Kansas Again.

Kansas Again.
We spoke out last week against the Kansas
Constitution, or rather the manner in which il
was submitted to the people of the Territory, and
we intend to maintain our position. We will
not, cannot prove false to the great doctrine OF
popular sovereignty. Several able articles VIII be
iound in other portions of our paper, protesting
against tEe admission of Kansas by Congress
with Constitution forced upon her people,
which they do not approve, by denying them
the right of Il fair expression at the ballot-box.
This Is the Democratic sentiment North and
South, East and West and as far as We can learn
is almost universally supported by the Demo-
cratic press. The Louisville (Kcntueky) Do1n-
ocrat, whose editor, Col. Harney, is a promi-
nent candidate for United States Senator, is
very emphatic against the action of the COnsti-
tutIonal Convention and the admission oil the
Territory in the manner proposed. 1t very
truthfully shows that the admission of State
into the Union does not mean dragged in against
her wish or in manner repugnant to her peo-
pie.
The main feature of the Democratic party for
the last three campaigns has consisted in tine
advocacy and maintenance Of the principle Of
popular sovereignty. No other doctrine has
stood prominent for years, and upon its virtues
and true merits the Democracy have nobly tri-
uInpheu over the defaners of the kansas-N Ne
braska act, into which it was engrsfted. That
act expressly declares that the people of the
Territory shall "regdte their domestic Institutions
in their Oun ray" and 4 moments reason would
dictate that Constitution framed by twenty
eight men without ratification by the people, is
not carrying out this principle. All power
emanates from the people in a republican gov
ernment, and the refusal against their demand,
of Constitutional or Legislative body, elected
by the people. to submit TO them that which i'm
mediately concerns their political and domestic
rights, is inconsistent Herewith and anti DEM
ocrtic. In the ease Of Kansas, the people de-
mand the Uhoie Constitution to be submitted for
their ratification rejection, and consequently
their will and wish is set at defiance by the
Convention. We therefore hope, and confident
ly believe. that when the Constitution is pre-
sented to Congress. that body will refer it back
to the people of the Territory, unless it is adopt!
by q majority of the voters upon the present pro-
posed form of submission.-HolmesC County Far
mcr, Dee. 10.
Now we imagine we hear the reader say
'this is sound doctrine and will vote for
no man for Congress who favors or votes
to fasten this Lecompton Constitution up
on the people of Kansas against their will
Now listen TO what this same paper, the
Holmes County Farmer of April 8, said
after the vote for and against Lecompton
had been taken: seen. Burns of this
District voted in the negative WITHTHE
LECOMPTONITES!!" Does any
man want more proof! Do not take our
word for It or that of the Editors of the
Farmer, but go to the Records Of Congress

Eg The Democracy had meeting at
Napoleon in this county on Saturday last.
From the description given of it by those
who were there, it must have been rich
affair. One man said he neyer saw so ma
ny offers to fight declined in his life. An
other, when asked whether Bridebucher,
our old Commissioner was there, said no,
and when asked as to who was there, said,
"nobody but lot of d Id dutch who
came there 10 dance and get drunk" The
speeches were some, the gathering was
some, and the proceedings there and on The
way home were considerable if not more.

"An OverSrOWn Infant
that ought TO be Weaned.o

We are informed that Gen. Burns is 90
inc about complaining of his poverty, and
| begging votes to re-elecL him to Congress,
that he may have something to live on i'll
his old age.
We would suggest to Gen. Burns that,
if he had not spent S4OO in buying votes
for his nomination, and ifhe would not now
distribute so many $40 gold pieces to Sc
sure his election, he would be better off
after the election.
With what face Gen. Burns can make
this plea, the following statement will show:
Long before General Burns beard had
grown, or he was entitled to a vote, he act
ed for years as deputy TO Gen. Johnston.
In 1922, he was the FEDERAL RE-
PUBLICAN" candidate for Auditor Of
Coshoclon county, but was beaten by DIR.
McGowan. In 1884, he was again can
didate for Auditor, and was elected. He
then turned jackson man, and continued
to hold that office tor FOURTEEN
YEARS in succession. During six years
of this time, from 1929 to 1885, he held,
in addition, the office County Recorder
He was afterwards elected to the Ohio
Legislature. He was clerk of the Cour,
seven years, from 1912 10 lS49, and now
he Is serving his frs: and last term in
Congress. ...s .,rs-. .-1--..-
How much money has he received?
A very moderate calculation would give
him 81 900 a year, for fourteen years as
Auditor; or $4,000.
Five hundred dollars year for six years,
as Recorder, would be $4,000,
As member of the Legislature, he must
have received about $1,000.
The Clerks office is now worth from So
500 TO $4,000 year, and while Generai
Burns held the office the fees were higher
the Clerk issued all licences, and did all
the business now done by the Probate
Court, which amounts to about Sl,200-a
wear, the office then could not have been
worth less than $4,000 year: and this
for seven years would be $4,000. And
his salary and perquisites, without saying
any thing about the price of his votes on
Lecompton, will be 81 800, as member OF
Congress.
For his services as deputy under Gen.
Johnston, for several years, we can safely
say he received $500,
Then we get the amount:
As Deputy TO Gen, Johnston, $500
AS Auditor. $4,000
AS Recorder, 5000
As Representative, 1000
As Clerk, $1,000
As Member Of Congress, $4,000

Democrats Read!

MIR. CASTOR who held forth In the
Court-Heuse on Thursday evening, is the
Editor Of a Democratic paper published in in
Mt. Vernon. Like you, when he heard
that Cen Burns had voted for Lecomp-
ton, he felt indignant. He felt that BURNS
had trampled upon the wishes of his con-
stituents and had nothing to expect of them
but their scorn. He expressed himself
very freely about the General, through his
paper. In one article he said that BuRxs
if rcnomnated, "couid not erpeet and pould
not get one7AaLf the Democratic Uotes Of
Rnor county" But this man GAsroN
has suddenly been converted. He, now
goes for Burns, Slavery and all. Here is
another article taken from his paper before
the nomination was made. Is it not rs
true now as when written:
Alas! we say it more in sorrow than in
anger, when the time of trial came, our
Representative deserted has post. From
some cause, hitherto unexplained and per-
haps unexplainable, he turned his back
upon has .triends-upon the people whose
sutfrages had made him what he was, and
fell into the ranks of those who were labor
ina to crush out the DEMOCRATIC
PRINCIPLES OF POPULAR SOVER-
EIGHTY. Upon every pote that was ia
ken-upoa every phase in which the
question was presented, has voice acas still
for LeeomptOn.H is useless to attempt has
defense, to seek by evasion or equivoeation,
to pallate what has been done. The facts
are upon the record, and cannot be misua-
derstood. Mr.. Burns has done MS work

We find in the Orsgoaaa, of Oct 9th, the following
touching recital of visit TO Stcpoes battlefield spot
now hallowed in our history;

Lahtoo Nedwhuald creek detached Major Grer with
three companies of dagoons to visit Colonel Steptoes

Mullen, with his party sent to determine the posi-
ton of and make inap of the battlefield and Lieut.

Lieut.. Gregg and Or Randoip, who had both been
present in Steptoes engagement and Ieuts Pendre and
Howard also sent to pay the last respects to the
mains of men ruthessly butchered, while acting
the pioneers for people who will remember 10 mem
ton with praise the names of Taylor and CASTOR wsea
the fame of many shall have grown dim.
q At IL, m. they reached the battlefield which was
marked by OF sad desoation. The bones
of lay scattered, bleaching DER the prairie hills
for miles around for during the heat OF battle the bodies
of all could not be recovered and the retreat made
at dark of night, time had to give sepulure
many who had fallen and hence the Gcd showed that
both wolves and sayages had not been absent this

the bones and remains of all, in order 10 give them
