Besides the folly Of imposing upon any portion of
our people the duty Of waging private war, the evil
effects TO the government of that kind Of neglect can
hardly be overstated. Parsinony in war; says
distinguished British writer, is the worst extrava-
gance." We greatly fear that this sentiment is bet
ter illustrated by our Indian policy than anywhere
else on the globe. They are race Of people who
regard only what they see as formidable and henco

force just sufficient to bait them on TO acts of war
we compelled subsequently to edopt the latter as
patrimony Of our neglect
We do not see any report in our California files Of

declaration at Cincinnati OF the party which nomina
ted him to the presidency had plsdsed him to this
abstinence.
Not only did the law, (the Kansas Nebraska act)
aided by the Cincinnati declaration enoin noninter-
vonticn upon the federal Executive but it declared
that the decision Of the local authorities Oh this ques
ton should be binding upon the Executive, requiring
that they should DO left perfectly free to settle
their own affairs in their own way so that the
President, however distasteful tho non-submission
might have been to him, was bound TO acauiesce in
and support the action of the regular local tribunal
which did have the decision Of that question.
Nor was the action of this convention Of Lecomp-
ton, if rcprehensiblo at all reprehcnsible as not
to leave it within the power Of the people Of Kansas
by lawful action, to correct all wrongdoing in the
promises Tho convention did submit to popular
vote the real question of controversy; and if the
majority had chosen to vote patriotic and orderly
citizens always do, no harm could have been done
10 the prejudices of those who pretended TO be
aggrieved.
II is not our purpose, however, to 60 over this
disagreeable subject again. We merely wish to
draw tho attention Of the country to the conflicting
principles Of policy which tho opposition have adopt
ed secondhand from the democracy, and by exposing
this Inconsistency, which they have adopted by de-
sign and for a fraudulent purpose. to refue out Of
their own platform their fierce charges against the
President and against tho democratic party having
fals6ed their pledges in their action upon the Le-
compton constitution.
In reply to all these false charges it is sufficient
to reply that they have adopted the same conflicting
declarations in their new coalition platform which
produced the trouble of last winter in the democratic
party and which, if they arc honest, will compel them
in all cases Of non-submission of constitutions by
local tribunals to pursue precisely the same course
that was pursued in the Of Kansas by the Pres
dent and tho democratic party.
