What THE FREE STATE MEN PRoPosE TO
Do "A correspondent of the Cincinnati Ga
setts, writing from Quindaro, Kanzas, Oct.
SOth, says:
"Now that the free State men have, for the
first time in the history of Kauzas, the power
to act, by having secured not only pre-.
ponderauce in the Legislature, but an actual
majority of two thirds perhaps you people in
the States would like to know what they are
going to do, L will tell what is proposed.
1t IS proposed that when the new Legisla.
ture meets, it shall organize, and Immediately
repeal all bogus laws, and enactments of
every kind MISUNDERSTANDING the Terrt-
tory back on the organic achieving Kanzas
with no law but the Kanzas Nebraka law and
its provisions-that the Legislature shall then
petition Congress for admission under the
Topeka constitution, and without taking any
further action adjourn sine die.
The Topeka Legislature will then meet,
and go making alt needful regulations for
the people OF Kanzas.
This is the plan proposed by the decided,
oat- and out free State men; but there is mere.
as everywhere, large body of timid, (ealled,
by way of compliment, conservative politi-
clans, who don't want to do anything so
decided and so utterly without precedent.
AhVs COHtiol tile dCtiOAi UuL uOH De-
lieve they will.
With its two thirds, the Kanzas Legislature
is like Parliament, omnipotent, independent
of Governor Walkers veto, and every thug
else
Writing from Lecompton, under date of
Oct, 29th he says;
"The Constitutional Convention is now in
session in this place, but it is doing nothing.
Out of the 60 elected, only 80 members are
present, and they are hesitnting what to do
At secret caucus held by these 80 mem
bers last evening, it was resolved by major
Ity to go on and frame a constitution with
two separate clauses-one for and one against
slavery-and TO submit the whole to vote of
the people.
The more ultra members, however, pro-
tested against submitting it to a vote of the
people, and even threatened, if this resolution
is persiste in, to go home and leave the Con-
vention without quorum.
From the present indications, it is more
than probable the convention will entirely
hzzle out

PERsoNxL.-Mr Samuel Bowles, late of the
Boston Traveller (belore it sold out to Gardner,
has assumed his old position in the office of the
Springfield Republican. DR.. John q Holland,
who has had the editorial control of the RepNb-
loan during Mr.. Bowies's absence, withdraws
from active politics. and will devote his talents
to more literary pursuita.- Boston Journal
The readers Of the Republican will have good
reason TO regret this determination on the part of
DR.. Holland. for his ready md versatile pen has
been long employed for their pleasure and in
struction but we can we'll understand that gem
tleman Of his culture, taste, and intellectual at
tainments should desire to escape from the strife
Of politics and the severe drudgery of editorial
life upon daily newspaper. The Doctor is rank
Ell among tae foremost as lyceum lecturer,
Wherever he has shown himself, and now that
he will have more leisure than formerly to meet
his fellow citizens in the lecture room, we trust
he will be frequently heard Of in the lyceum pro-
grammes of Worcester and Worcester County
for whatever may be his subject, and whether he
treats of it in prose or poetry, he is never dull.

It has been stated that upon Hon. CALEB Cush

to order, he having been member thirty-two
