Decidedly Ricb

The call for a State Convention, by the
Union Committee, is in every particular
agreeable to the instructions of caucus
unto, which met as Leayenworth few
evenings ago. We have nothing to say in
regard to it, but it is possible the people
win have something to say in the prem
ises. Whether it was the same junto or
another that fixed up the entire nomina-
tons for State officers we will not under
take to say, yet it is nevertheless true
that the ticket is agreed upon, and friend
who was in the caucus has furnished US
with list of the candidates. The State
Convention will find nothing to do when
convened, only to ratify the nomination
already agreed upon by aset of wire pullers.
We have some rich Developments which
the publicshall have the benefit of in due
time. The people to elect United States

Piaoiariass.

The Herald Of Freedom was the first
Free State paper published in Kansas, and
it has stood by the canse through evil as
well as good report. The name, though
we have since learned that It had been
previously used, was Original ,ciH as, and
was accidentally determined on as ths name
for o,u journal. Since then several other
papers, professedly Free State, have been
established in Kansas, four of which have
plagiarized the idea and almost the name
of onr paper: 1st, The Kansas Freeman,
Published for a time at Topeka by Mr.
Garyey; I'd, Champion Of Freedom, pub
lished by Nh. PrSaty at Paire City; Sd,
CRUSADER Of Freedom, published by Red
path at Doniphan, ard which has "kinder
gin out,,' and 4th, Ereedom's Chapspio7',
which superseded the Squatter Souereign.
Each of those papers which have tried
to steal our name, have also labored to rob
US of our good reputation. The Kansas
freeman has long since gone the way Of
defunct journals. and its name is almost
forgotten. The Crusader Of Freedom an
nounces thatit has temporarily suspended.
If revived it viii be only temporary. Its
birth was attended with too much display
to ensure a long life. It was to be an
illustrated" paper, and the special organ
of the Free State party. The Republi-
can press all over the country heralded its
natal morn with joy, asit was to supersede
the detected Herald Of Freedom" 1t
has lived an illustrated LIE from the time
of its appearance; it dies enunciating a
falsehood that, The mission of the Free
State party is ended.' The Champion ct
Freedom has been the Champion of Cal
umny, it has lived It's brief day, expired,
and rose again to die forever. Freedoms
Champion will strut its hour on the stage,
but its editor will learn in time that it has
nothing to gain by running tilt with the
Herald Of Freedom. The latter has a
name and fame which will survive the
times, and the plagiarists who seek to rob
it of its title, and the vile herd who are
alike destitute of genius, as they are Of
moral honesty, who cannot ape its Goor
qualities, hence are trying to crush it by
representing us as possessing their bad
ones.

OJ Persons wishing to go down the
Missouri on the best steamer on the river
should so arrange it as to be in Wyandott
by daylight of Saturday morning of each
week, when they can connect with the
JoHE II. DIcKEY, and be certain of con-
Meeting with the cars at Jefferson City,
so as to arrive in st. Louis on Sunday
evening. Returning, they should leage
st. Louis on the three o'clock express
train on Tuesday, when they will take
the steamer at nine O'Clock PM, and ar
rive at Wyandott early on Friday morn
ing, in time to connect with Eldridge's
stages to Lawrence. Travellers viii do
well to remember this.

It is getting to be the practice among
the sharpers to repeat the sale of lots and
quarter sections, they may have, and thus
make in the double price clever per cent
age on their investment.
1t must be admitted that the oportuni-
ty for this kind of swindling was last
year favorable, but since we have Record
er's offices, that are convenient and legal
those who get swindled in this manner are
little deserving of sympathy. There is
only one safe method which a purchaser
or encumbrancer of land or lots can adopt:
that is in ali cases to examine the records
before completing his transaction. This
precaution practiced and there will be
little of that new game of double selling
successfully played. 4.

F Mr.. Parrott made speech in Con-
gress, on the Slst ult., against the Lecomp-
ton swindle. He claimed to represent
the entire people of Kansas; said that
they had been diYested of the rights to
which they were entitled, and had no
means to redress their wrongs. They
were the victims of merciless warfare and
persecution, and after the despotism i'm
pesed By foreign invasion, and maintained
by the presence of the army of the Gov
ernment, the civil strife had at last culmi-
mated in the Lecompton Constitution,
which was designed to make perfect the
vassalage of the people. The Convention
was fraudulently constituted, and the pre-
tended submission of the constitution a
cheat. We hope to receive the speech at
length.

Gone 10 Washiug,on

DR. RoBINsoN is now in Washington,
where he went to protest. in person against
the passage of the Lecompson Constitu-
ton. Several presses which had former
ly been singing praises to his memory are
now giving the Doctor the cold shoulder,
and are laboring to prejudice the public
against him, by falsifying his position.
We haye no stock in that gentleman, but
we dc. protest most solemnly against trying
to put him down by lying insinuations.
such as we saw in cotemporary last
week. The policy is to strike down our
old time honored leaders to make room
for a set of adventures whose chief capi-
tai is falseheod and Misrepresentation.
The Kansas herald of freedom., 1858-04-10
Blind Guides.

1t is conceded at Washington that the
defeat of the Leeompton Swindle was
owing to Galhoun's having issued certifi-
Gates of election to Free State majority
of the Legislature, bywhieh the power was
given to the Free State party to supercede
that infamous Constitution by one framed
by the people. Will our Kansas readers
keep in mind the abuse those Free State
men in Kansas received from a certain po-
hticd .junto, because they determined to
participate in that election. Had the poll
icy Of those men prevailed, Kansas would
have been nthe Union Saaue State, and
free State men would have been fleeing
from the Territory, else we would have
been on the verge of a civil war. We
tremble as we think of the awful preci-
piee we have escaped by proper action at
the proper time The same men who
were then leading US with aciR-o'-aoisp
are now trying to lead Us off in similar
direction, where political destruction will
inevitably follow. The people should
learn that these men are blind guides, and
If they lead the blind all will fall into the
ditch.

Yarr Huniliating.

We are certainly Inundated to see the
course of some of our Kansas cotempora-
ries in regard to Gov. Ghase's letter to us
several weeks ago, giving his views on
Kansas matters. These journals have no
arguments to combat differences of opin-
ion with, but when man differs from
them. it becomes criminal offence, and
he must be crushed at once. One after
another of sonr Kansas men have been
stricken down by them, until none of the
old leaders of the party are left Even
Doct. ROBINSON, whom they idolized a
few months ago, is now very bad man
in their opinion, and he must be put out
of the way. We, in our simplicity, sup
posed that It was 10 get those men aside
so they could get the Offices, that they
thus deported themselves; /; but what
earthly consideration can induce them to
strike at Gov. CHASE of Ohio /? Former
" twas the delight of Free State men
to desire the advice of the time -honored
leaders OF tho old anti-slavery guard in
the States batnow these nsw lights in
Kansas discover that it is criminal for
statesmen to express an opinion antago-
nistie to theirs. On the floor of the Ohio
Legislature few days ago, when some
member had spoken harshly of Gov
CHASE, buchanan Democrat from Gin
cinnati--Senator HATeH-sprang to his
feet and said
No man shall assail the character of
Gov. Chase in my hearing, without nv
reprobation. His integrity IS above sus-
picion, and nothing the press can Say of
him viii be more than the idle wind.
There is no man in Ohio TO whom he
would ceneede higher priRcipies Of losaor.

by the way Of 0sawatomie. The IasI

Progressing Backwards.

Tt is very apparent that but few years
more will pass away ere bitter contest
viii be waged on the floor of Congress, tc
secure the repeal of all laws making the
foreign slave trade piracy. Each yeal
the slave power makes new inroads upon
the cause of freedom. Commencing with
the annexation of Louisiana, and followed
by the purchase of Florida; the bitter
contest of 1919 and 40, which resulted
in the adoption of the Missouri Com
promise; and then the Florida war, the
real object of which was to capture few
runaway negroes, with its expenditure Of
forty million dollars; and then the annex
alton of Texas, the war with Mexico
which followed, and the cost to the nation
of two hundred millions of dollars
These were succeeded by the compromise
measures of 1850, and the fugitive slave
law. In 1854, the barrier of 1920 against
slavery was broken down, and the Dred
Scott decision soon followed as q matter
of course. And so we are drifting on,
each year approximating nearer and nesr-
er to that whirlpool from which there is
no extrication. It is the design Of slav-
cry. in the year 1858. to extend its damn
ing curse over Kansas. Next year ii
hopes to be strong enough to override
every barrier in its progress. The foreign
slave trade, with all It's horrors, win be
revived, unless the people rise as one man
to resist it. Perhaps it is as well TO meet
the usurpation of the slave power n0sc,
and end the contest By one united and
vigorous effort. Let Us watch the deyeI-
Iopment Of affairs, and see where NE are
drifting, and how to avoid the rnelstrom
which is 50 near us.

As.oesa.. ra,..-

We take pleasure this week in intro
ducing Mr.. MARTIN to the public as asso-
eiate editor, for the time being, of the
Herald Of Freedom. MIR. Martin is a good
writer, gentleman of experience, first
rate printer, and as such has the super
vision of the mechanical department of
our paper. Mr., M. had charge of the ed :
itcrial department of the Fl. of F. during
our absence to st. Louis, and gave COM
plete satisfaction to all concerned.

OF 1t is to be regretted that Journalists
protesting to be actuated by desire to
make Kansas Free State cannot let its
eotemporaries alone, and pursue its own
way, without eternally harping upon rival
journals The existence of the Herald of
Freedom is not dependent upon the caprice
of any person seeking its destruction, and
it cannot be affected by any further false
hoods at its expense. It's mission to Kan
sas was one which good men everywhere
approved--its policy has met the appro-
baton of those who knew it best, and its
publisher viii consult his own method OF
conducting it, and win bid defiance to all
opposition. As to replying to the false
hoods of our cotemporary we shall not
try, as it would consume our entire space
to the exclusion of other matters.

WORM Remembering.

LISA well known fact that liar is
always suspicious of his neighbor, and is
always on the lookout for falsehood. The
thief, too, suspects all Others to be govern
ed by the same motives which govern
himself; whilst the truthful man is al
WAYS credulous. The honest man looks
upon others as he would wish Others to
look upon him, and hence is at times de-
ceiyed; but when he finds he has been
defrauded by a villain, he remarks that it
is better so than to suffer continually from
the demon Suspicion which would other
wise haunt him continually.
Some of our Kansas politicians, were
we to judge of their characters by their
actions, we should infer were bad men,
They seem to suppose all persons. to be.
false but themselves-they are always
expecting to be duped. Friends as well
as opponents are suspected, consequently
the snrfaee of affairs is always rufled-
Somebody has been bought up, subsi
died, or has voluntarily deserted his party
or principles. Somebody also is always
the scoundrel-they are always honest
men.
The experience of the world, however
has been that the thief is always the first
person to cry stop thiefn If there is q
woman in the neighborhood of easy yir-
tue, the world will know it by her con-
slant abuse of her neighbors, who are
above reproach.
This law which regulates the social
world, and which elected the remark
from Christ, That measure which ye
mete to Others shall be meted to you
again." is exemplifed in every depart
ment of society. The merchant who is
constantly remarking upon the bankrupt
CT of his neighbor is not to be trusted.
The lawyer who sees no legal talent in
rival practitioner is probably destitute
of legal learning; whilst the doctor who
anirnsdverts upon other members of his
profession is not above suspicion.
The church member who talks the
loudest about members falling from grace,
: and who deplores the lukewarmness in
the church, is probably the first one who
will be suspected of backsliding. s
The editor who thunders so valiantly
against rival, charging him with treach-
cry to principles. false to his trust, and as
only sustained BY contributions, is the first
! to desert his post, is sure TO have been the
first that was sustained by charitable con-
tributions, and viii probably first cease to
have an existence.
Now we don't want anybody to make a
personal application of these aphorisms,
as they are facts which every days expe-
rience has established, and are only pub
lished to call the attention of the reader
to them anew. II, however, any person
has claims against publishers who are
waiting the downfall of their neighbors,
it would be well to be on the lookout for
them, as they cannot be safely trusted.
