Black-Reppblican UrpocrisY.

The Washington Union says with truth
that the most arranJ hypocrite to be found
is the Black Republican, who pretends to
be houiiied because the whole OF Kansas
constitution is no: submitted to the peo-
pie Of the Territory for ratification or re-
lection. This same Black Republican was,
and is, the advocate Of the Topeka consti-
tuition, that was made by body of ire
sponsible fanatics, who assembled in open
deionce OF the laws Of the Territory, usur-
ped the power to sit rs constitutional con-
vention, made a constitution in open hos
tility to the legal authority, refused to sub
any portion to the people for ratification
or rejection, but sent it to Congress, and
there insisted that it. was the true and le-
gitimate constitution of Kansas. Theh
crit now pretends TO be shock ed that the le-
gally constituted convention of Kansas has
failed to submit any other than the clause
for the judgment OF the people. Such bra
zen-iaeed eiirontery and shameless hypoc-
rsy deserve to be secuted and despised by
all true national men,

morning meal The young wife had pre-
pared the steak, biscuit and coffee with
her own hands, and for a table had used
her kneadng- board, over which a napkin
was spread, and the board placed on her
lap. The New Yorker declined seat at
