The above we find in the CRUSADER En-
Of March 26th, and must confess we
srdIy know what to make of it. Once
. thought that the CRUSADER was estab-
|hed to maintain the Free State Party
ID its principles, but now we know it
s bs not. We, for moment, cannot be-
I've it is right to abandon our ship, in
e very hour of peril, to let her drift
bid the rocks and sand banks in such
pm. 1t is certain destruction. Can the
crusader persuade five thousand freemen
at the cause for which they have so no.

aintained by IAN organized hypocrisy ?"
bn he persuade fifteen thousand freemen,
Imposed of Republicans, Democrats and
[mericans, but united for the defence of
keir liberties, that, on the point of yicto-
!, they should disband and give it up ?
! Oes he presume that the freemen of
[ansas will abandon to shame that blood
Eained banner around which they have
lllied, and under which they have fought,
Ecause some disappointed fanatic dares
speak contemptuously of it? Does not

ined by the conduct of jas. H. Lane"
<timate miserable pretext for discard
sg the party and abusing it? Does not
ch course indicate a lack of principle?
hat does the declaration "having now
ceived local support" mean, if it does
b plainly say, I have been bought to
slndon the Free State Party and abuse
leaders? Was not the Crusader estab-
|hed last December, and supported by
e entire Free State Party of Doniphan?
hye not its former friends abandoned it?
et the editor declares that ''now," after
Sving ignored the party as "an organized
! [pocrisy," and denounced its leader as a
Political aspirant," that "now having re-
wed local support" he will do thus
Fd so. Where does that local support
pow" come from? We will net charge
|e Crusader with being bought by the
aring "chink, chink" of corrupting
pa, to 'hoist the Republican Flag" and
fnounce the Free State party and its
zaders, but we ask Free State men to con-
der these things, and we ask Republi-
Ens if they are ready to abandon the
hrty they have organized and supported,
hd which has SO nobly fought for liberty.
Geary City Era.
1t should be remembered that the
crusader Of Freedom was edited by James
{siPdth, known outside of this Territory
the frst Kansas correspondent of the
iasorri Democrat, and subsequently as
be correspondent of the New York In
IHe and the Chicago Tribune. 1t will
50 be recollected that he is one of the
Ftterest and most vindictiye men in the
orid, an Eaglislanan who, it is said, re-
psed to take the oath of allegiance to our
Pyernment because of its Pro-slayery
faracter. He is said to be an ayowed
fsunionist, and an imitator of VIM. Lloyd
Farrison in everything but his morality.
During the last year, Reapath has writ
"a column after column denunciatory OF
