Freeman's champion., 1858-04-01

ANU GuibVl VI InO AVC"ih pun OS"S
ocrat is getting sick ofKanzas. The
political and moral atmosphere don't
suit him. He came out here about
the time YE "Isothermal" Governor
did. when the prospects looked more
cheering of making this Democratic
State than they do at the present time.
Hear what he says:
1--WE had hoped that in escaping
from the humid putrifactious Of soci-
ETY. in the old States, to find in the
virgin atmosphere and uninfected
freshness of Kanzas. at least a brief
respite from the thousand 4" isms r"
and maudlin social excitements of the
last few years In this hope, how
ever, we are doomed to disappoint-
ment. From the following proceed
ings of a Woman's Rights Society,
at Moneka, "a one.horss, half'inch
city somewhere in KanzaS, (which we
publish in accordance with the very
modest request of the last resolution,
it seems that the same prurience which
gave birth to Bloomerism, Woman'S
Rights, Free Love, Spiritual Rap
pings, and abolitionism, in the States,
is already encients to foist its sickly
tulsomeness upon the people of the
Territories. Is there no refuge from
this miserable efetensss ?"
II must be borne in mind that this
fastidious editor, who is SO anxious
to escape from the "humid putrifac-
tons of society in the old States" en-
igrated here from Michigan, State
strongly Republican, and probably
one blessed with as many intelligent,
virtuous, moral, Industrious and en-
ergetic people, as any State in the
Union in comparison with its number
of inhabitants. 1t is very evident,
from his own language, that such peo-
pie were uncongenialto his taste, and
therefore he sought this land where
hesoon hoped to hear the clankine
Of the serfs chains, the cracking ol
the overseer's whip, the voice Of the
salesmen at the slave marts, and
where he could revel in orgies at the
doggeries and frequent the brothels
His hopes Of experiencing such fe-
licity are now dampened, and no is
doomed, if he remains, to the misery
ofcommingling with the freedom low
ing, the virtuous and moral.
What is it that causes this fastid
ious editor to feel so desponding at th'
future prospects of the Territory
Simply this: A few days ago some
ladies in the neighborhood ofMoneka
assembled and adopted the following
WHEREAS, Women cannot vote
and vet are subject to many laws
which are expressing and unjust
therefore ..,.
"Resolvsd, That every woman il
Kanzas, who believes that equa
rights to property, belonging to wo'
men, should consider herself com
mittee Of one, whose duty it is to dc
all in her power to convert to hcl
views at least one legal voter"
The idea that people who feel
themselves oppressed should make
efforts to secure the enjoyment Of
rights God intended should be be-
slowed alike upon all mankind, il
hideous and shocks the nerves of tho
fastidious editor. With the name
of "Women Rights" association
of "spirltualism," "frec-loviSm,'
and everything else that is dotestabl'
and vile, are intimately connected il
his mind. OF course these 'strong
minded women" who have been sc
efficient and labored 80 zealously tC
promot, the cause Of Freedom and
Temperance, and who, at this incipi-
ent stage Of our new Territory ore
endeayoring to "foist such Sickly
fulsomcness /" in our midst, are pests
to--tho democratic party The re
suits Of their influences conflict SO
vorely with the interests Of that noble
party n-N rr8
The fastidious editor wishes tc
know if there :" is no refuge from thi'
