sREPuBLIcAN 0RGANIzAuoS.-The edit
Or Of the Atchison Champion is slightly
mistaken, when It accuses us of being
particularly severe upon him for advoca-
ting Republican organization in Kansas
We are certainly opposed to the move
ment, bat at the same time accord to all
the right to think and act as they please
in the matter. Some of the Champions
arguments deserve passing notice.
Hetakss thessme ground assumed by the
balance Of the party-i. E. that the Re-
publicans are the only friends of Kansas
The Republicans are really the most
Pharisaical body Of men ever organized
into party. With them, the Republi-
cans are the only men who ever did Kan
sas any good. If members of any other
party stand up for the rights Of Kansas.
It is for the sake Of popularity. or for po-
litical effect; but the Republicans are all
purity, and they are the only disintercsted
friends of Kansas and their entire de-
votion seems to consist in continually
thanking the Lord that they are not like
other people.
To tell the truth, Kansas brought the
Republican party into existence, upon
Kansas it has lived, and with the settle
: ment Of the Kansas question it viii die.
1t therefore stands them in hand to sa-
credly guard Kansas, lest some other par
ty receive credit for doing her some serv-
iees As far as the Democratic party is
concerned, we have not word to say. for
we have no stock IN the concern but in
regard to the Campion's strictuSes upon
the American party, we hare something
tOsay. Notwithstanding it accuses that
party with sneering at "blceding Kansas. :"
some of the best friends of Kansas belong
70 that party, and majority of the
members of that party have ever been
heartily in favor of Free Kansas, even if
they have not made that their hobby, to
the entire exclusion of everything else
What Republican has been truer to Kan
sas, from the first movement toward the
repeal of the Missouri Compromise to
the final vote on the English swindle,
than John j. Crittenden and John Bell I?
While N. P. Banks and other lights of
Republicanism, lodged the final vote on
the Kansas-Nebraska Bill, j. Scott Har-
rison, Jacob Broom, Solomon G. Haven,
and other Americans, fought manfully
against it, until the last day in the evening.
Hunt, Of Louisiana, and Cullom, Of Ten
nessee, were left at home at the next elec-
ton, for opposing the repeal of the Mis-
souri, Compromise, while Banks was re-
elected for lodging the vote. Harrison,
Haven, Broom and other Americans, were
defeated by means of the Republicans,
the exclusive friends of Kansas, and Le-
compton Democrats elected over every
one Of them, because these Americans re-
fused to support Fremont, who had re-
Gently been a Fire-Eater, but who, when
he saw his name proposed for the Presi-
dency, wrote letter to Charles Robinson,
In which he said he thought Kansas ought
to De a Free State. While these Amer
leans were lighting against the Kansas
Nebraska Bill, we do not believe we would
miss it if we were to venture the assertion
that F. P. Blair, Jr., the Champions
candidate for Vice President, was rejoicing
nthe passage Of that Bill. We do know
that while Crittenden was raising his
voice against Lecompton, w. II. Seward,
the Champions candidate for President,
was procIaiming that the slavery question
was settled, and that there was no farther
use for the Republican party! Yet, Crit
tenden, Bell and other Americans, are en-
emies Of Kansas, because they do not be-
long to the Republican partyl Critten-
den. Bell, Humphrey Marshall. H. Win
ter Davis, E. Joy Morris, and others, who
opposed LecOmptOn to the last. with their
voices and their votes, are enemies to
Kansas. because they are Fillmore Amer
leans but a score of small-fry Congress
men, who never opened their mouths up
on the subject, and number of whom
perhaps paired off when the question came
to . vote, are devoted friends to Kansas,
because they are Republicans !
Out upon such hypocrisy Let us hear
no more of this palaver
