GLORIOUS VICTORY /!
THE GREAT BATTLE WON 4!
LEAvEHwoRrH REDEEHED
THE DEMOCRACY ROUTED !
FREEMEN, sHOUTI

We rejoice to lay before our readers
this morning. the splendid victory inst
achieved It is a triumph Of Freedom
over Slavery-right over wrong. The
unholy coalition has been driven to the
wall. The bitter and malignant opposi-
ton are forced to run up the Black Flag,
and ask for quarter. 1t has been engin-
-eered by a secret club, shotted to its lips
with Pro- Slavery Democracy, and its fall
will carry crushing weight to its allies in
other portions Of the country. They have
been 6rOled completely. and now present
the appearance Of dying quail.
Our enemy entered the conflict terribly
enraged-their best Generals leading the
forlOrn hOpe-which never charged unless
the field was Delaware or a KickapoO,
and this defeat is beyond all redemption.
Leavenworth County is placed glori-
ously, and we ardently believe, perma-
nently, on the side of Progress AM, Free
Institutions. We have elected our entire
ticket, and better one in all respects was
never nominated in any County.
All honor to our brave and gallant
party who have rescued the old flag from
the dirt !:LeavenUOrtk Daily Times.

REPUBLICAN ORsAxIzknos.-We pre-
sumo. by this time. the advocates Of a
Republican organization in Kansas. have
seen the folly of their. movement 1t has
well nigh proved fatal to the Free State
cause. In this County, with q Free State
majority of three or four hundred. it has
bOen reduced to less than ono hundred
This was principally brought about by
an attempt to organize Republican par
ty in the County. This was one Of the
principal charges of the enemy and al
though we, who never belonged to that
party, repe!led the charge, yet the fact
that the attempted organization was made,
and that many of the prominent men Of
the party were engaged in it, was stuck
at US; and many believed that. because
this was true, the entire party was Re-
publican. In Atchison County, the att
tempt was also made. Politics is there
SO cut up, that one cannot get at the head
or tail Of it. In Leavenworth County,
the Republican movement defeated the
Free State party in the recent municipal
election, and. but for extraordinary
efforts, would have had like effect in
the last election. In Douglas County,
the Free State party has.divided on this
question, and the only reason the Pro-
Slaveryites did not make. show there,
was because there are SO few of them.
The fact is, the Republican party can
not carry the Territory. They may have
large majorities in some of the COuntics
South of the Kansas River; but in the
Southern Counties, and the populous
Counties along the Missouri, they are
vastly in the minority. These Counties
have a majority Of the members Of the
Legislature and even if the Republicans
coald secure a majority of the popular
vote, they would be in minority in the
Legislature. The truth is plain. that all
attempts to organize the Republican par
ty in Kansas, will but prove disastrous to
the Free State cause.

ADMISSION OF KANsAs-WHAr THE
PRESIDENT SAYS ABOUT 1.-THE Hon. A.
G. Brown, U. S. Senator from Mississip-
pi, lately made speech in Vicksburg. on
the politics of the day. From this speech
we quote short paragraph which is very
significant as to the course of the present
administration on Kansas matters:
Mr.. B. said: "That he called on the
President before he left Washington, and
that Mr.. Buchanan assured him in the
most positive and unequivocal terms that
he would appoint no man to Office who
held the opinion that Kansas ought to be
admitted before she has a population
which would entitle her to a representa-
tive in Congress, according to the terms
of the conference bill, and that he ,couId
decapitdts erery office holder aOhO expressed
such belief"
We recommend the above to certain
persons in Doniphan County, who ran
after the ignus fatuus, Democracy, in the
recent election. They endorsed Democ-
racy, and Buchanan, its Dictator. After
spurning the English Swindle, they fell
into the Democratic ranks, and lent their
aid to carry into effect tho threat embra-
ced in that proposition. This is the po-
sitition in which those Free State men
have placed themselves, in permitting the
Pro-Slaveryites to "honeyfuggle" them
into the den of Democracy.
Democratic candidates for Congress in
the North. are promising, if the people
will elect them, to vote for the admission
of Kansas. when she presents Constitu-
ton legally framed, and ratified by a vote
of her people. no matter what her popu-
lation may be. Yet, at the same time,
they know Buchanan would veto a bill
for her admission, and that there is no
probability of there being a two-thirds
majority in favor of such bill and they
likewise know that the Senate is hope
lessly in the hands of Buchanan and the
Southern hierarchy, and would defeat any
bill for the admission of Kansas as Free
State. Such is Democracy, and such
Democracy has been endorsed by persons
in Kansas, who pretend to be Free State
men.

Discomfort AMONG THE FREE NEGROES
OF CUBA.-The Havana correspondent Of
the New York Herald, writes as follows
of certain symptoms Of disaiTcction among
the free blacks Of Cuba. which have al
really excited the attention Of the Govern
ment:
am advised that there is a sejitious
circular moving the masses of our free
colored population, which has been dis
tributed in all parts of the island among
this class, with great secreey-a copy Of
which / am promised-the idea and SEN
timent being got up in something like the
following words
To The Colored Freeuea of Cuba You
that are strong in numbers and in all
physical capacities-inured to privation
and labor-having equal intelligence and
political rights with the white man. capa-
bic of all and every effort that man can
make, how is It that you allow the white
man to press his heel upon your throat {?
To which words respond: o.
We are aware of our ability to endure
and to resist but we want method We
want arms we want leader with intel
ligencc and nerve for the task. Give us
these, show MS the way, and we are ready
to throw off the yoke Of white oppression

The ENGLISH BILL.-Here is the re-
strictive clause in the English Bill. Of
which so much is said Just now:
"But. should a majority Of the votes
be cast for the proposition rejected il
shall be deemed and held that the people
of Kansas do not desire admission into
the Union under the said Constitution.
under the coalitions set forth in said prop
osition and. in that event, the people Of
said Territory are hereby authorized and
empowered to form for themselves a Con-
stitution and State Government, under
the name of the State of Kansas, accord
ing to the Federal Constitution, and may
elect delegates for that purpose whenever.
AND NOT BEFORE, it is ascertained,
by a census duly and legally taken, that
the population Of SAID Territory equals
the ratio of representation required for a
member Of the House Of Representatives
Of the United States" &c.

E Some of our neighbors, as soon al
they received the returns from the Demo
cratic Townships in this County. got out
flaming extras. announcing that the Coun.
ty had gone Democratic. They did moi
stop to remember that there were Free
State Townships to come in. Guess they
wish they had their extras ''to home"
about this time. But ere this. we sup
pose. the news has spread over the entire
East. that Doniphan County has gone
Democratic. Our County is peculiarly
unfortunate. in this respect. At every
election. the first reports sent out repre-
sent her as being Pro- Slavery and it re.
quires subsequent reports to set her right
in the eyes Of tho civilized world.

FRrE NEGnOrs.-we find the follow.

FREE NEGnoEs.-We find the follow
ing in a Southern paper:
The Free Negro Nuisance continues
TO be complained of at the South ; and
we trust that the time is not far distant
when the Abelitionists of the North will
be grati6ed by the presence Of as large &
population of free blacks as they desire.
while the South is relieved wholly Of this
vagrant glass. The Arkansas papers con-
tain an address from a committee, appoin-
ted By the citizens Of Little Rock. to the
people of that State upon the subject oil
the removal Of free negroes from its lin
its. The address sets forth the undesirs-
bleness Of that class of population in a
slave holding community, suggests that
the necessary laws be passed BY the Leg
islature to remove them from Arkansas,
and to forbid their return forever after
wards"
We desire to call the attention Of a
portion Of tine people of Kansas to the
above-that portion who have stigmati-
zed those as ruffians, who wish to prohib-
it the emigration of free negroes into
Kansas. We Niong to that portion Of
the Free State party who want to make
Kansas Free White State-and the fact
is becoming plain. that If we wish to save
Kansas from the free negro nuisance,
something must be done to keep them
away. By the above extract, it will be
seen that even in the SLAVE States, where
the people are used to living among ne
groes. the free negro plague is becoming
intolerable. The Slave States, one after
another, are rapidly preparing to take
measures to remove their free negroes
from without their bounds. Where will
they send them to? Undoubtedly to the
Free States. 1t is plain, then, that the
Free States, as a matter Of self-defencs,
must adopt measures to keep out this ig-
norsnt and vicious class of free negroes.
The South is tired Of them, and wants to
infict them upon the North. which will
soon be overrun by them, if speedy means
are not adopted to keep them out. Upon
the same principle. the nations of Europe
are transporting their paupers and crimi-
nails to America and majority of them
invade the Free States. Does not every
well-wisher of the Northern States revolt
at the idea of their being made asylums
and penal colonies for the paupers and
criminals of the corrupt tyrannical Gov
ernments of Europe, aud colonies for the
free negroes and worn-out slaves of the
South ? Let the Northern States adopt
stringent laws against free negro emigra-
ton, and the South will be compelled to
retain this class of her population, or COL
onize them without the bounds of the
United States.

HIGHLAND, Oct. II, '5S.
Yours very truly,

| u. ~ OEANEhs
This rebuke will be keenIy felt by
those Free State traitors who deserted
their principles for the sake of Office, OF
in order TO be on the popular side. Some
we presume, will now come snoakins
back into ranks, while others will con
time to wallow in the mire of bogus De
mocracy. Had the mongrel ticket beer
successful, it would have had disastrous
effect upon the Free State cause in THU
County. But thanks to the 6rmness of tn,
true Free State men, that result has beer
avoided, and many of the lukewarm anG
wavering are again resssured, and will
henceforth come up to their duty.
The Free State party should also learr
a wholesome lesson from the narrow es.
cape it has made. The candidates or
their ticket, we have no doubt, were good
and true, but, as a whole, it was not such
a ticket as should have been put into the
field. Certain localities were so intent
upon having candidates, that they pushed
them ahead, without the least regard to
qualification or antecetlents. Our County
has as good material for Legislators, in
the Free State ranks. as any other County
in the Territory but the claims of such
men are usually overlooked. 1t is time
that capability were sought after, by nom-
mating Conventions. The Free State
party may realize this fact, when it is too
late to remedy it.
The news from the balance of the Ter
ritory is cheering. This County elects
5 Free State Representatives. Leaven-
worth has done molly, and elects 8 more.
Douglas and johnson elect 8 more. Brown
and Nemaha have doubtless elected l
more. The Counties South Of the Kan
sas river have elected several more. In
Jefferson County, the Democrats succeed
ed, by their humbuggery, in electing their
ticket. We presume that Marshall has
gone the same way and probably Bour-
bon also. In AtchisoA County the indie
pendent ticket is elected. The Democrats
claim this as victory. but it is rather a
doubtful one. The bolt was headed by
B. McBratney, an incorporating Re-
publican, and local issues decided the
elction. The successful candidates are
all staunch Free State men. With Nc
BTstney, boiling has assumed a chronic
type He has been at the business, ever
since he bolted Gen. Taylor's nomination,
in Ohio. in 1913. He was one of the
original Republicans, was never a Demo
crat, and it is not probable that he would
exert himself in favor Of a Democratic
Pro- Slavery ticket.
The Legislature is safe. There is a
Free State majority of more than two
thirds in each House. and they have the
power to do as they please, whether the
Governor is willing or not. Let US wait,
and see how they use their power.

The CoNISG LEGIsLATURE.-The cleo
ton is over, and there is a large Free
State majority in the Legislature. With
that Legislature rests the fate of the Free
State party. By their acts they have the
power to save or to ruin the cause. Then,
it becomes them to guard we'll their con-
duct in the process of legislation. Such
care was not observed by the lastLegis-
lature, and it committed blunders, and
neglected important matters, which well
nigh ruined the cause.
Let the members just elected, go to work
in earnest, and be governed entirely by
honesty of purpose, and regard for the
public welfare. Let it abstain from agi-
tating impracticable questions, to con-
sumo time, and create turmoil. The
Slavery question is one which some ia
natics would have forced before the Leg
islature. That body has not the authori-
~ to interfere with the question of Slave
Ty, as it now exists in the Territory. II
they do, they will place themselves in OPP
position to the laws of the land, and
PROSTATE the Free State cause in Kansas.
What the people want, is a new and
complete code of laws, which can be cas-
lily understood, and which will guarantee
justice too all. Specializing schemes should
be carefully avoided. Let necessary local
legislation be attended to, when essential
to the welfare Of those interested, when
there is no scheme Of speculation connected
with it. We want road and school laws,
and Court affairs need regulating. Coun-
ty and Township organizations are sadly
deficient, and need thorough overhaul
ing. Many laws are in conflict, and need
simplifying. We need an entirely new
election law. Voting should be by ballot,
each election should continue but one day
only, and power should be vested some
where, to establish voting precincts where
the public convenience requires them
Weneed new and fair apportionment for
the succeeding Legislature and, if deem
ed advisable. provision should be made
for taking census of the Territory, and
if the population is found to be sufficient,
for calling q Convention to frame State
Constitution. There are many other laws
required for the public good, which the
wisdom of the Legislators will perceive,
and which they should attend to. And,
above all, they should have an eye to one
thing-and that is, not TO defer important
bills until The last moment, so that, if it
suits the whims of the Governor, lie can
defeat them, by Withholding his signature,
when there is not sufficient time remaining
to render them legal without.
BY showing regard for the public
welfare, the Legislature may strengthen
confidence in the Free State party, and
enable it to retain its hard-earned power.
Otherwise, it will be useless for Free
State men to enter another canvass, and
endeavor to make q successful fight,
weighed down with the Encouragement
and dishonesty of their Representatives.
