,'rra's'y Planned hy the officers OF the gen.
.nl government. But Walker feared the
experiment, be- was afraid it would not ac-
the ohpct,-hencc be lcIt obliged
10 change his tactics. What next? Why
a dsmorra'is party in Kansas in favor Of a
free State was formed This was plot to
hriis the free State men in the territory,
aud prevent a concert or action on the part
of the settlers against the intrigue, OF
Walker and his party.
Aiter.iho poll lists were 50 fixed up a. to
make the election Of members 70 the Con.
.ti;utioual Convention Of necessity fraud,
the free State men very properly decided not
TO vote, or participate at all in the election.
This mex free State democratic party was
sprung into existence to aid in getting the
Republicans into tins trap. This party al.
yocated the policy that free State men ought
70 vote. Their object was 20 get the free
State party fret, divided second, commit
tel 70 a fraudulent election, and third, give
them something to use as prsimo, that the
election Of the constitutional convention was
the voice Of the people.
The latest news from Kansas seem to in.
dictate another shift on the part Of Walker
and hls intrsues. To make Kansas a slave
State now seems not only improbable, but
almos. impossible. Admitting this to be
80. what is the next best thing that can be
done? II Kansas will come iu a free State,
there only remains one thing more that can
be done to aid this slave.ridden National
Adminis,ration,-thati is make It bunker
democratic s,ato-.o fix a things as to
send dou:hiace delegation to the House
and two doushface- into the L. 5. Senate.
This last resort seems now to occupy the at
tentiOn OF Governor Walker and the crew
Of government, officials that surround him.
