The Issue.

The voting people of Kansas, acting
under authority conferred upon them
by Congress and their own Territorial
Legislature, says the Union, have framed
a Constitution, and now ask to be ad
mitted into the Union as a State. They
have answered all the requirements Of
the Law. Their proceedings are pre-
cisely such as they were directed to ac-
complish. They have done as they
were told they must do in order to be
prepared for admission. They occupy
the legal side of the question. They
are opposed by n%on-voting people of
Kansas, who organized a government at
Topeka in defiance of Congress and the
territorial authorities. The latter claim
that they outnumber the applicants for
admission-that they are in point of
fact the people of Kansas. Now, what
we have to say upon the issue is this
that by no manner of reasoning are
there any such non-voting citizens Of
Kansas. They may inhabit the Terri
tory, but they are not citizens in legal
contemplation. They refused to exer-
else their political rights and duties, and
not only thereby consented that those
who did vote should decide the policy
of the community, but became political
nonentities, divesting themselves wen
of the right to be heard in protest.
We have no idea of a man coming away
from a persistent work of mischief and
crime claiming a right to impeach the
public Of bad laws and the police Of
irreverent action in his arrest. Those
who foment Instruction should not be
permitted to dictate to a loyal people
what shall be their form of government.
This may be homely way of illustrating
the Kansas controversy, but it is never
theless, the true way. The Constitu-
ton submitted to Congress does not
spring from Topeka and Topckaites; it
comes from the people, acting through
the territorial authorities: and should
receive all the credit due to an act so
important.

Kansas in Clark County.

SPRINGFIELD, Tuesday February 8.
To the EIitor Of The Enquirer:
At a meeting of Democrats in Union
Hall the following preamble and resolu-
tons were unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, VIC have witnessed with
gogues-claiming to be Democrats-to
distract the public mind and create the
impression that the masses of the De-
mocracy North are opposed to the poll
cy of the Administration in regard to
Kansas; therefore, be it.
Rcyotred that, in the opinion of this
meeting, the policy laiddown in the Pres
ident's late Kansas Message is eminent
lyjust-true to the principles ofthe Kan
sas-Nebraska Act: the Cincinnati plat
form, and offers the only sure and safe
means of getting this distracting ques-
ton settled on a basis just to both sec
tons of the country.
ReSotced, That we have 10 sympathy
with the factious majoity in Kansas,
who, diSrcgarding the laws, both FEEDER
al and Territorial, the interests Of them
selves and the whole Union, have been,
from the first to the last, engagedin manu-
featuring capital for decaying Repubii-
canism, Abolitionism and all the other
isms that have for their object the dis
union of these States.
RcsoAred, That we have full confidence
in the ability of our Representatives in
Congress to discharge their duties, and
that we regard the resolutions instruc-
ting them to oppose the admission of
Kansas as inexpedient and inconsistent
with the confidence they express in the
integrity and ability of the President,
Resoired, That the foregoing resolu-
tions be published in the Democrat pa
pers favorable to the admission of Kan
sas as Recommended by the President,
JOHN OUINLI, Sec'y
Preble County Democrat. [volume] (Eaton, Ohio) 1857-1859, 1858-02-18
The 10 Per Cent Law,

A bill is now before the Legislature
to repeal what is known as the 10 per
cent Law, and substit ute a law there
fore, making the lega | rate of interest
6 per cent, or Z per cent, and to render
all contracts utterly void where a grea-
ter rate of interest han this is either
directly or indirectly taken.
We think this is a move in the right
directions. Bankers through the agen-
cy of private operators, have been -feec-
ing the people about long enough
With them the rates charged does not
stop at 10 per cent, but runs up often
as high as 20, and 80, and even so is
sometimes extorted from those who are
fastened in the clutches Of the heartless
Shylocks who are strangers to mercy.
a law making their usurious obliga-
tons void, will put IN end to the merci-
less ~skinning of Bankers and brokers,
it will also put our finances in a health
Ter and better condition, and free them
from the periodical expansions and con
fractions incident to the shaving opera
tons of money kings.
1t may be claimed that this law would

it is far better to have that fcticious

Let our Legislature pass this law by

long ago. Although our Legislators by
so doing, incur the displeasure of some
the masses will stand by and uphold
them.-Cruuftord Co., F6run1.

Black Republican Consistency.

Our Republican friends, both in and
out of Congress, says the Washington
Union, are just now wonderfully exer-
cised over the affairs of Kansas. They
are, apparently greatly shocked at the
thought that Congress is about to force
upon the people of that Territory a con-
stitution for their government and are
crying out most Justify that such a
course would be the worst of tyranny,
because they say it is denying to this
poor people the right to mould their
domestic institutions in their own way.
When did these gentlemen learn that
Congress has no power over the affairs
of the Territories, and that for it to un-
dertake to meddle with them was a ty-
ranny and an outrage? One of the
distinctive features in their creed has
been that the doctrine of popular SOW
ereignity was all wrong, and that the
r ght to legislate for the Territories be-
l 'ngcd exclusively to Congress. This, if
W. remember Alright, was a short time
ago inscribed upon all their banners,
and everywhere proclaimed by their or
ators and newspapers. When we ask,
did they b come converts to the great
DesEssxatiasdoctrine of popular sover-
eignityand OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
ten? When did they discover that the
people of the Territory had a right to
manage their own affairs in their own
way, and without the Intervention of
Congress.

Tbc First ana second Act.

The dropping of the political curtain
and the prolonged period occupied by
the actors indicate altogether new cos
tunes, scenes, and plots by the re-
publicans in the great drama now under
representation before the American peo-
pie. There are to be no negroes on the
boards any more at present. White
men have Just risen into favor. We
are positively threatened with republi-
can sympathy for our own American
pcople-their rights hereafter are to
come into notice.
The programme Of the anti-slavery
men has been changed. Its future
movements are to be turned to allesa-
lions of frauds in Kansas. The public
mind is to be filed with ceaseless, per-
~sistent, and reckless denunciation Of the
people of a distant Territory, who, for
nearly four years, have striven by every
exertion to maintain there the govern
mcnt established by Congress. That
government was met by oppOsition-an
opposition that soon degenerated into
instruction and rebellion. The con-
spirators adopted every means under
heaven to degrade: defeat, and overthrow
it. They created in opposition to it the
government of Topeka. They refused
to recognize the authority either of the
local legislature or hat of Congress-
Thus the work went IN to its consum-
mation-the adoption of a State consti-
ton. This being accomplished, the al
tentative was presented of risking an
open rebellion or organizing the oppo-
sition upon an entirely new basis-that
of alleged frouds in the election. The
latter has been adopted as the safer and
more available of the two modes of at
tack. Hence We may anticipate an ut
ter change of scene-a new mode of tao
tics and warfare Mr.. Harris, of Hi
nois, a recruit to the republicans, is Sc
lected to lead off. He opens the work
with a most formidable effort to clothe a
committee of the House of Representa-
tives with all the powers usually confer
red by State legislatures, by which the
viii of the people is ascertained upon
any given question. The first assump-
ton in this process is this that the
federal government has been in rebel
lion against Lawrence and Topeka; the
second is, that it is the province of Con-
gress to conduct State and territorial
elections, and to decide their results;
the third is, that those who legally ad-
hered to the act of 1854 ought to be
punished and degraded; the fourth is:
that the ubiquitous rebels and those
"mob-law men" denounced by Mr..
Douglas and Mr.. Harris a year and a
half age are now DISTINGUISHED patriots
and political martyrs, whose vindication
is to be the chief object of this new holy
alliance in American politics.
