vote Tor
such a candidate. II is only kusE on
the mart of our pro-slayery enemies IN Or
der to deceive the people and secure the
election of their man. This poiiey should
be met Immediately and its influence
counteraeted as soon as may be, by nom
mating the strongest man in the FREQ
State party. as Delegate to Congress
We want no Whitfeld--no StringtelioS-
no Moore to represent US at washington
next winter. We want no border ruifian
nor Northern doughface, half Free Ssate
and half pro-slayeFy to plead our cause
there. We want man VINO will DEhAst
Freedom for Kansas and accep. nothing
less. The sooner such q person Is stloghi
out and placed on the course, the better II
will be for all concerned. This done, the
way is opened up for securing every once
within reach Of the people, and thus ter
rninating everything IN the shape OF bogus
laws and bogus taxation.-ha'isas Leaae''

A Correct View.

A correspondent Of the Real Estate
Ne.cs Litter, in speaking Of portion Of
the West over which he is travelling,
gives the following which can be with
truth applied to Kansss:-
"Could the thousands who are now toll
ing from year to year, on their few acres
of land which is susceptible of cultivation,
and obtaining mere support for them
selves and their families, only once view
the beautiful praries Of the West, which
are lying here, awaiting but the plowmau
of the sturdy sons of New England, TO de-
yelope IFS rich resources, am confident
that our Railroads would not be sufficient
to convey the one half Of those Who
would sell their few acres in the Easi, and
elhigrate to that country where baoad
acres can be had for few dollars, which
would soon yield them an income that a
prince might be proud Of
although an Eastern man myself, !
say to the young man of enterprise, go to
the Western States or Territories. 70
the mechanic, there is no greater field fol
tliH1 ~ SAcICieG Btc tIdacs tltal1 III tifk
| Western States. 1t IS field opened tC
the actual settler and to the Speculation
without limit, and am satisfied that every
un,Teiudiced person, who viii travel from
the Eastern into the Western States and
Territories, viii agree with me in saying
that the ene-half has never been told il
regard to the great advantages of ths
West. Were 1 capable OF describing
lif. should be proud to do 50, bu
abler pens than mine have come 50 ia
short Of a correct description, can onlss
say It must be seen In order TO be appre
ciated." !"

A Kansas Newspaper.

We have received the Kansas Herald
of Freedom, of the Goth. of June, and clip
from its well filled columns, for the ben
eft of our readers, several interesting news
items. The events therein described in
dicate that the Territory is still some
what infested with the fell spirit of ruff
fianism which prevailed there SO exten-
siyely year ago.
The Herald is published at the city of
Lawrence by GEo. w. BRowN, formerly
of Pennsylvania. 1t is large, handsome
" printed sheet, devoted to the Free State
cause, very ably conducted, and has a
weekly circulation Of about 8Uo0-a fact
which speaks we'll for the prosperity of the
Territory and the intelligence and iber-
ality Of the inhabitants. Itwas the pio-
neer Free State paper of kansas-has
once had its Office and printing materials
destroyed to appease the Indignation oi
the Missouri border ruffians on account OF
its advocacy of Free State principles, and
its editor subjected to prolonged and
cruel Imprisonment. 1t has, therefore
extraordinary claims upon the friends OF
freedom everywhere-outo of the Territory
| as well as in it-and we are glad to Learn
that its services and sacrifices in behalf o
the good cause are properly appreciated
| and that it is receiving degree of suppor
commensurate with Its ability aud use
fulness.
Under these circumstances the pending
personal difficulty between the Herald ant
| Gov. ROBINSON, who is the recognized
leader of the Free State party, must be ;
source of keen regret to all the supporter
of freedom in the Territory, as it certain
| ly is to their friends in the States. Thos,
who read the Herald will be slow to doub
its integrity, and they are equally reluc
tant to question the honesty of Robin
sons proceedings. The existence of s.
serious a misunderstanding between then
cannot be otherwise than embarrassing T.
the cause which they both profess to love
and is therefore greatly to be deplored.
But whatever may be the cause, con
sequences or merits of this unfortunat
controversy, the Herald will be sure t
make friends for itself wherever it is read
| Persons in the States desiring to keel
themselves advised of the progress ant
frequently changing aspect of Kansa
| affairs, will find its columns just the in
! formation they want. We believe the,
will also find it ever true to the cause o
freedom. 1t can be obtained for year b,
sending 81 to the publisher 0ntari
| IN y Times.

All Tan ana no action.

It is easy enough to monut the nlstrum
and portray in vivid colors border riitiian
outrages ia Kansas. 1t is easy enough to
harangue the people cloud and long,
about the evils of slavery, and denouuce
in measured terms the advocates OF
aAmericas necessary institution. L Is
easy enough to make patriotic appeals to
the public to stand BY the Topeka Con.
stitntion and uphold the official conduct
of those acting under it. IL Is easy
enough for the whole pack OF hirellng
scribblers employed by heestern press,
to fIbricate accounts calculated to deceive
and mislead some Of the true friends of
Kansas in the Free States, Cor, IN the set
tlement of fourdificuities they foFsee an end
to their occupation here. Its 10 be ex-
pected that these penny-a-liners Will de-
fend the Topeka organization and urge
people to cling to it as long as they can
secure offices and appointments under II.
Political notoriety here and dollars from
the East are their reward. They have
two strings to their low, ard use them
both for selfish purposes. These "Iope-
kaites,s ito use the expression Of Goy.
Walker,) have not-cAN.soT talk hansas
into the Union. They have held Con
yention after Convention-have made
speech upon speeeh-passed resolution
circulated petition after petition, and
what has it all amounted 10? We sre
vet Territory, without law or order, and
with slavery nominally existing within
our borders. under the recent decision OF
the q. s. Supreme Court in the Dred
Scott case.
And vet we are advised by some to ap-
peal again to the generosity OF the Demo
cratic party-to get down IN the euss De-
fore them and humbly ask admission into
the Union with Constitution which they
have once put their feet upon, and that,
too. ON the eve of Presidential election
in which the scales were nearly equally
balanced, and single mistake on their
part would have been Republican sicto-
rv. They refused our petition then, and
the people sustained them; and now, with
three long years of power in which 70
correct or cover up their mistakes, every
sane man knows, or ought to know, sna'
they will do it again.
Then there is but one single remedy for
our case, and that is to nominate ana elect
Delegate TO Congress, and also to nemi-
nate and elect Territorial Legislature IN
the place of the Ex-Lecompton concern.
There is no question but what we can DO
II if we choose. This would be action,
and action which would Immediately re-
suit In good to Kansas. Deeds, not
words, are necessary now. Then push on
the column along the shortest route lead
ing into the Union.--Ransas Leader.

the support and maintenance of his excel
lency ROBERT j. WALKER, in preserving
the peace and harmony of Kansas, and in
executing the laws of our country.
Nominations were then declared in Or
der, whereupon O. II. Browne, ESQ.,, in a
very feficitous address, placed in nomina-
ton Hon. Ely Moore; Col. j. D. Hender-
son placed in nomination the name of j.
P. Carr. Esq, of Atchison. Gen. G. w.
Clarke nominated Hon. E. Ransom.
The roll of Counties being called, and
the vote taken, Z. Ransom, on the third
ballot, was declared duly elected, having
received two-thirds of the whole number
of votes asst.
Gen. Clarke submitted the following:
Resolued, That Committee of three be
appointed to wait on Gov. Ransom, and
inform him of his nomination. Adopted.
Clarke, Cameron and Barre were APP
pointed Committee.
His excellency was then introduced by
the Chairman, and addressed the Conven-
ton.
His excellency returned his thanks to
the National Democratic party of Kansas
Territory for the cooperation which they
had extended to him in the execution OF
the Territorial laws and his efforts to pre-
serye.the peace of the Territory. He said
he intended to look to them for support
in his efforts to suppress all difficulties and
prevent collision. He expressed his de-
termination to labor, by all fair and hon.
.orable means-by argument-by appeals
to the reason and patriotism of the people,
to insure peace to Kansas, and remove all
just cause of dissatisfaction. He stated
his entire concurrence in the resolutions
just adopted which had re-affirmed the
Cincinnati platform, and thereby declared
that the people of Kansas should decide
for themselves what should be their form
of Government and their social institu-
tons. In conclusion he rendered his
hearty congratulations on the results OF
the Convention, and expressed his entire
approval of the nomination they had
made. During the delivery of his brief
and admirable address, the Governor was
interrupted by bursts of appluse. He re-
sumed his seat amid loud cheers.
