The ezra of Good Feeling"

We have been wont to read. in the Her.
aid Of Freedom, for few weeks past, great
deal about the 'tfera of good feeling" in
which the good qualities and clever dispo-
sition of Gen. Eastin, of the Leavenworth
Herald, have been highly extolled. Will
the Herald of Freedom tell US whether it is
an evidence of such stgood feeling on the
part of Gen. Eastin, when he classes with
the Free State party, every Fuffian of his
own party who has rendered himself an
outlaw, and brought down the scorn and
hatred of every honest man upon his head?
And is it an evidence of this "good feel
ing,'''' for Gen. Eastin, whenever one Of these
rufians receives just punishment, to an
nounee that Free State man has been muir
dered by his own party, because he was
conservative? 5ieT 9 sza E1t'el--

Organisation of the Democracy" !"

We pablished last week, a call for q 'Con-
vention of the Conservative men of Kan
sas,'' to be held at <Leavenworth, on the
25th of November. The Convention met
according to the call and proceeded to or
ganize.. Joel K. Goodin turned up as Pres
ident. assisted by DIR. Davis, Col. lsaacks,
H. Miles Moore (of Topeka Constitution
memory Jimmy (evangelical) Christian,
and several others of like character as Vice
Presidents. 80 -iaz ra il.sf 81
1t does not appear in the report of the
proceedings that there was very full turn
out, or that the interior of Kansas was very
well represented. Lecompton briggs was
there, representing Thanksgiving Walsh.
and the balance of the "Old Infirmary" IN
fuence. Col Dickey represented the mum
mics of Topeka, and Christian was there to
speak fer the .sorthodox"-es of Lawrence

resented the Buchaneers of Wyandott; and
the balance of the delegates appear to have
been from LeayeuForth City. Gen.. Eas-

PlatSoym 0f this Kansas Democracy.
The following is the platform laid doHn
BY the Democracy at their late Convention
at Leayenworsh - -. - r
WEKRzAs, The causes which have hither-
to divided and estranged the people of Kan
sss. no longer exist and whereas, the mem
hers of this Convention, animated by sin
cere devotion to the Constitution and the
Union, the rights of the States, and the
sovereign and reserved rights of the peo-
pie and being profoundly impressed with
the importance and necessity of political
organization which shall embody aRd render
effective these sentiments, We do hereby
agree to unite and be known as the Demo
cratic party of Kansas, and as such *.
!. Resolved. That We affirm our abiding
faith and confidence in the PRINCIPLES of the
Democratic party, as enuneiated In the
Cincinnati Platform. ,g ,fJ...s.sf zea.rr
2. That the people of this Territory are
indebted to the Democratic party for the
passage of the Kansas Nebraska Act, which
opened this magnificent domain to settle
ment, and recognized their sovereign right,
and their capacity to form and regulate their
institutions in their own way.
8. That we repudiate the dogma of the
Republican party, ..that Congress has SOW
ereign power over the Territories of the
United States for their government" as a
denial of the right and the capacity of the
people to govern themselves, and declare eur
devotion to the principles of popular sover
eighty, and our hostility to Congressional
despotism. - ss e4..s ~ BE =
5, That great danger is to he apprehend
ed from the negro equality tendencies of the
Republican panty. as manifested in their va
rious, conventions, and ipasmuch as the sla-
very question is settled beyond the posi-.
bility of furiher controversy we hereby
declare in favor of the entire exclusion of
free negroes fpom the future State.of Kansas.
Then follow few resolutions of local
character. which, not being part of the
platform, and of no Importance, and being
crowded for space, We omit them.

nifacn1tiea in Linn County.

=
For several weeks past there have been
indications of . disturbanee in Linn eouh-
ssasy-a breaking out of the old sore. which
Il was supposed had been healed by the
truce agreed upon Between Gov. Denver
and Capt. Montgomery by which the for.
m n,er withdrew the U. S. troops from thai
region. rsmossd the obnoxious spyo-slayery
u officials andsrepiaced them. With Free State
men and agreed that Montgomery should
: be allowed to resume bis business without
fear of arrest-the latter sagreeing. in con-
sideratiea therefor. to Withdraw with his
men from the field, and suspend operations
entirely. Montgomery. relying upon the
faithful performance of the contract, full
filled his portion of it. and turned his at
gtehtion to his long neglected family and
farm. Everything seemed to go on well
until few weeks since, when rumers be-
gan to be circulated that the Grand Jury at
s. the session Of the District Court soon TO be
= held in Linn county, would be instructed
to find bill of indictment against Mont
gomery for his participation in driving out
pro-slayery men during the difficulties
About this time, too, murderous assault
was made nPon Montgomery in his own
house. under cover of night, by a party of
dozen armed men. This of course crea-
: ted much feeling. Various circumstances
occurring at this time. gave evidence of a
determination on the part of the pro-slave-
and al -o4
Montgomery to drive him from the country
3 or kill HIM. This led to retaliatory acts
from Montgomery and his friends. "A, war
= rant has been issued for the arrest of Mont.
gomery, bat be has NOT been taken, and
says he will not be- iaziue. Warrants for
the arrest of most of his company have al
so been issued. From present appearances,
Y we fear that these things will end in the
shedding of blood, and general distur-
bance in the county. - -.
Iu Bourbon county, too, there seems to
= have been like breaking out. From the
5 conflicting statements and accounts receiv-
ed from the seat of the difficulties. we are
not able to arrive at satisfactory conclu
sion in regard 10 the responsibility of the
e outbreak. 1t is doubtless the nursed and
: smothered hate which has been engenderedI
during the former difficulties, which has
blazed out anew-the remembrance of
wrongs for which vengeance is demanded.
as If the past is to be revived, and the law
put into operation against Free State men
who participated in the, difficulties which
grew ont of the Missouri invasion, there
will never be an end to these things. It.
was bad enough to be obliged-fron the
prostitution of the law by set of fends-I
to take up arms in ones own defence with
out being visited with legal persecution for
r it, when the law has regained its supremacy.

decision has recently been given by Al
