Judge Parker, and here il the evidence, cited
from document whose authenticity and validity
YOU will not dare to dispute-namely, the Platform
of the last National Democratic Convention-that
which met at Cincinnati and nominated Mr.
Buchanan fer the Presidency. Hear hear

equality with the other States.
Here is broad affirmation of the right OF
Territory to exclude Slavery ,chen 1t taxes on me
character ola State; but no where Is there any
affirmation or implication Of their night 10 do any!
thing of the sort while they remain in the condition
of Territory. On the contrary, hall dozen
direct efforts TO affirm the right of the People OF
a Territory to exclude Slavery have been voted
down by the Parker Democrats in Congress 80
Judge Parker, in declaiming against those VINO
deny TO the People Of a Territory equal rights with
the People of State, actually denounce' that snsm
Democracy which has made him its standard
bearer.
Mr.. Parker proceeds to assert that Kansas Is
Free-thst she has been made so by the act OF her
own People-snd by virtue Of the doctrine OF non
Intervention. To all which we reply:
/. Kansas is not y., Free. She is this hour a
Slave Territory, in which men, women and
children are held in bondage, sold as chattels' and
anti-SaveIy Sherifs have BEEN and may any day be
required by law to seize them on execution, and
sell them by auction for the satisfaction of debts
1t is but few months since President Buchanan
declared her as much SlayehOlding as Alabama or
Georgia The whole power of the Federal Ad'
ministration, backed by Judge Parker and those
who are now supporting him for Governor, was
exerted throughout the last Session to force her
into the Union as a Slave State. That falling, they
tried TO bride her to come in as such, but their
brides were spurned by a vast majority OF her
People. That she is not now Slave State, there
fore. she owes to no Democratic doctrine OF non
intervention, but to the fact that the utmost efforts
of that party have not sufficed TO overcome her
stubborn resistance.
Nor is that resistance the casual and spontaneous
sentiment which Judge Parker represents It, On
the contrary the peopng of Kansas within corrupt
IDLE Free State men was the work OF that same
spirit that gave the votes of eleven States Tor
President to John c. Fremont, and beat Judge
Parker as candidate for Governor by over 10000
majority Three-fourths of the present inhabitants
of Kansas were impelled thther by their devotion
70 the Free-State cause. Many of them have en-
dured priyatons and losses, and braved perils to
which no personal advantage could have recon-
ciled them. Thousands who never saw, and never
expected tn see Kansas contributed freely to make
her Free State. Arms food. clothing, money,
were given, 10 defiance of oblOquy and calumny,
from Judge Parker's partizans, to promote the
great end; and thus the Pro-Slavery hordes who
thrice beleagured, and once devastated Law
renee and, just two years ago, swept Leayenworth
clean of every known Free-State man, killing VIM.
Phillips in his own house for no other offense
than being one of them We're finally made to recoil
and disappear From first to last, Judge Parkers
Democratic party has been the ally and patron
of the ProSayery ruffians in Kansas and the enemy
of tbe Free. Sfete Of tho tons nf thousands
contributed throughout the Free-States to sustain
the champions Of Free Labor, We believe less than
one hundred dollars in all were given by Buchanan
Democrats; while the Border Rufiian militia have
been paid for rsvagng the homes of Free-State
settlers out of the Federal Treasury, and the Pro-
Slavery leaders, including the notorious murderers
of unoiFendng Free-State men, have had Office
after Office conferred upon them by our Democratic
Presidents. The last case Of this favoritism which
has come under our notice is the appointment OF
the infamous S. j. Jones, bogus Sheriff OF Douglas
County and leader at the burning OF Lawrence to
be Collector of Revenue in Arizona, which he
and his brother ruffians are now intriguing to sub
jugate to Slavery. Does Judge Parker believe
that the true way to defeat their Vaccinations is to
do nothing 1.-The does, the People Of New-lork
do not agree with him.
We trust that the little show of excitement
which appears on the surface, in relation to our
approaching State election is not really indicative
