1t Wont Go Down.

The Herald Of Freedom, wants the
Free State men to let the Topeka
Constitution go by default, vote
against the bogus Constitution to be
framed, if submitted to vote of the
people, no matter what kind of q
Constitution it is, because it is an
exotic; but to act under it if Kanzas
be admitted under it without its be-
ing voted on by the people to elect
Territorial delegate to Congress,
and Territorial Legislature, and let
the Territory remain a Territory as
long as possible, only to be admitted
in time to cast an electoral vote in
1860.
If the Heraldof Freedom wishes to
defeat the "bogus" Constitution, we
should like to know why it wishes
the Topeka Constitution to go by de-
fault? Why, in order TO have Kan
zas remain in the condition of a Ter
ritory, and suck Federal pap as long
as it may. We should think Brown
has had experience enough in that
line, in his sufferings and wrongs
destruction of his Office, imprison-
ment, etc. Does he wish to have
Lccompte continue his JeiIrain Judge
ship, when by being admitted as a
State, they might elect their own
magistrates? Brown must love his
enemies pretty we'll, OF course the
platform of the Herald Of Freedom
will be rejected by the people oI

Washington and Slavery.

BY the following letter of Wash
ington to Tobias Lear, written in
1894, empowering him to sell por-
tion of his landed estate, we have a
clear statement Of his repugnance to
slaveholding, and Of his desire to be
delivered from 1t, He says -
81 have no scruple in disclosing to
you my motives to these sales are to
reduce my income, be it more or less,
to specialities, that the remainder of
my days may thereby be more tran
quill and free from care, and that /
may be enabled, knowing what my
dependence is to do as much good as
my resources will admit; Tor al
though in the estimation Of the world
| possess a good and clear estate, yet
so unproductive is it, that / am often
times ashamed to refuse aid which
cannot afford unless I sell part of it
to answer this purpose. Besides
these l have another motive which
make me earnestly wish for these
things--it is indeed more powerful
than all the rest---namely, to liber.
ate certain species of property which
| possess very repugnant to my own
feelings, but which imperative neces-
sity compels, until expenses not in my
power to avoid (however well l may
be disposed to do it) can be de.
frayed."

Shall the Free State Party Vote at
the October Election2

We considered this subject last
week, and we then showed that fraud,
raScality and villainy, those danger
ous and Characteristic clements which
the Free State party heretofore have
had to contend with, are to bear
against us at the Fall election, and
that all efforts to redress our gricvan.
ces at the ballot-toxes, so long as they
are under the control of the bogus
government and the Border RuffianS,
would prove unavailing. 1t is a set
tied matter that no one can vote ut this
election without having first paid a
tax and we have heard it asserted
and by good authority-that no one
can vote whose name is not registered
on the Border-Rullian census-list.-
With these facts in vi,w, then we see
no use of pursuing the question any
farther. If we cannot vote with sue
cess, then it will be fool.hardiness to
attempt it,

Arrival Of More Aurora People.

Mr.. CLIFFORD arrived in town last
week, accompanied by Messrs. N.
Oms. LOREN OTIs. WARD N. SHED,
HENRY Coz and WM. HACKNEY
They arc oil delighted with our town

GIFToRD informs us that he has pur-
chased S2, 900 worth of castings, in
Guiding plows, harows, &C., which
he. designs bringing into this market
as soon as there is sufficient demand
for such articles. Mr.. OTIs is the
proprietor Of a hardware store in
Aurora, and if he removes, will
undoubtedly engage in some similar
business here. Mr.. SHED isa surveyor,
and Messrs. Coz and HACKNEY are
carpenters. They are just such men
as are needed in Prairie City, and we

The Declaration" Repudiated in
Egypt.

1t is said that in a certain town in
Southern Illinois, ON the 4th of July,
the highly Democratic population,
having heard something of the here
tic character of the Declaration of
Independence, refused to hear it read,
till a wag asserted it was written by
Senator Douglas.
The reader was then allowed to
proceed, but when he came to the
passage declaring "all men created
equal" the sturdy Democratic spirit
could bear it no longer, ant. the crowd
went off cursing the "abolitionists"
and declaring that douglas was
too good a Democrat to write such
stuff"

Voice of the Northern Press.

We publish on our first page of
this number, extracts from some of
our Eastern exchanges, for the pur-
pose of showing our readers that the
sympathy which was extended us by
the North dming our struggles Of the
past two years in not yet abatod, but,
on, the contrary, is more fervid and
ardent thanever. While the position
we have taken in refusing to pay tax
es and diSclaiming allegiance to the
puhy bastard offspring of whisky
swilling invaders and usmpers, is
considered reasonable by the slavery
propagating Khan Of Kanzas, the
followers Of the quintessence, COM
pound concentrated extract of dough-
faceism and demagogueism--S. AR
MOLD D0uglaS-the South and the
pro.slavery Administration, we have
the consoling reflection that the North
the noble, the intelligent, the lib
erty-loving North,--is with us, and
that in the event we, who are far from
being guilty Of such heinous crimes
as were the rebels of '76, should from
necessity be compelled to resist by
arms the encroachments upon rights
by federal troops, we may expect as
sistance and "lnaterial aid " from
them. Our position is well under
stood hy our friends in the North,
and correct knowledge Of that po-
sition, by all lovers Of humanity and
Justice, cannot but win for us their
sympathics, their prayers and their
aid. That we stoutly refuse to be
dragooncd into submissio IN OF
Missouri laws by soldiery held sub
servient to the will Of drunken
representation of a corrupt govern
ment, they are aware, and knowing
that fact, tacitly exclaim, "You are
right We are with you !" Have
we reason to doubt that we are in
want of friends ?

Wyandott and Southern Kanzas
Stage Route.

BY the proceedings published in
another column it will be seen that
movement is on foot to greatly en-
hance the travelling facilities for en-
igrants to Southern Kanzas. 1t is
proposed to establish a line of Stages
from Wyandott, which is the near
est point on the Missouri river to
Southern Kansas, directly to Neosho
City. Glancing over .the map we
find that Olathe, Gardner, Prairie
City, Centropolis, and Sac Agency,
are in the line of this route, and if
the citizens of those towns are fully
awake to the Importance of the pro-
;ect, it cannot fail to succeed.
Many of the people in the States
who design emigratlng to Kanzas,
have their eye on the Neosho and
Cottonwood country, and the present
means of reaching those sections,
when public conveyance is brought
into requisition, is Via. Lawrence.
Thus many miles of tedious and un-
necessary travel are now attendant
on the emigrant, which would be
avoided were the contemplated line
of stages established.
The advantages these town will
derive from having such an impor-
tant line of stages passing through
them, are too plainly seen for us to at
tempt topoint them out. Itis hoped
that the interest which the importance
of the project demands, will be prop
erly manifested by these towns by be-
ing ably represented at the meeting
in Prairie City, on the Cd Sept.

Keitt, of South Carolina, has pub
lished n letter iiercely denouncing

proposition to refer tho constitution
to the people is worse than Black Re-
publicauism-Alit is French Red Re-
pnblicanismt He threatens to de-
nounce Mr. Buchanan, if he proves
to be implicated in Walkers treach-
cry to the South, and concludes:
II believe from all the signs, that
the democracy will be defeated in
1860; and while | entertain this be-
lief | shall not conceal it. I believe
that the safety Of the South Ii only
in herself. The road to federal hon
ors should not bo over her rights, nor
should betrayal and treachery be tho
passport to federal favor. My advice,
then, to tho South is, to havN somo
mot absolute confidence in tho ma
tional democratic party, and TO keep
hor powder dry. The latter is much
more likely TO save bor, than the
former"
