To the Free State Voters Of Kanzas

Tho Executive Territorial Com
mittee, appointed by the late Grass
hopper, Falls Convention, learn with
extreme modification that side issues
are being introduced into the politics
Of the Territory, in different locali-
ties, the tendency Of which is to di-
vide.and distract the party, and great
ly reduce tho Free State vote. In
SONS localities, divisions are liable
to arise, growing out Of desire to
adjourn the Territorial Legislature in
favor Of a.State organization. We
beg our friends Of the cause to be
wholly silent on that suSject in their
local election; but leave it to- the
good sense Of majority Of the Free
State members, when convened, and
the circumstances surrounding them
at the time of the assemblago of the
Legislature, to guide them in the
contingency. ,..
In othsl localities the enemies OF
freedom are introducing the location
Of county seats as source OF dis
cord. That our enemies will be fruit
full in their inventions to circumvent
us, and will lresort to every expedien-
cy in their power to distract, there is
no doubt; but the members Of the
Free State party who are guided by
PRINCIPLE, will not listen for mo-
ment to any influences which may
tend to q division of our strength.
The location Of county seats will be
settled by q fair vote Of all the resi-
dents Of county, or by some other
Just and equitable arrangement and
tho people will not allow such ques-
tions to influence them in their elect
ions. In nominations, select good
and true men let tho only interrog-
atory be "Will he labor by an hon
ornble means to make Kanzas o Free
State, and is ho honest and capable?"
These intcrogatories, answered in the
affirmative, should secure to the can.
didate every Free State vote in the
district. This done, in a,few months
the great sources Of discord will be
settled, the common interest will be
subserved, freedom fully established,
and our local matters can then be
looked after without endangoring the
freedom Of the country, 0. hazard
ing d cause which has engaged the
earnest attention Of good men and
true in all parts Of the country.

Sir; In looking over your paper Of

the subscriber wishes to join his des-

eye, and also his appreciation, let
him communicate through the Chan-

dress is not known. Now there are
some things that l wish to be made
known, so that right understanding

is this; Should be so fortunate as

tain to the family circle. Now, in
regard to my personal beauty, I leave
that for other people to say, which
has been acknowledged by host Of
admirers, to be the very ideal of beau
ty and witticism: therefore, I feel
myself qualified to fill the bill that is
required. Now I would state few
facts in respect to a married life, al
though I cannot speak from personal
experience in the matter ; yet from
occular demonstrations, I can say
that there are great number Of family
circles that are everything else bu1
concord and harmony to my knowl
edge of them, and the reason is, be-
cause a faithful portraiture of them
selves was not given in the premises
As for me, I would say that I neveI
