BLACK REPUBLICAN LEGES-
LAEURE.

When the last Legislature closed its
labors there was a general "thank God
went up from all the parties of the State.
Even our black republican neighbors of
the Gazette of this cityjoined in the al
most universal ccnsure of the r"np
legislature. What it said of proposed
amendments to the Constitution can be
read again without disadvantage. 1t
was like a good deal that was done by
that anomalous body. The editor Of
the Columbus Gazette was formly in a
similar capacity with the Ohio Journal:
and was sergeant alarms of one of the
smelling committees. He said : States
man.
The bill provided among other things
that, at the next October election, the
electors voting for the proposed amend
ment No. l., should write On their bal
lots-Annual cssions-Ycs.' and those
voting against, should write on their
ballots-:Annual Sessions No. that those
voting for Amendment No. 2, should
write on their ballots-"District Courts
Yes" and those voting against it
District Courts-No," that those voting
for amendment No. 3, should write on
their ballots-"Equal Taxation-1es,"
and thosevoting againt it-"Equal Tax
ation-No,'' that those voting for
Amendment No. 4, should write on
their ballots-"Corporations-1es, and
those voting against it-'Corporations
No." and that those voting for No. 5,
should write on their, ballots, "Singie
Districts - Yes and those voting
against it,-"Single Districts-No."
There were several objections made
to the bill, the principal of which was
to the provision which required the
electors in voting for or against the
third amendment, to write on the bal
lots, Equal Taxation-Ies," or, Equal
Taxation-No," as the case might be.
1t contended that this placed the minor
ity in the Legislature, who voted against
the proposed amendment, No. in a
false position, by conveying the idea
that they were opposed to equal taxation.
Moreover, it was insisted that this mode
Of voting was a mere claI-.rap to catch
votes for the amendment. Those voting
for the amendment would be said to be
in favor of equal taxation, and those
voting against it, to be opposed to equal
taxation of property. D~emagogues
would ask the electors, care you in ia
vor of equal taxation? If you are, then
vote the ticket which has on its face
Equal Taxation-Yes.' Thiswould be
a potent argument Of which the major
ity were quite unwilling to avail them
selves.

no TUEY Desire II,

During the campaign OF o6, every
Republican press and stump orator
throughout the North were vocifer-
Gus in their shricks for freedom in Kan
sas. For the avowed purpose of rescu-
ing that fair territory from the blight of
African Slavery, the Republican press
teemed daily with the most scathing
denunciations of what they chose to call
a mock Democracy, or pro-Slavcry
oligarchy. The burthen oftheir wailings,
and the yearnings of their most fervent
petitions, seemed to be, that Kansas
might secure for herself a free constituS
ton. When assured by the Democrat
ic press that it was the desire fthc De-
mocracy ofthe North that Kansas should
be consecrated to freedom, yot they
would not resort to illegal or unwarrant-
able means to secure that end; the as
surance was received with contempt and
abuse, and a quietus placed upon the
whole affair, by what was thought the
magic cry of "Fremont and Free Kan
sas."-The cry of freedom must evcr be
dear. to an American citizen, and the
disguised hobby was numerically rode
throughout the campaign of SO, If
the Republican party then wished Kan
sas to frame for herself a Free Constl-
tuition, why not work for the same end
at this time? we can see no good rea-
son for a change of policy; freedom is
Just as dear in Kansas now, and will be
for all time to come, as it was during
the political excitement of SO. But do
they really wish for Kansas a Free Con-
stitution, and that she be admitted into
the Union a free State? If aught can
be inferred from the acts, and the avow-
ed D of the leaders of that party,
we are justified in the conclusion that
they do not.
The Kansas correspondent of the
New York Journal Of Commerce, says
Jim Lane (the Black Republican Hero
and Martyr) has declared that if the
constitutional convention shall report a
constitution as pure as an emanation
from heaven-nay, if th2y should adopt
the Topeka Constitution itsef, it shall
not be ratified by the people if he can
command the power to defeat it. They
have shown their hostility to the peace
able formation ola Free Constitution in
Kansas, first by dissuading Free State
men there from voting for delegates,
and secondly by avowing their intention
to reject the Constitution reported, even
though it be a: perfect specimen of free
dom. 1t is not their intention to be sat
isfed-it is not their wish that this fire
brand of slavery agitation should be so
quietly cxtinguishcd. In the IVA
of So, it was the only point around
which the opposite elements of factions
could strike a common cord and rally
and now it would be suicidal indeed
if they let this the last vestige of
declining hope, be swept away by the
quiet admission of Kansas as 4 Free

LET IT SLIDE.-Rev. VIM. Bcccher,
in a speech at North Brookfeld on the
4tll, is said to have made use of the
following expression "God help the
Union to slide to pcrdition."
When SO many of his sclf-styled min
listers sre giving it a lift that way: says
the Boston Post, we don't see much in
consistency in the request. 1t would
not be unorthodox to reply that only
the devil has an interest in the peopling
of perdition, and that his calling on
God for help shows that consummate
~impudcnce has not ceased to he the
least of Satanic virtues. Seriously, the
reverend g~entleman's invocation, or i'm
prccation rather, is what would be
deemed in a layman little short Of BIAS
phemy.
