AThrust from the Leading Organ
Of the Spoils Party. ,,,

The Topeka Constitution will never
be the fundamental law of this Ter
ritory. Itis gettingtquite as stale as
the Lecomptoh Constitution. If cer-
tain leading omen in Kanzas dpnot
cease their efforts in forcing that in
strumeht on the people, we will pub
FISH certain facts in regard to the man
herithe Delegates were elected from
eaetdistrict in the Territory, by which
certain features were, engrafted upon
that instrument, which are obnoxious
to every genuine anti-slavery man in
the1TAFitory:i iWearep prepared with
sone'ofiicial documents, and can pro-
care affidavits when the proper time
eoYfes, whichnwill make some men
stand from Under The less we hear
about Topeka, the better twill be for
these men. .-4Herald Of Freedom.
Nov we would like to know what
motives prompt Mr.. BRowN in ma
king such insinuating Aings against
an instrument that has repeatedly
Been demonstrated to be the unani-
NOUS choice ofthc people Of Kanzas.
The last election held in the Terrific
fyShowed that the entire vote of all
its inhabitants numbered but little
oTer" 1000, tf which 5000, no lon
ger ago than last August, were polled
in favor of tho Topeka Constitution.
Attheilargest. the most enthusiastic,
and the most harmonious delegate
convention that ever assembled in the
Territory of Kanzas, held on the I'd
of December last, at Lawrence, the
Topeka Constitution was there deci-
ded to be its unanimous choice. AT
leastthree; ;fourths Of the entire people
Of the Territory are in favor Of the
sold Banner and we defy the ed
itor of the Herald Of Freedom to pro-
auee evidence to the contrary. 1t is
true he may bo able to mention the
names Of several influential andspoils-
seeking demagogues, who have clung
tolho Tdpekaskirts until either they
have become too impatient for its
emoluments, or that their true char
acters for unhallowed lust for office
became revealed and were spurned
with disguStby the people from the
leadership ranks, and consequently
were compelled to get upon a new
track oretiieVa themselves from their
waning and dcplorable condition, 6at
they are not Ms people ! The people
are in favor Of securing their rights
and advancing the interests Of Free
.
dom, irrespective of the effect upon
the chances of aspiring demagogueS.
Mr.. BRowN makes a threat that il
certain men don't conduct themselves
in a manner agreeable to his dicta-
tons, he'll F" blow on them" and let
some" cats out of the bag" that will
raise such nelCing as will cause sew
qrpl substantial pegs to be knocked
ont Of their political stands. If Mr..
BRowN Inowsof any villaipy having
been pcrpetrated BY any Of the lead
ers Of our party, his duty as q jour.
palist requires him to expose it, and
the pcoplo, are anxious to know the
men, nc, mattrlwho they ale. The
Herald Of Ireedoa' has lately had
several slight inSinuations against
tho conduct of some of our leaders
and unless it backs up its thrusts
with some substantial evidence apJ
fully applises tho people of the mcr
by whom thoy are deceived--if de-
oeivedthcy are~--they will dis. credit
jts statements and believe its stabs
