deserves Tor throwing out the Cncinnazed Oxford vote
And where is the man that would not have thrown out
such vote, SO palpaby fraudulent There is not
living John Calhoun who would have counted those
returns. Why, look you how they made them up They
took the Cincinnati Directory and writing page two

turning back copied few pages Of Browns, and on
entirely ignoring your humble servant even his
representing the whole interest OF the Smith, Jones and
Brown families. Continued laugher) Let us not then
withhold any praise from Governor Walker when he does

Kansas into peace and war psry-a conservative and
fanacal party. Great God! Call man conservative who
s in favor of leaving this question and that constitution

John Calhoun has issued his two procametons, pro-
vided by the consttuton--one to vote the DIST
December and the other TO elect Governor Lieutenant
GOVERNOR &c and also to elect members Of the egisa
ture the Ist Of January, 1855 He has selected the

DEMOCRATIC TERRITORIAL CONVENTION.
We invite the particular attention of the democracy Of
the Territory TO the call for convention TO be held in
Leavenworth the oath of December. The OBJ
iect is to ask Congress to pass enabling act in
favor under which the people of Kansas may meet by
representatives in convention, frame constitution and
apply for admission into the Union under State.
This is tho only way in which this troublesome question
can be settled peaceaby and we have no doubt the de-
mocrcy OF the country will sustain in the application.
Let every county act with vigor in the matter Let the
people meet In their primary meetings and conventions
without oelay and send their good and true along
DEMOCRATIC TERRITORIAL CONVENTION

Territory requiring consultation and Of action the

worth City Thursday the day OF December next
