Review of the Territorial Erc,.-

If any man wants to form a eo,,.-
bic opinion of some of the northern Al.
let them read their abomible slans.,;'
fof this editor.
Ehe fact of the matter is G. W.B.o,
will not suffer himself to be the ~, =,

.1he Kansas Herald o. r-..a.., n
July lSsh says, that a very large majority
/ Of the people are opposed to any further
action under the Topeka Constitution
which the Rochester Union quotes. Tie
/ Detroit Tribune replies by saying: u,
was timely expose we made few dar,
ago of the treachery of the Hran If
Freedom. We concluded ii would furnish
/ a large share of ammunition for the locotoco
press, and already the fact is apparent that
such will be she case. But let US see how
much truth there is in the abovs aller..
ton quoted by the, .lscofoco organ a.
Rochester. At'the recent Free State Con.
vention held al Topeka, about two hundred
Delegates were present from every part Of
the Territory and it was unanimously rs-
solved to stand by that Constitution. No
more emphatic expression of the views Of
, the ,rhole people on this subjee, could Be
! made Sc e. fe
I The last sentence We assert is entirely
false. BY the same process of reasoning
the Tribune could make the constitutional
convention Just, adjourned the roice Of The
whole people.
Whenever truth furnishes ammunition for
any party, whether It be 'locoloco,' Repub-
> lican or Know Nothing. we say success To-
that party. When BRowS said that q
very large majority of the people were op-
posed TO any further action under the 10.
: peka Constitution. he knew it to be frsfH
as everybody now knows here, and he
wanted to let the States know il TOO. Hs
